    Happy hour menu April 2024
    Allison L.

    Great place for a quick, filling, reasonably priced lunch! I had not heard of Mandito's before discovering this Tex-Mex delight today. Reviewing the photos on yelp and menu on their website, I knew this place was the place for lunch today. Maybelline was my server and provided great service! I will be back for margaritas soon!

    We live super close to Mandito's and it's has become a great place for us to come with our family! We love their happy hour. They have quite a few appetizers and drink specials that everyone can enjoy. The kids are able to get the quesadillas, which are a hefty serving, and the adults are able to enjoy a cocktail! This last time I tried their seasonal frozen drink which was a pina colada and their burrito bowl. We were able to enjoy the outdoor seating which was great for the kids! The salad hit the spot- fresh ingredients and the chipotle ranch dressing was a perfect pairing. The pina colada was on the sweeter side, so next time I will probably opt for their margarita. The service was a little on the slower side but we were taking our time so we didn't mind! Our server was very sweet and attentive otherwise! We will definitely be coming back. Check this family friendly place out with your crew!

    I live in the area and had my eye on this place for a while. I had lunch and dinner plans so I didn't want to eat much but wanted to check it out. This restaurant is very well presented. The lanterns, array of color, the fun tees the servers wear, the furniture...all give an island cultural feel. I sat on the patio and ordered 2 palomas. There are misters on the patio that the staff was testing during my visit. It was odd at first because it was unexpected. It also wasn't terribly hot but I appreciated the concept and I think it will come in handy during the next few Houston months. My Paloma was very well mixed and the presentation (like everything else) was on point. I loved the black salt and my server informed me they have a variety of different salts/rim dressings if I wanted something different. I did not eat, however I was debating queso and decided against it. My server asked if I wanted to taste it so I could know next time if I liked it. Let me be honest here...the queso tasted like melted cheese. There was zero flavor or spice so I was happy I didn't order it. My five star rating is for the ambience and service. Don was my server. He was super attentive and friendly. He asked me my name right away and addressed me by name my entire visit. It felt very personal but not the overstepping kind of personal. I'm on the fence on if I will eat here based on my queso sample and the other reviews but I without a doubt will come back for cocktails.

    Tasty and very vegan-friendly. Great guacamole. Great kale tacos. Good homemade corn tortillas.

    My brother and I visited this restaurant a few days ago around 2/3 pm. The restaurant was absolutely empty. I ordered a ranch water and it was absolutely perfect. My second ranch water was extremely limey so I ask if it could be remade. This is when my issue came about because Heidi (manager) comes over rudely and says the recipe says half lime juice/half tequila. Ask if I want something else then proceeds to take the drink from my hand. Not to mention she had her daughter (around 4-6 yrs old) in the kitchen which wasn't cool with us. My brother and I decided to cash out due to Heidi's poor customer service as a manager. This is when Makenzie came over and made everything right. Not only did she remake my ranch water which was perfect. She also gave us a gift card for the inconvenience. She chatted with us for a little while which I made us feel better. Makenzie is a great addition to the management team. I was originally leaving 1 stars due to Heidi but thanks Makenzie for making things right.

    thicc chips n salsa

    Went for lunch and they have a $10 lunch! (Nov '24) You get two traditional combo choices such as a taco/enchilada. I really was impressed with the ground beef in my taco. It is a flavor I have never tasted in a beef taco anywhere. I love herbs and spices and have no idea what it could be but it was great. I sat at the bar where Adrian was my waiter/bartender and he educated me on tequila vs mezcal. He was great! You get your chips and salsa and the chips are on the thicc side and super crunchy and tasty. The salsa was not too spicy and went well with the chips. If you want a frozen marg, I recommend the blood orange. Ambiance was open with windows spanning the whole wall and outside dining is also offered. PS happy hour starts at 2pm to 6pm.

    Exceptional food and service! My family was brought here with my brother & fiancé while visiting from out of town. The service was next level and everything we ate was so fresh & delicious . My favorite part was the refried beans! So unique but absolutely yummy & memorable! The fajita meat was so tender and the chips were excellent. I recently travelled to Los Cabo, Mexico and the chips I had here were very similar and oh so fresh!! I can't wait to return when I visit Houston again! Thank you!

    Came here this morning, and it wasn't bad for Tex-mex. The food was good, the service was great. The bartender, David, was amazing & a quite the conversationalist; Gave me lots of information about the drink menu. The vibes were nice, it was pretty empty when I went as you can see and aesthetically pleasing.

    I found this place through Yelp as I was working nearby. The place is bright, sleek, and colorful. Bianca was my waitress and she was very nice. I began with chips and salsa. The chips are greasy, but they're good. The salsa serving was generous and one of the best I've tried. Though it was just a few minutes past 2 p.m., I was still able to order a lunch special for $10. You pick two of a few things. I picked a cheese enchilada and Baja slaw. It comes with beans and rice. Here's my disappointment. I'm pescatarian. When I finished the enchilada, I noticed tiny pieces of ground beef. It doesn't state so under the lunch specials. I was highly disappointed. Bianca was really sorry. I had mentioned to her that I don't eat meat. She didn't know the cheese enchiladas contain meat which is a chili gravy. She's new at the restaurant. The Baja slaw was tasteles, and so were the black beans. I really want to like the place. If I'm in the area, maybe I'll try cheese quesadillas or nachos. The outdoor seating has sleek contemporary chairs and will be nice when the Fall arrives.

