I had been here before but when I came to try the food, the cafeteria had been closed, but, today…read morewas the day! What a hidden gem I just found! Im not sure where to start.... Firstly, this is a small store but it is entirely packed with all middle eastern/indian essentials, like flours, seeds, condiments, chips, sweets (bagged and homemade), canned goods, clay pots, etc. PLUS it has a meat butchery in the back, which means the freshest halal meat...fresh ground beef, chicken breast, ground veal, lamb, organ meats from veal and lamb, etc. it all looked VERY FRESH. They also have a small vegetable section but that is mostly very essentials like cilantro, carrots, onions and tomatoes. PLUS it is a restaurant! Which is precisely what I was there for and, left very well satisfied. I tried the daily special (Mon-Sat 11am-6pm) "sandwich" but is not with bread, is with pita, and chose BEEF KOFTA and FELAFEL.. WOW ! both definitely larger than a usual lunch portion. The kofta was juicy, tender, fresh and very well seasoned with fresh veggies and a mildly spicy red sauce inside that was just perfect every bite!. The felafel was PACKED with smashed felafels with veggies and I added garlic sauce and red sauce... it was truly delicious! They have a wide variety of drinks, chips, snacks and sodas from middle east to complement your sandwich. Also, at the entrance, they have their special coffee, which you serve yourself, and it was delicious! To top it off, the service was very friendly, specially from the lady at the cafeteria, but overall friendly and helpful. And BEFORE you leave, take a look at the small perfume section they have! we found some fantastic arabic perfumes and I will be back for 1 of them that hypnotized me lol. A hidden gem for me and will definitely be back !

Something to clarify: Two Brothers Halal Market is both an Indian grocery store and a restaurant…read more This review will cover the grocery section as I have not tried the restaurant in the back. This is a great secondary grocery. By that, I mean you go here for ingredients you can't find in a regular grocery store like Kroger or HEB. This has the best selection of whole spices and lentils I've seen anywhere in this area: so great in fact that this grocery is my go to location for these goods. If you're in the area and you want to cook some Indian food, this place is one you must visit. However, their limited space limits the amount of inventory they can hold. This results in extremely limited amounts of vegetables (I saw one large container, and that was it). I didn't see milk or eggs at all. Their meat selection is better though; they even have frozen microwave dinners separated by meat (beef, chicken, and lamb). I wouldn't use this grocery for pantry essentials; I'd use them in case you want to eat/cook something from Indian cuisine specifically. And the parking spaces are very limited. I got lucky and found a parking space, but not everyone might be so lucky. The parking lot is just two rows of spaces, and a couple are reserved for a separate entity. I'd try to get here near the time they open (9 am every day according to their website) since there's probably fewer people then.

Needed tacos. This was the closest place to my work that said TACOS on it. So I went in. It's a…read moreconvenience store with a taco stand inside it. I was the only gringa in the line, so I listened to what everyone else ordered. Five guys in a row ordered corn tortillas, and since I like those anyway, who am I to argue? Validation FTW! Ordered three beef fajita tacos in corn tortillas, cilantro, no onion (I know, shut up), green sauce. The green sauce has a nice slow low burn to it. It's a little oily, but maybe that's why the burn doesn't hurt. The corn tortillas are wonderful - clearly very fresh. The beef fajita is nice, nothing special, but definitely not larded with weird gristle pockets like sometimes happens. And the tacos are $1.50 each. OH YEAH. On balance, yeah, am going back. Soon.

I visit two other locations prior to walking in the correct door. The tamales were great flavor and texture. I ordered 4 pork tamales. Theirs not variety of meals plates here. No sides, just tamales and drinks and pastries. It's mainly a bakery that offers tamales. Customer service very friendly. I would order tamales from here again. They were moist, and had a bit of oil on it not too bad though. The donut my son ordered was not as enjoyable or worth the $1.10 for a sugar donut. It was not glazed. It was dry with sugar. He probably took 2 bites and placed the rest in the waste bin.
