I shared my disappointment & was told to simply ask for them. It worked! I received the perfectly thick & crunchy house made chips with my queso. I say their queso blows away that at Pappasitos. On this visit I had a $5. Mai Tai. I was impressed on the quality of the drink & that they didn't skimp on the rum. I had the chicken tikka masala for the 1st time. It blew me away! It had huge chucks of chicken & plenty of it w/ excellent flavor. I definitely will be returning. Thank you Fusion Taco for being responsive & a yummy birthday meal!

I discovered La Reynera Bakery after attending the FIFA World Cup Fan Festival in EaDo. I had…read moreparked at a nearby METRO Park & Ride garage and noticed this bakery on my drive out, so I decided to stop in and give it a try. The bakery has a small parking lot in front and specializes in Mexican breads and pastries. The employee who helped us was incredibly friendly, and we even chatted for a bit about the World Cup match that was being played that day. I was hoping to find buñuelos, but they didn't have any available. Instead, I tried a similar sugar-coated pastry for $1.50. It was a bit dry for my taste, but that's simply my personal preference. One tip: check the far left side of the counter for the day-old bakery section. They package two pastries together for just $1, making it a great value if you don't mind buying day-old baked goods. They also serve hot breakfast in the mornings, although it wasn't available during my afternoon visit. If you're in the East End area and craving authentic Mexican pastries, La Reynera Bakery is worth a stop. The prices are very reasonable, the staff are welcoming, and the discounted bakery section makes it easy to try a variety of treats without spending much.

We stopped by this neighborhood Mexican bakery after visiting the FIFA Fan Fest because we were…read morecraving buñuelos. Unfortunately, we didn't see them on the display case. Since we don't speak Spanish, we picked a pastry that caught our eye. It cost just $1. We were expecting something crisp, but it turned out to have a soft, sugar-cookie-like texture with sugar sprinkled on top. It wasn't bad--just different from what we had anticipated. The bakery also offers tacos, other savory items, and a selection of drinks, but we weren't in the mood for a full meal during this visit. We usually like to get orejas (palmier-style pastries), but we skipped them this time. Overall, it's a small, clean neighborhood Mexican bakery with a nice selection of baked goods and drinks.

Real talk, Burganic Hub lowkey surprised me. On DoorDash I dropped my usual notes: double cheeseburger, beef bacon, American cheese, no tomatoes, no onions (we not doing all that), pickles and lettuce on the side. Most spots usually fumble my custom orders but they actually read it, & executed it clean. This let me know they pay attention to detail! That beef? Certified halal, flavor on point , you could taste the quality. Juicy, well-seasoned, cooked like somebody's pops with the slippers on & Bluetooth in his ear been holding down the grill for years. The beef bacon? Straight Smackin and flavor never lackin The sides? Fries hit crispy, not no soggy nonsense. Them potatoes tasted like they were grown fresh from someone garden. The Mozzarella sticks pulled like they supposed to eat fresh out the oil, no heat lamps involved. That type of freshness you only get when a spot respects their craft. I eat a lotta burgers, and this one? Definitely up there. If you serious about your food and you want it done proper, then pull up! Certified fasho.

The taqueria cart / truck scene in Houston is among the city's most ubiquitous food options, which…read moremight be why Taqueria Tacambaro is both popular and overlooked at the same time. Located primarily near the parking lot of the Houston Farmer's Market, they're a solid destination for street side Mexican without the pretension. Tacos isn't the the only barometer, but it's a way to start. Admittedly I'm not a huge fan of the shredded lettuce with tacos (#1) but the meats are almost always the star of the show. I'm pleased to see that they utilize a number of beef cuts from the Houston-centric fajita (#2), asada, and even bistec. The latter was a tad saltier than I would have liked, which was really more of a cecina (salted). I don't have high opinions on the chicken (pollo) and pork (pastor), which I find to be some of the most boring choices on the menu. What Tacambaro really excels at is the rest of the parts: tripa (tripe), lengua (tongue), chicharron (rinds), buche (belly) and mollejas (sweetbreads). The latter was the real surprise and I can see why so many locals would want to come here for it. The mollejas are crispy, delightful, and full of flavor. With their tortillas and a little kick of the salsa, I can see how along with chicharron and lengua can become a specialty place in a hurry. It's not all rosas in this cart. Sometimes they're a bit in a rush and a lot of times the cart isn't actually around during its open hours. While it's supposedly open till 3pm, I've seen it gone just after lunch time. Even when it it is open, some of those choices are sold out in addition to some of the most expensive. Tacos are not the end-all, but I do appreciate their versatility with creating tortas, gorditas, flautas, and quesadillas. It's a cash only business to my knowledge and there are ATMs in the market, as well as places to sit. I would always make the effort to patronize Tacambaro, and hope any more do. __________ (#1) Tacos dorado? Fine. Maiz taco that's barely grilled? Eh. (#2) Native Houstonian, please explain why "fajitas" are on every taco truck please. I beg of you.

