If you're looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant in Houston, this is the place! It's in a super small complex of businesses but has so much potential. This place is beautifully decorated with Hispanic history, culture and memorabilia. The service was fantastic and had that great southern hospitality. Fish was 10/10! Would definitely go back. read more

I was in the area and wanted Mexican food. I did not want the 'Houston Standard' also known as Pappasito's. I found I wasn't far from this restaurant. It's a family-owned restaurant and you are treated like family when you walk I. There was a large grounds crew eating lunch when I arrived, so I knew the good had to be good. The chips and salsa were good (make sure to ask for the verde also because they only usually bring rojo sauce), but after speaking with the owner, I learned the food is from the 'Puebla region' of Mexico so a little different from our standard TexMex--just what I was looking for! I ordered the beef enchiladas and they came with this diabolical looking red sauce and were baked with a sort of different white cheese (not as runny and greasy as you'd normally see). Lucky for me, the sauce wasn't nearly as spicy as it looked (a little ... sweet even) and I enjoyed them. The enchiladas were fresh and the meat was seasoned well. On top were three rings of raw onions. I thought that was an odd combination, but I tried it and it ... worked. The rice was good and so were the refried beans. I had a huge Jamaica to wash it down If in the area again, I would go back. Super nice and good food. read more

If you can't eat meat on Friday's or if you're craving enchiladas, then come check this place out. This place is a mom and pop place, not to be confused with Los Cucos. Don't let the exterior scare you away. Their restaurant is in a small shopping area and features the best cheese enchiladas in town bar none. Old phrase (look it up kids). If you can name a place that's better, please share. I mean, look at that cheesy goodness. The portions are big and is a great bang for the buck. The refried beans have a smokey flavor and are well blended, while the rice is light and fluffy. Everything is delicious. You really can't go wrong. If you are on this side of town, it's a must try. read more

Los Cocos Restaurant - Cheese enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had the mole enchiladas and my son had the beef quesadillas, both were really good. I liked the champurrado here because they don't use milk. I love champurrado but usually can't have any because of the milk. I am definitely returning to this establishment to try other things on the menu. Staff were nice and welcoming. The restaurant was clean, the only thing that bothered me a little bit was the music, it was a tad loud for me, but I'm just old and prefer quiet. read more

Well it good but they have jacked up the prices and everyone knows how cheap it is to make Mexican food so wow you are too high fir the taste bye read more

This restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. I ordered the beef fajita taco plate with charro beans.The beans were probably one of the best I've ever eaten and the rest of the food was Just as delicious. The green sauce was nice and spicy and I could drink the red salsa it was so good. The server was nice and attentive. I will definitely be back!!! read more

Great food. Great place Nice ambiance Great place for a family outing Service was awesome read more

I order the same meal, chicken flautas, everytime to-go and occasionally the pork tamales. All of it is delicious!!! The guacamole and pico de gallo is freshly made. The refried beans and rice have a nice flavor. And I love the spicy green sauce they give. I ordered the flan once and it was nice. First time trying it so I had no expectations. Not super sweet, which I prefer. Highly recommend visiting this restaurant. read more

I order to go food for a friend and I and the food was bland with no flavor. She got the chicken quesadilla and it came soggy and the guacamole was black. I order the parrillada for 1 , the shrimp were dry and the other meat had no flavor. They did have hand made tortillas. But the parrillada came with no fixings like sour cream lettuce , guac and no salsa! Very disappointing. I came based on reviews and did not match. read more

I would like to start this review by saying that the food is really tasty. The only reason I stopped going was because of the prices. I felt it was too expensive. Even though I like the taste, because of the price I go down the street instead and pay less for the same food. read more

I had nooo idea of this place until one day we were down the street super hungry but were craving Mexican food! In this area there isn't a lot of variety when it comes to restaurants, mainly fast food places. OMG I absolutely enjoyed this food!! The food was soo authentic and made fast with a perfect presentation just as shown in their pics! I will definitely keep coming back here again. read more

The menudo was so amazing and my husband is very picky. I also ordered the quesadilla de pastor was also the best I ever had. Definitely will be ordering again. read more

Had this food when I was sick and it's a constant craving! The enchiladas verdes is so good. It's shredded chicken in a spicy green sauce. Their rice is sooooo good. Refried beans were a bit runny, but still really good. Can't wait to go again. Service is quick as well. Not even 5 minutes. read more

Tortillas freshly cooked light, not a trace of grease. The two choices for a dip were very good. Orchata (drink) freshly home made and 12 on a scale of 10. The tamales were excellent. I opted for the Chili Relleno was excellent and actually had a bite to it. The black beans were well cooked and very tasty. The rice was good. Pat opted for the hamburger and said it rated in his top 10. Rocco had the enchilada which was excellent. Everything was fresh and well cooked and reasonably priced. read more

[warning: rave review] This is the best spot I've been to in Houston!! I went here twice the same day I discovered it -- slightly embarrassing. For breakfast I got their omelette that came with many wonderful accouterments. I got out for under $10 for nothing short of a feast. In the evening, I tried their homemade molè. It was wonderful and so reasonably priced. Eating here felt like I was visiting someone's house. Everyone was really friendly, especially the Chef, Francisco! read more

They should be ashamed of selling this overpriced food. I tried the beef soup. I attached the pictures of what I received. Yes! They just opened a can of vegetables and call it beef soup. The first red flag was the cashier with attitude and then that she charged more of what was described online. This should be the worse mexican restaurant in Houston. read more

