    My old stomping ground from many years ago. I got the Cabana Bowl with steak fajita; it was really good, like all things on the menu at Taco Cabana. Tonight I just did a drive-thru; my norm would be to go in and enjoy all the different sauces and the atmosphere. It's such a vibe here, But my furbaby was with me. But, you know what was so sweet? The girl working the drive-thru talking to my little girl.

    Aaah Taco Cabana. My dear old friend. This is the only location left around me. Was in the area doing some shopping with my sister & dropped by for a quick bite. Since it was mid day on Wednesday, it was empty which was awesome! We ordered good ol Cabana bowls & $2 ritas. I noticed it was clean & didn't have that funky old smell. Lady working the front was nice & got our orders right. She gave us plenty of salsas without hassle. Which I for one appreciated. I'm so annoyed when you order food & it's like pulling teeth to get more than 1 ketchup, salsa, etc. Our food was fresh. We both got shredded chicken & it was tasty. Portions of meat, beans, rice, etc. were balanced. Not just a bunch of lettuce with a teaspoon of chicken. The $2 ritas weren't bad. In case you're wondering, this location is still doing the to-go ritas & the salsa bar isn't back to regular self serve set up. Yelp on my friends!

    $15.00 down the drain. 3 expensive carne tacos. What a joke, Just some meat that is way too spicy, not a good spice just thrown together with no lettuce, tomato, pico, cilantro, onion, queso!

    Against family opinion I do eat here on the regular- however..today was the breaking point for me. A hair in my food. I've had warning, I've come thru the drive-thru and seen no hairnets, Nike jogging pants even used as uniform attire, even employees using their cell phones while prepping food- gloves you may be wondering?... haven't seen them in use, haven't even seen hand washing with the multiple visits I've made. I know better, I'm IN food service. I'm loyal tho- I love TC and I was willing to chance it. I gave them the benefit of my patronage though for the last time. The hairy chicken taco is the breaking point for me. Too bad, the happy hour menu is pretty good.

    Great service and wonderful atmosphereA must stop when shopping in the H 249! The taste is delicious, never disappointed. The salsa is smoking good as well, Don't forget the sapodillas are good, not the best.

    Always extremely long wait time. Place is incredibly slow even when there are hardly any customers. Go somewhere else.

I parked and an attendant told me it was supposed to be valet... oops! But he let me stay there and then brought me my car back after we ate. The vibe was cute! Very dated (but in a fun Vintage way) ambiance on the outside and very rustic Tex Mex vibe on the inside. They told us it would be 45 minutes and it was probably closer to an hour and 15 but we checked out the market across the street while we waited. We finally got seated and met our waiter, who I believe was named Jose (I should not have waited this long to do my review!) and he was awesome! Funny, attentive, and super friendly. We ordered the Queso Flameado as a starter. I had never had it nor ever seen anything like it but oh my goodness, it was DELICOUS. I ordered the Antiquas (cheese enchiladas) as my main meal and not only were they so good, but the portion size was huge as well. For $17 I definitely got my money's worth! I left full, happy, and would definitely come back the next time I'm visiting Houston. Well worth the wait!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

It was my first time trying out Tex mex style. It was so busy on a Saturday evening. The chips that were given to each table was incredibly warm and the sauces paired so well.

I recommend getting it with red and green sauce on the side and a side of tortillas ro make your own tacos with the eggs, salsa and refried beans. just wow! And that tamale needs its own menu. That tamale was amazing. I would get several orders of that soft white tamale by itself to go. And the service was a 10/10. They kept refilling my red and green sauce and kept checking up on me throughout. Ambience was great as always. Its a life changing dish. Thanks Teotihuacan for the great breakfast and great service!

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.

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it. It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

Service: waitress: was sweet and she took our order and checked on us 3 times the entire meal. She did not ask or offer any type of hot sauce or other condiments when my food was delivered to the table. Manager: this is what really cost them, tried to deny me entry because of my service dog. Said he had to call the owner because they didn't allow pets. I told the manager that it was a servive dog who was working. Then after calling the owner, still tried to talk me out of eating there. The manager and owner need to learn the laws that protect people with disabilities that require service animals. Texas Human Resources Code, Chapter 12. https://guides.sll.texas.gov/animal-law/service-animals Food: given that this was a "mexican restaurant", it lacked flavor and spice. The bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños were overly greasy and had 0 heat. My birria nachos were decent but still lacked in flavor category. The only thing that saved them from a 1 star was the fun atmosphere. Do better and learn from your mistakes.

It's in the Museum District/Montrose area, so pretty accessible and with plenty of parking.

The menu was pretty extensive with your Tex-Mex classics like fajitas and enchiladas, with a special for every day of the week.
