    La comida sabe buenosimo les invito que venga , the food taste good I invite y'all to come promise ya will like it

    Mashed Potatoes

    Unfortunately, we didn't have a good experience. Our grilled chicken tasted burnt and was dry on the inside. The chicken was really bad. Perhaps we got a bad or old batch, but it was definitely a disappointment. We also ordered a 12 piece and we're shortly an entire piece of chicken. The sides were not all that great either. Not a fan.

    3 piece combo with cole slaw, rice, and roll.

    I don't know if it's the childhood memories or what but I love this place. The chicken does taste good in my opinion. Only problem I have with them is the inconsistency, one day it'll be good then the next it'll be dry and gross. Their drinks selection is good, I had their mango/peach juice and it was great, not too sweet not too bland. They have great coleslaw and the rice tasted good, but was basically burnt. The roll is just a regular roll so nothing fancy there. The fries and yuca sticks were great. I would def return, maybe not cause it's THAT good but because it brings me back to my childhood.

    So this place is ok, the food looks better than it taste. We ordered the 3-4 fried chicken Family meal with mashed potatoes and fries. Also ordered some camperitos they are boneless wings and came with a side of your choice we got the corn salad and they come with a sauce buffalo or some others like honey mustard. So the chicken is good has great crust but the flavor is a little different, and the fries are great. The rest was so different tasting, the original recipe is in Guatemala and this is just the generic version of it. The buffalo sauce had way to much vinegar flavor to it. The mashed potatoes were bland, chunky and tasteless no bueno. The corn salad was gross but my husband and son liked it. It had like pumpkin seeds , tomatillo , cheese and roasted corn. Sounds good but it wasn't. It's a new location so it's pretty and in a nice area. The service was awful , everyone ignored us, people didn't know what they were doing. I guess it was training day or something. This was my experience not great. But hopefully yours is better.

    3 piece traditional + yucca fries + plantains

    I don't know if it was because of a disappointing dinner at the place across the street but my family and I had to get a taste as we walked by this interesting establishment. Halfway full, hubby and I ordered the 3 piece fried chicken with sweet plantains and yucca fries. My kids had the cinnamon sticks. We enjoyed every bite of the tasty super crispy chicken and both sides. Very eager to come back and try their grilled chicken and empanadas.... And more fried chicken. Don't forget to check in for a free Latin drink. Mix the mango and guava together!

    New favorite coffee/study spot in Houston! This place is (I…read morethink?) in Montrose area, and a gem with parking both in front (with spaces) and street parking available. The baristas/servers are so friendly, and the shop truly feels homey. Perfection for studying, with inside ample tables/chairs with nearby outlets as well as some comfy chairs and a couch. There's also a cute covered outside area which I'm sure I'll experience post summer time. They have a few yummy looking food options at a great price point - including tamales and baked pastries. I picked the chicken tamale as a light lunch - I got the most delicious chicken tamale I've had thus far, served with kettle crinkle chips and a tamale sauce to dip. There are many coffee/non coffee options. I opted for the iced horchata latte - agree with prior reviewers that this is delish. It is not too sweet and a great blend of vanilla and cinnamon that masks the espresso. The atmosphere here is cozy but focused, with a mixture of people working/studying and hanging out. 10/10 will be back.

It is in a home-like structure with quirky furniture, but it makes me feel very much at home. The workers are also super nice and accommodating. The coffee is very reasonably priced and delicious. I always get their Horchata Latte---it is a perfect level of sweetness and the cinnamon complements the espresso perfectly (and it's only $5.50)! They have a variety of other drinks and pastries too, that I haven't been able to try. I highly recommend coming to study/catch up with a friend. There's a lot of coffee shops in the Montrose area but this has been one of my favorite.

We couldn't eat the fish even though we asked for extra lime so we can squeeze on it. The shrimps dish was over cooked so the shrimps were too dry.

    Mykuna is a Peruvian restaurant located in Railway Heights. I've checked it out twice. Part of what…read morereally excited me about Mykuna is that it's from the same chef as Andes Cafe, a restaurant that closed down several years ago. They now have an outpost at Post, another food hall. I was also excited because it's Peruvian food---in my opinion, one of the most underrated cuisines out there. I ordered the lomo saltado which is a classic Peruvian dish. Take some stir fry beef in a delicious brown sauce, add white rice and fries, and there you have it. The meat was tender, the fries soaked up the saucy goodness, and the rice was, well, rice. I will say Mykuna is a little pricier than I expected. Even their soft drinks cost more than you would think. With that being said, they have Inca Cola which is a Peruvian soda. I ate half of my food and brought the rest back to work. When I was leaving work, I was walking to my car and accidentally dropped my to-go box on the concrete. The lomo saltado spilled all over the ground. What a fail on my part. Delicious leftovers no more.

    We stumbled upon this restaurant purely by accident. My family and I ended up at Railway Heights…read moreMarket/Food hall for a yelp event at Croff'd (a waffle croissant restaurant downstairs) and afterward found ourselves in need of a dinner plan. We decided to go with Mykuna, which is marketed as a Latin Asian fusion restaurant. However, based on what we ended up ordering was definitely more Asian heavy. We ordered 3 items (two mains and a starter) which was plenty of food for two adults and a toddler. The salmon sashimi starter was a little underwhelming, so don't expect same level quality as a dedicated sushi restaurant. The tonkatsu ramen was a good size portion and very tasty, though will say the flavor is more on the non-traditional side. We also ordered a friend chicken dish which was a special of the day, which was def the star of the show- though I can't remember the name of it. The staff was friendly and the food took about 15min to come out, which was an appropriate wait. There is a bar directly across the way so we had a couple beers while we waited and sat outdoors on the shaded patio area. Overall we had a great time. We probably won't make a special trip to come back here, but I'd eat here again if I'm in the area.

    I finally had the pleasure of checking out Tex-Chick Eatery, a family-owned Puerto Rican restaurant…read morethat's been serving the community since 1982 and is now lovingly run by Titi Marilu and Grace. From the moment I stepped into this cozy spot, I instantly felt like I was back home in Puerto Rico. Just like our island, it's small, but filled with a huge heart. We spent time chatting with them about our families, childhood memories, and how happy we are that they've kept our culture alive right here in the Montrose area of Houston. We enjoyed a true Puerto Rican feast: arroz con gandules, pernil, mofongo con camarones al ajillo, pollo frito, empanadas de yuca y masa, flan de coco, limber de guanábana, and of course, more food to take home because we couldn't have it all at once! My personal favorite were the limbers with traditional flavors I don't recall ever having a limber outside of PR. This is a counter-service eatery, where you can see all the freshly prepared dishes right in front of you. You truly can't ask for better service; if there's something you're craving that's not in the menu for that day and they have time, they'll gladly make it for you! That's the kind of love and care you only find in places that cook from the heart. Prices are very reasonable although parking can be a bit tricky but that's mostly all of Montrose. Let's keep our culture thriving. s Support our local Puerto Rican businesses. WEEPA!
