    El Salvadorian enchiladas

    Family owned businesses that's clean and affordable. Food was quite Tasty. Friendly service and quick. I'd go back. The meal below was only $11!!

    It's been a few years since we last came and today we finally got the chance to visit Galveston and thought about checking them out again. First of, for a Saturday evening, we were kind of expecting that it will be crowded like it used to. But no, there was one other customer and she had hers to-go.. I thought well maybe this is just a slow night so we went ahead and ask for the menu. A young girl was at the front and she asked if we're new to Henry's and I said no . I asked if there's new ownership and she said no they are the grandkids and the grandma used to run the business. My husband went for the usual tostadas. I noticed they had a new item on the menu that I used to not see before which was the Menudo. And I went ahead and ordered that. The boys ordered a chicken fried steak sandwich and a chicken quesadilla. The tostadas are NOTHING like the pictures I posted originally. Tostadas were smaller, the beef tasted super salty. The rice that came with it barely has any flavor. The refried beans tasted like it just came from a can. The signature white sauce was also nowhere to be found. Husband asked for it and they said they don't have it. As for the menudo, while the meats were just right (not too hard or too tender), the broth is so bland. My hungry boys ate what they had but wasn't too impressed either. With grandma out of the picture, it's evident the quality of the food has also gone out the window. Overall, a HUGE disappointment. It's so bad I don't think we're ever coming back again.

    Migas and a side of carne guisada.

    Huge burritos, great service, delicious food. The surprise burrito is definitely filling. Today I had their migas (~$7) and a side of carne guisada (~$7). The migas were very good but I didn't see an option to add onion, tomatoes, and peppers. So they came plain, I added cheese. I was not disappointed but expected the veggies. No biggie. The carne guisada was a little different than TexMex carne guisada. This was more like a beef stew with carrots and I think yucca (it didn't seem like potato). The meat was extremely tender. It's a great local place and the service is excellent . Can't wait to try more from this place.

    NO STANDARDS

    This is pretty fucked up how the quesadillas were just placed in this small ass container for it to just get saggy and sloppy.

    It's an older establishment - nothing to look at for ambience inside or out. The locals to the area had the place 80% full at lunch hour. Prices were very low .. in the $5 to $10 range. Counter service was excellent. Menu variety was huge - Mexican, American, El Salvadoran. Tostada was large and good. Chorizo with eggs was good. For what it is ... it's successful. Good for them!

    Don't miss out on an amazing local dining experience by passing by Henry's! It may not look like much, as a big orange/yellow drive thru building off Broadway, but holy moly the food is insane! I've never had a bad meal, or bad customer service and I've been dining here for over a decade. My husband has sworn that the burger here is the best he's ever had and has eaten them since he was in college at TAMUG. Todays review is about the burger, el savadorian enchiladas, and the heavenly papusa. Seriously the pork papusa is magical. Hands down the star of the show!!! The street tacos and enchiladas are always good too! All of the employees are so friendly and welcoming with big smiles and southern hospitality.

    Pupusa with pork chicken quesadillas and chips with guacamole

    We just tried this place and it was super delicious, had amazing service and everything was very fresh. Prices for the authentic mom and pop experience are incredible and I will be going back to try the burritos! We got the pupusa with pork and the chicken quesadillas. We also got a side of chips and guac and they gave us chips so hot and fresh that they burned my finger on the drive home!!! Incredible!!! Also the guac serving was huge!! Definitely go here!!!

    The surprise burrito is by far the best deal on the island for a breakfast burrito. Always fresh and always quick.

