    Chicken and steak fajitas
    Sean C.

    I was in Houston for one week, on business ended up going to this Ruchis restaurant three times in that week. The food is outstanding inexpensive and fresh, I stuck with the steak and chicken fajitas. The green salsa that they bring to the table is absolutely outstanding. The ladies who sat me and waited on me were super nice. I will definitely come back next time. I am in Houston love this place!!!! Check out the pictures.

    I've been here a few times for a quick breakfast with my friend, but after today I won't be returning. The main reason we would come here is because it's close by and the food is cheap. We came here today and the service was horrible. We were the only people in the restaurant and it took them 20 minutes to bring us the water we asked for. They had several people working that just ignored us while we waited. Then they brought us out our food and we had requested avocado and bacon on the side. The waitress said she would be right back with both and by the time she came out of the kitchen we were already almost done eating. So save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else. There's tons of better options in the area.

    Ordered take out. Came in a decent amount of time. The food was excellent. Every single plate I ordered tasted so good.

    Birria tacos

    Great food & service! Perfect for a late night dinner! Tacos, salsa and soups are awesome!

    The restaurant was empty so that should've told us something. No ambiance. Our waitress was also the bartender. The drinks were warm and the food lacked taste and was bland which was very disappointing. Ask me why I ordered one drink to order another which was just as warm and practically tasted the same. ‍ There's nothing more that I can say.

    Enchilada Plate THIS FOOD WAS DISGUSTING!!!!
    Shaquile S.

    This food is extremely nasty, I came from California my cheese enchiladas always were great. The cheese inside these enchiladas was not melted the red sauce just tasted like tomatoes And not to mention the rice was like I was eating at a Chinese restaurant! This is Mexican by the way. The beans must have been from a can. Nothing was authentic. I don't like how this girl op-ed and gave me my food without washing my hands. I went back to get my order better it was still nasty.

    It's was really great the food was cooked well and the drinks were great and I recommend you go cause it's very delicious

    Tacos al carbon
    Paul C.

    So, I've upped my rating. Quite simply, there's no better value for your dollar if you want the Tex-Mex version of a greasy spoon. The BEST value is the simple beef fajita carbon taco. It's with the extra 60 cents and is cheaper than that Austin hipster place. The rest of the menu is solid as well. Enchiladas are what you expect from a place like this. For $5 you get a servicable margarita. The green salsa is fantastic and spicy. Nachos will hit the a lot as well. This is less like the movie 1917 and more like Grosse Point Blank. You know what you're going to get and are happy it's there.

    Came to eat with my family. When we finally got our food, after maybe 2 bites, I looked on the wall next to my 4 year olds daughters head and there was a roach crawling down the wall, almost falling onto her head. After seeing this, all 3 of us lost our appetites. Our server was very sweet, so we left a tip for her regardless, but our meal WAS comped. I was so sickened by this, I threw up in the parking lot.

    My experience here was very disappointing. It was my first time giving this place a try, and it was likely my last as well. The food was average. Chips and salsa were meh. I got a steak quesadilla, and it didn't look very appetizing. The flavor was okay, but presentation left a lot to be desired. Our waitress, Andrea, was very unprofessional. Either she was new, or she just didn't care about making sure we got what we ordered in a timely manner. Her entire attitude was just "couldn't care less". My friends and I waited a long time to be served. After we got our food, we never saw our waitress again. Not even to get our waters refilled. We had to tell another waitress that we were ready for our checks. I'm giving the experience two stars instead of one because I enjoyed the horchata. Good horchata always make a difference.

    Notice the gross bottom but of a lettuce head.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. This is their fajita salad by the way. I would never ever ever NEVER support this business again lol this is unacceptable and just plain cheap.

    Absolutely delicious food. The green salsa is ADDICTING. Had the basic (but very well seasoned) crunchy tacos and was not disappointed!

