When they say "everything is bigger in Texas," they weren't kidding. The size of the margarita was bigger than my hand. If you want leftovers, this is your place to go. It was my first time trying out Tex mex style. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was so busy on a Saturday evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chips that were given to each table was incredibly warm and the sauces paired so well. I ordered the el manarco which is this giant piece of steak that was well charred, included this avacado and seafood grit sauce, rice + soup + gauconole/salsa. They gave me 4 giant house made tortillas which was also fresh and warm. This meal can be finished by two people. Definitely come here on an empty stomach and the portions are absolutely massive. read more

Guys, you know I dont post a review unless a dish is a straight 10/10. The breakfast I just had warrants a 10/10 review at the Airline blvd location. I just had the Machacado con Huevo breakfast dish here and it was so incredibly good-So good! it was one of the best breakfasts Ive ever had. seriously.I will definitely be back for this breakfast. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience was great as always.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Its a life changing dish. Thanks Teotihuacan for the great breakfast and great service! Yall deserve a well-earned review! read more

Another happy visit to Teotihuacan. We like coming before of after the lunch rush. Nazaet was a great server. I was indecisive. We can't go wrong with enchiladas. Mom loves this place.

I used to eat here 3X a week. Tonight reminded me why I no longer do.I was with a new friend ,so I only took 1 photo. The "queso" w/carne seemed to be out of a can-it was orange & didn't have the consistency of real cheese- wasn't really cheese & was disgusting. It was $9.99. I am including a photo of the overcooked beef fajita. A senior citizen can get the all beef lunch fajita special for virtually the same price as the fajita combo here ALL DAY at Pappasitos. It definitely is enough for 2. The meat melts in your mouth. EVERYTHING is better quality than here. Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous. It reminds me that I had stopped going long ago when they charged extra for onions on enchiladas. Come on. You don't charge extra for chopped onions! I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo. Tonight they were tough & uneventful. We arrived on a week night when they were not busy. Neither of the salsas were as good as they used to be.The water pitcher didn't even have ice when they refilled the water. I have absolutely no desire to return. Why would I? read more

We came straight here after landing in Houston. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The parking lot for the most part was full, but the restaurant is huge with plenty of tables available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was also great. They have a huge staff, so you should anticipate any issues as they all work together to make sure you receive excellent service. We started off with their Chile con Queso. We also received green and red salsa and everything was tasty. We also ordered one pound of fajitas, half chicken and half beef. These were served on top of grilled onions and with a side of frijoles charros and rice. The fajitas were really delicious. The chicken was very tender and the beef was seasoned perfectly. Overall a very delicious meal and can definitely see myself returning. read more

Food was great, the service was quick and efficient. Well priced menu and strong margs!

Service was fair. I did not try the tortillas or tamale. The fajita and sausage were definitely not warm. You would think for it being 8:45AM the food would be hot and fresh. Probably wouldn't drive from Katy to eat here again. read more

Teotihuacan Mexican Cafe - Fajita with eggs and a side sausage. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

It's a relatively affordable, authentic Tex-Mex experience in the heart of Houston Heights. I would say the pros are their fresh handmade tortillas are very good, their menu is on the cheaper end compared to most other sit-down Tex Mex places, and the menu is huge with lots of variety. The con I would say is the quality can sometimes be hit or miss but probably comes with the cheaper price tag. Still would come back! Their fajita meat was a bit thinner and not as juicy as I would've liked but still had good flavor [[HIGHLIGHT]]Waitresses are friendly and ambience is great and authentic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was fairly packed and expansive, with a frontside seating area and extended tables behind the righthand door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were quickly seated in a booth for a Sunday dinner and served water, as well as chips and salsa. The menu included well over 40 different options, and I initially felt a bit intimidating to choose between which dish to order. My one constructive feedback would be the staff helping a bit more for indecisive customers, since my waitress mainly just stated all the food was delicious (which, while true, was not super helpful in my decision-making). We ordered house guac for our chips in addition to the salsas, and it was fresh and delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised by the size of my order, as the ribeye definitely looked more than only eight ounces; let alone the other components! Dinner was very filling, and while I didn't have a margarita alongside my food, I could tell it was a popular spot to indulge and sip. read more

Dang this is a hidden gem...well at least it was from me. A friend recommended it so I stopped by for lunch today...now I need a nap! Ordered the Chile Relleno under House Specialties and it was indeed very special. Actually everything on the plate was really great!

