    This is the Mexican Pambaso. It's a huge torta w/ potatoes & Chorizo & the works!
    Jimmy T.

    This hole in the wall is like a blessing from heaven. The pambaso was so tasty & filling. It was huge, but it was so good that I finished the whole thing. This place is epic! If you ever decide to stumble upon this place; it's like a hidden treasure chest full of goodies. The staff & vibes were really epic!!!!

    Se q fue tarde pero gaste no fue regalado

    My first time eating there was amazing I can't say the same this time look what they give me

    Bit on a pebble in my food

    I regret trying this place. I always see this restaurant when I pick up desserts from Sweets By Belen. Decided to give it a try today because I was hungry and pregnant. Ordered the platter and it was just ok. I found a pebble in my food. Not sure how in the world it got in my food. I bit down on it and pulled it out. Definitely lost my appetite. Never returning again.

There's none ANYWHERE, UH If you look online you'll get a 606 ERROR My girl doesn't want your Tex-Mex crap (SPARE HER) Let's all go for dinner at LA TELERA QUE????!?!?!?!!!111 What to get: The Mexican Hot Dog, the DF Torta (or any of them), the Chocoflan, a Guava drink (Guayaba), Tacos, Sopes, or anything you fancy. What not to get: Deported again. First there was the Bronze Era. Then the Iron Era. Then, when Broadway shows began, came the Show Era. (also known as the Shower A, which is what me and my girl do when she's feeling particularly kinky). After the Show Era, came the Tell Era. Which is when we stopped interacting with other humans directly, and started using proxies such as telephones, then cellphones, computers, apps, chat devices, and what not. This place is named after aforementioned "Tell Era." And while the Era has been largely depressing, this place is largely deliciousing. La Telera is unheralded and unrivalled. It is perhaps the best Mexican street food spot I've ever been to. There's a second location way out on Hwy 6 which is also great, but this one is better. Telera is one of the true hidden gems of Houston. Mexican style street food, absolutely delicious. Okay it's not good for you at all. In fact it's incredibly unhealthy. But the Torta DF is wonderful. The tacos are great. And even the - hot dog which is Mexican style - is absolutely delicious. Service is wonderful, especially the two girls that seem to really like me. If you know what I mean. Prices are extremely affordable, and considering it's just next door to Pollo Bravo (Peruvian Chicken), this plaza is absolutely a culinary gem and budget dinner destination. These might be two of the best places you can eat in the whole region. Make sure you give both a try. This is Mexican food that you simply must eat when in Houston. Along with La Bala (Bellaire location) and Tostada Regia (Long Point location), which are two of the best Mexican restaurants in the entire world. Now, since my account keeps having suspicious Log-ins, we'll let "Suspicious Kenny" Loggins finish the review, with his song, "Telera." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nHBBBf6UUs I know something about food It's often really bad If you trust the hipsters on Yelp You'll end up with crap If you want it to be The very best for you Make you want to eat Here's the thing to do Telera! Snacks! You'll never wanna leave here Telera! Snacks is what you're gonna eat here Telera! Telera! Telera! Telera right now!

    La Cubana
    Mario F.

    The place is small and very quaint. I had La Cubana and it had milanesa, salchicha, queso and avocado. The torta is served on a telera as original tortas are served. I had some chipotle and some pickled jalapeños with my torta. The place is very clean and the cashier was very friendly. For all my Gringo friends this would be the original Mexican Hoagie!

    Torta

    Ordené una torta cubana y solo traía una rebana de jamón un pedazo de milanesa y dos salchichas en rebanadas jamás vuelvo a regresar a ese lugar

    Watermelon drink
    Lorena A.

    I ordered 2 gorditas, one of Chicarron Verde, (green pork rinds), their gordita did not contain real "chicharrones" they are your cheap bag chicarron dipped in green sauce which makes the rind soft. Only 1/4 cup of fake chicharron content was in the gordita. The fajita (carne asada) had about 1/3 cup of meat, very very dry and old fajita. Hard to chew, tasted all well with cheese, cream, and lettuce. That's the only reason I gave it a one star. Delicious aguas frescas. Watermelon is the best!

    Milanesas????

    La Milanesa estaba mal cocinada con mal sal sabor y el empanizado estaba crudo o echado a perder.

    This place really gives you a Mexican feel. I love their decor. As for food, its good as well. I'm a small eater, so its hard for me to finish what I've ordered since they've packed it up. Which doesn't mean its bad things. I've tried from they tortas to their pozole. I would pass this food, would recommend to try it.

    Holly H.

    The tortas are the size of a football and amazing! I had the torta with milanesa de pollo, avocado, bean spread, and tomato. My husband had a torta Cubana. We also had a side of fries which was only $2 for a massive serving and it had season salt. Everything was super cheap and really good! I will definitely be going back soon to try the tacos and torta de chilaquiles con pollo!! The salsas were also good. They have the classic creamy green and then they have a chipotle salsa which has a really good flavor. Picosa pero muy sabroso!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it.

Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness.

I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.
