Home-cooked flavor! Quick and friendly service by all service members. Yareli was friendly and respectful. I loved how she approached me as opposed to my husband. Too many times the ladies tend to him and not me... she knew what was appropriate . This was a first for us! Small restaurant but didn't feel crowded, had a bar, seating was comfortable and place was clean. We loved our ceviche, cheese birria tacos and street fajita tacos mixed with chorizo on home made tortillas. They were loaded with meat! We took the dessert home (tres leches of course). Even the water tasted good! I had the watermelon margarita and it was made with real watermelon juice (no syrup) which I prefer because I don't like extra sweet drinks. read more

We enjoyed our time here. The server was attentive and quick. We started with the queso blanco and while basic was very tasty. Their green salsa was okay but the red salsa and smoky and flavorful. They had a lot of options and we went with the Ay Ay Ay fajitas. They had good flavor but I wish the meat itself had more flavor. Not just relying on the sauce and extras for flavor. However major bonus points that they gave black refried beans. Overall we would try them again but kind of hope the next time is more satisfying. read more

Great food but it's rather expensive for being a Mexican food restaurant. I love the decor as it makes it feel like you are in a high end Mexican place with beautiful pictures. The one downside besides the price is that they have way to many tables that makes it to hard to get around and have enough room to push your chair back or fit into their booths. read more

Hadn't been here in many, many years. My daughter first introduced us to this restaurant. I had forgotten about it and since it's in a corner of a strip center, it's not highly visible. This hidden gem has everything I expect from an eatery. I invited my brother and sister-n-law not knowing how pleased we all would be. The food was awesome and plentiful, the ambiance was great and our server went out of her way as did the entire staff. I do believe we have found our "go to" but next time we'll be sure to go when we're really hungry! Their menu is unbelievable. Oh and I almost forgot. Get a flight of Margaritas! Make your own choice but my favorites were the watermelon and mango! Like Arnold said "I'll be back!" read more

I've ordered the exact same thing from you multiple times -- shredded chicken enchiladas with flour tortillas instead of corn. I even make a point to have the order repeated back to me, yet somehow it's always wrong when I pick it up. At this point, it's not a misunderstanding -- it's a communication problem on your end. Please coordinate better with your staff and verify orders before handing them off. This really shouldn't be this hard. Do better. read more

Thank you Tavo's! I've found my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I had the Chile Relleno, and my wife had the cheese enchiladas combo. Everything was so flavorful. The Chile Relleno was one of the best I've ever had, with depth and spice in every bite. I judge most restaurants by their chips and salsa, and Tavo's salsa was top-notch. They also have a green sauce that my wife loved. Adding a Serrano Margarita made everything perfect. Tavo's is now our go-to spot for Mexican food! read more

New Tex Mex spot in cypress . I was skeptical about finding good Tex Mex/ Mexican food in the area . Tavos had been on my list of new food to try. Good portions , great service and great food.

Twice visiting this location and I will not return. First time I gave it a chance since not too far bit more expensive than my other restaurants we dined in and the food was not very good.

This is a hidden gem tucked in the corner off Fry rd. Y'all it is worth the try. We really enjoyed it. They have been open about 5 months. The food was good and the service was as well. We were asked several times if we needed anything and were very well taken care of. The ambiance was very family friendly and I really encourage you to give it a try. read more

Very good Tex Mex food. The chips and red salsa are very good and their red ground beef enchiladas are delicious. I've only been here twice but will continue to come to try out other items. Service is great and quick. Highly recommend! read more

Tavo's is probably one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area! Everything is delicious!! For appetizers, you get free chips and salsa verde, but the Stuffed Avocado is a must order! You also need to order fajitas of course...our favorite is the Fajitas Monterrey combo. It's so flavorful, cheesy, with sautéed veggies, and the beef and chicken is so tender! The drinks are strong, and they also have Margarita flights if you can't decide on just one! Fun atmosphere and service in a quaint restaurant space. Great place to go to for a weekend evening dinner in the burbs! read more

First I'll say that Mexican restaurants in Houston are on every corner so its difficult to stand out. That said, there was nothing BAD about this restaurant however there are a few things that knocked down the rating in my opinion. I went to the Cypress location on a Friday night and I really wanted to like this place however, it was quite crowded and there seemed to be too many tables packed into the space. Also the service was a bit slow, we ordered the Queso Blanco and requested Jalapenos to go with it, we had to ask 4 times before we finally got them and by then the dish was half gone. Also I will say in Fajitas a la Poblano it was very difficult to find any Poblanos. I am a fellow service industry owner so I know how much impact online reviews can make and at the same time, I rely heavily on Yelp reviews when selecting places to try for my own personal choices so I try to be fair and send good reviews when deserved while pointing out specifics for improvement that the owners can use as feedback. Again, nothing was bad, but it was just an Average Mexican food experience, nothing stellar or someplace I would say you "have to try". Added pictures for your benefit. Give it a try and draw your own conclusions. read more

Over priced and disgusting! Under cooked onions and meat was room temp. You would think a taco would be at least warm.