We came here for Sunday brunch, as we were in the area for the Heights Mercantile Farmer's Market and I'd had this bookmarked for a while, so it was a logical nearby option. We pulled in just before noon on Sunday, and there was already a good crowd. They have plenty of parking out front and on the side, so don't stress about this given the location in the Heights. Upon walking in, we could tell it was bustling with fellow brunches. It is definitely a hole-in-the-wall, so don't expect the full ambiance of El Tiempo or Ninfa's. We were seated immediately by their friendly staff, who quickly got us waters and brought out chips and salsa. My favorite part of any Mexican meal! Chips were hot and crispy, served alongside red salsa and green sauce. Love it. The breakfast menu was extremely expansive. We didn't know where to start since there were so many choices. I normally go straight for chilaquiles, but I felt brave this time and branched out with the machacado con huevo. I had never had this before, but I would compare it to migas, except with shredded dried beef in lieu of tortilla strips. This was absolutely delicious. It was served with roasted potatoes, refried beans, a cheese & jalapeño tamale, and tortillas. This was SO much food. I'm not sure if it was simply the portion size or the fact that I had filled up on chips & salsa, but I ended up taking home some of my meal and it tasted just as good for lunch the next day. My partner ordered the chilaquiles verdes (green sauce), which came with a sausage link, eggs your way, and the roasted potatoes and refried beans. Again, so much food. I tried the chilaquiles and sausage, and both were very tasty. Tortilla chips were super crispy. I am definitely getting the chilaquiles next time! I also ordered a margarita, and let me tell you this was POTENT. I raised my eyebrow when it came out since it came in a small cup, but don't let the size fool you. This one was definitely strong and I'm glad I had plenty of carbs to balance it out. Our server was extremely friendly and took great care of us. Since this was our first time, she gave us excellent recommendations on the breakfast menu, which served as our basis for what we ordered. Okay I am hooked on Teo's! I am surely coming back to try their daily lunch specials and their dinner items. And we are adding this one to our breakfast/brunch rotation. Be back soon! read more

This looked promising on the site, but it wasn't my reality. I ordered 2 taco salads to go. The items were not in a container. They wrapped it in foil and the dressing dripped and made a mess. The meat was cold. There was no cheese. The chips were stale. Ahhh I had high hopes and I was hungry after a long trip. Spending $50+ should have resulted in a better experience! read more

Food and service was excellent. Would love to be a regular and try rest of menu. Will come again.

Teotihuacan Mexican Cafe is a great place to stop for happy hour! The vibe feels very authentic with beautiful and brightly-colored Mexican decorations strung from the ceiling. Recently, a couple of my coworkers and I decided to go to Teo's to celebrate the end of a long work week. We ordered cocktails and margaritas, which were very tasty. The server, who spoke mostly Spanish, had a very difficult time taking my drink order even though the cocktail I ordered was on the restaurant's regular menu. She eventually got it, though, and when it came out it was very yummy! We ordered chips and queso for the table. Nothing to write home about, but it did the job. The entrees that my coworkers ordered were very good, though. They let me taste test everything! The beef fajitas for one was large enough for two people and cooked to perfection. The combination quesadillas were also super tasty! One downside to our experience was that the servers definitely pushed us out once we were done eating. After checking on us a few times, they took our water glasses away without asking, which was our cue to go. Overall, my experience at Teotihuacan was okay. read more

While the parking lot was very crowded when we arrived to Teotuhuacan Mexican Cafe, there wasn't a wait to be seated which was nice. As the weather was beautiful and we were there for lunch, we asked to be seated outside and got a good table. I was surprised at how small the inside was considering how large it looks from the outside. We ordered drinks to start (micheladas and margaritas). You were able to pick the beer for the michelada and my friend selected Pacifico which she likes. I selected a house frozen Margarita and loved it as well. One thing to note with the margs is that they're a lot stronger than you would think (not complaining at all). For food, I ordered the La Chely but switched the green verde enchilada for a cheese enchilada. Everything on the plate was delicious and I'd absolutely order this again! read more

This restaurant deserves more stars. Food is great, service is even better. We go weekly.

Teotihuacan is a bustling, lively, casual spot for texmex that is great for nearly all situations you might find yourself in - birthdays, drinks with some friends, families, whatever you want. The menu has something for everyone. We received kind and quick service from all the hosts and servers who waited on us. They were very attentive despite virtually every table around us being full - I was impressed and grateful for this. They were also very accommodating to our group. We were able to split our bill without a hitch! The food was yummy. My favorite part was that they didn't let your tortilla chips run dry, because that red salsa hits just perfectly. My husband and I split the numero dos for one. The chicken was not the best (a bit dry), but the beef was great. For some reason they keep the shells on the butterflied shrimp, which was not something we predicted before crunching down on the tail. Overall - nothing blew my mind, but for texmex, I was satisfied and very full! Despite ordering a platter "for one", it was just enough food to feed us both, since they are very generous with the portion sizes here. We want to come back with a group of 4 and split one of their large parradillas next time. P.S. Our birthday girl ordered a margarita and swears by them! P.P.S. Come hungry. read more