Los Cocos Restaurant - What a disappointment.. smh - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Cute little hidden gem this restaurant is! The lady who served us was very nice and welcoming! She brought everything out fast and everything tasted really good! I'm glad we stopped by and can't wait to try again. At first we weren't sure about the soup she brought out with the chips and salsa but it was delish. My husband is very picky and he loves the tamales! We will be coming back! read more

the lady didn't want to tell me the cost of the food and she had already put in the order and she stole a dollar from me saying I only paid 10 when I paid 11 but ai counted it before I gave her the money read more

Everything was spot on! Full of flavor, not greasy. Micheladas are on point! We loved the soup that is served with the chips and salsa. Completely authentic! read more

This small family owned restaurant is quiet and quaint but has so much life and history as well as warmth and love that just jump at you in each plate you try. This is true Mexican handmade grandma's home cooking. I've been here many times and love trying the daily specials. The Friday special is definitely my favorite: mole de torta. They have the most amazing authentic mole poblano. They have other options like salads, quesadillas (highly recommend al pastor), tamales (amazing!!), seafood and lots more. read more

Los Cocos Restaurant - Company lunch - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Yummy little hole-in-the-wall spot with heart. The services was good and the ambiance chill and quiet. The food has heart and authenticity typical of Mexican food. I was happily surprised to find nopales in my vegetarian burrito. It gave it a lot more depth and substance than the boring unflavored Tex mex of lettuce, tomato, onion mixture found in other places. Guacamole was freshly homemade. We ordered and received service in Spanish, but the whole menu is written in Spanish and English (so Texas). Definitely worth a visit. read more

This is by far my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa are very good and the complimentary soup is delicious. This has became one of my to go to mexican restaurant so I have tried many dishes. Here a few must tries.... Omelets, Green Enchiladas, Cecina meat plate, Picaditas, Tamales, chicken Mole plus all the daily specials are amazingly good. Corn tortillas are freshly made and the strawberry cheesecake is a must try. read more

The service is excellent and the whole fried fish is very good . The quesadilla. Chicken is excellent . I also had the tamales and taco everything is very excellent so far read more

Wow! This place is great!! I had an Omelete Mexicano which was to die for, substituted beans for Spanish rice. Our waitress was very sweet. Not that far from my house so we decided to try it and we thoroughly enjoyed it, pleasant surprise! Give this place a try, you won't regret it. read more

The Waitress was not that Good. Maybe she was New or Nervous, but she forgot alot of things, it was only 4 tables at that time.We ordered fajita for two we received rice,Tortilla but no beans :/ Fajitas wasn't that Juicy. IT was A OK. This is a Good Restaurant if you want cheap Mex Food. I will come again to try something Different, cause this restaurant is down the street from my job. read more

TBH we probably did not order the best choices they had but we were just craving them. We ordered the nachos and chicken quesadillas. They were very basic. Nothing special about quesadillas. Nachos were mostly beans and some meat and cheese; it could have used more more toppings or chile con queso. When we came, we had complimentary soup which was a nice thought but it was like tomato water. Also was not a fan of the salsa. They were really nice and had good service. I'd give it another chance and order something else. read more

This is not tex mex which is what I was looking for. Friendly service but just not what I was expecting. We ordered a grilled dish with a variety of meats. My boyfriend didn't have any complaints. The chicken I tasted was pretty good but I was put off by the store bought tortillas. I'm used to eating homemade tortillas when I go to a restaurant, especially if its authentic Mexican food. I ordered chicken enchiladas but received beef so my boyfriend got to both of our plates and I ate off his grilled platter. The salsas taste nothing like the kind you get at a tex mex joint. I didn't like either and decided to make nachos with the chips, fajita meat, rice and beans from our dishes. We made the best of it but probably wouldn't go back. read more

The food is AMAZING. it is authentic Mexican food. The staff is super nice. sometimes there is a small language barrier if you do not speak Spanish but you won't have a problem ordering what you want. the chicken enchiladas verdes were packed with flavor and super filling. minus one star as serve can be slightly slow. the 2 times i went there was only one waitress. Also the Horchata taste store bought. it was not good at all. everything else is great! read more

Awesome and traditional Mexico dishes all the way from Puebla Mexico. Want to try real authentic Mexican food I recommend eating here.

I was a little skeptical of the restaurant at first just because i'm new to the area and know nothing of the Mexican food quality. I ended up having the Al pastor quesadilla and wife had fajuta quesadilla delicious . The salsas are on point with traditional Mexican grandma quality. Will be going back to try more of the menu. read more

The red salsa with the chips is sooo good, and i don't even care for salsa. Yesterday i had the enchiladas verdes. Plenty of chicken and had a kick to it. Today i had a sope de fajita and the fajita was so tender. Sope was more than enough, not a small portion at all. I'll be back for the chilaquiles in the AM. read more

The food isn't bad, but its not great either. Its..passable I guess. The pictures of the food look tastier than the food itself. I had the enchiladas verdes with chicken....I was just majorly disappointed. read more

Nice little Mexican family restaurant. The food was great, like home cooked. They have a few Tex Mex dishes on the menu, such as burritos, but they mainly serve authentic Mexican food. Delicious tamales and mole negro. Table service was a little slow. read more
