    Lines can get long, but very worth the wait.

    I have become somewhat of a regular at La Casita. Hands down, you won't find a better breakfast (or lunch) in the area. Everything -- and I mean everything - is cooked fresh and made to order. My personal favorites are the tortas. My wife and I eat here 4-6 times a week. The number could reach as high as 7 days a week if they were open Sunday's. Two brothers (Marco and Victor) run this restaurant and they both have a passion for quality and delicious taste. My typical order is a breakfast torta with bacon and extra bacon and a fajita torta. My wife and I share both so we get a half of each. Oh my gosh -- the food is so good -- the place never gets old. While it is good to call your order in ahead of time, it's best to eat the food onsite. The meal is hotter, fresher, and tastes even better. That's not to say it won't be good if you take it home. We have about a ten minute drive home -- the food is still hot when we get home. I highly recommend trying this place. You will not be disappointed! 5 stars - and since we go there most days of the week, I would definitely try this place again.

    What a nice surprise. My husband came across some nice reviews of this place - and at first I was skeptical... tacos from a gas station? Ehh... why the hell not! I am so glad we tried it. The tacos are delicious! We ordered the beef fajita, pastor, and chicken tacos and we're extremely impressed. The tacos are $2 each, cooked fresh, and made to order. They are stuffed full if meat - definitely worth the price. I can't wait to try more!

    After a friends recommendation I finally tried lunch here. I got 4 corn tacos- al pastor, fajita, asada, and Barbacoa. Oh my goodness! Reminded me of my younger days when I lived in south Houston and found these delicious taco trucks. The meat all tasted great, not overly greasy and no grizzle. Really tender and full of flavor. They top them with onions and cilantro and give you two salsas - red and green. Both salsas added an additional layer of flavor. He fills the tacos to the top, definitely no skimping on the meat. The staff is friendly and food comes out pretty quick. The store has 3 booths if you want to stay and eat. I got mine to go. I'm excited to return for a torta and breakfast.

    Thanks for the referral Kelley. The best tacos I have had in a long time. I was a little hesitate because it was in a Shell gas station. I had the taco platter. Corn tortillas. One with grilled chicken, barbacoa and pierna de cerdo(roasted pork). The roasted pork was so tender and the barbacoa was the best barbacoa I have tasted. Not fatty meat. Good favor. I was too full to eat the rice and beans. My husband had the carne asada torta. He said it was ok. He said he will try the Cuban torta next time. The Cuban torta is made with the slow cooked pork. Tacos are $2.00 for corn. I like places that serve with two corn tortillas for each taco. That means it won't fall apart when they over stuff it with meat. You just have to get pass the gas station atmosphere.

    Chorizo, egg, and cheese on flour and corn. Preferred flour, corn was store bought.

I thought the enchiladas were solid, though my wife felt like the queso was too thick and that the chips they served with the queso were a little stale. The service was A+, very attentive and hospitable, which counts for a lot in my book. They brought out a huge statue and bass drum for someone's birthday, which we loved and thought was hilarious. Also, the house marg was excellent and I definitely recommend. Overall, a cool vibe in the restaurant and we will definitely come back. We have some friends coming in from out of town and thought that it might be a good spot to introduce them to TexMex. If your go-to is Natalita's or something like that around The Woodlands, I would definitely encourage you to give this place a shot.

To be fair, it is my own fault because I tried El Mariachi a year or two ago and thought it was gross then. However, I know everywhere deserves a second chance so I thought I'd give it another try, especially when I saw it had such a high average rating. Let me first say, service is INCREDIBLE. Truly could not ask for better. The hostess was really sweet and she stayed kind even when I could tell she was overwhelmed by all the people. We had multiple servers come by to check on us at various times and do things for us and they were all great too. Absolutely 0 staff complaints. I ordered a watermelon margarita and couldn't drink it. The syrup was completely separated from the actual drink. I left it completely full and while I didn't want to complain, I was surprised that I wasn't asked if it was okay. Had I been asked, I would've told them. My husband thought his house margarita was good, but he did order it frozen and it was already half liquid by the time he got it. The food was not good. I took one bite of my beef taco and pushed it to the side. It was essentially Taco Bell meat. No shade to Taco Bell, but if I wanted that, I would've just gone to T Bell. It sure would've been a lot cheaper. My cheese enchiladas were also not good. I asked to have sour cream sauce on top & was charged $2 for it. I wasn't told I'd be charged extra and didn't see anywhere on the menu where it said that. Even so, $2 for sauce is crazy, but $2 for sauce when the enchilada ALREADY comes with sauce on top and all you had to do was replace it?? Wild. The queso was okay. Not amazing, not bad. It's the only thing I was able to eat. Not my personal experience, but two tables in our same section had issues with their food too and had to send it back. $85 for that is crazy. I'm glad so many seem to enjoy it, but El Mariachi will never see me again.

TLDR: Thar food, those ritas. This place has become my most recent go-to when that little voice says - "pssst....Dave....Dave....i know you hear me....you want fajitas." Admittedly, I hear that voice a lot. In any case, I usually order the fajitas. They give you a decent quantity that tastes great. The meet is tender and flavorful and those tortillas had me at hello. I love this stuff! My son elects to go for the cheese enchiladas. I don't have to ask him how much he likes them because is a super picky eater and this is the one place where he actually cleans his plate. The margaritas are solid as well and when you glance around the restaurant, you'll see them on most tables. This place is a well oiled machine. There are plenty of staff and they all work unison to bring drinks / chips / salsa / refills / orders / food -- and that food usually comes out before I can feel guilty for eating chips, salsa, and queso. I found this trick that works for me. Since I 100% of the time feel guilty for leaving the place feeling so full, I started parking on the other end of the parking lot. This allows my to burn off 2.7 calories of the food that just ate so I feel 2.7 percent less guilty. On a serious note - this place is the real deal. While some of my previous favorites have either closed down or gone downhill a bit - Julio's has remained strong. ¡Salud!

I gave it a try by getting a mixed plate with different items so I could try a little bit of everything. My dad got the same thing but a this different mixed plate and we agreed to share and taste each others food. The cheese enchiladas were good. They're made with chili gravy. The chicken flauta was good. I wasn't a fan of the beans and rice nor the Chile Relleno. The cheese is just shredded mozzarella basically not the actual cheesy find in a Chile Relleno. The stuffed avocado was too fried for me and way too much cheese. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the restrooms are super clean, which is always a plus for any restaurant. Unfortunately, we had some issues with our server, lots of miscommunication and a huge language barrier. In the end, I'm starting to wonder if he was just new because he didn't even know how to operate his own payment system. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, but I know a lot of people like this food and restaurant based on other ratings so I say try it for yourself.
