    3 small beef fajita

    I won't go back to this place anymore. I ordered and spent close to $100.00, including a $5.00 tip. I was disappointed when I got home. I ordered 2 combo fajitas. One is chicken and the other beef along with shrimp. It has only 3 big shrimp and 3 small pieces of meat. It has a size of 2 1/2 inches and not even thick meat. They are very stingy on portions of the food and at almost the same price as another Mexican restaurant and nachos don't have tomatoes, sour cream and other toppings, only melted cheese and very little ground beef. I should went to Gringo's, Alicia's, Viva Mariscos or other Mexican restaurants instead. It gives more food than the money I paid. I went to this place because of the good reviews, and not too far from where I live, I am not coming back.

    Isela was able to make it right. I appreciate the business fixing the mistake. I understand there was technical difficulties with the inkind menu which they didn't offer any birria

    Combo plate, beef fajita tacos and queso

    Went in on Saturday and enjoyed a great meal, we had the combo plate and and beef fajita tacos, all good. The queso was the best we've had in awhile. The service was really friendly and they were on top of everything.

    Tried this place today for lunch. It's newly opened and getting a fresh start. The food, the drinks and the service were all great. I recommend this place and will definitely come back again. Probably try the evening meal next time. We got the Raulito's Special, Chili Rellano w/cheese, Tamale and House Margaritas. Jesus was our waiter and did a great job. He was attentive to take care of us but not overbearing and provided us our space as we enjoyed our meal.

    Fast service and delicious drinks. The margarita flight was my favorite. Their cheese is the best I've tried.

    Great service and good food. Their margarita flight was my favorite. They have the best cheese in town too.

    The fajita meat is by far the best I've ever had.

Enjoyed the margaritas and excellent customer service from Katie. She expertly managed multiple tables, including an 8 top with ease and a smile. The restaurant was pretty busy since it was graduation week. I ordered the ground beef soft tacos with a side of black beans. My friends had the Marisco Bowl and a platter. Management was helping out and delivered our food. All the food items were hot and plentiful. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Multiple members of management stopped by to check and see how we were doing and to chat briefly to make sure we were having a good experience.

    Great service. A little too fast today, actually. We visited this location fairly frequently. Every…read morethird visit or so the food is simply not good. Our fajita meat today was old, and smelled off. We requested medium but it came beyond gray, and zero char- it was sweaty. This showed up within four minutes. The rice was dried out. The beans were, too. As I said- two thirds of the time is great. Sometimes bad visits happen. Then comes the annoying dance: I do *not* want a manager. I sure didn't need an argument (!) from the server about cooking theory. Not looking for free food. We were very hungry and now have to go find another restaurant. We paid and we left. All done. No desire to keep playing roulette with which experience we can expect, and the server pushback was the kicker. You'll be fine without us.

    So I sat at the bar, popping in for a margarita after shopping. Wow I've only been to the Sugarland…read moreLupe Tortilla & who knew the atmosphere & menu would be so different! This spot is much smaller & broken up into rooms/sections. I didnt even look at the menu & I progressed to order my standard Black barrel margarita that I always order at my Sugarland Lupe Tortilla & they informed me they dont have it. They told me if I didnt want a frozen margarita which they had in the machines I needed to order the Margarita's that were on the menu. The bartender was friendly but the overall experience... the vibe & premium drink options were just off putting for me. My conclusion is that I will stick to my Sugarland location because all Lupe Tortillas are not created equal.

    I must be the last person in Katy , Texas to dined here. In point of fact, it may have been here…read morelonger than half the subdivisions, but with good reason. The food, the ambience, and the service are all outstanding. We went for Cinco de Mayo and the restaurant was packed however, from what I understand, it is often packed. Let's start with our server who was just wonderful. He not only guided us through the meal and the drinks, but he had very practical recommendations. His service was timely, and his friendliness was wonderful. We have the fajitas which were not only an apple serving, but the beef chicken and shrimp were all very flavorful. Typical to fajitas it came with enough accompaniments to really really make Forray a wonderful meal. The serving is so ample that it became a takeout meal as well. The ambience is typical of Mexican restaurants. However, the people who we were dining with in the same small dining room were incredibly friendly and old-time customers of the Restaurant. I can't tell you how many years. But given the food and service, I understand why. I'm guessing because it was Cinco de Mayo. There was also a mariachi band and they were just wonderful and added to the venue considerably. If you're in or around Katie Texas, you really do need to stop here.

We love the thicker chips they have, as well as their salsa, and the kids devour them by the basketful. I've tried different dishes each time I've come here and have liked them all. The kids meals, if you get the tacos and nachos, come in a cool plated presentation, but, alas, my kids do not eat those and have not gotten to see th dinos in person. The kids meals also come with ice cream and sprinkles, so the kids love it, and we get to enjoy some running around outside in the green space. There are lots of different types of seating areas inside and outside the restaurant. The bathrooms were bright and clean.

Love the music ... Okay food: The free tortilla chips were okay , a bit hard but the salsa was great . I got the lunch special 11-4pm pick 2 and comes with sides !! Mexican rice was goooood! Beans were goood! Beef enchiladas lol my first time and it was good but I wouldn't get it again lol just not my go to . The flauta was okay as well ! Chicken wasn't seasoned so it just tasted like shell and chicken. Overly about 6.5/10 . Due to lack of flavor ! Customer service was great ! I will consider coming back for drinks or try the fajitas and margaritas!!

Inside it is spacious and has some colorful and lively decor. Great for groups or solo at the bar. Service: 5/5 The hostess was friendly and immediately directed me to my friend's table. Once seated, the waiter was very attentive and accommodating in checking in on us and getting our orders going. Food: 5/5 We ordered the beef and chicken fajitas to share. The beef fajitas were flavorful just as I'd hoped but the chicken was a bit dry. With the order we each get our own plate of rice and beans and choice of tortillas. The flour tortillas were delicious, almost like home made, so much so that I took the leftovers tortillas home to enjoy with butter. The highlight for me was the Skinny Margarita with my customization of adding a shot of Amaretto. I've been disappointed at other places because they never taste fresh, or have an extremely tart flavor, but the bartender had it down to a science because when I tell you from my first sip it was like heaven! Fresh, not too sweet and I only had one and was tipsy, I wasn't the only one. My two friends got the same one and agreed it was delicious and they too were tipsy. And you get your money's worth. I don't live in this area, but for this margarita, I may have to visit again soon. I'm thirsty thinking about it as I'm writing this and likely still thinking about it while you're reading this. I didn't get as many photos as I usually do, apologies, but I did get the Skinny margarita. Overall it was a good time, with good food and good drinks.

Between Saturday and Sunday, the only meal I had was Neca's nachos. I had to go to urgent care, where I was put on an IV and given medication to treat what was diagnosed as food poisoning. In addition to the above facts, my toddler ate a bit off my plate Saturday/Sunday and exhibited symptoms similar to mine. On Monday, June 30th at 9:04am, I called to share my experience with the staff. To be clear, my intention in calling was not to leave a negative review, but simply to bring the matter to the restaurant's attention - privately. Unfortunately, the owner, Albert, was defensive throughout the call. He said things like, "I don't doubt that happened, but we've never had a complaint," and dismissed my experience rather than showing concern. I explained I wasn't calling to leave a bad review but to make them aware. But alas, here we are. If you're looking for a place with good food and quality customer service, I suggest you look elsewhere. But if you're fine risking your health and dealing with defensive owners, Neca's may be the place for you.
