    **Sandwich & Tender
    Lauren N.

    Sandwich & Tenders - One of the best hot chicken sandwiches I've had in Houston! Perfectly crispy with amazing flavor, but I personally preferred the tenders. They were even juicier. The sauce was light but flavorful. 9.5/10 Fries - A must-try! Super crispy, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. 10/10 Service - Friendly and helpful staff. 10/10

    Location is easy to find with plentiful parking in the shopping center. The service was great. You order cafeteria style and they'll call you up when it is ready. They also have a bar area which is nice. The food tasted great. I got a chicken sandwich meal and tenders. Spice level for hot was perfect for me.

    Again, another great meal for the wife and I. Sat outside as it is a beautiful day. After seeing the size of the chicken tender, we split the 3-pc tenders and fries. We each ate one tender (about a half or a chicken breast? And took the other one home. Perfect meal for us.

    Got the salad with hot chicken and WOW... I wasn't expecting a salad to hit like that. The chicken was crispy, spicy, and full of flavor, and the salad was actually fresh and satisfying. A whole meal, not just a "salad.

    Classic chicken sandwich with iconic house sauce!!!

    If you love bold flavors and heat, Houston Hot Chicken is the spot. Their Nashville-style hot chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and comes in heat levels from mild to Houston we have a problem. The spice isn't just heat--it's full of smoky, garlicky, tangy flavor that builds with every bite. The sides are just as satisfying--creamy mac and cheese and savory collard greens pair perfectly with the fiery chicken. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it perfect for a quick, flavorful meal with friends. Bottom line: Houston Hot Chicken delivers on spice, flavor, and crunch. A must-try for anyone who can handle the heat!

    Me and my hubby love this place. We share a meal each time and it is always the right amount of food. The chicken is awesome! We have been 3 or 4 times already and plan to return several more times. Bar service is lacking so that the reason for the 4 stars and not 5.

    4.5 2nd time here! Loved it so much the 1st time I came back 2 days later. Service was fantastic once again. Decided to try out something different this time. I got the waffle milkshake (5 stars), fries, and honey butter tenders. Tenders were juicy BUT the honey butter lacks flavor unfortunately. It barely came through. My sister got lemon pepper and I wish I would've ordered that flavor instead. That being said, I'll be back anyways and will either order lemon pepper or mild. Place was clean as usual, music at a good volume, and service was quick and it was nice that the staff checks on us every now and then.

    **Three Tenders & Fries
    Steph W.

    Stumbled upon here as we were deciding where to eat. Great chicken store with extremely spicy levels. I got 3 chicken tenders and you can customize spicy levels, decided to try lift off for one of them. Booooooyyyy was it spicy but amazing. If you can tolerate good spicy food, you have to try them. Maybe will try the Houston level next time. Fries were ok, came with a sauce. They also served drinks aka full bar. Clean and tidy. It is $$$ for chicken, but better than many other chicken stores. Will be back!

    Best fast food hot chicken ever! The service was helpful and quick while providing high quality good sizes chicken tenders. Not only does it have heat but the ambiance was also just as stylish brining in amazing vibes with the great services!

    The temperature isn't the only HOT thing in Houston!! Stopped in to pick up some tortilla soup to go! Spice level "Houston, we got a problem" makes you sweat, but I love it! The spicier, the better! It's the best $5 you'll ever spend. The location is bright, clean, with modern decor, and spacious. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and patient.

    Chicken tortilla soup with spicy spice level
    Sharon T.

    The chicken tortilla soup is my absolute fav and it did not disappoint. I got the spicy spice level and it's just the right amount of kick. The customer service is A-1.

    Nicki M.

    Yes, yes, YES!! Every time it's amazing! I highly recommend the classic chicken sandwich with buffalo as the flavor sauce. The bun is perfect, the coleslaw adds a nice cool crunch, the pickles are crisp and delicious, the house sauce adds an extra layer of flavor, and the chicken that is moist and tender...so much yumminess! Have about 10 napkins on hand too! Besides the food, it has a nice vibe. Trendy bar scene or casual outside dining or even chill inside with friends- options! Enjoy this place- it's definitely my new favorite!

    2 Tender Meal & Southwest Salad

    We had the 2 chicken tender meal with fries & the mango salad & both were delicious! It came out hot, crispy & tender with loads of flavor. Great value for the portions.

    This is the best non-food truck chicken sandwich in Houston. Mac & cheese is good. The shakes are even better. Can't go around here.

    The portions were pretty good. I will say it's kind of pricey, but everything in La Centera is pricey

    We ate here on a Wednesday night, so service was speedy. Ambience is outdoor/indoor cafe style, and…read moreanytime it's not Friday or Saturday night the mood is relaxed. I'm not much of a seafood person, but my wife is. Thankfully they had a burger on the menu! Double smash burger and fries for me, Serafin's fish tacos for her. The burger was good, I liked the fact that the smashed patties weren't smashed too thin. So often all I get is meat crust, these had body as well. The burger and fries were great, but when I saw and tasted the fish tacos I immediately knew I'd be getting them next time. I only got a bite, but it was yummy with the sauce.

    The food was pretty good. The service was friendly, but not outstanding. The prices are reasonable…read more There are some nice tables under a covered patio overlooking the LaCenterra green space. I would come back here, especially with friends or family who like oysters or fresh fish dishes. The prices are reasonable. I stopped by on a late Saturday afternoon. They were not busy. Four or five other tables were occupied. Here's the thing...if a customer orders a soup/bisque and a half-dozen buttery grilled oysters-- they should be offered some bread or crackers. I shouldn't have to ask for some borderline stale saltines. And...once my plates and beverage have been cleared, I shouldn't have to wait 10 minutes for the server to come back and ask if I'm ready for the check!?!?! Yes! What else are we doing!?! Then I had to stop the server from immediately running off once she dropped the check! Just rubbed me the wrong way.
