    Ruchi's Mexican Grill absolutely delivered on flavor and satisfaction with my recent to-go order!!! I had the Burrito Supreme with mixed chicken and steak and WOW. The filling was perfectly seasoned, generous, and packed with that bold, crave-worthy flavor you'd expect from a place that knows what it's doing. My only critique? The tortilla. It wasn't quite cooked through, so it started falling apart as I ate, which was a bit messy. That said, the taste was still on point, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. If that tortilla had been grilled just right... I mean, we'd be talking next level legendary. Endless possibilities! The shrimp tacos were a definite standout, juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken tacos were decent, though not as memorable. The side of beans ewww. Even though it was a to-go order, the service was fast and friendly, and the vibe inside was warm and inviting. You can tell this is a spot that locals love for good reason. I'll absolutely be back and next time, I'm hoping that burrito comes with a toasted tortilla and a side of greatness. *SIDE NOTE They stay open till 2 AM. This used to be a great after our spot to grab a bite to eat after being hungry or drunk after the club lol. Not sure if it still is but kind of cool to know.

    Service is okay. If they get even a little busy they kind of forget about you. Overall food was good for very late night eating when you're in a pinch and want Mexican. Large portions, tons of tortillas. The elote was my favorite. Also the soups were very soothing on a cold night. The taquitos are so dry it was eating like stale tortillas wrapped in very dry chicken jerky. I could barely chew it. The nachos were also topped with pretty dry chicken. Tough to eat.

    Pleasantly surprised that this place was not far from me! Loved the flour tortilla with my taco. It tasted very fresh. I ordered the barbacoa and pierna taco. The barbacoa was super juicy and delicious. The pierna was kind of dry, but I've never had this type of taco so I wasn't sure what to expect. We also had chips and salsa which came with the meals and I ordered a strawberry margarita, which was great! The servers were attentive and there was a very relaxed vibe. It's open late too, so it's great if you want a late Mexican snack. Will most likely be back!

    Came here on a Wednesday evening, maybe 25 percent capacity, the place seem authentic filled with culture and history. Ordered the Birria quesadillas, and fried fish. Overall it was ok, nothing special, fairly priced, and excellent chip and salsa. Fish was good, rice was alittle dry

    Mixed plate, chile relleno
    Mari T.

    Wow. We have been here 2 days and already have been here 2 times! The fresh chips and salsas (2 kinds: red/orange and avocado) are AMAZING. First night we got chile relleno plate and a mixed plate (cheese enchilada, chicken enchilada and beef taco). Fantastic! Soooo fast and soooo delicious! Friendly service and so reasonably priced! Then we went again for breakfast. He got a beef gordita and I got huevos ala mexicana (jalapenos, tomatoes and onion scramble with potatoes and beans). Can't wait to go back and try more things! The menu is so extensive we said you could def come back every day of the month and have something new! He still needs to try the flan (his fave) but every time he is too full for dessert!

    This place is bomb. The food is always delicious, and authentic. The service could be a little better but nonetheless it's a great late night dinner spot Ambiance is AUTHENTIC MEXICAN

    Chorizo con Huevos con Chorizo

    We are visiting Houston this weekend and we're in the mood for some authentic Mexican food. Everyone was very welcoming as soon as we walked in. I order the chorizo con huevos plate and my bf order the Menudo. Both were delicious and great on flavor. Definitely recommend to try for some real Mexican food

    Never had a bad experience here. I always get the tripa tacos and if I could, I'd eat it everyday all day for the rest of my life.

    Barbados taco

    Got 2 tacos that were kinda on the small side. Bacon and egg was very good. Barbacoa tasted fishy? It was weird. I couldn't even finish it. It was take out so I couldn't exchange. Green salsa was great. Cashier was very friendly. Nice and clean looking restaurant. It's probably gonna be a hit or miss restaurant.

    Shrimp enchiladas
    Keandra P.

