We were at the Houston airport changing flights, and needed something easy that I could take with me. Thankfully this place was near our terminal and was able to get one of their sandwiches. For my first time I went with their "original" sandwich which is similar to an italian sandwich. They also had other to-go options like hummus. The sandwich was a little bit pricey but it was expected since we were inside the airport. The staff was great and was able to pay really quick. I wouldn't come back here because of the food, but would do it just out of convenience.

After perusing the menu with helpful and cheerful insights from the chefs I settled on the club sub. The chef, nay, artist, that was crafting my club sub meticulously and carefully arranged every ingredient to the ideal proportions. It was surgical, planned and executed to a standard above excellent. This precision and attention to detail was to a standard above excellent. It was the type of sandwich that would make Patrick Bateman sweat upon inspection. Enough about proportions, lets talk volume. I felt as a young medieval price would - if i asked for turkey, I got a turkey. If I asked for cheese, I got a wheel. Nothing held back, nothing left on the table. My chef gave me the effort of a walk on getting a shot in the championship game - all heart! I got everything he had. For the 6 minutes I was in that establishment I was his everything and he was mine. I know that I am leaving this restaurant a better man than when I arrived. the lessons I learned about work ethic, customer service, and most of all - Love. Love conquers all and I felt loved through this food, this art, this club sub. it was felt in a way that hasn't been felt in years. It was true and real and it was mine. Jersey Mike's gave that to me and I hope everyone can learn something from it. Thanks for taking the time to read my little note! I hope you are blessed enough to be in the greater Houston area and get to experience this location for yourself. Thank you Mike.

I am heartbroken I love the food and the prices. But I was told while trying to order, that because I don't speak Spanish they couldn't help me. I understand this is a Mexican restaurant but shouldn't you service English speaking customers as well as Spanish speaking customers. I didn't know I needed to speak Spanish to order Tex Mex food in an American city. I don't speak Vietnamese, Chinese, Italian, French, or any other languages and I am able to order food from other cultural restaurants. Well now I know my money nor myself is welcome to this business. What a shame. They made me feel very unwelcomed. Again, Heartbroken. read more

My first experience with this place was an ORDEAL and I didn't even get to eat there! They hung a flyer on my door which included coupons and clearly stated "We Deliver!". I decided to give this place a try but I wanted to see what else was on the menu. I went to the website and the location listed on the flyer wasn't even listed as one of their restaurants, nor could I see the menu for any of the restaurants. So, I called the number listed and the "We Deliver!" statement - apparently they only deliver until 7 PM which is basically pointless. There are many other places which are easier to order from. read more

The food is good but not one person in the entire restraunt spoke ENGLISH ,had it not been for two elderly wonderful people my order would have been totally WRONG.