    We usually share and today's meal was no exception. My wife got a small tortilla soup, it was very good but pricy for the size. She also got a glass of iced tea, also good but pricy....are you sensing a reoccuring theme yet? I enjoyed the tres hombres enchiladas, very tasty and pricy, one cheese enchy wit' chili gravy, one chicken wit' salsa verde sauce and one picadillo wit' chili con queso, the sides were very good....twice fried beans and average Mexican rice. The service was good. Nice cutlery, I tend to notice things that make the task at hand more enjoyable.

    A strawberry hibiscus margarita and a mezcal margarita!

    All you people giving 1 star on their first day need to day a long rest and put your phone down. You needed a little time to adjust when you were born also. We stopped by after having a full dinner at another restaurant, just to try the margaritas. It's a new place in Bellaire! Keep them coming! The margaritas were great. Definitely they are worth coming back for another. Plus, they have a great selection of Mezcals and salts. It's a great place to experiment with margaritas. Our bartender was excellent, fun, and interesting. She was Venezuelan and a great margarita/mezcal tour guide. The salsa was great, and the chips were nice, crunchy, and thick, slightly different and tasty compared to other chips around town. We didn't try the food because we were already full. We'll be back. You should definitely visit the bar and give the food a shot!

    Tacos Al carbon
    Abigail L.

    Honestly, the worst tex-mex I've ever had. What a disappointment! Our friends and I went to Mandito's last night for Cinco De Mayo dinner... The place looked beautiful and promising, but then you get your food and It's either too salty or flavorless. I ordered the tacos Al carbon and my husband ordered chicken flautas - both were MEH. Our friends ordered the fajitas and they didn't enjoy theirs much either. Service was okay, but a bit slow. I don't think we'll ever be going back to this place again. A sad addition to Bellaire. Soooo many other better choices in Houston!

    Great patio, margs and nachos!

The grilled salmon and the gumbo are both absolutely amazing, but I would recommend you come for oysters in the fall and winter.

I decided to step outside my comfort zone and try the Oysters Rockefeller... and let's just say they weren't my speed. They weren't bad, just not for me. So naturally I sent them back and ordered my tried-and-true favorite... Chargrilled Oysters with extra garlic butter, Parmesan, and bacon. Now THAT'S what I came for! Rich, buttery, cheesy, smoky, and absolutely loaded with flavor. Every bite reminded me why these are my go-to. And because brunch rules apply... it was only right to enjoy a pineapple mimosa (or two ). Light, refreshing, and the perfect pairing for all that seafood. If you're visiting Goode Co. Seafood, my advice is simple: Don't skip the Smoked Redfish Dip. Order the Chargrilled Oysters. Add extra garlic butter. Thank me later. 9.5/10 -- I'll definitely be back! #LoveJonesEats #HoustonEats #GoodeSeafood #ChargrilledOysters #SeafoodLover #HoustonFoodie #BrunchVibes #MimosaMood #SupportLocal #FoodieFinds

I got to see my Hero Jacob, the manager,who saved my friend's life the day before. He was wonderful as usual, welcoming and warm. I think I could eat there every day. You need to eat at 491. It's quite a treat. Ask for Jacob my hero. Tell him we sent you.

This is what I would consider to be an upscale dining restaurant with a unique assortment of specialty dishes. Ordered hot honey chicken bites, Brussels sprouts as starters and they both were excellent. In fact everything was excellent. Greek salad, Sonoma chicken salad on wheat with orzo salad and the chicken skillet pot pie. All very good. Neat feel to the building and kept impeccably clean. Specialty cocktails, happy hours etc... Would expect to find this restaurant in the heart of First Colony or in premium dining downtown. So great to see upscale dining in Bellaire. Found prices to be very fair given quality. Wood fire pizza on site. Tons of options. Will definitely be back. Well done!

They might as well have sat us outside with the open door behind us bringing in the heat and wind blowing our napkins off the table. Speaking of napkins, it was extremely difficult to get one from the holder being filled to the brim; straight up had to take a chunk of napkins out to get any comfortably. Now onto the food, the pasta was bland. Mojarra has so much grease from the garlic on top. Grilled chicken lacked flavor my it's self, the shrimp was amazing, the sausage was not worth the extra charge. Rice with broccoli was alright. Horchata was watered down. Service was great, it took less than 30 minutes to be sat during lunch (3:00 pm). The food took a little over 45 minutes but it was packed so it's understandable. All our food came all at once except for one which came a short while later. They would check in to see if everything was ok.
