Very small neighborhood eatery. Waitress was nice and friendly. We ordered the cheeseburger which was good. Fajita plates was good aswell.. now I will say.. don't order the chili cheese fries. They were NOT good. Didn't seem like chili.. even if it was like Hormel.. didn't seem like it! Aside from that we would deff come back as we did enjoy the food and service. read more

Right off of Long point sits this restaurant that obviously has been there forever but I never heard of so I popped on in looking for some good huevos rancheros and gave it a try. Sadly the huevos rancheros were just okay.... The sauce was not spicy enough for me and was way too watery. (Things would have been so much better if they would have just drained off the water from the tomatoes in the ranchero sauce). However, the carne guisado was good and enjoyable and they also did a good job on the papas. When you order tacos you are forced to order two at a time and you can't mix and match.... Which is always a problem for me since I usually like to get a variation and I really wanted to try one of their barbacoa's and one carne guisado. On my next visit, and yes I will be going back, I will just get two tacos and maybe a bowl of their menudo which they serve only on the weekends. Overall an enjoyable experience. I just need to do a little tweaking on my order on the next trip read more

A quiet little diner looking joint. Scuffed floors and Earl Campbell memorabilia. The fajitas enchiladas Verde were beautifully done. Fajitas freshly grilled, good Verde sauce. Even the chili con queso was better than average. read more

I was in the area and needed somewhere to rest for a moment while my wife's car was being worked on. I'm always down to try a New Mexican restaurant and La plaza was in walking distance. The food is good, so is the service and the vibes. I will be back with my wife read more

La Plaza Mexican Restaurant - Cheese Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ate the hamburger special. Wow it was fantastic. It was so hot I almost burned my mouth. For sixty years they've served Spring Branch well.

Here on work, and eaten here twice. The flavors are rich, and bold and never overwhelming (or crazy hot--unless you want it). The salsas, the menudo, the enchiladas are tasty and well done, and the prices are a great bargain. Definitely a must for me when I'm in town for work. read more

If you want homemade food with great taste and flavor, you have to try this place. The prices are very reasonable

this place has been here since 1964 .... I have lived here in Spring Branch since 1955 ..... 3 beef enchiladas.. rice and beans $10.25 .... food was bland . No spice what so ever ...... I guess perfect .... if you have sensitive stomach. this place is more of a breakfast and lunch place than dinner ...... read more

It's a nice and cozy little spot kind of gives me that diner feel. I had a breakfast plate that hit the spot it was good but not backflip good. It would have been a lot better with handmade tortillas which is my yay or nay. But overall it was good and I would go back and I would recommend . Also can't forget the Friendly staff read more

Bad food bad customer service. Told them 3+ times I do not eat meat and wanted something without beef in it. And I got the food 30+ min later cold and with meat all mixed in to the point I couldn't eat it. Like why? read more

This is classic Tex Mex and I love eating here. It does trouble me that the TV is often tuned to Fox News. I'd think a Hispanic restaurant with Hispanic employees would be especially sensitive to the awful things that Fox News commentators say on a regular basis. That has always bothered me about eating here. read more

Always great food. Covid has changed the number of selections on the menu. There akso use to be complementary queso dip along with the chips and salsa. read more

Raza el lugar está bajo de más o menos +-.... No es comida auténtica es mas comida de gabachos. El huevo no tiene sabor y tampoco la salsa. Pedimos chips con salsa y la salsa estaba bien fría. Mejor cáiganle a tostada regia raza neta! read more

Never disappoints! I have been coming here literally my entire life. This is not even a biased review. They are simply the best in service, price, atmosphere, and quality. read more

I grew up in this area and have always enjoyed my visit here. The enchilada plate is my favorite. The rice and beans are the closest to my mom's and that's what keeps me coming back. The place is a small diner type setting and hasn't changed since I've been going. I've kept the tradition going with my kids and they love this place. I've moved farther away from this area but always make a drive out to come here. read more

La Plaza Mexican Restaurant - The famous enchilada plate. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

We have eaten everything on the menu and it is all good to great. Long time neighborhood fixture and they have endured the pandemic with grace and charm. They started coping with curbside pick up. Now they have Togo menus, Stay Safe distancing between tables inside and sidewalk tables out front under a canopy. I hope Spring Branch can keep supporting this place well enough to keep them going for decades to come. read more

We get to go food from here pretty often and it's always yummy. Reminds me of tex-mex from the valley and Corpus Christi. The carne guisada is especially good. The staff is great! I have a newborn and had to bring him once and one of the girls who cooks but also helps wait tables took time out to carry my food out to my car! It's the small things that local restaurants do that make them even more special. read more

Love this little mom and pop restaurant! Always consistent with the food. I get fajita tacos plate or enchiladas. Both are amazing !

Small restaurant BUT food is tasty n good service. Reminds me of a Waffle House but Mexican style and of course way smaller but definitely recommend ! read more

Is this joint Mexican or American? With University of Texas memorabilia hanging alongside pictures of Pancho Villa, it's kind of hard to tell which cuisine I will be eating this indistinct morning. Only by recollecting childhood memories travelling the Southwestern United States, was I able to grasp the restaurants food offerings. When travelling to Albuquerque, Amarillo, or Denver restaurants serving Mexican & American foods to road-weary travellers are quite common. These restaurants tend to be diners, located at gas stations, fusing classic American dishes with local Mexican cooking. Green-Chile burritos, nachos, and omelets are staples. In Spring Branch, Texas La Plaza is a common Mexican-American restaurant. With my mind now at peace, I order the Omelet Plate - Omelet, side of potatoes, and 2 slices of toast ($5.99) with a Coffee ($1.89) from an older petite waitress. After a few minutes, a rude heavyset waitress brings me the coffee, complimentary chips, and salsa then proceeds to chat with other patrons about her hair. The watery salsa does not save the stale chips. Looking around this place requires significant renovation, possibly demolition. According to sign on the wall the restaurant has been open since the mid-sixties; it looks every day its age. The walls are dingy, the ceiling tiles are yellow and the tables are a mix-n-match set. Not one to shy away from a "greasy spoon" my only complaint is the ceiling fan. For the life of me, I could not understand why the blades are missing. Fifteen minutes later, the older waitress serves a oil-soaked pancake-style omelet. No problem figuring the potatoes would soak up the grease. Big problem, the potatoes are diced so small each scoop with the fork feels like eating chick-peas. Keeping true to its American roots, no tortillas, instead the plate comes with toast. Guess what? The packaged jelly does not save the stale toast. I don't even bother finishing, getting up to pay. With all the employees in the back out of sight, there is nobody to charge for the meal as I stand at the register. The urge to walk-out without paying did come to mind but I patiently wait until the rude heavyset waitress who is not at all happy comes out of her cave to collect the money. I pay promising never to return. I truly wanted to like this place because it fit the bill for everything I look at for eating breakfast. The neighborhood, the street, the location were all on target. Yet it failed on so many basic levels, I felt dismayed driving away. La Plaza Mexican Restaurant needs an identity, a theme, something that ties the place together where new visitors might better understand it. At a bare minimum please do not serve stale chips and toast. If nothing else, provide friendlier service, sometimes this is all it takes. read more
