As you enter, you'll find the bar on your left, offering a wide variety of beers and mixed drinks (although I didn't get to try them, they looked great). The customer service was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff was very kind and attentive, and they seated us super quickly. I noticed they also have live music on certain days, which is a big plus. I ordered the tacos al carbón, which come with rice, beans, and guacamole. Everything was flavorful and delicious. My husband ordered a burrito, which was also very tasty. The Jamaica water was refreshing, and the overall experience left me wanting to come back again!

We learned in our media classes that advertising may get you to try a product or a place that first…read moretime, but if the product of the place does not live up to the expectations created by the ad, there won't be a return visit or purchase. Advertising has its place. I'm always dubious of posts that I see from so-called influencers on social media. Especially when I view someone with 20 sets of false eyelashes and enough food for ten delivered to the table and lots of oohs and ahhs. But I'm always willing to check out a new place and make my own decision because it's a fun hobby of mine. And I'm retired and I have plenty of time. Now I've been traveling in Mexico for most of my life because of family and friends that I have there, and I have a real soft spot for the cuisine of Mexico, whether from the seven regions that culinary historians talk about; or the sub regions such as our beloved Tex-Mex, which I love. And so today brings me to this little place up on Airline Drive that I heard about from a so-called influencer on Instagram. Los Mendoza Mexican Restaurant. I'm here in the morning and it's a breakfast all day option kind of place. I get a fruit smoothie (Ilusión) and a tecolota, their riff on a chilaquiles sandwich. The smoothie is excellent and I would come back just for it. They offer an option with or without sugar. A no charge, courtesy consommé with potatoes and fideo arrives. Delicious. As was the excellent sandwich. See photos. Beef birria ramen; tacos ahogados; caldo de albondigas; patitas de puerco en salsa roja; beef short ribs... how is it that I am just discovering this place? I love, cruising down Airline, Irvington, and Fulton, as there are so many places to choose from a Mexican culinary heritage. I want to spend a year, just trying all of the different places.

En resumen el área lo dice todo.

Despite advertising blue crabs didn't have any . So the combo two plate that was supposed to come with two of them we had to get one snow crab cluster instead and pay an extra dollar despite the fact it's supposed to have two blue crabs . It was very packed in there and the table we had was one of those plastic cookout folding tables you can tell they just put a table cloth over to maximize profits . i would hate for the fire marshall to walk through there . Hated the sausage it wasn't rogerwood or hillshire farm but whatever tf that was was nasty as hell . but i guess id have pretty high standards as someone who lives by a place where i can get fresh seafood . The raw oysters were really good though. crab bags were 6/10

This is one of those places that Anthony Bourdain would've loved. I mean my God how do you make food this good? The daughter of the owner was so nice. She told me their family was from San Luis Potosi. Food: their posole was made fresh and it was simply amazing. It has a very different flavor that I've never tried before. It was simply the best person that I've ever had. I can't put my finger on it, but it's some sort of different style or different ingredients because it's different from any other person that I've ever had but it's one of my favorites. The chips and salsa with three different sauces were simply amazing. Oh my God like how does food get this good. The breakfast taco with potato and bacon was great. You can tell they have homemade tortillas here. Customer service was great. Everyone that works. Here is very nice and very personable. This is an easy five star review. I cannot wait to come back and try more things off their menu. If you follow me and follow my reviews, I'm telling you, you need to come by and try this place and give them a review. I honestly cannot believe they only have 43 reviews. They should have 500.

I had the catfish and shrimp and my dude had the wings (sweet heat), both with a side of seasoned fries. The fish was fried and seasoned perfectly and their fries were great! The wings were HUGE and the breading + sauce was a perfect match! For a cocktail I had the "Sinner" and it was refreshing and sweet but still had that back of the tongue gin taste so I loved it! The woman who helped us and brought out our food was super nice and helpful- I wish I would have gotten her name! 20/10 recommend! We will def make the trip back just to come here again!

People were still coming in even close to closing, which is always a good sign for a new spot. We ordered the boiled crawfish (spicy) at $7.99/lb and the fried catfish. The crawfish were big, with claws full of meat. The seasoning hit just right. It had good flavor with a nice kick, but not so spicy that it ruins your palate halfway through. The fried catfish was a large portion, and the batter was on point with being light, soft, and crispy. It flaked apart easily and was super tender. The Comeback Sauce was really good and paired perfectly with the crawfish. Service was friendly and attentive as well. Overall, solid spot. Definitely worth checking out if you're into boils and fried seafood.

We split spicy and mild. I would've did with spicy but the mild was good for me. Finally, don't miss out on the beignet fries!! Super chewy, almost like a funnel cake or mochi texture. It had the right amount of sugar.

I believe they advertise themselves as Vietnamese-style crawfish. I'm used to New Orleans/Louisiana style crawfish, but nonetheless, I was still eager to try. They started selling crawfish at 3 I got in line at 3:25. Line was small but moved veryyyy slowly. I got 2 lbs. ($11/lb pricey !!) of the hot & buttered -spicy, 2 eggs, and a sausage. It took about 45 min. to get my food. The sausage was decent but ultimately, I didn't taste any spice. It wasn't spicy at all. It was easy to peel so that was nice but I could tell the crawfish weren't from Louisiana waters .Idk i didn't like it, that's just me. It was worth a try though. The lines were long and I only see them getting longer as summer approaches. Still check them out, you just may like it!
