Closet thing to L.A. mexican food I have found here in Texas. I wish they'd open one in Cypress so I don't have to keep driving all the way to Cinco Ranch. Fairfield would be a perfect place in Cypress! Hint hint. love the food here and the prices too! Great prices for great food!! Yum num num. read more

We have been loyal customers for many years, but our recent visit was very disappointing. We ordered several tacos, and each one had barely any meat. The portions have gotten smaller, and the quality seems to have declined. Multiple generations of our family have eaten here over the years, but after this experience, we will no longer be returning. It's unfortunate to see a restaurant we once loved go downhill. read more

This place is really clean which I why I gave a 3 stars . The food is bare minimum. I was very disappointed tbh . The Tuesday deal isn't what's displayed you can only get pork for the special . The chicken crispy tacos were so hard to eat it took a while to finish . No season BUT they had a bar for sauces and onions and all that which made me happy cause I can fix my tacos ups . The bar was star of the show . They had all the sauces , free chips and salsa , pickled carrots (fav) and onions . I love it . Service was good .... Order and sit down . read more

Closest thing to a Southern CA-style taqueria you'll find in Katy, TX. Flavorful street tacos, good salsa (served cold), and fresh escabeche. Drive thru is a plus. read more

I have drove by this place for yrs and decided to grab some breakfast tacos. My wife and I have our usual - frijoles, tocina y queso ( bean bacon and cheese for you gringos). Got home and we enjoyed them, authentic flavor for the beans. I think the tortillas were home made, but if not, they tasted like they were. We now have another taco place to hit up every now and then. read more

Great place for tacos, breakfast.. I especially love their mini fajita tacos, or pastor.. and definitely their chip and salsa bar!

Fast drive is quick and convenient, very kind staff. Decent tacos and a few other great items on the menu. Definitely need to try more.

Ordered their cheese enchilada plate .... What I got was tortillas and cold cheese! Not even melted inside was the same shredded cold cheese. Had to heat up and the flavor was so bland. Best part was the rice and beans. I won't be coming back. read more

I've been looking for a "west coast" style taco shop around Houston for quite awhile and I've stumbled across Los Balito's .... I think I've found the winner!! Only came here for carne asada fries and the California burrito - both satisfied my craving!! Carne asada fries: crispy fries, tender meat, huge portion. Loved it! California Burrito: just as good as the carne asada fries but in burrito format. Huge burrito as well, definitely did not skimp on portion. Will be back to satisfy my cravings! read more

The best freaking tacos on this side of the city!!!! I'm always craving real, good, authentic tacos, and Los Balito's always deliver. I can't speak for anything else on their menu since I've ONLY had breakfast tacos, but I can say they always taste AMAZING! I've only visited in the morning running through the drive thru, so again, I can't speak for the inside, service, or anything else on the menu. I have noticed the wait time can sometimes take up to 10 minutes in the drive-thru, so just be aware it's not as fast as "fast food" if you're on the go! But I can guarantee these breakfast tacos will blow your mind read more

Really good, authentic tacos and burritos. Friendly staff, casual atmosphere, reasonable prices. I liked the tacos al pastor, and the breakfast burrito was good but you gotta add pico and onions and peppers and stuff because its pretty bland as is. read more

Coming from California we have been trying to find some Baja style Mexican food. This place hits the spot! Seasonings and flavors match up perfect to our Southern California taste in Mexican food. We usually get carne asada and their enchiladas. Definitely give them a try! read more

Good food but BEWARE ALWAYS ASK FOR AND CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!! Ever since i been coming to this restaurant i always tell them keep the receipt. The total would always be significantly greater than the menu price but i thought maybe inflation. But yesterday i only ordered nachos and the cashier told me okay $14 and some change is my total. Okay great no problem. i tap my phone to pay and my bank sent me a notification saying it was 20 dollars and some change. Before i can ask her why so much? she closed the drive thru window and never returned. She sent a young man back to hand me my food. So i asked him to give me my receipt and also to tell her to come back to the window to explain what happened. She came back to the window and said it was an error and she will give me back the difference in cash. I checked the receipt and she tipped herself 5 dollars. Check your receipt people. read more

Wow! This has made my day. My husband and I used to live in San Diego and my go to was always a California burrito or Carne Asada fries. We found this place on Google and decided to drive 52 minutes since I've been craving this. The serving size were just as big as what they would serve in California. The fries could easily be shared by 2-3 people. The carne asada was perfectly seasoned and not bland at all. Just the right amount of cheese and guacamole! The fries can be just a tad bit crispier but we're still amazing. The California burrito is heavy and the size of my forearm. It's pretty big but my husband ate it without a problem. We asked for fries instead of regular potatoes and wanted to add guacamole but they didn't give us guacamole or substitute for fries. The burrito was still amazing! Overall, I would recommend this place! It's not your regular TexMex. It's Baja style Mexican food. Hope you enjoy just as much as we did. We will Be returning for sure. read more

Just see the pic. Kinda says it all. Rolling a burrito must be so confusing. Wasn't that good anyway. Oh, we also asked for our coffee cups 4 times and never got them because apparently they refuse to serve you your drink while you're waiting for your food. Definitely never going back. read more

Vine a San Antonio de vacaciones y cuando les digo que Desayune, comí y cené en este sitio no es mentira. El servicio y el trato es increíble, la gente es súper amable y servicial. El ambiente está bastante tranquilo, con buena música y súper limpio. Una de las mejores partes de este increíble restaurante es su "salsa bar" es simplemente DELICIOSO!!!

