    12 INCH BREAKFAST BURRITO
    Germanie J.

    We placed an order via phone for pickup. We ordered 2 breakfast burritos, 1 all the way and the other customized with just bacon, egg, cheese, and beans. We picked up the order and when we arrived home the order was incorrect. I called the store to explain the error and was told they would remake it. We returned to the store and picked up the remade order. The burritos were very large, tortillas taste homemade and were really good, the ingredients were fresh; potatoes, beans, pico, cheese all paired well. Overall we were please with the flavor, quality, and them remaking our food.

    Spicy Jalapeño Margarita and the Renfro Margarita

    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!

    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!

    Small chicken tortilla soup
    Sabrina P.

    For starters, the salsa was thin and it was difficult to eat it without it dripping off the chip and onto the table, but the flavor was good. Chips were ok. I order chicken tortilla soup often at new restaurants and never found one that I didn't like until Nacho Padres. For starters the small was ridiculously tiny and less than a regular small cup or bowl. My spoon took up the whole cup. There was one slice of chicken and it had a piece of skin or fat on it. The broth was salty and overpowered with a pepper flavor (my guess would be chipotle or abobo). I stopped eating it after a few bites because it was just gross to me. I also split fajitas with my husband and they came out warm, not the nice hot steaming effect you get w freshly grilled fajitas at many places. They were ok, but for the price ($36) for 8 oz, not worth it. There were a few people there for brunch - maybe the brunch is better, but our lunch experience was they the food could be better. If I could give 2.5 I would, but when choosing between a 2 and 3, the food made it closer to 2 for me.

    Chicken Tortilla Soup

    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!!

    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.

The complimentary chips and salsa were good. We took advantage of their happy hour for drinks. We each had a Cadillac margarita which was pretty good. My friend and I chose the Marisco bowl. I chose the meat combo of chicken/steak and she chose the chicken Marisco bowl. My other friend had the chicken quesadillas. The food was fresh, but in my opinion lacked flavor. I loved the prices of Gringos, but did not like my dish as much. My friends enjoyed their meals. As the night went on the restaurant became full. They have complimentary ice cream and cones for dessert that patrons get themselves. When we attempted to partake, the cones were gone and the station was messy from patrons not cleaning up after themselves. I would return to this location again and try a different dish. I would also recommend this business to others for decent happy hour drinks and food.

To be fair, it is my own fault because I tried El Mariachi a year or two ago and thought it was gross then. However, I know everywhere deserves a second chance so I thought I'd give it another try, especially when I saw it had such a high average rating. Let me first say, service is INCREDIBLE. Truly could not ask for better. The hostess was really sweet and she stayed kind even when I could tell she was overwhelmed by all the people. We had multiple servers come by to check on us at various times and do things for us and they were all great too. Absolutely 0 staff complaints. I ordered a watermelon margarita and couldn't drink it. The syrup was completely separated from the actual drink. I left it completely full and while I didn't want to complain, I was surprised that I wasn't asked if it was okay. Had I been asked, I would've told them. My husband thought his house margarita was good, but he did order it frozen and it was already half liquid by the time he got it. The food was not good. I took one bite of my beef taco and pushed it to the side. It was essentially Taco Bell meat. No shade to Taco Bell, but if I wanted that, I would've just gone to T Bell. It sure would've been a lot cheaper. My cheese enchiladas were also not good. I asked to have sour cream sauce on top & was charged $2 for it. I wasn't told I'd be charged extra and didn't see anywhere on the menu where it said that. Even so, $2 for sauce is crazy, but $2 for sauce when the enchilada ALREADY comes with sauce on top and all you had to do was replace it?? Wild. The queso was okay. Not amazing, not bad. It's the only thing I was able to eat. Not my personal experience, but two tables in our same section had issues with their food too and had to send it back. $85 for that is crazy. I'm glad so many seem to enjoy it, but El Mariachi will never see me again.

There are plenty of staff and they all work unison to bring drinks / chips / salsa / refills / orders / food -- and that food usually comes out before I can feel guilty for eating chips, salsa, and queso. I found this trick that works for me. Since I 100% of the time feel guilty for leaving the place feeling so full, I started parking on the other end of the parking lot. This allows my to burn off 2.7 calories of the food that just ate so I feel 2.7 percent less guilty. On a serious note - this place is the real deal. While some of my previous favorites have either closed down or gone downhill a bit - Julio's has remained strong. ¡Salud!

Because my Dad was a coffee/tea delivery man and when I was a child he use to take me on Saturdays to run his route. We visited several Luby's Cafeteria's where he made sure the dispensers were clean and that they were making the tea properly. He showed me how he used the brushes to clean the tubes, dispenser handle and used special cleaning material on the inside. It makes a difference if your tea dispenser is clean... have I convinced you yet? Wow that was a rant! The bottom line is they have great iced tea!