Why 4 stars? Because, like all of the others, this is a good choice for Tex-Mex. --- --- --- There are 4.8 million Tex-Mex restaurants in the Greater Houston area and 3.2 million of them are 4-stars: they provide enjoyable comfort food that's not going to change your life, but you certainly aren't going to regret it. Teotihuacan is one of the 3.2 million. I found it a few months ago on some "Best Tex-Mex in Houston" list, and have always been interested to try it since then. My wife is always down for Tex-Mex, so on a trip from the northside of town to the southside of town, we made a pit stop here. We did what we always do and ordered chips and queso as an appetizer, and then split beef & chicken fajitas for two. The great: the queso and the tortillas. Also, the time that it took our food to come out, which was shockingly quick. The good: everything else. The most interesting thing about the experience was parking in an overflow lot, which also happened to have a couple of houses in the parking lot. Literally there was a house that was in the parking lot. Parking space, parking space, parking space, 30 feet of pavement.... front door. So weird. And there were also a couple of houses across the street that looked like they had been through a couple of World Wars, but I guess that's the Heights for ya. read more

We happened to find this place out of the wind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Looks small from the outside but it is actually big![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As expected they placed 2 baskets of tortilla chips and their salsa for the 5 of us. Chips and salsa were good start. We ordered 1 combo fajita, 2 chicken burritos, and 1 vegetable fajita. Huge portions. I like that they make their tortillas in house, even for the burritos. No complaints at all on my burrito. I also think everyone else enjoyed their dish as well. Great service even with a party of about 20 sitting by us. The owner was wonderful as he made time to talk to us. read more

I'm sad to report that this is just another Tex-Mex restaurant that appears to be Mexican. Name and all. The service was slow and it wasn't that busy. The michelada tasted watered down. The engúllala sauce tasted like it was from a can but just a little worse. The salsa was ok. There's bars on the windows. So it doesn't seem like the safest place to go. I would not recommend this to my family and friends. read more

I know all the mainstream Tex Mex spots in town- no hate- but I wanted to find something more low key and authentic. I had an overwhelming number of people recommend teotihuacan! Came out on a Tuesday night with a friend. Parking was very full in the front but there's a few overflow lots in the back. I was immediately seated- no wait. There was a mariachi band playing when I got there- and a table who kept requesting music. While it was beautiful, it was QUITE loud. I was happy when the table ran out of songs to request. The waitress was super attentive. I didn't have anything to drink but others had margaritas that looked tasty. Ordered the pork carnitas enchilada verdes- 10/10. I'm still dreaming about it. They also had so many combo plate options in case you are indecisive or want to try multiple things! Our tab was less than 20 dollars per person. I'll definitely be back! read more

Very racist , lady acted like she didn't speak English and then when I came to the restaurant she spoke it very clearly. Understood everything and it was the same lady because I asked for her name.

Never again, BASURA! read more

I have had lunch here a couple times. I had the build your own combo lunch. Today I had fajita taco and quesadilla with Charon beans. Both were great. Meat was tender and tortillas were homemade. The rice today was a little dry, but the beans made up for that. The service is outstanding and the wait time is short during lunch. Note: the red sauce with the chips is to die for. The red sauce is served warm, which makes it taste amazing. read more

IN HOUSTON NOT SAN DIEGO It is so sad to see one of your favorite restaurants so obviously give up on offering anything even resembling quality, passion, care about thier customers and willing to offer such an inferior product. I ordered the Cheese nachos before and they were a mountain of chips, cheese and were awesome. This time when i got home it two tortillas, greasy cheap cheese with grease running off it and one jalapeno and sour cream for 17 dollars. This wasnt even to the standards of Taco cabana...the Quesadilla was no better. This has been one of my faves and they obviously have made the decision to close and get as much $$$ out of customers while they can...Go to La Hacienda behind loews, amything but the SOB who steals turtles from canyon creek read more

I've had this spot in my rotation for a couple of years now. It can be super packed, super warm sometimes inside, but the margaritas and beer always cold. Feels like a neighborhood spot, more than a texmex giant, and the staff are super friendly. Definitely great with little kids. I've eaten a lot of the menu at this point, and always impressed when I try something new. Parking can be a little eww, but the back lot, and the lot kitty corner behind it usually have a spot or two open. Their Cinco de Mayo celebration is quite the sight too if you happen to catch it. read more
