Authentic Dominican/Caribbean food in Willowbrook. Who knew?…read more I remember this place from a birthday party decades ago. The space was a bit bigger (they've since redesigned it smaller), but the crowds were smaller. Success hasn't tarnished their food. It was a very rainy and soggy afternoons and the place was packed. We managed a table and ordered. Can't go wrong with the delicious shrimp mofongo. I honestly think the sauce is the icing on that cake, made all the more delicious with a squeeze of lemon. Whew! Service was fast and dinner came out at a reasonable pace. The owner is so friendly and stopped by our table to make sure things were good. Better than good! If you're in the Willowbrook area do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner. Prices are a little steep, but what's isn't these days?

Food is very good, they have lunch specials during the week including pernil, pollo guisado, etc…read morefor about $12-13. I ordered the pollo guisado and moro, both were good and we have a little left over. My partner ordered the pica pollo and the fried chicken was decent. The food does take some time, and servers did not check in too often so I would recommend ordering ahead of time (unless you have a long lunch break), There are plenty of tables, but it is a little dark inside, 2 bathrooms inside. The juice was on the sweet side so just watered it down (wish they have smoothies), but they get 5 stars overall for the flavor and the price point. Plenty of parking as it's in located along other stores.

Everything was perfect! Felt like walking into mom's house for the holidays…read more Staff is very attentive. Flavors are in point.

I have learned that the places that look a little suspicious from the outside often end up being…read morethe biggest surprises when it comes to food. This place is definitely not located in a fancy area, and I have to admit, I had second thoughts the moment I pulled into the crowded and chaotic parking lot. Located in the heart of Latino Town in Spring Branch, the atmosphere immediately reminded me of back home (Venezuela). The vibe is different, authentic, and familiar in the best way. I trusted the process because this spot had been on my list for a while, and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Once you make it through the parking adventure and walk inside, you are pleasantly surprised by a small, quaint, clean, and charming restaurant. The aroma coming from the kitchen was enough to convince me I had made the right choice. We were seated right away during a busy lunch hour. The staff works together as a team, and the service was efficient and attentive. But, of course, the star of the show was the food. I had a steak cooked to perfection with sweet plantains, and it was absolutely delicious. They offer an extensive menu featuring flavors from Argentina to Venezuela, with plenty of options to choose from. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and in a timely manner. If you are in the Spring Branch area and craving grilled, savory, authentic food, this is definitely a place to check out. I will absolutely be coming back. A true hidden gem!

And we're off! Today we kicked off our "A to Z International Dining Adventure"! We're planning to…read moreeat our way around the world, choosing a different country for each letter of the alphabet at restaurants around town. Houston has an amazing international dining scene and we won't have any problem finding food to match all 26 countries. Today we started with "A is for Argentina" at Pampa Grill & Market in Houston on Hammerly. We were thrilled to start our journey with newlyweds our son and daughter‑in‑law. We all shared freshly baked bread with chimichura sauce and marinated vegetables salsa criolla, delicious empanadas of all sorts, the Argentina Grill parrillada platter, and flan and Nutella crepes for dessert. Pampa Grill & Market is a beloved family-owned neighborhood gem run by Argentine owners. Definitely a fabulous experience all around. Pampa serves wine, but they also allow BYOB, so we brought a delicious 2022 Decero Remelinos Malbec and John and Katherine brought a lovely white blend, also from Argentina. Weare going to have so much fun taking this food journey together! "B" takes us to Brazil in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned!

Great experience at Mi Bella Honduras! My boyfriend and I have been to several Honduran restaurants…read moreand Mi Bella Honduras is a worthy contender. It is located in a shopping center, so lots of parking available. When you enter, the restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. He ordered the carne asada and I ordered a fried chicken dish with plantains (I've had at other Honduran restaurants but can't remember the name). Mi Bella Honduras made my dish very well - the portion was large and I liked that the chicken was on top of the plantains to capture all the flavor. The sauce was delicious too, almost like a Cane's sauce but Honduran. Great food and good experience!

