Their service is responsive and always graciously refill the chips and drinks. We've never had to wait long for our food either. Also ask for fresh tortillas as they're always making them. They're worth it. The atmosphere is lovely without being overly loud. I'd always recommend this place to people asking where to eat if they're coming out of town.

Even though it was not packed, it was still lively and the portion size was perfect for 1. It is a great place to go on a random night, catch up with friends, or if you want to get away from the overcrowded Houston Restuarants that are more about looks than flavor. Blackberry Mojito: 10/10.. Perfectly balanced.. it is mixed well and is sweet enough Lime Beef Fajita: 8/10... The meat was perfectly tinder and had the right hint of lime. I did have to add salt to it.

There is Loteria nights and they announce this on their social media. All the staff are super friendly and attentive. If you need help anyone will help you. Restaurant is spacious indoor and also has a huge outdoor covered patio with fans and also an open patio. For their events I have been to Loteria nights and they give out prizes, it's fun while you grab a bite or a drink. They also have events where they bring in tequila brands and you can do free tastings of tequila! You meet the tequila brands ambassadors and learn about their brand. A great fun time during the week. A perfect spot for weekend drinks and Tex Mex food. My family and I love this spot and if you haven't been definitely stop by.

We did have to ask for a bit of cleanup around our table from the previous guests, but considering how busy the restaurant was, it wasn't a major issue and was taken care of promptly. The food was very good and lived up to expectations. My only disappointment was the Bloody Maria, which wasn't seasoned properly and lacked the balance and depth of flavour I was hoping for. Overall, a fun, energetic spot serving very good food, with just a few minor details keeping it from being an exceptional experience. Saluti.

No other French toast will come close. Their homemade sauces make more tantalizing. If you like salty spicy, get the jojo sauce.

The steak tasted like a higher-quality cut than what you typically get at most spots. It is a bit more expensive than what I'm used to paying for Tex-Mex, but the quality and generous portions help justify the price.

Neither one of us had eaten and we were both starving. We had decided that when I was released we would just go to the restaurant that was in the same parking lot as the facility. I had been to the restaurant before, had fajitas and they were served bloody raw and was just disgusting so I Never went back. We mentioned where we were planning to go to some of the staff members and they said do not go there and that it was too expensive for the type of Mexican food that they serve you. Then they all suggested Maria Rita's. My wife and I had never heard of it before so we asked where it was and it was located 2min down the street. When we got there it was packed, but we decided to thug it out and wait for a table, this also gave us time to troll the parking lot and land a killer parking spot as people left. We finally got the notice that our table was ready. The inside was clean, awesome and had a savory aroma mixed with a Smokey grill Oder that just made us even more hungry than we already were. We both ordered this dish that came with fajitas and bacon wrapped shrimp with a cheese sauce that was Truly Amazing! When I finally was able to take a bite of one of the four gigantic shrimp after I completely destroyed my fajitas, I thought that I was going to pass out from the ecstasy that the flavor profile from that shrimp that overwhelmed my senses! We both enjoyed our meal,(obviously) and I can't end this review without mentioning how attentive, nice and unexpected table side manor that the staff had displayed despite being overwhelmed with a full house crowd. A truly epic experience. Please dig deep for a tip, they deserve it. Enjoy!!

The tres leches was lovely as well and I could only eat half as I was very full by then. It was soft and so milky, just the way I like it. Our servers were very prompt, kind, and thoughtful throughout the meal. I've been here once before for happy hour and had a similar experience with the excellent staff.
