    This is a great taco spot with really authentic Mexican flavors. Both the flour and corn tortillas are delicious, and the salsas are just as good. I also love that they sell Mexican candies, it's a fun little touch. The service was friendly, and even though the AC was a bit cold, it didn't take away from the experience at all.

    Breakfast taco

    First time at the establishment,customer service was on point. I ordered 2 breakfast tacos potatoes,eggs,cheese and one shrimp taco! All 3 were amazing,fresh and hot! Salsa was self serve,tables were clean,fresh smelling atmosphere. This is a hidden gems Overall food and service a 10/5. Only thing is the inside temperature was a bit warm,maybe the AC was not working,luckily I was the only one in there. Other than that,the place is amazing!!

    Enchiladas Suizas
    Justin K.

    Good Mexican food that can satisfy your Mexican craving. Enchiladas suizas - the flavor was good in the chicken and the sauce. The rice was dry so that was disappointing and the enchiladas were slightly smaller than expected. 3.5/5 Vallarta walker fish taco - good crispy catfish (I think) inside and lots of coleslaw. The coleslaw sauce overpowered the taco but I liked its flavor so that was ok for me. 3.5/5 Chilango taco - beef taco with good Mexican flavors not anything special. 3/5 There are three salsas available but none of them are spicy so that was disappointing. They also do not provide any complimentary chips either so I have to dock a star for these two shortcomings.

    Charro Beans

    Came across this restaurant while looking for street tacos near my new job and I am so thankful I did! People from work were talking about that Cababana place and I removed them from my contacts list, immediately! Luichi and Joesy's street tacos are pretty good, although they only give you five (5) tacos, rather than the six (6) that I usually get from my favorite taco spot in Richmond. If there was another place nearby that gave me six tacos for the same money, I'd be there. One more taco makes a difference! The taste of the onions and cilanro and the way the meat is seasoned makes for a pretty tasty street taco. The side of charro beans was pretty tasty, also. On the first of my two visits, I ordered three menu items (street tacos, chips and salsa, and loaded fries) and I wasn't expecting them to be big portions. Now I see why the guy behind the counter asked, "Is it just for you?" His eyes got big when I replied that it was all for me. LOL. It was my only meal of the day (OMD). The chips and salsa were very tasty, by the way. The restaurant is small, but comfortable if there aren't a lot of people eating. The staff is very friendly and they keep the place clean. My only gripe is that if you ask for salsa, you get about a teaspoon in a little container (see image). Come on, now!

    Stopped in this morning the tacos are great and affordable . They have a great selection of food

    Cute Tex Mex Taco place close to Memorial drive with a taste of Mexico . Love the location easy to get into and out of. They even had Mexican pure vanilla for sale.

    This place is AMAZING!!!! The nachos are incredible. Everything is well priced and the food is sooooo good. It's very clean and very fast. I love the fact it's family run and authentic.

    I shouldn't have waited so long to try this place! I now have a new favorite close to home. First of all, who doesn't love tacos?! But wait... they have breakfast tacos ALL DAY! I love breakfast for dinner! The restaurant is small, but offers plenty of seating, including chairs and tables outside. The interior is bright with vivid colors. They have trinket items for purchase at the register. It reminded me of what you may see in a Mexico City store front. The order taker was very friendly helpful with suggestions. I ordered the chips and salsa, one Pirata (beef, no onions), one egg with sausage and one egg with bacon. Everything was so tasty! The chips were warm and the red salsa was cool with just the right kick. All of the tacos were fresh, delicious and the perfect size. The beef in the Pirata was chopped and had the best flavor. The sausage breakfast taco had cubed sausage with perfectly scrambled eggs and the bacon taco (also with scrambled eggs) was delightful too. I can't review this place without mentioning the salsas. They have a dedicated mini fridge for the 3 different flavors of salsas. You can get as many as you want. I love the "GREEN = HOT" is like the taqueria restaurants. It's hot, but not too hot and the flavor is so good, you won't be able to stop eating it. The "RED = MEDIUM" is what they give you with the chips. The blend has a perfect kick to it. Finally, the "CREAMY CILANTRO = MILD" is just as stated: creamy cilantro goodness! Each one was so good, there's no way I can pick a favorite. I am so excited about my new find! One suggestion I would have for the decision makers of this location: change the music. It doesn't change my 5-star rating, but the tunes didn't match anything in there. The music I heard was like a spa. With the bright colors and fun murals, I would think the music would be a more upbeat tempo. Again, doesn't change the fact that I will be back, but I did notice it was the only thing "out of place", so to speak. Great job, L&J's! You really have a good thing going there! I just can't say enough about this place. I wasn't expecting to be so impressed. LOVE IT and highly recommend!!!!! (side note: I wasn't ready to eat when I brought the items home. I put them in the oven on warm for a couple hours and they were still delicious! Imagine if I would have eaten them as they came off the grill!)

