    Went for breakfast. Waiter was terrible. The prices were outrageous for food that doesn't taste homemade and comes from Sysco. The tortillas aren't handmade. Not a place for people who want authentic Mexican food. Even the refried beans were terrible. My white wife makes better Mexican food than this place. If you want a better breakfast and pancakes then Whataburger is better. Tastes like fast food. And don't get me started on the 4% fee to use your credit card. I deducted it from the tip.

    Alert 4% charge extra on the credit card. It doesn't matter how much you spend. They charge 4% if you eat there this is the second time I tried thinking things are going to change, but there's a new thing now they're charging 4% on the cracker, but I must say that's a little improvement regarding the food. Chicken quesadillas was good beef freezer was OK but too much onions server would not understand what his hot water and cold water so we had that problem three times owner seems to be upset because I told him that we're not spending five dollars inside the gas station but we are spending almost $80. That shouldn't be any credit card fees in the restaurant that would not make the customer come and enjoy the food, but still it's OK for me. It's OK for them.

    This joint has been on my Tex-Mex bucket list for quite a while, if only because of the old-school spaghetti topped with chili. Indeed, Larry's mostly frozen in time, and that's a good thing! The chili was just a really good cumin-laden beefy concoction -- a fine example of what Tex-Mex chili con carne should taste and look like. The spaghetti, however, was among the most over-boiled pasta I've eaten since I was a Boy Scout trying to cook over a big-ass fire. Still, I wanted to say that I had it -- so I made sure that I ordered something that included it: the Special Dinner. This menu item also includes a sampling of several other Tex-Mex staples, which is what I prefer to order on my first visit to such places. Included with this plate is a firm tamale, which is buried beneath the spaghetti con chili. Outstanding. The rice is firm and dry, as it should be; the refried beans are par for the course. The crispy taco reminds of the 'Corpus Christi' version that I was raised on -- just simple fried corn tortillas filled with the traditional ground beef, lettuce and some grated cheese. (I asked them to hold the tomatoes.) The cheese enchilada is far from the best I've eaten, but the salty, gooey filling took me way back in time. Wonderful. The house salsa here is served cold, and it is as simple as it is delicious. Spicy. Smooth. An excellent accoutrement for the warm, crispy tortilla chips. This place is anything but upscale. The Formica table and tritely decorated dining room, however, are very comfortable. And the service, by the way, is equally old-school, which is a relief these days. I'm not sure that I have experienced a Tex-Mex restaurant that reminds me of my childhood as much as Larry's.

    I was working in the area and decided to get a late lunch before heading back to Houston. As I pumped gas across the street, I saw the restaurant with quite a few cars parked in front. I went in and was seated. They gave me chips and salsa. The salsa is mediocre and looks bottled. I inquired about vegetarian items. They only have one, a cheese enchilada topped with Spanish sauce, tostada veracruzana and a bean taco. I ordered it easy on the cheese. When my dish came, it was smothered with lots of yellow cheese. I would have preferred white cheese and less of it. The beans and rice weren't bad. The taco came in a crispy shell and not a soft corn or flour tortilla. I would probably not return.

    Larry's is the best Tex-Mex on the planet. The cheese enchiladas are the real deal. The service, ambiance & all the staff make Larry's a special place to dine.

    Beef and cheese Enchiladas. Legit.

    Larry's been doing it for a long time. Not everyone knows about Larry's. Lot of food for the money. Three Beef Enchiladas for $13 is a good value today. Salsa is not my fav. Typically responsive staff and good service. Old school classic Mexican food that your parents grew up with. I always enjoy lunch or weekends here. The building could use an upgrade but likely why the food cost is a value. I recommend if you like classic (repeat classic) Tex mex!

    Y'all just don't understand unless you've tried it!!! Anytime I'm in Rosenberg. This is a must stop for me. Me and my husband have a coming here for years. Their Fajita is sooooo tender and the cheese sets it off.

    Doesn't look like much when you drive past it, but this place was by far the best authentic mexican restaurant I've dined at. The food was so rich and delicious, full of flavor that just remind you of that home cooked meal. The food was so filling and portioned just right. The salsa they bring you to the table is filled with just enough spice. The service was so good as soon as my cup was about to the the table, the waitress was already asking if I needed a refill. She was eyeing my glass from across the room. The atmosphere reminds me of the childhood I missed out on growing up in Mexico. You could just taste the love in every bite that you take. I definitely will be going back. Don't pass this by, you'll definitely be missing out on a great experience.

    Great service and ambiance The food was delicious but as…read morealways we filled up on the unlimited chips and salsa At the beginning and couldn't finish our entrees

    This review is based solely on an Uber Eats pickup experience…read more I was doing Uber Eats and stopped by to pick up an order. Since it was my first time there, I wasn't familiar with the pickup process. There was a family sitting in the lobby, and when an employee came to the front, he greeted them and asked if they had been helped... meanwhile I was standing right there in front of him. After speaking to them, he put his head down and started looking through something without ever acknowledging me. I waited a moment to see if I'd be acknowledged, but I wasn't. Eventually, I stepped closer and asked where I could pick up the order. He dismissively pointed around the corner. That was issue #1. Issue #2: when I got to the pickup area, employees were moving in and out of the kitchen and walking throughout the restaurant, but no one stopped to acknowledge me. NOT ONE person. I waited another 7 minutes (yes, I timed it) before someone finally asked, "What do you need?" Not, "hi, how can I help you?" But, "what do you need?" As a delivery driver, the expectation is to be able to come in, grab the order, and go. Instead, I felt completely invisible. I won't be returning to this establishment. To management: please train your staff on basic customer service and acknowledgment. A simple "we'll be right with you" would have made a huge difference.
