    The place is cute!!! Decor is unique! The food truck look inside is awesome!! All the Mexican characters as skeleton's is funny!! If you know you know... let's focus on the food too The customer service is great! They really try their best! The prices are not bad at all!!!! The menu is extensive but I love that they have so many authentic Mexican food!! Ordered the 3 small taquitos de carne asada and the banderitas which is rolled taquitos with beef! Yes small but packed with beef!! Not stingy at all!!! The beef flavor is so delicious, they are definitely doing the right thing here!! The salsas are amazing! Savory and spicy but delicious and yum fresh pico de gallo!!!! Parking lot as a plus for me because lots of areas around here don't have parking! Here plenty!!! Add some background music!! That will be just perfect!

    Asada Beef Sopes
    Kennedy W.

    I was hungry and decided to dine in for lunch. I loved the eclectic decor and how I felt like I was ordering from a food truck outside. Service was nice and fast. They give you a buzzer to pick your food up. I got the beef asada sopes which were good. Wish there was a little more flavor and I should asked for a lime. I also got the tres leches with strawberries. I typically don't like tres leches because the idea of a soaked cake doesn't sit well with me but this cake was delicious. Probably the second best I've had (which I guess doesn't say much because I typically don't order it). I also got the horchata which was pretty standard in taste. Overall, I had a good lunch and would come back if I was in the area.

    Asada Beef Torta
    Jessica S.

    It is a cute spot with a Mexican traditional vibe and very spacious. The meat was flavorful, the portion sizes not so great, hence the picture of the torta. The salsas appeared to be somewhat diluted. When we requested grilled onions for the torta, we were informed that it wasn't possible, which was disappointing. Additionally, the restrooms could have been cleaner, especially considering we visited on a weekday before 5 PM and were one of only three customers.

    This taco place feels truly authentic, with amazing handmade corn tortillas that really make a difference. Everything's delicious. The vibe is incredible, it honestly feels like stepping into a taco spot in Mexico City, with so many thoughtful little details. Everything from the food to the atmosphere comes together perfectly.

    Chicken Mole Taco & Asada Beef Taco

    I came here with my friend after we went to the gym for a nice post-workout meal. I'm happy to say that we had a great meal! I got the chicken mole tacos and the beef tacos and they were fantastic. Freshly made and I could taste every ingredient. I am a bigger guy and 6 tacos were just about right for me. This is an authentic place. The tacos are a bit pricey given that they're not that big, but overall it was worth it. The servers are so nice and the restaurant is huge on the inside - there's plenty of seating, I would return!

    I like this place cheap, good and fun. It's a spacious restaurant with lots of TV. Food is good and price range $7-for 3 tacos or flautas. The portion is small but for me was Ok. They change theme decorations frequently so you can see different decor every few months

    Quesadilla
    Jane D.

    Good, ig-- price isn't bad. Quesadillas are very small. Yummy ish. No salt on chips or guac, so if ur low sodium that's good ig. Super FUN ambiance and good service though!! There is a howling sound (for Halloween?) that keeps playing, which is something.

    A local casual Mexican spot which has been open for years. We came to get some tacos while in the area. The restaurant was decked out for Pride month! Service was minimal, order your food and drink at the counter and pick up when they are ready. There is also a self service utensils and salsa bar. We tried the Pastor taco, spicy brisket tinga tacos, Pastor pork sopes, and chilaquiles. I'm not a fan of either the red or green salsa. The chilaquiles were the best thing we ordered, solid 4/5. The tacos and sopes were just alright, 2.5-3 /5. Overall, the dishes here have pretty good price value, but the flavors and quality of food were subpar compared to other authentic Mexican taco joints.

    Same as it ever was. Reliable, with a large menu at a good price. They still have Barbie related decor, which your kids may enjoy, and a 12 foot skeleton inside. The food is good. Better than most fast casual and the vibe remains chill. The drink selection is good, but the non-alcoholic drink may be even better. I had a Rusa that was delicious enough to make me forget it was non-alcoholic.

