    Watermelon margarita
    Darshell V.

    I got the watermelon margarita it was absolutely delicious!!! I also got the chicken shrimp and steak fajita hot plate. So good! The service was good too, it wasn't crowded... anyway, I would definitely go back!

    Cheese enchiladas
    Timmy W.

    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.

    Beef fajita tacos plate with charro beans.
    Amanda C.

    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!!!

    Enchilada verdes
    Nancy G.

    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.

    Hamburger was exceptionally great
    Robert B.

    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.

    Amazing omelette with many delicious trappings
    Jacob S.

    [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!

    Huevo con papas y chorizo
    Steph V.

    When I come down to visit my family. This is one of my "let's go get breakfast" places. Food is made with a touch of Puebla and has never disappointed.

    a bowl of vegetables

    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.

    What a disappointment.. smh

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!

The "queso" w/carne seemed to be out of a can-it was orange & didn't have the consistency of real cheese- wasn't really cheese & was disgusting. It was $9.99. I am including a photo of the overcooked beef fajita. A senior citizen can get the all beef lunch fajita special for virtually the same price as the fajita combo here ALL DAY at Pappasitos. It definitely is enough for 2. The meat melts in your mouth. EVERYTHING is better quality than here. Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous. It reminds me that I had stopped going long ago when they charged extra for onions on enchiladas. Come on. You don't charge extra for chopped onions! I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo. Tonight they were tough & uneventful. We arrived on a week night when they were not busy. Neither of the salsas were as good as they used to be.The water pitcher didn't even have ice when they refilled the water. I have absolutely no desire to return. Why would I?

The restaurant has an intimate indoor space and adjacent covered patio. Both were already full when we arrived which created a lively atmosphere. The inside was so tasteful - small but moody and warm! I'd definitely recommend a reservation for the weekends! We started with the aguachile de camaron as a starter and WOW my husband cannot stop talking about this dish. The perfect blend of textures and flavors - this will be a must for us every visit. We have had our eyes on the 5-course Chef Tasting Menu for $49 + the optional beverage pairing for $30. The experience felt more than fair for the price, especially by Houston standards. Each course felt thoughtful and slightly boundary-pushing, yet really approachable. My partner and I have been on a bit of a mole kick recently, so were very excited for the hanger steak with truffle mole. It absolutely delivered and would love to order this again! We were also heavily drawn to the tuna tartare starter, masa cornbread, and tres leches. The wine and drink parings were perfect and not too fruity. The brut rose was a perfect way to start and I always love a mezcal cocktail. I highly recommend anyone visiting to start with this Tasting Menu and leave the stress in the hands of Chef Adrian Torres! We had the pleasure of chatting with him briefly after our meal and were so impressed with his story and clear excitement he brings. The rest of the staff were equally kind and really added to the evening! Side note: We had the pleasure to attend Maximo's Cinco de Mayo block party and were so impressed by the community involvement bringing in local vendors and live music. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this restaurant for future tasting menus and events.

It's definitely a smaller, cute neighborhood spot with a really fun vibe. The service was good. Our server was funny, attentive, and made the experience fun. We started with the "corn ribs" appetizer and WOW. Probably one of my favorite corn dishes I've had in a long time. So flavorful and addictive. We also got the "Tiradito de Hamachi" crudo, which was fresh and delicious! For the entree, my friend and I shared the tacos (which comes with your choice of 3). We added an extra taco to make it 4. I was genuinely shocked that the mushroom taco ended up being my favorite because I almost always prefer meat, but it was THAT good. The fried shrimp taco was also amazing. For dessert, we got the tres leches cake. I'm usually not a huge fan of strawberry or fruit toppings on desserts, but the cake itself was really, really good. I ended up just removing the strawberries and eating the cake, which was moist and flavorful. The only downside for me was the drinks. They looked larger than they actually were because of the glassware, and they tasted a little watered down. I had two, and they just weren't very strong or super flavorful. Other than that though, the food and service absolutely made up for it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.