    I love me some TEX MEX. Service was great. Went with a big group for lunch Food-I had the shrimp enchiladas. Large portion. Super cheesy, which I love. Taste was fair, not amazing, but hits the spot. Quick and easy lunch or dinning place, reasonable prices.

    the front of the restaurant

    Out front this place has plenty of parking, and is conveniently located right off the freeway. Walking in we were greeted and seated right away. This place was busy but we didn't have to wait to be seated and the food didn't take long either. I ordered the pancakes which comes with 3, and eggs with 2 pieces of bacon. The pancakes are nice and fluffy and came with warm melted butter and maple syrup. My bf ordered juevos con tocino y papas y frijoles. Both orders were delicious and you can't beat the price point. For 3 of us the bill was 24 bucks. Staff were friendly and attentive, and place was clean and had plenty of seating. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

    Nice little spot near NRG. Very clean with some seating…read more The prices are very reasonable and fair. The workers are kind and happy to help. The po-boys were Huge. I got a size Large. I love a good oyster po-boy, but it is hard finding one that is reasonably prices. And with ACTUAL po-boy bread rather than sandwich bread. A place like this is hard to come-by with a true New Orleans touch and even name (Calliope). This is officially my go-to spot for oyster po-boy. I do like my po-boys drenched so I will have to ask for extra sauce next time. I am excited to try their other cajun options on the menu next time :) I saw others inside eating their seafood boils.

    Calliop's is close to NRG Stadium, across from Shipley's Do-Nuts on S. Main at Murworth…read more I am a first time diner. I opened my Yelp! App to find a new place to eat with no real feelings toward any particular place. Landed on Calliope's page and read the reviews. Looked good to me so I headed there. Restaurant is on the end cap of a strip plaza. Has a drive-thru as well (pleasantly surprised to see that on my way out). Parking is ample as most businesses were not open on a Saturday after 4p. Parked right in front. Dining room has about 6 tables for up to 4 people each, as well as two Hi-Top tables with seating for two each. Counter has 40" TV screens with the entire menu on them right above the cashier station. Menu cycles through pics of a few food offerings as well. Came because of the review suggestion of the Boudin egg rolls and the Suicide Shrimp Boiling Pot. Ordered both from the nice cashier who explained the entire menu, best sellers and offered modifications to the rice as well. After I paid for the order, was given a disc pager and took a seat. Dining room was clean and well lit. Waited about 15 minutes and the cashier motioned to me that my order was ready. She explained that the boiling pot sauce was placed on the side so the shrimp wouldn't be soggy and explained the other sauces that were included in my order, which were the boudin remoulade and the boiling pot garlic butter. I paid about $28 for the appetizer and main entree. They offer sliced cake, bottled flavored punches and Coke product fountain drinks, as well. It took me about 30 min to make it home and the food was still hot. The shrimp are small to medium in size; the fried rice comes with scrambled eggs, carrots, peas and onions (which I had removed). Boiling pot comes with one potato and a mini ear of corn with a boiled egg. Think: shrimp boil deconstructed. The sauce was mild flavor {offerings are Regular (no spice), Mild (medium spice) and Extra (chili sauce based spice)}. The sauce on the rice and shrimp were flavorful but I found even the mild to be too spicy for my taste (have acid reflux, so I actively avoid spicy foods). The rice was good (I added extra scrambled eggs, additional fee) and the plate is more than enough for two people. The egg rolls have cream cheese inside. Though not my taste, my roommate enjoyed it with the remoulade it comes with. Overall, between the cleanliness of the location, the service of the staff, the portion size, and value for money, I will be back to sample other items from the menu.

    Look no further for authenticity, flavor, and complexity in Chinese cooking near the med center!…read more Though we opted for more "simple" dishes during this experience, you can judge a place by if they can do their simple dishes well. The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

    I've been a happy patron of Hu's Cooking ever since they opened the year before the pandemic, but…read morebecause of their instant success and local renown from their excellent eats, speedy service, busy-but-not-crowded vibes (see: their 1000+ Yelp reviews) I've never felt the need to drop a review of my own - until just this week. On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.

