    Sandillada
    Esosa A.

    This place ALWAYS delivers. I'm so mad I've never had the Sandillada before because it was so much fun! It's topped off with a sour belt of candy, a chamoy straw, and frozen chunks of watermelon. I don't know where this was during the summer, but it'll definitely get me through next year! The quesadilla with Hot Cheetos was meaty and cheesy with a satisfying crunch, exactly what I wanted it to be. The tacos can be very onion forward, so if that's not something you enjoy, there's more than enough on the menu to catch your fancy.

    Was craving birria ramen and didn't want to drive to the Heights or Stafford to the other place. Luckily, Yelp helped me out as usual! This place is off the beaten path for sure and located in a small shopping center with an eclectic mix of shops. Plenty of seating inside, seems clean. Only note is that it's at least 80 degrees inside with no fans or a/c. I was fine but it may not be comfortable for others. At 7 pm on a weekday, it was not busy at all. A couple families came in for take out and ice cream. Service was 5/5 - a very nice lady sat us and took our order. She speaks English but our convo was half Spanish and half English. I was thankful for my high school classes. It took about 15 min for food to come out, which is more than reasonable when food is being made to order. Food and price were all 5/5. - Agua fresca - melon and pineapple: Both were very fresh but I liked the pineapple more. The melon was a bit heavy for my preference. Large size comes out in a giant cup. - Cheesy birria tacos: Comes in a set of 4. Smaller than some other places, but more than enough for a meal. Cheese perfectly melted and shell nice and crisp. Comes out piping hot and fresh with a container of consommé and some very green sauce. Alone, the consommé tasted salty, but for dipping tacos it was perfect. Meat was tender and flavorful - overall very good! - Birria ramen: This was perfect and hit the spot. It was served in an instant ramen bowl with the broth and birria meat added. The broth was savory and the noodles soft the way I like them. There's an option to add two cheesy birria tacos for an extra $2-$2.50, but I passed since we already had the order of 4. This came out soooo hot and stayed that way for 20+ min. It was fantastic. The broth was so good - it's different than the consommé. I couldn't finish so took it home. The lady saw us walking out with the ramen bowl and stopped us on the way out to dump it in a to go container for us. So sweet! -Gordita birria: Maybe we don't know what a real Gordita is as we're only familiar with the fast food one, but this was not what we expected. It was very good, but had no idea how best to eat/tackle it. It was birria, fresh lettuce, sour cream, queso fresca sitting between two fried tortillas. It was super messy to eat, especially after we drizzled the consommé on it. ~$40 before tip, so pretty reasonable for two people. Drinks alone were ~$9-10 but that's less than you would pay at most tea shops. Great place to satisfy a birria craving!

    Good used to be amazing! I have never been in person but always ordered on uber eats and it was amazing! Always got the burrito pizza till one day I ordered and they just didn't deliver it. Made me change the order. What I got costed more but I still was okay. It wasn't as good but I was just gonna go back for the birria pizza another day. Now I look and they don't even have it on the menu OR the taco platter they advertise and whenever you call they NEVER answer. Big let down. Then we ordered the Munchie box that comes with like 8 items and they sent us 4 tacos . Yall stay away they scam!!!!

    5/5 for service and location Came to check them out for dinner. Staff was super friendly and patient. Even offered us ice cream samples while we waited which was very kind. Interior is spacious for sit in dining and they have a variety of items on their menu ranging from tacos to birria pizza. A neat little spot to grab dessert as well. Birria Cheesy Tacos 3/5 I thought this dish was okay. Not as much flavor as I was hoping but it definitely served me well for dinner. Green salsa was a super green color which i thought was quite unique, but the taste was yum with a nice punch. I wish the corn tortillas held their shape a little better too. Beef Fajita Nachos 3.5/5 you can get these with nacho chips or tortilla chips. Covered with plenty of cheese, but not as much fajita as my bf would have liked. Pineapple Aguas Frescas - 4/5 super refreshing! I would have it again for sure! Cucumber Lime Aguas Fresca - 3.5/5 a little watered down and not as flavorful compared to other ones we've had. Would like to see it have more of a cucumber flavor

    If I could vote this place 10 stars I would. I just found out of this place about a week and a half ago & I'm already in love with how AMAZING the food is here on top of the wonderful service. Family owned & everybody is very welcoming & attentive! The food hits every bite, I literally came here 3 days in a row. That's how good it is. If you love Birria & great authentic Mexican food. THIS. IS. YOUR. SPOT!! Support the business, you won't regret it !

    The food is good, but their pricing is jacked up. I went up to ask and was told it was the price when the menu said otherwise... don't think I'll come back... picking a price and not using menu prices seems kinda foul.

    The place is cool service is always cool and nice. Been coming here for years now I like the food. They serve good portions.

