Huge tortas, ok service. Casual ambiance. The torta is a bit bland even though it has lots of items in it. The meat doesn't seem to have flavor. The pickled jalapeños are good and crunchy. Not a fan of their salsas. It's a huge sandwich that two can share but it lacks flavor. Small place in a small shopping strip. I would probably come again to try something different but no special trip. read more

The eggs were good. But you all should know better not to use the. STORE BOUGHT corn tortillas.

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!

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. read more

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!

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! read more

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! read more

Nasty. Food has a weird smell to it and tastes bad. Do not recommend. The customer service was good just the food is disappointing.

La Telera - Milanesas???? - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

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! read more

The place is cute and staff is nice here but the torta I had didn't have a lot of great sazón. However the aguas frescas are Deliciosas recommend the agua de sandía . Price wise it's a bit pricey the torta and agua were close to $14 bucks. If the torta had a better taste it would have been ok. read more

I ordered a Jamaica water with my food and it tasted very bad. I told the cashier that i wanted another flavor but they still charged me for both Bad service!

Really enjoy coming to this place. Love the decor of the restaurant and the food is delicious. They have great options for vegetarians.

First time trying this place out, not from here just passing thru I got some tacos & they are amazing!! Funny how on the to go order they don't put it on a plate but with tacos this delicious who needs a plate lol my husband got a torta & it is HUGE ! the horchata is really good as well this would definitely be my to go spot if I were to stay in Huston definitely earned a 5 star rating Update: I tried their agua de limón & it's absolutely delicious! read more

Came here for lunch w/my coworkers & wasn't disappointing. The tortas aren't as large as the ones I've had in Mexico but they were enjoyable nonetheless. I had "La Michoacán" and would definitely recommend over "La Chidita." The food itself took quite a bit of time to come out, about 30 minutes, so we made it back to work about ten minutes late (3 miles). The Horchata was very good, I noticed that quite a few people ordered that so I'm guessing it's a more popular flavor (next time I'll try watermelon). I do want to go back to try their menudo or pozole, I haven't had that here so it judging by the tortas, it might be the real deal. read more

I understand that my personal experience may vary from others. I ordered fries topped with pastor, tacos with out veggies, and a pambazo. My fries came out first then tacos five minutes later. When the lady brought me my tacos they were covered in onions and cilantro. When I reminded her that I did not want veggies they took them back and scraped it off instead of remaking the order again. I noticed that my pambazo still had not came out yet. I approached the cashier to let them know and it turns out that they forgot to make it. One star is being generous because the service was horrible AND I still tipped. The food looked great and delicious but I will not be returning to this restaurant ever. read more

You guys...I just found the formula to happiness. Chorizo + Ham + Mayo + Avacado on a Torta aka the #2 La DF + Horchata = happiness This was happiness on a bun. It was such deliciousness I couldn't put it down. I devoured it after having 4 mini tacos. The tacos aren't bad themselves but the torta definitely outshine them. I had pork, brisket, bistek & onion, and a chorizo & cactus for the tacos. The come as little taquitos on corn tortillas. There's a slight upcharge for flour tortillas. Horchata makes me happy. It tastes just like the milk after you eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch and it washed down my tacos and tortas well. A gem of a find and will be constantly returning to pursue happiness. read more

4 stars ,only tried their tortas ... the pambazo looked good but will have to wait til next time. Not 5 stars cuz they'd have to blow my mind for that read more

Good lunch spot! Good Tortas! La Roma (Grilled Chicken, Cheese, Ham) Torta - 6.75 after tax -For the money, a great Torta. Small, cozy place, had a 32" TV for patrons to watch, would be tough to imagine it's ever changed from a Spanish Station, but Soccer is easy to understand in any language. Nice place. Good, spicy, green salsa. Good selection of Torta varieties. Would visit again if in the area! read more

It is good but they always just include q chipotle sauce instead of adding a green or red sauce they don't even ask if you want the other sauce read more

I will be back. The taquitos (street tacos) are awesome. The Lengua taco was probably the best taco I have tried. Torta that a co-worker had was nice sized and he destroyed it. Green sauce was my favorite. Small place but don't sleep on it, you won't be disappointed. 2 hours later I'm still thinking about it, will have to hit it up for breakfast tacos tomorrow... might be my new go to when I travel to Houston Carne Asada torta was on point. Didn't make it for breakfast, BUT, we hit it up for dinner again the next day. Talked a few peeps into the Lengua. So good. We will be back in town next week, looking forward to it. read more

Torta DF is soo good. Horchata was nice. Place was clean. Service is terrible. They forgot my friends order. Sun aug 14, 06 noon. A table had dishes in it. No one ever claned it. Ladys in the kitchen were loud and arguing. Waitres brought tortas to the table at different times not all at once. Tacos are mediocre. Sudadero is the better choice. One of the best tortas I had in Houston. read more

Reminds me of the Mexican torts my mom makes me with a bit of more umph (more meat because my mom is trying to be healthy). The torta was delicious and they had plenty of green salsa.