    Have not been here in a few years, we were in the area and decided to stop by. It's obviously a very casual Mexican spot that leans more towards authentic rather than the fusion style. Service is pretty minimal as you just order and pick it up and clean up after yourself. We tried the chilaquiles, Al pastor tacos, and their shredded/stewed meat tacos, and Al pastor sopes. Their salsa bar is very disappointing, both their red and green salsas don't work for my palette. The Al pastor meat is good if you like heavy pineapple pairing with it. Their shredded meat is very subpar and I had trouble finishing it off. Value wise, it's very affordable; it's about $6-7 per 3 mini tacos and about the same for 2 sopes. Flavor wise, it is below some of the other taco spots that we've been frequenting

    I have been eating at 100% taquito since I was a kid and every time I go back to Houston it is one of my must haves! The restaurant is counter service where you receive a buzzer to alert you when your food is ready. You'll then pick it up from a counter. Appetizer/snack items are usually ready first. My go to order is the beef banderitas only with cheese & crema only plus an order of beef banderitas with everything. They are nice and crisp with plenty of salsa & crema to add moisture to and prevent the taquitos from being dry. I recommend using a fork to pick up the taquitos by stabbing them through the opening on one end. This way your hands don't get salsa on them! The pork rinds are the best! They always come out so fresh and hot that they're still popping & crackling. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual and quirky with fun decorations for every season, holiday, & pop culture event. Even with the restaurant being indoors you feel like you're eating mexican street food from your fav taco truck.

    Rice and Rice & Beans Mix, Spicy Brisket Tinga Quesadilla, Chipotle Flautas (Chicken)
    Sabrina T.

    Solid 3.5/5. Ordered for takeout here and arrived at the estimated completion time. Walked right in and they got our order immediately. Ordered a handful of things and they all came out hot and freshly made. Chipotle Flautas (Chicken) - There were 3 small flautas topped with cheese. It was very savory and you could definitely taste the chipotle. A little soggier than expected but still good. Rice and Beans mix - Good. Standard rice and black beans. Chips and Salsa - chips were thick and came in a large bag. The salsa was tomatoey and had a good amount of spiciness. Beef Asada Tostada - 2 small tostadas that were crunchy and fresh. The beef was tender and flavorful. Spicy brisket tinga quesadillas - 3 small quesadillas. best thing we ordered. Super moist brisket and soft flour tortillas. The thick layer of cheese inside was delicious. Ordered a lot of food and everything was pretty affordable! Parking is easy here since there's a big lot in front of the restaurant. Staff is efficient. The inside was decorated pretty eccentrically. Cool for photo ops. Also had a ton of seating and space. Good for large groups.

    Linh T.

    Probably the best tacos I've had so far. I've literally been back twice within the last 2 weeks. I always have to get the chips and salsa, asada beef tacos, and pastor pork tacos every single time. The garlic shrimp tacos are also very good. The banderitas beef flautas were also really good. Everything always tastes really fresh and flavorful. I always look forward to coming back every time.

Met the ladies here to celebrate, & break bread…read more Thank you Jamila for selecting this original location of the Original Ninfas, to host, (our last supper, before your relocation from Houston to Florida.). A place I grew up in as a little girl in Beaumont but never have I've visit this "original" location. Stepping in to this spot felt like a restaurant in the country of Mexico. I ordered the El Henry. I absolutely loved my dish, only thing I would've chance was the cheese enchilada definitely would've swap for a chicken or beef one, or maybe even a flaunta. I really like the Mexican rice, it had little potatoes and carrots in it. Some of the best Mexican yellow rice I've had. They offer a cinco de mayo drink special. The only thing that seem to make it special was the drinks apparently were limited edition menu items. Nothing was special about the prices. The regular menu drinks were a dollar(s) less. The margarita I ordered first was peach coconut. I didn't taste the coconut at all. I swap for the peach strawberry ($14 or 15) which was great, sweet& strong. One did me just right. You get to select up to two flavors for additional $2 (for both verse each, that's a plus. Not worded on menu). If you select a third flavor an additional $2 would be added ($4 in total) I appreciate separate tickets provided after confirmation and no additional gratuity automatically added, which he got tip equally the same or more. When asked about the "empty" patio that was available, he informed us that the entire deck was reserved. Upon departing I noticed from the parking lot individual tables, of separate parties were occupying only 3 tables. It was 8 of us sitting at 2 tables. Which the table was pushed up against the wall, and one side was inaccessible, which took away spacing. Service was lovely space was really tight. Good thing some of the ladies didn't order full meals. Definitely wouldn't have been able to fit every plate.

