    Solid food. Good prices. Tasty menudo and friendly service. The mural-covered storefront is a good representation of the neighborhood. The staff is mostly Spanish-speaking, but really tried to bridge the gap.

    This is truly a hidden gem! Location / Interior Unassuming and inconspicuous describe where this establishment sits. There are plenty of seats inside and with COVID-19 they are already distanced. Food So good! We had a barbacoa taco, chilaquiles and menudo. Both were fantastic. The menudo seemed a bit watered down, but even then it was much better than most places around! Pricing For the portion and quality the pricing is reasonable. Service Very attentive set of ladies between the three. The youngest handles the tables and she is always quick to make sure you have everything you need! Overall This place is definitely going to be visited more frequently by us since we are not too far from it. It very much competes with our favorite spot for brunch, but far less seating which makes it less crowded with quicker service. Keep up the fantastic work!

    the inside is reallly cute. very nicely decorated and the service is great. the food was not that great to me tho. it was bland. everything needed more salt than spice. everything did have a good flavor to it tho. it was expensive as hell tho. i would not go back but maybe if you like really spicy and non salty things u would like this place

    Mexican food done the mexican way...best Mexican breakfast so far in Houston...run by a group of ladies that get shit done. Everything fresh....from fresh squeezed oj to homemade corn tortillas.

    I honestly did not know what to expect! My chille relleno came hot, stuffed with beef and potatoes in a pool of potato/tomato salsa. I must admit, despite the fact that I dont like refried beans, these were actually very good! Definitely not Tex-Mex as the natural flavors of the food exude the culinary habits of Cental Mexico/ Costa Rica. This is Authentic Mexican Food at a very reasonable price with a homey feel. Seems to be a local gem. I will return!!!

    Came to this place during my lunch break and I think I found a new favorite spot. Definitely authentic food, it felt like I was at grandmas! I had the carne guisada and it was great. The flour tortillas are good and so is the red salsa. My waitress was the sweetest and took care of me. Def comfort food!

    Homemade tortillas. Huevos rancheros & chorizo bk plate. Delicious strong coffee. The salsa is super spicy so watch out!

Construction…read morein the area is heavy, and quite a bit of traffic, parking was packed, yet we did find a spot close to the door. Service has changed since last I have been here many years ago. In the past they would bring out a bread basket, as a free appetizer like how some mexican restaurants bring out chips and salsa, however, they dont seem to do that here anymore. Service at the table was mediocre, our waitress took our drink order and on the way over, the waitress was spilling the drinks over the floor on the way to our table. After our waitress took our order, my gf did not get the mayo on the side as she had asked, and after we received our food, our waitress never came around to check on us, didn't refill our drinks or anything. The place was very loud, louder than visiting waffle house. I was trying to have a conversation with my gf sitting just across the table from one another, and we were having to literally yell at one another just to hear what each other were saying. My gf did state that the sandwich she ordered was a big sandwich, and was more than she could finish. Once we were ready to go, our waitress still hadn't been around to check on us. So I had to flag down someone else, to get us some to go boxes, and our check. Low and behold, when I was ready to checkout, the waitress appears out of nowhere, after all this time, I'm guessing because she thought she was going to get a good tip. I'm sorry, waitstaff only get a great tip from me, once and if they perform a great job duty, and this was not the case in this matter. Maybe, better luck next time, maybe Papas needs to hire better waitstaff worth hiring and keeping.

On the way to the hotel I…read moresaw the sign "Hot Biscuit" and since biscuits are one of my favorite foods, I decided to walk over and have dinner there. I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.

They had live music on, and from the looks of it if you want to be a part of the show you can as they also have karaoke it looks like. The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and made us feel so welcomed! It wasn't one of those "oh I have to be nice to these guests because I'm getting paid" type people, you could really tell his niceness was genuine. I felt like I was at a fine dining restaurant. Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice. I will definitely go back to this place, as their food, service and overall experience is a great one when you dine in.

We…read moredrove into the mostly defunct strip mall, found the restaurant down on the corner, walked in and sat down and then perused the menu in depth. We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