I don't like boring food because, well, it's Sabor. But I found this spectacular, amazing…read moreSalvadoran bar and food place in an area that some rich suburban folk dare not tread. I was over the proverbial moon. I had to enjoy every bite. Sabor the moment. In my mind I said thanks to Allah, Buddha, Shiva, and to our lord and Sabor Jesus Cristo. One of the best Salvadoran spots in HOuston. If anyone tells you that it's not, they're merely trying to Sabor-tage your enjoyment of the food here. Nice service and long wait times, and absolutely delicious Salvadoran food. The pupusas are magnificent and the clientele are mostly from Central America, and not too much English is spoken - and the tamales are out of this world. If you don't already know about Salvadoran tamales, they are just so much better than anyone else's tamales. Check it out for yourself and you will see why. Five stars all the way for this hidden gem in Spring Branch. I could tell you about mine and Barbi's latest girlfriend but there's nothing interesting. She's sabor.

This location is very convenient on the corner of 249 and Bammel. The shopping center makes it…read moreaccessible from several entrances, and that was a factor in choosing to dine here. This is one of those locations where the overall rating is pretty accurate. There were definite highlights of the experience, but the largest part of my rating will always focus on my entrees, and those were kind of terrible. Service was okay. The staff wasn't really engaged, but they did accomplish their tasks. I wouldn't describe anyone who was working Sunday evening as friendly, but they did their jobs. We started out with a Tamarindo Agua Fresca and a Dr. Pepper. Judging from the large size of the cups, I am guessing they don't do refills, but I did not ask. The agua fresca was strong, but very good. We were served with chips and salsa and then we added on an order of chile con queso for $4.50. The chips were quite good, definitely the best thing we had during our visit. They tasted homemade and I love a thick, crispy tortilla chip. Our server saw we ran out of chips before our food came and did not offer or ask if we wanted more. This leads me to believe they don't refill these either, without a charge, but it's just an impression I was given and I could be mistaken. The salsa was warm, slightly spicy and heavy on the tomato flavor. The queso was shockingly small for the price and had a very thick texture. I was disappointed because it tasted okay, but not good enough to justify the price we paid. We placed our orders and waited a reasonable amount of time. My husband got the carne asada quesadilla plate for $8.99 and the portion was a decent size for the price. I ordered 4 tacos and a small side of rice, all of which were $1.50 each. My rice was okay, but my tacos were not. The tortillas are clearly not made in house, but I won't knock you for having cold, store bought tortillas if you fill them with something tasty. Someone was really heavy handed with the salt that day, and that was the final factor that helped us decide we would not be returning. I actually *like* salt, but I could feel my blood pressure rising just from a few bites, it felt that unhealthy. The only thing that wasn't salty was the pastor, it was actually bland and cold. The barbacoa, nopalitos and carnitas were all salty though. In addition, the barbacoa was too greasy and the nopalitos tasted weirdly sour and bitter (instead of tart). The carnitas had the best texture of all the tacos, but they were the saltiest thing on my plate, making it difficult to eat. My husband let me sample a bit of his carne asada and I was shocked that it was greasier and saltier than anything on my plate. It was so greasy that a few minutes into our meal, the plate was covered in orange grease and it had soaked through the quesadilla. It was mostly inedible and frankly, hard to look at. As we were wrapping things up, my husband used their restroom and immediately warned me to wait until we returned home... ewww. I hope that this was a one off situation. Since we were only visiting the area, I have no way of knowing if this is normal for them. However, most of the food felt like a waste of money and the only items I actually enjoyed were my agua fresca and the chips. Though I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt, I feel our experience had too many issues to gloss over and I'm obligated to give an honest rating. I generally tend to round up my ratings on a first visit since I know things happen, but I cannot justify a higher rating at this time.
