I want to give this place less stars so people don't overrun one of my favorite spots in the heights. But I can't the food is too good, the service is to friendly and the vibe is unpretentious and welcoming. Like your going over to your cool tias house. The chilaquiles is great. the breakfast taco are legit. I love the in house made corn tortillas. The wait can be a bit long but that's alright. Go on off hours or order Togo. read more

TLDR: - Limited Parking - Understaffed - Delicious food and drink - Affordable and great pricing I saw this business being recommended in one of the Top Places to try in Houston. Upon arrival, the parking was small and limited. We parked on a side street, but keep in mind this was a Thursday at 1pm, parking was already full. Once heading inside we waited for a couple of minutes and the greeter was also the online order taker, to go order taker and giver and was taking orders online. We were told to sit anywhere we liked and we did, there were about two servers who seemed d extremely busy and rushed. We waited around 10 minutes before given menus and asked for an our drinks. We received our drinks fast and they tasted wonderful, we got the cinnamon coffee and it has tasted better than any other cafe de olla from any Mexican brunch restaurant or cafe. We then proceeded to ordered our food, I ordered chilaquiles en guajillo with two scrambled eggs. My partner ordered el asado de puerco. The food came promptly and tasted amazing ! The prices were great and affordable. This is a must try place with family or as a date! if you do come as a family, make sure all the guests from your parties are there in person, if not they will not seat you. read more

Puebla's gets 5 stars because the food outweighs the few cons of limited seating & parking. Got a beef fajita sope & taco. The sope was perfectly cooked and the meat was flavorful and fresh. I would take a stack of the tortillas home if I could! I love the chip thickness and the salsa was flavorful (and warm!). The service was friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. Love that it didn't take me an hour to eat a quick lunch. read more

First timer here! Went because it was close to my apartment and glad we did! They were very busy for a Tuesday; parking was a bit difficult. Minimal parking up front so have to park on the street. We waited for about 15 minutes and the service was okay, I guess they are overwhelmed but our food came out quickly and it was delicious! We had a sope, children's quesadillas that our toddler devoured, the Gordita and machacado. The food is authentic with homemade corn tortillas which were very good! The restaurant is small with limited seating so expect to wait. Overall we will be returning to try more items! No photos taken this time! read more

Heads up before anything, super limited parking! I went on a Thursday morning luckily I waited a tad bit for a good spot. As we walked in, greeted right away and sat down. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. We had their chips and salsa to begin with. For entrees, I went for a Enmoladas with a fresh agua de limón (very refreshing). As for my sister she had their Chilaquiles rojos with carne asada. My enmoladas were delicious and the rice was made just how I like it. Trying the chilaquiles it was good, but the carne had great flavor. The restaurant was very cute and clean from I can tell. I heard their menudo is top seller and to be there super early because lines form. Can't wait to return! read more

Love, love, love, love, loooooove Puebla's. Breakfast or lunch this is my spot for good fresh food. It's small and loud if you sit inside because it's really a small restaurant filled with charm. If you can get a seat on the small patio, it's a lovely way to spend brunch, breakfast or lunch. Service is friendly and attentive. This place fills up fast because the food and the prices can't be beat. Small menu that is intentional because you can't go wrong with whatever you order. My go to spot. The have parking also. read more

I had 2 different friends recommend Puebla's Mexican Kitchen in the Heights so I had to try it for myself. We went on a Sunday morning and were told the wait would be about 30 minutes, but it ended up being much shorter. The ambiance and decor were very casual and colorful. I LOVED the colorful plates! The staff was warm and friendly even though the food itself took a bit longer to arrive than expected. The prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the barbacoa taco in particular was my favorite. Every bite was mouth-watering. The tostada and crispy taco were also delicious. If there was one miss, it was the chips and sauces. The chips were way too hard, and the salsas were just okay. But aside from that, everything else we tried was excellent. read more

OMG horchata the size of my head! (Pretty sure this is the "Mexican drink" on the menu bc I didn't see the word horchata.) Chilaquiles were excellent and the refried beans it comes with are minimal - heads up bc the beans are GOOD. Chips and salsa were great. Chips look homemade. Very cute little spot! read more

