Instead of trying to resolve the situation, he was argumentative and dismissive, repeatedly insisting there was nothing wrong with the food. I brought the food back to the restaurant so they could see the issue firsthand. The manager kept the dish but refused to issue a refund. The only option he offered was to remake the order as plain cheese enchiladas, which I did not feel was a reasonable solution given my concern about the quality of the original meal. During the interaction, I also asked for a copy of the receipt, and he claimed I never asked for it, which added to the frustration. Overall, this experience felt unprofessional and poorly handled. I left without my food and without a refund. I hope the owner addresses how customer concerns are managed, because this was very disappointing

Shortly after we were seated, our server came by to get our drink order and brought chips and salsa and a bean dip. Everything was so good which made for a really strong start for the meal! My sister in law and I both ordered margaritas. She ordered the Organic margarita and I ordered the Mango Habanero one. I thought my margarita was way too sweet but my sister in law loved hers. For my meal I ordered the three street tacos plate with chicken. This came with rice and charro beans on the side. The charro beans were absolutely BOMB. Probably my favorite part of the whole meal. The chicken in the tacos was also really good. Very juicy and flavorful. Everyone at the table really enjoyed the food. I was surprised to see the negative reviews on here. We had a really positive experience with the food, service, everything! Will definitely come back next time I am in town!

The champagne margarita is very fun; hadn't had anything like that before and bubbly goes with everything! Sampled the skinny margarita too though and as far as classic margs go, that one was the best of the two. The shrimp nachos were fabulous; great option instead of the usual ground beef. And the whole atmosphere is great... like a Mexican diner. Love the inside and the outdoor patio is so inviting. We will definitely be back!

Enchilada burrito oowee was salty greasy ground beef, couldn't finish. Overall menu prices high in comparison.

Huevos Celosos ... $5.99. 8/10 2 eggs, any style, covered with green and red sauce, served with beans, home fries, and tortillas This was a perfect breakfast choice, everything on the plate was excellent. Had my eggs over easy, the red sauce was slightly sweet and the green sauce was tangy as it should be . The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the refried beens were on point. The tortillas are not homemade but they served their purpose. They were actually better than some homemade tortillas. Chips and Salsa. $2.99. 6/10 Thy are available during breakfast for a few dollars extra. The salsa was tasty with just a bit of spice , the chips were thin and crispy. This is a simple Mexican diner serving up some great food at a great price. I will definitely be back to try out more of the menu. The customer service, food quality and location are all perfect. Stop in and give them a try.

You just don't see that often and I wanted to try it. The stars aligned and my family and I met up here for a weeknight dinner. Alvin is the true definition of a small town. It is just south of Pearland and life moves a little slower out here. Atleast for time being as it is becoming more developed now. The building itself is old and full of character. Everyone seemed to know each other. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, but service was a tad bit slow at times. My family isn't a big drinking family so we stuck with water and sodas, but they have quite a nice bar program here. They have a really impressive beer selection, a long list of specialty cocktails and lots of wine to choose from. I'm definitely coming back to check that out without the fam. For appetizers, we got an order of the scotch eggs and the Bavarian pretzel sticks. This was my first introduction to scotch eggs and a wonderful one at that. You really can't go wrong with anything wrapped in sausage and deep friend. It was a nice treat and something I will not be sharing next time. The pretzels were also very good. Our waitress suggested some cheese sauce to accompany those. These sticks of goodness were excellent. For my entree, I was stuck on a few items as their menu is pretty extensive. Our waitress said my option for the Pork Milanesa was the way to go, so I did. I've had milanesa at Mexican restaurants, but never in a tavern nor prepared this way. This was hand battered in panko and then topped with a mushroom gravy. It comes with broccoli and mashed potatoes but I substituted the veggie for mac and cheese. This dish was very good and the portions were very generous. Enough for me to have a full second meal minus the sides. The pork was thinly pounded and kept it's crunch even doused in gravy. The gravy was rich and very delicious. My family got a mix of items like the philly cheese steak, flat iron steak salad, tavern salad, and chicken fried steak. For research purposes and for my loyal readers, I tried everything. There wasn't anything that was bad to me. We were full so desserts didn't happen on this trip. Overall, Gordon Street Tavern is a solid spot that I would happily return to if in the area.

Well..... the food was okay.. we had a large party of 10, so many different dishes were ordered and sampled.. the food overall is okay, but nothing wow about it.. rice was mid.. it just didn't hit.. if they said it was day old rice I'd believe it.. the beans tasted like they were from a bag or something.. again. They were okay not bad but not amazing, but neither rice or beans tasted homemade or freshly made, I'm Mexican and eat them daily. I feel like I know the difference but taste is completely subjective. Service was friendly our waiter was patient and took the time to answer our questions and concerns. They gave us chips and salsa, I'm visiting Texas and so far every place gives me warm salsa, maybe it's a Texas thing but it's just not something I'm used to but it tasted good just weird it's warm.. We had an issue with the horchata, not tasting at all like horchata, we asked the server what was in it and he was completely clueless and said I don't know, and on his phone while we asked this and just seemed not happy to be there, but they swapped it no problem.. thanks again, we got the lemonade and it was delicious. I ordered the carnitas and they were amazing.. I would recommend you get them yourself I've had lots throughout my life and they're definitely top 3. My mom ordered the shrimp cocktail, it didn't hit.. we ended up sharing my carnitas plate. I don't recommend the shrimp cocktail, the shrimps were tiny, precooked and I could tell they came frozen.. I love ketchup, but this was an excess. Idk something just wasn't right.. my mom ate maybe 1/4 of it and was done.. cousins got burgers and fries they were basic but hit the spot, someone else got fajitas and they hit.. enchiladas were yummy, someone got a tamale I didn't try it but they ate it all.. same with the crunchy tacos and tostadas.. overall the place was okay. Ambiance was great, it's nicely decorated and very cheerful., services was friendly and we finished it off with complimentary self serve ice cream..