I've been here twice now. The first time I had taquitos and a torta. Both were really good. I'm a big sandwich person and I really enjoy a good torta. I've gotten a few around town that aren't too great but the carne asada torta is really good. The taquitos were topped with guacamole, cheese, and lettuce. I thought that might make them soggy but to my surprise it did not. I ended up coming back a couple weeks later to get another torta. It's close to my house, inexpensive, and delicious. Oh and one huge plus is there is a drive thru so I don't even have to get out of my car! read more

This is our favorite Mexican place in Katy! We've had a lot of things off the menu since relocating to Houston. This place is on our weekly dinner rotation and even our picky son loves it Chilequiles, breakfast tacos, nachos, quesadillas, etc are all good! Now it's not Cali good. But so far compared to everywhere I've tried in Houston it's our favorite! If you're in the area it's worth a try! read more

Food is great and the prices can't be beat. The chorizo burrito is the best. Breakfast tacos are fresh and delicious

This is my go to drive thru taco shop when I just need a taco to take the edge off. The fish taco is just right, affordable @$3.50 and full of all the flavors. There are lots of other menu items to try that I'm sure will be equally as yummy! read more

Clean and quick, lots of salsas too. Im from San Diego and I was really craving the Mexican food I got back there. This wasn't perfect, but it did satisfy the craving! read more

*Fast service but bland/no flavor *DONT recommend ANY tacos * Yummy horchata, it did take a while for me to get *salsa saved my meal *i would recommend Taco Cabana over this place I ordered the chicken chimichanga was MASSIVE, the meat was def seasoned only with pepper & salt. Came with beans & rice but the rice had no flavor. Ordered tacos, But I'm better off making tacos at home with a lot more seasoning. All the meat for tacos were not good, just no flavor & had lots of fat/nerves on the meat...disappointing. They did give me a refund tho for my crispy tacos. My mom did not like her beef fajita tacos either. fish tacos, more greasy batter than there was fish meat. & the pork taco meat was overcooked. The corn tortillas it was served on were either overcooked or not cooked at all they were a little tough & cold. read more

What amazing breakfast tacos! My husband and I were scouting out a new place for breakfast tacos but since it was New Year's Day, everything was closed. Los Balito's was open and ready for business!

This place is like taco cabana with their salsa bar but way fancier! The food is amazing and the place is always super clean! I've been here at all hours of the day over the past 8 years and the restroom is always super clean smelling like Fabuloso and someone is always either wiping down tables, salsa bar, counter, or mopping the floor. Burritos are amazing and their horchata is awesome! Their taquitos is also very awesome as well as any tacos. Truly a gem in Katy! read more

Food is okay its A little pricey I didn't appreciate the hidden search charge on my credit card you should tell people I would have paid cash and when you do pay with credit card they have a Tips screen through drive-through you can't get out of unless you tip kind of ridiculous for a drive-through read more

Los Balito's has such a down to earth, comfy atmosphere. Really like the authenticity of the foods. Very San Antonio. Super awesome breakfast tacos (better than most places around Cinco Ranch). They also have regular tacos, enchilada plates and others sides. When you go in, you have choice to either order to go or seat yourself at a table and order in. It's a no frills atmosphere. The people who work here are hard working and friendly. All the love goes into preparing the food. You can tell by how wonderfully generous the fillings are and the cost! This place is inexpensive. We had quite a few different tacos. Chorizo and egg, bacon and egg, fish, carnitas, papa ranchero, papa Mexicana, ham & egg. The chorizo and egg & bacon were flavorful. The carnitas was the star of my mouth for sure! So tender and seasoned with perfection. I'm mad that I just didn't order all carnitas tacos. Superb! The fish taco was seasoned well too but a little over cooked. It wasn't a big deal though. They sauce they used in that taco complemented the fish. Yum! Our daughter enjoyed the rolled chicken taquitos. Like what kid wouldn't like taquitos?? The papa ranchero has super crisp potatoes and red tomato sauce. The papa Mexicana had softer potatoes and pico De Gallo. I liked the ranchero slightly more than the Mexicana. Ham and egg was cooked nicely too. In all the breakfast tacos, the egg component was cooked just right. Los Balitos also has a salsa bar for your tacos. Personally, I found the hottest (looked like a Chile de Arbil sauce) to be a medium heat-wise and slightly bitter. There was a bitter component that I found in all the sauces. The hottest as well as the green had complex flavors but I just couldn't get past the bitter notes. The mild was very watery but child friendly. My daughter used a lot of that on her rolled chicken taquitos. M They have a nice assortment of Mexican beverages like Mexican coke, topo Chico and Sidral Mundet Apple soda. Overall, there is something for everyone. The pricing rocks and the servings are generous. read more

The food here is really good. It's hard to get good breakfast tacos in Katy outside of a food truck. Took my kids here, got bean and cheese tacos and a migas plate. Great homemade tortillas and beans. They have many types of fresh salsa. Worth a try. read more

Great tacos and burritos. Chili verde burrito is primo. Service is excellent and drive thru is fast.

Due to this pandemic, I can't fly back to LA for street mini tacos. 1) my company doesn't allow me to travel for personal anymore and 2) I don't even think the big food truck is out there or which days even if I sneak away. For the price, it's not bad for Katy area. Mini tacos are pretty simple and I like it as I can taste all the flavors with the double corn tortillas. Burritos are always wrapped tightly, long, and not in a short ball. So all the goodies in the burrito doesn't fall out as easily. Fish tacos (#8) was also good. The rice was a little watery and the beans are okay. For a late night quick dinner, it's pretty satisfying for how much you pay. There's also outdoor picnic tables by the front. You can order to go and just eat outside if that's what your heart desire. That's always a nice option if mosquitoes aren't out to suck your soul (I'm sorry, I mean your blood). read more