I drive by this place all the time and finally got a chance to stop in last week with some friends for breakfast. The inside is well decorated and has a lot of seating available. Parking lot is small - so you may have to park on a side street depending how busy it is. The service was great and the staff was super friendly. I got the Huevos con Chorizo and Mexican Hot Chocolate. The Huevos con Chorizo were really good with the flour tortillas and were actually pretty filling. The hot chocolate was a perfect drink for a cold day. Overall, the value of the food was great for what we received. I will definitely be back! read more

Always a good spot! Looks like a few updates were done. More seating was added and different decor. They kept same awesome customer service and lovely flavors. As you walk in you are greeted and offer a seat. Cafe de olla or cafe with canela is my fave. Makes you feel at home. All the food is delicious! This time I went with chilaquiles and they did not disappoint. read more

There's an art to choosing your regular breakfast hangout when you live in a place with the cultural diversity of Houston. You want somewhere with an authentically local feel, good coffee, and the kind of menu choices that will keep you coming back to try more. Puebla's hits on every count. First, the vibe. Puebla's is a family place. It's family owned, and once you're a regular, you practically feel like family, yourself. (Seriously, the staff make an effort to remember the names of the folks who come in on a regular basis. It's a really nice touch.) There's a feeling like this is a little home away from home, but the chilaquiles were never this good at your own home. Second, the coffee is honestly good. I'm used to mediocre coffee at a lot of restaurants, but Puebla's does a great Mexican coffee with cinnamon and a nice regular, too, in a mug that is just enormous. I've never needed to ask for a refill. And, third, there's the menu. From chilaquiles to migas to huevos rancheros, Puebla's has the classics covered. You're not gonna find new adventures here, but who wants that first thing in the morning? This is comfort food--the kind H-Town does best--and the atmosphere, the attentive service, and the authenticity make you feel like you're a 40-year native, even if you got here just last month. Puebla's is the real deal. Check it out. read more

Consistently good and friendly service. I opted for the divorced chilaquiles, sauces on the side and an asado se puerco taco. Can't wait til my next visit. read more

Puebla's Mexican Kitchen is my go-to spot for breakfast tacos in the Heights. Their potato, egg, and bean taco on a flour tortilla is always fresh, flavorful, and a great value at $3. The red and green salsas add the perfect kick, and the tortillas have that homemade quality that sets them apart. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere with both indoor seating and a nice outdoor patio. Parking can be limited--there are a few spots in the private lot out front, with additional spaces behind the restaurant and some street parking nearby. Consistently great food, friendly service, and solid breakfast tacos make this one of the better spots in the area. Highly recommended! read more

Puebla's Mexican Kitchen has some of the best breakfast tacos in the Heights. Their potato, egg, and bean taco on a flour tortilla is always fresh and flavorful, and the red and green salsas bring just the right amount of heat and balance.

Though me and my family have dined here a couple of times and enjoyed Puebla's food. Our experience on the 18th ruined this spot for me. We had asked for a table of six, four of us at the restaurant and two on the way. While we were waiting for the last two, the manager came to us and told us we would be unable to order until the whole party was sat. We told her it would still be some time until they arrived, plans are never perfect, and she said we would have to get up and wait for a party of 4. I understand weekends are busy, but that isn't a way to treat people trying to enjoy breakfast with family. Definitely needs new management. read more

First time trying this breakfast spot. I had the chilaquiles with the red salsa and it good just needed some salt. I had added the green salsa and that was GOOD and HOT. The service was good and fast. I would come back and try the mole enchiladas for lunch time: read more

Arrived open minded. Parking was a hassle. They have like 5 spaces and the rest of the parking is along the street in front of townhomes. Super packed, waited 45 minutes to be seated, just to see that a couple that arrived 20 minutes after us was already getting chips and drinks. WE WERE HERE FIRST. Restaurant crowded not a lot of seating. People seated outside were flooded with rain good thing we didn't sit out there. Still upset and finally when we were seated they were out of horchata. So we had to settle for a different drink. This is all before we even got our food. read more