    Left to right: bacon and egg, potato and egg, Mexican egg. The red and green salsa are spicy

    I order tacos through the yelp app for take-out this morning. They have a big menu but since I was ordering breakfast it was small and simple. I ordered three bacon and egg, one potato and egg, and one Mexican egg which were all good. Nothing really special about the tacos in general but you can tell they cut their potatoes by hand as they were not in squares, but French fry like. I would like to see more places cut their potatoes like this. The eggs are fresh and flour tortillas were not soggy. The stand out for me was the green and red salsa which I mixed together to make an amazing spicy salsa. I cannot wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

At brunch, the papas bravas come as small cubes of fried potato with an airy crunch that gives way to a soft, pillowy center - the kind of deeply satisfying bite that makes conversation briefly irrelevant. Crisp prosciutto adds salt, aioli brings richness, and smoky chile sauce keeps it lively. They're served with cactus-handled toothpicks, which are almost offensively adorable. The chilaquiles divorciados are another hit. The chips are dressed with salsa rather than drowned beneath it, so each one arrives ready for the perfect bite. It's a small distinction, but an important one. Then there are the enfrijoladas: rolled quesadillas in fluffy tortillas, covered in creamy black bean sauce and plated with more care than bean and cheese might seem to warrant. The dish is fundamentally simple, but that's the point. Soft tortilla, savory beans, melted cheese, bright salsa. Familiar ingredients transformed into something deeply comforting--the culinary equivalent of curling up beneath a warm blanket on a cold morning, even if Houston rarely provides one. Dinner shifts into another gear. The crudos are sensational, especially the tuna tiradito - a rolling wave of flavor and texture. The tacos are excellent across the board, but the crispy maitake mushrooms are unmatched. The short ribs arrive juicy and tender on a mole negro that doesn't sit politely in the background. It lands dark, complex, and full of flavor. And then there's the masa cornbread, a masterpiece of unapologetic indulgence. Humble cornbread meets savory-sweet mole, smoky, earthy butter, and caviar. It sounds like too much. It isn't. Every element earns its place. The cocktails deserve their own warning. They're the kind that convince you to keep ordering the same drink all night. By the end, you may have forgotten what was in it. What you'll remember is that it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you needed. Maximo makes ambitious food feel generous rather than fussy. Come hungry.

The experience started poorly with the valet attendants, whom we found to be rude, dismissive, and very unprofessional. It was such an unpleasant first impression that my wife and I mentioned it to the hostess when we went inside. Unfortunately, things did not improve. The hostess seemed completely unconcerned about our experience and simply informed us that the wait for a table was approximately two hours. While deciding whether our party should wait or go elsewhere, I went to the bar to order a drink. After ordering, the bartender told me that if I was only having a drink, I needed to move. Apparently, sitting at the bar required ordering a meal. At that point, we had experienced enough. Between the unpleasant valet experience, the indifferent response at the hostess stand, the two-hour wait, and then being told I couldn't sit at the bar simply to have a drink while we decided what to do, the overall message was clear: we did not feel welcome here. My wife, the rest of our party, and I decided to leave and have dinner elsewhere. A busy restaurant is understandable. A long wait is understandable. What is much harder to understand is making prospective customers feel unwelcome at nearly every point of contact. Needless to say, this was an exceptionally disappointing experience, and we will not be returning.
