if i could give this place a zero, i would. servers are rude. my mother waited twenty minutes for a tostada, asked for it in sort of a joking manner, and her server acted menacingly and tried to intimidate her. he went to the kitchen and brought it out immediately before leaning close to her and whispering "See, I can joke too." do not eat here if you want a good exprience, seriously behavior like that is not okay. read more

Miguel was very helpful and attentive. The food was very good and the margaritas were amazing I drank about 5 of them and left very happy . The music was very good and provided a great ambiance that made my night for my family and friends. read more

I pick up my food today Two toothpicks were in my girlfriends order of enchiladas; one he nearly swallowed, and the other we located while trying to see if there were any more. Not to mention the accompanying hair. This is from Alvin's Martinez's! read more

Although I try to be a fair reviewer, I am giving this hidden gem a 4.9999+ as the only fault I could find it that she lied when she said the menudo was good! It wasn't.... it was fantastic! The bowl you see is after I had eaten half of it & had to take a break! Have eaten here several times & been impressed with the service, reasonable prices, and cleanliness! Good weekday happy hours. Menudo is weekends only...A must try! read more

Martinez Mexican Restaurant & Bar - Weekend treat - Menudo & Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Alvin, Texas

This is our first time here. We never knew this place existed. Thank you yelp. If you like television, there's at least eight of them here. Tortilla chips are the thick variety. Served with red salsa and a green avocado dip. They are not overly salty. Ordered the fajitas beef nachos to share. Our gold standard is Rancho in Friendswood. This fajita meat is a little more fatty, And a little saltier. The menu advertises that it is served with lettuce and tomato; however there was none on our plate. Frozen margarita was $4.99 and is served in a large beer mug. I would rate that a good value.l read more

Martinez Mexican Restaurant & Bar - Fahita beef nachos - Mexican Near Me - Alvin, Texas

Always a great place for strong drinks and fun! Karaoke was so fun. We usually visit with a group of friends and the employees are tentative and always friendly read more

We're usually here every Friday for dinner! Service from all of the wait staff is always efficient. Everything that I've had on the menu has always been delicious! Margaritas are a hit as well! Prices are very fair for the amount of food that you get. Stop by and say hello to Oscar the owner, Lina the manager & our favorite waiter Bryan. read more

Only 1 star because it won't let you post without it. Nasty. Refried beans = no flavor and looks like runny poop. Not joking. Chicken fajitas were ok. Menu said there would be mushrooms but there weren't. Chips kind of stale. Service was good so that is the one star. Terrible food. read more

If you find yourself in Alvin Texas and you want a nice Rita's and really tasty Mexican food stop by Martinez. Make sure you look past the happy ending store front because the atmosphere is worth it. read more

Omg! We just moved here to Alvin and we have tried this place a few times the food has been phenomenal but tonight we were actually able to sit down and I had a margarita which was out of this world I have had a lot a margaritas before but this one took the cake all I can see is the tortillas are homemade and the food is freaking fabulous! read more

Food is great we move the crawfish but.... service is really bad is not my first time here but today was awful the waitress taking selfies like they r in a club I was waiting to one of them looking in my table to ask for more coke or water they never did when I ask for a plastic bag she bring me a box was bad plus was like 3 girls of there talking and never check on the tables if we need something I really thinking about it to come back and is bad because we love the food and the green salsa was really salty when I ask for my check I was seen they charge $1.50 for a kids water really !!! read more

Ate some enchiladas that were so delicious. Had an excellent sauce on them and the chicken was spiced perfectly. The mango / chamoy margarita was over the top. Staff was so friendly. When I return back in town will definitely go back to eat there. read more

Good drinks, tasty food, great service, their crawfish is amazing btw( I know in a Mexican place idk) but music sooo loud.

We went here for dinner after our softball tournament this past weekend. We are a large group, about 25, and the restaurant was very accommodating. This is a smaller location so I was pleasantly surprised. The food was received in a timely manner and the staff was very helpful. The food wasn't the best I've ever had but it was tasty and super reasonably priced. read more

Best service whether you get the nice waitress or the nice young man. Fast food. If you're starving stop here. I'm not sure why a reviewer said beans are runny. If he was talking about the refried beans they're just like every other Mexican restaurant ever been to consistency-wise. Can't go wrong with the fajitas. My favorite thing about this restaurant isn't the food but the service it's that it feels comfortable and homey. They have free Wi-Fi just asked for the code. read more