My first and last time coming here, i wanted to try it. I arrive to the restaurant and i get a table for me and my child , & my brother calls me and says he's down the road he can join me. I tell the waiter hey my brother is coming give him 5 min literally maybe less. He gets upset tells me we cant hold tables and then I try to order his food, and he tells me no wait till he comes he was on his lunch break so that held us back more. Overall i felt like i wasn't treated right, my server never came back to ask us if we needed anything. Not coming back. There rules are stupid read more

We were seated in the back table, which is a bit unfortunate since the speaker is blaring pretty loud music. However there were a lot to love about the food. Moderately priced, the Desayuno menu looked amazing. Eventually went with the breakfast torta, which consisted of scrambled eggs and chorizo/bacon wrapped in a perfectly made bolillo roll with a slightly crunchy crust but with an airy soft interior. It was absolutely perfect. We received adequate service while we were there at breakfast. But then I actually forgot my copy of my receipt, and the man who answered went above and beyond to find my check and text it over to me (calling me to make sure I received it afterwards). And that was during a busy lunch hour. Definitely coming back here soon to try some migas. Houston's got a good place for Mexican breakfast! Puebla's has rightfully been considered one of the top 100 spots in all of Houston. read more

I would rate 3.8 Customer service was great. Pretty cute place, they have indoor and outdoor seating. During busy hours parking might be a little difficult . Food was OK had the breakfast Gordita egg with machacado . Pricing is very affordable inexpensive read more

Wow!!! Best Mole sauce I've ever had and I've had a lot in my years. The service is very friendly and prompt. Food was very fresh, hot and delicious! The entire restaurant was very clean including the restroom. Ample parking in front and back. The chips and salsa were on point and fresh! They also provide a red and green sauce in squeeze bottles. For tacos I suppose but I tasted each one on a chip...both very good with some bite. I will definitely return soon. read more

My friend and I stumbled on this restaurant in search of lunch. We had walked to Mamaka for açaí bowls that morning and did a Target run. Needless to say, we were hungry. We wanted to try something new around our area. This was literally down the street via car. Parking is limited in the front, but you can also park on the side street next to the restaurant. We came in, and it was packed for a late lunch after 1 pm. There are about 12 small tables that can seat 4 people each. The dining area is small and narrow. I like the colorful decor. It was over 100 degrees out and was still warm inside, as well. Chips & salsa: The chips are on the thicker side. Salsa was ok. Needed some acidity and salt. Enchiladas Rojas: I added fajita for an extra $4. I'm so glad I did. The meat is cubed and cooked well. It was tender and easy to eat with a fork. The guajillo chile sauce was delicious. It added so much flavor and color to the dish. The rice itself was seasoned well and tasted good. The refried beans were bland on its own but paired with the saltiness of the enchiladas, it helped cut through. Service was excellent. The food options and prices for breakfast and lunch are so affordable for the quality and authenticity. Come support a local restaurant! read more

Difficult to go wrong here - anything on their breakfast, taco or main menu. Try the mole or just fried eggs with something extra. Excellent, authentic home made salsa. As inexpensive as they come for a full serve restaurant. Smiling waitstaff and owners. Still have free chips & salsa - unlike some unmentionable names in HTown! No beer, mostly a breakfast / brunch/ lunch place. Parking maybe a little challenging- worth the struggle read more

We just discovered this spot in the neighborhood, and we are sad to be so late to the game, but we had such a lovely breakfast here. Inside feels so cozy and like I'm in Mexico; it's extremely casual and laid back. The service was a little bit slow but everyone was kind and had a positive attitude. You may be asked to take a pager to wait for a spot, or directed to seat yourself at an open table. It's better for smaller groups but there's a possibility of pushing some tables together for a larger party if needed. Parking is a little scarce but there's a small lot in the front and back. I believe street parking nearby is an option - we didn't have a problem at all with this though. The offerings are classic and very affordable - we were so pleasantly surprised. I recommend their corn tortillas as they are fresh and handmade! I got the huevos con machacado a la mexicana, and my husband got the enchiladas. Both were so full of yummy flavor and were complemented perfectly by the accompaniments: delicious refried beans and salsa for the eggs, and queso fresco with rice and refried beans for the enchiladas. I wished there was a spicier salsa option, but the mild red salsa was delicious. We are looking forward to returning - we really liked it here and left full. read more

