    Ambiance was amazing and service was communicative and speedy. The prices are right for the portions of the food, especially the appetizers. Would come here again!

    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Matt H.

    We were driving by and thought the place looked pretty cool from the outside. It was a little early for dinner (4pm) but decided to stop anyway. There weren't a ton of people but, like I said, it was early. We were greeted and seated right away. The dining room was very nice and clean, and the music was at a perfect level. Nikki (sp?) was incredible. Very attentive and informative. When she found out it was our first visit she offered to walk through the menu with us and she pointed out both the most popular and her favorite dishes. I had the puffy tacos with rice and charro beans. My wife had the chicken tortilla soup. We split a margarita flight. My wife couldn't stop talking about how much she loved the soup. While the tacos were good, they were VERY messy to eat. I probably wouldn't order those again or, if I did I would just eat them with a fork. The Ben's were fantastic. Great flavor with a bit of spice. The Margrit flight was great. The presentation was fun. The pineapple was my wife's fav while I loved the mango. We will ABSOLUTELY be back to try the fajitas and we will definitely ask for Nikki!!

    Owner Cisco w my mom getting a thumbs up on their fajitas!

    The food was excellent as always I actually had a chance to try the portobello fajitas and they did not disappoint. My mom had the "real" fajitas - beef & told me several times how she has been telling everyone that these are the ABSOLUTE BEST FAJITAS ever!!! The service was just as wonderful - we sat over by the bar w Marce as our server. He was great, but we also had multiple other people check in on us. Huge kudos on the service! Also had a chance to see the owner Cisco & chat w the trainer Aliana. Great evening! Always wonderful when mom is

    8 oz beef fajitas
    April K.

    We went for 1/2 off fajitas on Thursday evening. I ordered mine medium rare. When they came out there was no sizzling hot plate and mine was cooked rare. Granted, I would rather have it under cooked than over so I did not send them back. The flavor was good but the green bell pepper flavor was a little over powering. I ordered a Grey Goose martini and was charged 15.99 plus a 3.99 adder. I'm accustomed to Woodlands pricing but that was an over the top cost. The redeeming factor in my visit was the good service.

    I'm not sure how anyone eats a full meal here without being rolled out of the place. We wondered why everyone was leaving with to-go bags. The riddle was solved when we received our meal- the portions are HUGE! In addition to the portion size, the restaurant has a lot of personality! With witty sayings on the wall, and creative decor, the vibe feels inviting. We tried the spicy pineapple margarita, cucumber mint margarita, poblano queso blanco, taco salad, beef and chicken fajitas, and the tres leches trio. Of those mentioned, the cucumber mint margarita was refreshing, followed by the chicken offered in the fajita chicken. Unfortunately, the tortillas did not feel made in house and the poblano queso blanco had a pudding/baked Brie texture. Offered with chicharron, we instead chose tortilla chips, so it's possible the dish is improved when eaten as intended. Apart from the food, it seems like they're still getting in the flow of things, training and working on offering that 5 star service (lots of mixups and waiting in our service). Give them a little time, I'm sure they'll get there!

    Churros
    Gina N.

    My family and I came here after church for Sunday Brunch, and one thing is clear: this place leans heavily into the "TEX" side of Tex-Mex. The portions were generous, and we really enjoyed the Flauta Tower--it was definitely the highlight of our meal. The tacos were also tasty, but there's room for improvement in the little details that elevate a dish. One thing we all noticed was the absence of limes, which are essential for Tex-Mex dishes, especially tacos. Small touches like a lime wedge could have elevated most of the dishes tbh. Another miss was the lack of spicy options. When I asked for something to add some heat to my tacos, the only option was Cholula--no spicy salsa or peppers, which seemed odd for a Tex-Mex restaurant. For dessert, we ordered the churros, but they fell short of expectations. While the churros themselves were decent, the chocolate sauce was disappointing--it had the consistency of water. As for the service, our server was friendly but seemed a bit forgetful, making multiple trips back and forth to fulfill our requests. While the service wasn't bad, it felt like the staff might still be getting the hang of things. Overall, this place has potential. It's new, seems to be ironing out the kinks. With a few additions/adjustment like limes and offering more spice options--it could become a solid Tex-Mex go-to.

    Mexican taco pizza
    Shanna P.

    Wow! We absolutely loved our experience at Nacho Padres. I know there's no kid menu on the actual menu, but they do have one (includes tenders if you have a kid that needs that). I ordered the Mexican taco pizza and it was the best thing I have ever ordered. Not a joke. It's gigantic. The beef was not ground beef it was wonderful. The margarita flight was also divine. Our server was personable, attentive, and kind. She didn't skip a single beat. We didn't want for anything at a table of 5 and my mother in law is incredibly picky. Somehow she was wooed. 10 outta 10 would recommend again and again. I'll be back and I'm SO looking forward to it.

    Spicy Jalapeño Margarita and the Renfro Margarita
    Adrienne C.

    We started off having the Padres Nachos, which was amazing. We went on a Thursday, so the nachos were on HH and so were the margaritas. The food was super quick and the service was excellent. By the time, I finished the appetizer, I was full. The shrimp tacos came, and they did not disappoint! I got the tacos with charro beans. Great place for good Tex mex food!

    Very flavorful and tasty! Service-10 Ambiance-9 Food-7 Only because everything was spicy to me! Otherwise it's delicious--very good guacamole & chips ! I'd go back again but I'll order the fajitas --the chicken enchiladas were delicious but too spicy! Gave to sister! Ribs were tasty too

    Island Grill - Wild Codfish Pita

    If looking for a quick, clean spot to pick up some food roll into Island Grill!…read more Needed a breakfast bite so I ordered up one chorizo and one bacon breakfast taco. Tacos were very tasty and fresh with great tasting ingredients. I liked them so much I went the next day. And I'll be back again before we leave town. Nice people, fast service.

    I visited this restaurant in City Place one week night and found it to be fairly busy…read more Unfortunately I had just eaten Mediterranean food the night before so I was worried I would only see similar food. Actually, they have a good size menu and have some American options along with juices and smoothies so It made ordering easy. They also have a full bar with several cocktails and mocktails. Inside right when you enter is the actual bar with about 6 seats which were full with customers during my entire visit. Their happy hour ends at 6pm, but I arrived at 7pm so I ended up missing the discounted drinks. I ordered the cod and shrimp pita which ended up being slightly different than the regular gyro. I had to set it down after a couple of bites since the wheat pita bread is much thinner than regular pita bread and it kept falling apart on me. I also added a mango mojito. With a name like Island Grill, I sort of expected to see more tropical drinks or rum-based cocktails show up on the menu, but this was about the only one. Overall, my experience was okay, but I don't know if it was good enough for me to return.