As they had just moved from Bourban Sizzler @ 2114 Holly Hall to two doors down to Irie Sizzler @ 2122 Holly Hall. But it's the same owners. Designed with fun Jamaican decor. Service - Ericka the owner/server was great. She chatted with us, was friendly. Provided good service. There was a DJ spinning some great tunes, for there soft opening. Food - I ordered the oxtail combo $29.49, which comes with rice/peas and cabbage and 2 plantains. With the combo you are allowed one additional meat of jerk chicken or stewed chicken, or curry goat (I think). The food was tasty. Plan to visit again. She also offered chicken soup, which was yum, great on the cool day. Drinks - I asked Ericka if they sold adult bevy's, as I had seen on the Bourban Sizzler Yelp page. She said no, but they had some carribean soft drinks and juices. I got the pineapple & Guava, expectedly sweet, but not overbearing. Wishing this black owned business much succes.

They are cutting the oxtails in half leaving a lot of fragmented bones in the gravy Try to drain off some of your oil before put in those carrots Secondly!

    While there's nothing extraordinary about the kind of business Taro specializes in (#1), the…read morelocation alone is worth noting. Situated directly across the street from NRG Stadium along Kirby, it's ideally placed to capture the slice of tourists and locals. Considering the wide selection of Japanese-inspired fare, the potential is there -- but unfortunately, the food is both overpriced and mediocre, much like their predecessor (#2). Things I appreciated: * Interior: I am fairly confident that one could show up with 20 people from a football game across the street and find a seat. There's enough seating in here to house an army and they've done a good job with the ambiance to keep the appearance of a faux-premium vibe. * Service: While they were generally slow on a few things, most of the staff members I've encountered were super pleasant and very transparent about what / what not to order. I appreciated this immensely. * Yakitori: No exaggeration, this is one of the better AYCE yakitori experiences I've had. The chicken and beef yakitori combos (#3) had great presentation, were juicy, and full of flavor. This was the only item where I wanted multiple orders. Things that are not great: * The price: This. My first time coming here it was $31 (Or ... $30.99), but the last time was $50. With that kind of a steep hike, you'd think they'd offer uni, toro, and some kind of premium yakitori, but too hard to justify considering their lineup of food and drink. * The name: Previously, it was simply "Taro Japanese Restaurant." As of earlier this year, it has become "Taro VIP BBQ SEAFOOD HOTPOT & BAR." * The drinks: I'm stoked they have an alcohol license and can serve wine, beer, and cocktails. But the cocktails are on another level bad. The Mexican Mule ($14.50) was too tinge too sour, the Taro Red ($14.50), Blue Hawaii ($13.50) and Tokyo Rose ($13.50) are way too sweet. Even the powdered milk teas and fruit teas felt very generic. * The sushi: I can handle low quality sushi, but there was some level of funk for almost all the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail that I ordered. It was masked a bit better in the rolls, but at some point, I couldn't order anymore. * The ramen: While I think offering any kind of ramen is a plus in the AYCE scenario, the ramen here is understandably mid. All of the tonkotsu choices are the best bet, but this is a hard pass for even folks that love noodle soup. * The spelling: While I'm typically forgiving of most menu mishaps, the fact one is being charged $50 and they can't seem to spell shoyu, fried, tartare, etc. correctly is kind of mind blowing. * Most of their baked sushi items: This includes their tataki, baby octopus, mussels, ankimo, and tartare. This is likely due to the seafood quality issue that I had alluded to earlier. * The crawfish: Skip. Don't bother ordering, even if it's peak crawifsh season since it tastes like something more from a Chinese buffet than anything resembling the kinds of crawdads from Louisiana. For a place that boasts being run by culinary graduates trained under a famous Japanese chef (#5), it's incredibly disappointing to such such variety paired with such flawed execution. One could argue Taro is more style than substance, but I hope they find a way to correct their course. ____________ (#1) All you can eat Japanese restaurant where everyone speaks Mandarin. (#2) Akashi: https://www.yelp.com/biz/akashi-houston-7 (#3) Calling all carnivores: This is your moment. (#4) "Shyoyu" "Fired" "Tartar" (#5) Takeshi Kaneko? Okay then.