I discovered Pueblo's by accident a few years ago while visiting the local farmers market in Houston. We were searching for breakfast, and it was one of the few places open in the area. Parking can be a bit limited, with small lots in front and back, but there's street parking available in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. Every time we visit, we're greeted warmly by the cashier or staff. The décor is vibrant and fun, featuring Mexican cultural elements like luchadores and sugar skulls, which adds to the authentic atmosphere. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. While we usually sit inside, on this visit we enjoyed the beautiful weather and chose to sit outside. Though the view includes parked cars, the ambience was still enjoyable. My go-to order is the chorizo and potato burrito, but I've tried several variations, and they're all great! The cinnamon coffee is also a must. In addition to our favorites, we like to try something new with each visit. This time, we ordered the Chilaquiles--corn tortillas cut into quarters, lightly fried, topped with tomatillo salsa, queso fresco, and served with refried beans. We added eggs and skipped the sour cream and onions, which is usually included. The dish was delicious! Service is always spot-on, and the food never disappoints. Pueblo's Mexican Kitchen has become our go-to breakfast spot when we're in the mood for tasty, authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend! read more

Man!!!! I love when I find these local spots! The place is a cute little spot it reminded me the "fondas" in Mexico City or Puebla (hence the name) . Menu has different food options I came for breakfast HD the machaca (specialty from chihuahua Mexico) and since I was craving Gorditas I ordered one (Gordita is basically a corn pita fried and you can put anything inside usually a meat dish and some lettuce cheese and tomato). And chicharrón is basically pork belly cooked on a green sauce (made usually with jalapeños and green tomatillo). When I tell you the first bite of that Gordita took me back to my childhood and my teenage years in Mexico eating at those fondas and it's like a warm hug! The hot chocolate could've been better but I give it to them because it came on a nice cup and it had whipping cream (the actual drink was watered down) still pretty enjoyable. Prices can't beat it! So you can have a decent home made Mexican breakfast for less than $10 Btw don't expect complementary chips and salsa like some Mexican spots in order for them to keep the good prices they charge if you want that . Seems reasonable to me And the lady who was serving my food was the sweetest and kind made me feel like home. ********ORDER THE CHICHARRÓN GORDITA you'll see heaven ******* read more

I ordered the sopes de fajita yesterday, 1 hour before closing. Picked up my food, carne lettuce beans cheese everything was all over the plate EXCEPT ON THE SOPES never have they given me my food like that. Fajita was super hard. Ended up getting food poisoning from something there since that was my only meal of the day as well as for my coworker. Kinda upset since the food from there has always been pretty good. read more

Service was outstanding. had the Gorditas with a side of breakfast tacos. Mmmm they were delicious, just the right amount of crispy and not too soft. Refried beans were delicious.

Delicious green chicken enchiladas, and for me, the perfect amount of cheese, which is actually very little. I enjoy this although I am guessing others do prefer a more cheesier melty vibe. A slight scattering of cotija cheese is perfect. I have to tell you about this green sauce they serve in a squeezed bottle. It's delicious. I covered everything with it the chips the beans the rice the enchiladas. I couldn't get enough it is hot spicy but in a very good way. If I had a purse with me I would probably try to take the squeeze bottle home with me. Okay maybe not but I would consider it. It reminds me of a poblano sauce I've had on some crepes before which were really good. I'm going to have to try to figure out how to make this because it is delicious Anyway, the prices are very good here food is delicious The only bad thing was parking. I'm pretty sure that's everything down. in this area but just keep that in mind. I already had to give up on eating at another restaurant because of parking in this area so I was happy to get here and find a place in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. Service was great, food arrived promptly. Definitely recommend, and still wish I had a purse. read more

I'm shook by the amount and quality of food considering low prices!! I got brunch with some friends and this place was packed--there was a waitlist. The service was excellent and they did really well to accommodate our 13-person party. It was busy so the food took a bit to come out, but it was worth the wait. The atmosphere is super festive and good for groups. But if you have a big group during a busy time, you'll likely have to wait. I got two egg and potato gorditas and loved it. The total price for my meal was $7 and the two gorditas were filling! I need to be back to try the tortas and other offerings. Parking situation: on-site but limited; might need to do street parking during busy times read more