Martinez Mexican Restaurant & Bar - Taquitos! - Mexican Near Me - Alvin, Texas

When "family run" does not equate to "good experience." No chips on the table until we asked for it Food: good Drinks: good Service: eye contact would be a plus, as would coming by every now and again so we'd not need to track you down to order--as would acknowledging "no salt on the margarita" after more than once Atmosphere/music: nice until the karaoke started. Then, who I assume to be a talentless family grandchild, started singing--and dancing. REPEATEDLY Getting the check: had to ask for it. Then, NOTHING. 20 minutes. NOTHING Meanwhile, they are admitting patrons... Computer is down, which is fine, but for me to have to find that out after 20 minutes of waiting is unacceptable. Once it was back up, I had the receipt basically thrown into my face. I will not be back. read more

Super Duper. Just moved to Alvin and this is the first spot we decided to eat at. The second best choice we made (first was moving to Alvin). Everything about this place is top notch, the decor was nice, the service was excellent and food (bakery included) was delicious. We will definitely will be back. read more

lackadaisical service, sub par food, overly sweet bulk maragaritas, will hesitate to return

Ordered the Tortilla Soup. Very delicious the proportions are good and the prices are reasonable! Must try.

Food is 5 star! Service and such knocked it down a little. Had to wait extra for unknown reasons. 3 of us had shrimp dishes. And I recommend shrimp. I had shrimp bruschette. Bacon wrapped amazing! I will come back if I get the chance. But need to allow time for service. Love it, try it. read more

Good food, Shrimp Soup. Amazing! Great service, friendly. It's the hole in the wall your always looking for.

The service was really friendly and fast. Their food is also really good. I would recommend this place to all my friends. If your ever south of Houston it's a must try. read more

Martinez Mexican Restaurant & Bar - The food here is awesome and really good. I would recommend anyone to stop by and try it out. - Mexican Near Me - Alvin, Texas

This is hands down my favorite place now to eat Mexican food that reminds me of my grandmother's cooking!!!!

The service was extremely slow. Maybe it's not a typical restaurant where a waiter waits on you. When it comes to the atmosphere, the volume on the TVs was loud, and the volume on the country music station was even louder. That was odd and annoying. I cannot comment on the food due to an extreme allergic reaction I had, which was strange considering that has never happened before. The menu advertised drinks that the bartender could not make because the restaurant was out of supplies. That is disappointing when something advertised is not available. The best part about the restaurant was that the staff members were polite. read more

Excellent food. One of my favorite places to go in south Houston. The enchilada sauce is perfect!

Came in for lunch. Food and service was on point. Will keep coming in here. Food was freshly made. You can tell they make everything fresh , not like some restaurants where everything is frozen then thawed. read more

This is a fabulous restaurant. Great Mexican food, delicious drinks, excellent drink specials like 2.50 margaritas, and the owner and staff are awesome! read more

Good authentic Mexican food. No Tex Mex here. Breakfast, lunch or dinner! Good value, too.

Awesome food!!! My company just move here from Houston. We have tried numerous places around Alvin without sucess. Chips and salsa are the bomb!!! This place is good and authentic. My coworker and I stumbled in Martinez's restaurant. We have been back several times for dine in. We also just ordered some caldo for pick up today. Staff is great and friendly! The prices are reasonable too!!! My mouth is watering now. read more

Basing this review on the fact that it's a family owned and operated restaurant I ordered typical Tex-Mex fare. My wife had the big Texas barbacoa burrito and it was excellent. Beer was also cheap and cold. Overall I think it was on pare with most big box Tex-Mex restaurants in the area service was excellent and anticipated our every need I look forward to eating here again and trying more traditional and original dishes. read more

Nastiest Mexican food I've ever had in my life. Service was terrible too. Chips were nasty and the tacos were so salty that we could not even finish them. read more

AWESOME margaritas and drink specials! Their enchiladas are yummy too! The staff has always been great! We enjoy coming here for dinner or to just get a few drinks and some nachos to munch on. read more

For a one horse town (Alvin). This is probably my favorite Mexican spot to have on my lunch break. Come here often and each time the food is good, service could be a little better but prices and quality are decent. Again, this is Alvin we are taking about. Give it a try. read more

Great Fajitas and very friendly service. Their queso was humongous which I really like. The chips and salsa are quite good.

Slow service not waitress fault no owner to greet. The only one to greet who is always great is the waitress the cashier the busboy and I believe her name is purla. It could be way better... read more

The food here is amazing!! The staff is always friendly. Must try the margaritas they are amazing. I love the fajitas. This place is a must try. read more

The mexican bread is really good but the food is ok, beans are always runny! Which tells me if they skimp out on something that is plentiful as beans....I'm scared to know what else they may cut corners on. However it's the yummy homemade flour tortillas that keep me coming back!! read more

This was our first time to try this restaurant, and we will definitely be back. The food was very fresh and both the green and red salsas tasted homemade. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The prices are reasonable and the tortillas fresh. I also like that it is a family run locally owned business. Nothing fancy here, just a comfortable place to enjoy some homemade Mexican food. read more
