    Salsa and half order of chile con queso
    Janaya M.

    The service is good, our server was friendly. The place was clean. The tea is good. They bring green salsa and a red salsa. The green is bit more mild but they are both good. We ordered the chicken fajitas and 2 al pastor tacos. The fajitas do not come out on a skillet, the chicken is just chopped up with some onions, it was hot, it was ok. The Al pastor tacos were not great. The meat was kinda soggy and almost ground up. The rice was a wet rice with a different flavor than most I have ever had. Didn't care for it at all and I generally love Mexican rice. An acquaintance recommended this place and they love it, especially the breakfast. So I would say maybe try their breakfast or perhaps having previously lived on the Mexican border and eating there often I'm too picky. Overall I wouldn't rate it terrible but definitely not the best I've ever had.

    Money and Portion Worth The Money! Let me begin with the customer service. The owner and staff are on point! Let it be known, the owner is known for offering a free appetizer and constantly checking on patrons. So don't be surprised if you get a few visits. Food - 4 stars The food is tasty and good. Portion size is definitely worth the money. Customer service - 5 stars Greeted when entering and constantly checked on. Price - 2-3 dollar signs Reasonable price Cleanliness- 4 stars Restroom - stars N/A

    Our check. Not bad at all

    First time trying this one. First, it's a pleasant low key atmosphere. We were greeted at the door with a smile and seated right away. Chips and salsa as usual. The chips are made in house and are substantial. Salsa are nice. Green is not the usual mild fare, it has a nice spice that reads more creamy tomatilla than guacamole. The red is very nice with a good amount of spice. We ordered the chicken flautas and the fajita combo (chicken, beef and shrimp) with corn tortillas (house made). The flautas were hot and fresh, nicely puffy and crisp. The chicken is flavorful. Fajitas are nicely cut, grilled to perfection and the amount is more than enough for the three tortillas which are served soft and warm in the standard warmer. A very pleasant experience and we will definitely be back

    Queso flameado
    Yolanda G.

    I ordered the queso flameado and it was disgusting. The chorizo was burned and the cheese was so hard it was like a big hard glob that you couldn't dip anything in. I tried to heat it to see if that would help but it didn't. But even if it did nobody wants to eat burned chorizo. The chips were stale. My enchiladas were edible no had no flavor.

    The gentleman in the pink was the one who was very tentative.

    We stayed a weekend after visiting the Zoo. We came in this morning for a quick breakfast before we hit the road back home. We stopped and we had a GREAT experience. Delicious food and reasonably priced. The service was fast and very friendly. The restaurant itself self was clean and welcoming. The staff treated us like we were locals. There was a gentleman wearing a pink shirt, he was either the manger or the owner who check in on us and ask if we needed anything each time. He talked to our 3 year old son and gave him a Duvalin after he ate his breakfast. We sang Happy Birthday to someone but everyone participated in the singing. We all went to the restroom before heading out and my son left his plush snake at the table and one of the servers was waiting with his snake at the door jokingly asking him if he liked her snake. We definitely will be coming back! Thank you for your hospitality and a great dinning experience.

    Clean restaurant, clean restrooms. Service was attentive, friendly and inviting. Everything we had from chips and salsa to our plates were fresh, hot and most importantly DELICIOUS. We've driven by here countless times but have never stopped in, and we will definitely be returning. Do yourself a huge favor, if you're craving GOOD Mexican food, pass on Casa Ole and just come here!

    Guidry's is truly a staple in our house! Lately, we've been coming here about once a week,…read moreespecially during crawfish season. We make sure to get our crawfish intake in while we can. The 1x spicy level is our go-to! I love a bit of spice, but this has an amazing flavor that other crawfish just don't have. It's the perfect balance of heat and flavor. Everything on the menu is great, but we especially love the jalapeño crab poppers and, of course, the boudin balls; they are so good every single time. With all the well-deserved hype Guidry's has been getting lately (yes, you might have to wait, but it's absolutely worth it, we just happen to live close!), we've been ordering to-go more often, and even then, the service is still beyond amazing! The waitstaff is always so friendly and welcoming, and the Cajun atmosphere really makes the whole experience. It's one of those places you just keep coming back to. Hands down, this is our favorite Cajun restaurant in the Surrounding Houston Area. Geaux Tigers!

    I had high hopes for this place from the looks of the pictures and seeing that their main cuisine…read morewas Louisiana Cajun seafood. We came in on a Friday around lunch time and it was seemed like a common spot to go to by the locals. The staff is genuinely kind, seated us easily, and quick to service us. We had gotten the pork rind appetizer with the crawfish cheese sauce- I'd say it was a nice starter and the rinds were freshly made and still crackling as we were eating them! Sadly, the crawfish tasted like it's been sitting out and the blue crab was dry unless you dowsed the butter all over it. So it was either too salty or not enough seasoning.

The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, a good setting for a family celebration. The service was really good. Our team was attentive and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. They brought out complimentary hushpuppies as an appetizer, and those were definitely a highlight... warm, fresh, and flavorful. As for the food, it was overall okay. I ordered the grilled shrimp with a loaded baked potato and onion rings, and my meal was pretty tasty. Everything was cooked well and satisfying. Several family members ordered the catfish. They loved the texture, it was cooked nicely, but mentioned that it could have used more seasoning or flavor. Another person at the table ordered the seafood fondue dip and said it was delicious. All in all, it was a pleasant visit with good service and a few standout items. A nice place for gathering with family.