    This place is really interesting. They literally have everything from tacos to ice cream to chicken alfredo and salads. Since this was my first time coming here I wanted to try the birria and it was delicious! The plate of birria tacos is $12.95 and comes with 5 cheesy tacos, consome, salsa verde, cilantro & onion, limes, radishes, and cucumber. I didn't try the ice cream, but it looked delicious. They have such a wide variety of dishes I wanted to try and will definitely be back to try more.

    First time! Been seeing them on Instagram a lot so I decided to try them with my bros. We tried the Birrias. I've been looking for the best one in Houston and have been trying different ones from different places. So far, this one falls on 3rd place. The birria tacos and quesadilla was great but the soup lacked in flavor. It needs more flavor to taste it when you deep the food in. That's the highlight. The aguas was good-a bit too sweet but was ok. I remember the place was a bit gloomy. They have a cute wall art and their food presentation is A! So hopefully they put more lights to make the place brighter. It will help in showing off the store more on social media. People love taking food pictures especially in good lighting.

    Birria tacos. Come to mama!!!

Inside it is a one room eatery with counter service. My first visit was to try the Birria Burrito for $16 with the meal delivered about 10 minutes later. It consisted of their Birria meat cooked for 4 hours mixed with chorizo, cheese, rice, beans and sour cream all wrapped in a large flour tortilla seasoned with their special red colored seasoning. With the meal came a cup of consomne'. Guy Fieri would say, Welcome to Flavortown! It was delicious. The Birria beef was so tender and the flavored flour tortilla with that proprietary red seasoning they use was perfect. It was a very filling meal and well worth the price. So much so, I thought about it the next day. Another visit was to try one of their specialities, the Quesabirria for $14. This meal consisted of 3 grilled and crispy corn tortillas seasoned again with their special red colored magic dust. The tortillas had the delicious Birria meat and cheese inside and I again loved them. The tortillas are only slightly crispy and the meat, cheese and tortillas memorable. This meal also came with a cup of consommé for dipping. Another nice thing about eating here is the customer service. The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The guy bussing the tables acted more like the owner than an employee with his helpfulness and the actual manager came out to check on us. Impressive for a counter service restaurant. Tacos Dona Lena deserves its reputation as one of the best restaurants of its kind. Incredible food and employees all at very reasonable prices. When I think of tacos and burritos, this place is what comes to mind!

Since it was my first time here, I ended up ordering 1 chorizo and 1 asada taco, churros, limon aguas, and my friend got the asada taco as well and a hortchata! Since it was super busy (especially on saturday night) it was about a 30 minute wait foe our food but it was well worth it! They hand out free chicharrones and they were super crunchy and a nice snack while we waited for our food. The limon aguas was super refreshing especially in the summer heat and the horchata was really good! We sat at the counter top that overlooks the kitchen. I love that the open kitchen concept so you can see them making your food right in front of you! Everything smelled so good so I was excited for my food. I love that they give radishes, cucumbers, and plenty of limes on the side. I definitely love all of the toppings and the more the better! I tried all of the salsas and the salsa de chile de arbol was by far my favorite! super spicy but had so much flavor. The chorizo was good but a little dry for my liking. I did just want to try it so I can try more than one flavor but I think I would get it again as a breakfast taco with egg instead. The asada was my favorite of the two so much flavor and plenty of meat! I was content with these 2 tacos but I could have definitely eaten more if we didn't order churros as well! The churros came with classic condensed milk and dulce de leche which is just carmelized condensed milk. The churros were crunchy and warm on the outside and had a chewy texture like mochi on the inside! Super yummy and not too sweet! I liked both sauces and would definitely get this again. Overall, I had a great experience and I will be craving the tacos until the next time I can come back! I can't wait to try a lot of their other menu items as well. Definitely recommend!

I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite.

Everything is pretty much green and white. There's covered patio seating. You order from a window and there's a large menu printed nearby The menu offers all sorts of tacos, meats, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, quesabirras, sides, and even kids meals. You can get beer, margaritas, and non-alcoholic drinks. There's also a breakfast menu The food was good, and it didn't take too long to come out. My main issue was the service. The individual taking orders seemed to have a bit of an attitude and just seemed "over it." Furthermore, we mentioned having a queso coupon and when we were given the total I placed my card on the reader and I was told that I did it too fast and the queso wasn't taken off. The odd thing was, we walked away and realized that they didn't add the queso and the coupon was for free queso so they could have just rung up an additional queso. This individual had the vibe of eye rolling everything, and it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth Some tips: You can order online to avoid any wait. Just go up to the pick-up window when it's supposed to be ready for a painless interaction There's a little bar area where you can get pre-packaged (to-go) salsas, pickled onions, limes, etc etc etc. the salsas are tomatillo, habanero, and jalapeño (I believe) You can order margaritas to go, which we did! Cheers!!