When they first opened, I was excited to see them get their own space, and my early experiences were great--the service was fast, the food was good, and I was happy to support them. Unfortunately, something seems to have changed. On multiple recent visits for takeout, I've found myself waiting as long as 25 minutes for what should have been a relatively simple order, while customers who ordered after me and were dining in received their food much sooner. Unfortunately, the bigger issue is that when I finally get home, the order has frequently been wrong. I also typically order a chocolate shake with my meal. The shake is usually prepared almost immediately, which sounds great--except that by the time my food is ready, the shake has been sitting long enough to be completely melted. At that point, I usually just take the order and leave because I don't want to make a scene over something that should be easily avoidable. I've also used DoorDash to order from MAC-IES twice, and both times my order was incorrect. I've continued giving MAC-IES chances because I genuinely want to see them succeed. I believe in supporting local businesses, and I'd much rather leave a five-star review than a negative one. But after repeated problems with wait times, order accuracy, and overall consistency, I've reached the point where I have to be honest about my experience. Lesson learned: I'll be spending my money elsewhere. I sincerely hope MAC-IES can get these issues addressed because I'd like to see them succeed. But for me, enough is enough. I won't be returning to the Broadway location.

    Cutting across Texas to New Orleans, I knew we would be skimming the shore of the Gulf of Mexico…read more Shut up. My review, I can call it what I want. That being said, it had been some time since I've gotten some proper fish-n-chips. I had to remedy that. Especially since the BBQ fiasco the other day, I was going to go on a hunger strike, but once I made the sign, I got potato chip fingers on it and started to eat it. So, I decided to fight fire with fire, and figured I would eat myself happy again. Which I'm never mad about. Sometimes I make myself angry just so I can eat myself happy. And now, the rest of the story. I have learned that I enjoy Cod fish for my fish-n-chips. And I think also Haddock. I am not a fisher nor a fish. So it's hard for me to say. But I know Cod is one for sure. I also sometimes have baby mouth and am afraid of new things. I do know I love my fish battered and deep fried. I also know that Shark Shack had good reviews for their fish, so, that was all I needed to hear. Plus, it was a perfect little eatery with bar seating, table seating, and gifts! So you can bet your bottom dollar tomorrow I ordered the English fish-n-chips. Boy oh boy. Just like how Britain colonized all those countries back when it was the cool thing to do, these fish and chips colonized my taste buds. Respectfully. This plate came with FIVE logs of fish. FIVE! Maybe they were tubes of fish? Honestly, I don't care what shape they came in, they looked perfectly crunchy and perfectly brown and perfectly fish. The super cool extra bonus? These fish came with CRISPIES! I've only ever seen crisps with fish from Long John Silvers, whose fish is probably as far from Cod or Haddock as legally possible. I actually think one of my pieces of fish from there had shoelaces. Didn't matter. Still ate it. Respectfully. (If you aren't privileged enough to know what fish crispies are, there little batter pieces that fry or fall off the fish as they cook. Basically little crumblies. If you make a wish over a fork of them and get the forkful in your mouth without dropping any, your wish will come true). Homemade tartar sauce was good, but there was a certain flavor profile that I wasn't a fan of. It was still good to use on the fish rods, it just tasted a little too much out of the tartar sauce field for me. The meal was wrapped up nice and tight with lovely square-cut fries. Perfect doneness. Perfect Ketchup vessel. I could just stare at a pile of them all night. Mostly because I'm weird.

For those seeking a vibrant, tourist-friendly atmosphere, the establishment delivers on its theme. However, the culinary execution leaves room for alignment with the branding. While the pizza was undeniably fresh, ordering Italian fare at an Old West-themed establishment highlights a structural misalignment in the expansive menu. One can only hope that future iterations of the menu might lean into the theme by introducing traditional barbecue or brisket, perhaps served on classic tin platters with all the fixings to truly anchor the frontier experience. Operationally, the service model is highly consistent, delivering a thoroughly average experience from start to finish. Management is notably visible on the floor, maintaining a quiet, non-intrusive oversight, though a brief greeting would go a long way in establishing a feedback loop regarding the kitchen's output. Additionally, while the service staff diligently checks in to ask if "everything is okay," the answer remains precisely that--perfectly, unequivocally okay.Doc Holliday's has built a memorable visual space with immense potential, and with a more focused culinary direction, the food could easily match the high energy of the surroundings.