The cheery atmosphere set the tone for the food, beverages, and service. Our family was more than impressed by the quality and flavor of our entrees. The best quesabirria ever! They tacos were generously filled with flavorful meats and the consommé was exceptional. Rich but not greasy. My chili relleno was huge and delicious. Our adult beverages were excellent. Servers were attentive but not intrusive. One of our best dining experiences. read more

5 stars -- Tavo's: Where the fajitas sizzle and the staff doesn't judge your veggie dreams. Delicious, sizzling fajitas? Check. Substituting rice and beans for veggies without sighing like you just asked for a unicorn? Check. Friendly service, great vibes, and zero passive aggression? Big check. Tavo's is everything you want in a Mexican restaurant--amazing food, fantastic prices, and a warm atmosphere that makes you want to stay for "just one more margarita." Unlike some other places (looking at you, Taco de Oro), Tavo's actually listens when you say "no rice, more veggies," and doesn't act like you've personally offended their ancestors. 10/10 would ditch beans for broccoli again. read more

This place just opened 3 week ago in our area so we were excited to try it out! Hidden within a small shopping strip, and it did not disappoint! The food had an authentic feel and tasty! Their best asset however I'd DEFINITELY the margaritas! They have 2 FULL page of endless choices! And not only offering margaritas - there's daiquiri options and wine/beer as well! Bonus: happy hour all day on Mondays and Tuesdays! Loved the kind and attentive wait staff ! Very hopeful this place has a permanent spot in our community ! I'll be there every Monday to do my part read more

Always a warm greeting when entering the festive colored dining area. The restaurant was filled and a bit too chilly to sit outside, so we sat at the bar. Humberto was prompt with the drinks and chips and salsa to munch while choosing our entree. Everything they do is good, but I usually end up getting the Quesabirria Plate. Perfect blend of onion and beef with a great crispy shell and dipping sauce. The standard sides of rice and choice of brands is good, but the charro beans are preferred read more

I now get the hype. Have visited 3 times now and have enjoyed each visit. Not only is food delicious the margaritas are spot on. Shout out to the amazing staff! I am super picky about fajitas and Tavo's has some of the best I've ever tired. Loved both the chicken and beef. The homemade tortillas are delicious. Have also tried the puffy taco which were so good. I'm obsessed with the charro beans they have so much flavor. I stopped by for a late lunch today and sat at the bar. So many staff members asked how my visit was going and how my meal. Upon leaving they thanked me for coming in. Love to support an amazing restaurant with such a friendly staff. Can't wait for our next visit. read more

This place was AMAZING!!! Best Mexican food I've ever had!! Came down to Texas from Maryland and craved Mexican SUPER glad this place popped up! The service was out of this world! The servers were very attentive and on point from the moment you walk in and out! They definitely care about their customers! The ambiance of the restaurant was like no other! I felt "at home" if that makes sense! (It was a little small in there though). Overall, 10/10 and would definitely go back and recommend this place! I cannot wait until March 2024 when I go back down to Texas because this will be 1st on my to go list!! read more

I truly was excited to have a New Mexican food restaurant close to this area, but I am so sad to say my husband and I left disappointed. First let me start by saying that I will attempt to give a very thorough review with hopes that the owner can utilize this feedback to improve. I understand that this new business needs to work out the kinks so here it goes.... My husband and I walked in Saturday afternoon and stood there at the hostess stand for about a minute before anyone came and we were not properly greeted...no welcome or hello nothing. The waitress went straight to get two menus for us and we just followed her to a table. There must have been something going on we were not aware of because suddenly another waitress walks over to our waitress and starts reprimanding her in front of us about something. The waitresses were arguing back and forth for a moment and then the waitress apologized to us for that. Okay then we order drinks and queso to start. We asked the waitress about the Fathers Day special and she said she didn't know the details of it. When she came back to serve us the drinks she told us that she "had to make them by herself". She looked very stressed and kept apologizing for everything. I told her no worries and tried to put her at ease because I felt sorry for her. She looked very young and new like it was her first job possibly so we were definitely giving her grace. Hopefully the manager can give some more training to ensure her success moving forward. I will say she did try her best and was attending to as needed and I could tell she wanted us to be happy. I appreciate her attempts and wish her much luck moving forward. Hopefully the other girl who was embarrassing our waitress by arguing will never do that again as it is extremely unprofessional to argue in front of customers and makes others feel uncomfortable needless to say. The queso did not taste good and it tasted like nacho cheese from a can. The salsa was decent both green and red. We ordered beef fajitas and they were simply okay. I was highly disappointed with the flour tortillas because it kept breaking apart like it was stale or something. See the picture for reference. I couldn't even eat it without the taco falling apart to a huge mess. The prices for the food and margaritas were above average prices, so I thought the food would have been good. The restaurant had a nice clean look inside and I liked the art on the walls. However, the restaurant was very warm like the ac was not blowing cold. I am normally freezing everywhere I go but this restaurant was warm and I literally was sweating while drinking a cold margarita. Main takeaways for the owner are: Greet customers when they arrive. Train wait staff about the food menus, drinks, and specials, as well as service norms and professionalism. Consider an improved queso recipe and fresh tortillas. Crank down the ac to make it cooler. read more

A great experience earlier this week. First time in and the food, service, and atmosphere exceeded my expectations. Normally local places look a bit run down and 'tired' but not here. It is new and all but still it was nice. Anyway always when coming to Tex-Mex places everyone has there go to's good wherever fajitas, enchiladas, etc. I went off script and got the special which was bacon wrapped shrimp tacos. Man they were good. Beans and rice were to perfection also. Service was first rate as well. First impression was fantastic! read more

Went there last night after seeing several good reviews. Well, I am here to say the reviews were all spot on. My wife had the Chile Relleno and I had the 3 enchilada combo (2 cheese and 1 beef). The meal did not disappoint. The enchiladas were really good, dare I say better than Chuy's. I got a bite of my wife's Chile Relleno and really liked it. Additionally, we had the hibiscus margarita and the cucumber jalapeno. margarita. While the drinks were good, they did not compare to Ambriza's cucumber margaritas. Overall, it is safe to say we have found another great Mexican restaurant in Cypress. read more