Roasty Chicken is a small, no-frills spot sharing a building with a Shell gas station. There are a…read morefew private parking spots out front, but most of the lot is shared with the gas station, so expect to see people pumping gas nearby. When I arrived, there were homeless individuals camping outside, and some even came into the restaurant asking for food. Inside, the space is quite small, with only two tables, making it clear that this place primarily caters to takeout orders. The owner, originally from the Dominican Republic, was friendly and mentioned they've been in business for about three years, with most of their sales coming from DoorDash. Their most popular item is the Roasty Combo (a whole chicken, large rice, large beans, and tortillas for $24.99). I was also interested in their Sweet Fried Plantains, but they were out, so I went with Salchipapa ($4.49) and Steamed Mix Vegetables ($3.79) instead. After bringing the food home, my wife and I dug in. The chicken was okay, but it tasted overly salty. Some chicken pieces, particularly the breast, were very dry. The Salchipapa lacked flavor, and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't particularly memorable either. My favorite part of the meal was the green spicy sauce, which added a nice kick and helped elevate the chicken. Overall, it was okay. I'm glad I tried it, and the owner was very nice.

He told me it's mostly a takeout joint with just a couple of tables, and the owner, originally from the Dominican Republic, was very welcoming. He also mentioned that the area had some homeless individuals outside and even inside the restaurant asking for food. I didn't visit the place myself--I only got to try the food at home. We had the Roasty Combo (a whole chicken with rice, beans, and tortillas), along with Salchipapa ($4.49) and Steamed Mix Vegetables ($3.79). The chicken itself wasn't terrible, but it was saltier than I prefer, and certain pieces, especially the breast, turned out pretty dry. The Salchipapa didn't have much seasoning, so it tasted a little bland. The steamed vegetables were nothing out of the ordinary--just simple, standard veggies. What I did enjoy was the green spicy sauce, which had a great kick and made the chicken a lot more enjoyable.

Service was was A1, the guy taking our order was also cooking so for him to had been busy and taking orders, the smile he gave was reassuring he could handle himself. He also made sure he gave me the biggest piece of cake Shoutout to him for that!!!! Now what y'all are really waiting for.... The food review. We ordered: Shroom Tacos (3) - 8.5/10 because they skimpy. It came with chopped white onions and limes on the side. The problem was there was an upcharge for oyster mushrooms but wasn't filled up with the mushrooms. I shouldn't bite into a taco and end up with just tortilla. And the limes were dry. However, the flavor of the tacos were A1. Chicken Chikn Alfredo sub Oyster Mushrooms- 7.5/10 because NO EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR. It was INSIPID. However, the noodles were cooked well, sauce was saucin' and they didn't skimp on the mushrooms in this dish. BUT they could've gave more pasta as a whole, it really wasn't much in there. Philly Steak Sub sub Oyster Mushrooms with KORNY SAUCE- 7/10. It lacked flavor AND there was barely enough mushrooms for how big the sandwich bread was. There was plenty onions and peppers which were cooked well but that's not what we were looking forward to. In addition, we couldn't even tell whether there was KORNY sauce added to it or not. Cookies and Cream Milkshake- 7/10. It was pretty good. Nothing special. Had a good consistency and flavor. German Chocolate Cake- 5.5/10. The cake itself was cooked well and really good. The icing which was coconut and something else wasn't very appetizing or appealing nor was it sweet. It was cold but we prefer our cakes room temperature. Overall, we would go back for the shroom tacos and probably try something else. They did have a very extensive menu. So I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others to try for themselves.

I almost let the Yelp…read morereviews discourage me, but as someone who enjoys sharing honest feedback, I wanted to experience it for myself. I'm visiting from Florida on a work trip, so I'll keep it brief. The interior could use some updated furniture, but honestly, it didn't take away from the experience. The AC worked well, and it was comfortable inside. The concrete floors might come across as "unfinished" or even dirty at first glance, but it felt more like part of the place's hip, industrial vibe. It's an older building with plenty of character. The person who took our order was very friendly and offered great recommendations. We tried the steak tacos, okra bites, and taquitos and everything was absolutely delicious. Don't let the negative reviews steer you away. We're glad we gave it a shot, it was definitely worth it!!!!