    Not my first time at Maderas. That's why I came back because it was excellent and my friends heard…read moreme rave about it and they suggested we come here. Arrived on Sunday evening around 7:30. Was sat immediately. Not my first time here so I knew the menu, my friends did not. So they needed time to see what drinks they wanted because they like cocktails and the menu is not small and they had to choose which ones they wanted because the options are good. When they decided, the cocktails straggled out. Two came out but the other two did not, They just sat at the bar as my friends sat with there with their drinks in front of them waiting on ours so we can toast to a wonderful day with a new member of the group. You would have thought the other staff would step in or at least the bartender would see that the waiter was in the weeds and needed help. That's when I knew we should have not come. The food was all lukw warm. The appetizer of queso was like warm with chunks of cheese floating around and some of the chips were fresh and others stale. A mixed bag you can say. My Flautas where luke warm, so was the side of beans and rice. My friends said their tacos were okay. My friend who got the Caesar Salad, there was no dressing on the salad not was there a side of dressing that came with it. We had to ask for it. I did not have the energy to try to keep wrangling the waiter. If you want to shut the kitchen down early because the day was long I get it. Let the customer know, I get it. I used to wait tables to but I would never give people luke warm food or luke service. The staff seems not to have one anothers back. I did not eat my food, I took my food home to reheat it so I could eat it at the proper temperature. My friend took his salad home because he had more Caesar dressing at home. Left a bad taste in my mouth and very disappointed. The service and food from the last time compared to this visit was night and day. Total miss. $200.00 thrown away. I paid because I could not let my friends waiste there money on someplace I raved about. Maderas is really a small cute spot. It's rare I have bad service when I go out to eat because I am not a difficult customer and I know I am not the only one they are serving. I will wait for good food and sit back and enjoy the atmosphere and my friends until it arrives. I would not put pressure on the staff or the kitchen. Also I will not arrive just before closing and make a resteraunt and it's staff stay open late because I am hungry. I rather come when the staff and the restaurant wants to recieve customers.

At brunch, the papas bravas come as small cubes of fried potato with an airy crunch that gives way to a soft, pillowy center - the kind of deeply satisfying bite that makes conversation briefly irrelevant. Crisp prosciutto adds salt, aioli brings richness, and smoky chile sauce keeps it lively. They're served with cactus-handled toothpicks, which are almost offensively adorable. The chilaquiles divorciados are another hit. The chips are dressed with salsa rather than drowned beneath it, so each one arrives ready for the perfect bite. It's a small distinction, but an important one. Then there are the enfrijoladas: rolled quesadillas in fluffy tortillas, covered in creamy black bean sauce and plated with more care than bean and cheese might seem to warrant. The dish is fundamentally simple, but that's the point. Soft tortilla, savory beans, melted cheese, bright salsa. Familiar ingredients transformed into something deeply comforting--the culinary equivalent of curling up beneath a warm blanket on a cold morning, even if Houston rarely provides one. Dinner shifts into another gear. The crudos are sensational, especially the tuna tiradito - a rolling wave of flavor and texture. The tacos are excellent across the board, but the crispy maitake mushrooms are unmatched. The short ribs arrive juicy and tender on a mole negro that doesn't sit politely in the background. It lands dark, complex, and full of flavor. And then there's the masa cornbread, a masterpiece of unapologetic indulgence. Humble cornbread meets savory-sweet mole, smoky, earthy butter, and caviar. It sounds like too much. It isn't. Every element earns its place. The cocktails deserve their own warning. They're the kind that convince you to keep ordering the same drink all night. By the end, you may have forgotten what was in it. What you'll remember is that it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you needed. Maximo makes ambitious food feel generous rather than fussy. Come hungry.

I would definitely recommend making a reservation, as it can get pretty busy, especially during Saturday lunch. There is also plenty of parking available across the street. The interior of the restaurant was beautiful and felt so authentic to Mexican culture. Our server, Kylah, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and so kind throughout our entire dining experience. Now onto the food; everything was absolutely delicious. The Avocado Mollete and Chilaquiles Divorciados were both packed with so much flavor. Every bite was amazing. I had heard that the pancakes were the star of the show, and they definitely lived up to the hype. I have never had pancakes this crispy before, and they were so good! Our server also brought out a birthday surprise, the Chocolate Cremoso, and it was delicious! It was such a sweet touch to the celebration. Honestly, everything my party ordered was so flavorful and delicious. We had such a great experience, and I genuinely cannot wait to come back!

The experience started poorly with the valet attendants, whom we found to be rude, dismissive, and very unprofessional. It was such an unpleasant first impression that my wife and I mentioned it to the hostess when we went inside. Unfortunately, things did not improve. The hostess seemed completely unconcerned about our experience and simply informed us that the wait for a table was approximately two hours. While deciding whether our party should wait or go elsewhere, I went to the bar to order a drink. After ordering, the bartender told me that if I was only having a drink, I needed to move. Apparently, sitting at the bar required ordering a meal. At that point, we had experienced enough. Between the unpleasant valet experience, the indifferent response at the hostess stand, the two-hour wait, and then being told I couldn't sit at the bar simply to have a drink while we decided what to do, the overall message was clear: we did not feel welcome here. My wife, the rest of our party, and I decided to leave and have dinner elsewhere. A busy restaurant is understandable. A long wait is understandable. What is much harder to understand is making prospective customers feel unwelcome at nearly every point of contact. Needless to say, this was an exceptionally disappointing experience, and we will not be returning.