Our server was efficient took our our order and in a few minutes, we had sizzling fajitas at the table....With all of the anticipated queso, chips, salsa, and condiments for our fajitas. The flavor of our steak fajitas was excellent, after dinner Ninfa's offers a free shuttle bus to the baseball park. They drop you off and pick you up after the game. Unfortunately, Houston did not win, but we thoroughly enjoyed the meal before the game. If you're looking for traditional Mexican dinner, do not miss Ninfa's.

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!

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.

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?

    (NOTE: ONLINE MENU ISNT COMPLETELY UP TO DATE)…read more First time here and had a great brunch experience! My husband's cousin raved about having dinner here the week prior so we decided to try out the Sunday brunch. My husband and I were somewhat skeptical at first based off of the photos. This is not our typical Mexican food. The plates looked a lot smaller online, but I am so glad we tried it because it was delicious!! To start we had a few drinks: 1. Flor de Fuego - it tasted like agua de jamaica with a splash of citrus, in my opinion it was very refreshing 9/10 2. Frozen Margarita - my husband's cousin ordered this in a yeti tumbler, he said the margarita was really good except it was a bit hard to drink since it was frozen the whole time lol 8.5/10 ***tumbler was an additional cost. It is a 16oz yeti. They do offer $10 refills anytime you bring the cup back 3. My husband drank a pacifico. Classic beer. They offered it in both bottle and in glass. 9/10. 4. Carafe mango mimosa - this served about 4 drinks total. It was very champagne forward with the tiniest amount of juice 7.5/10 APPETIZERS: 1. Housemade Bacon w/ Salsa Ranchera - in my opinion this was DELICIOUS. The salsa on this was amazinggg. This dish also comes with a side of authentic flour tortillas. 10/10 2. Tiradito de Hamachi - meh, it was good but wouldn't order again. It literally just tasted like strawberries with a salty aftertaste. We really wanted the aguachiles but they were no longer on the brunch menu. 6.5/10 3. Enfrijoladas - surprisingly this had a lot of flavor, it was paired with the same salsa at the bacon 10/10 ENTREES: 1. Ensalada de cesar - pretty solid, very lemony 8/10 2. Steak and eggs - this was really good, i would say that the steak looked a lot bigger online but it was still overall a delicious filling dish 9.5/10 3. Chilaquiles Divorciados - Probably my favorite thing on the menu. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS WITH THE BARBACOA! It had so much flavor to it and the barbacoa just melts in your mouth 10/10 4. Bacon Burrito - the other couple ordered this and said they enjoyed it, we all expected it to be a lot bigger though 8/10 DESSERT: 1. Tres Leches - the jam on this wasnt my favorite. It was very overpowering. The cake itself was really good. Would order again with fresh strawberries, no jam 7.5/10 2. Banana Pudding Bunelo - its your typical bunelo with a small amount of banana cream filling, topped with homemade banana ice cream 7.5/10 3. Masa Pancake - I am not the biggest fan of pancakes so I didn't try it but the other couple enjoyed it OVERALL: 9/10 experience!!! Total for our portion (Hamachi, 2 drinks, salad, steak, chilaquiles, and tres leches) came out to a total of about $120. We Will definitely be coming back to try out their dinner menu.

Another highlight was the steak course and the heavenly chocolate dessert course, which was expertly paired with their take on an espresso martini. Chef's kiss! The restaurant is actually quite tiny, and I found it to be on the warm/muggy side, and it wasn't even that hot outside. Also, from a decor perspective, they could certainly use a "freshening up" though perhaps a newer larger location would be a better idea. Still, based solely on the food, my foodie friends and I agreed we would absolutely be back. Their Bibendum nod is well-deserved!

In addition to this, there can be a significant 2-4 hour wait to get seated during peak hours. However, all of the customers I spoke with stated that once you were able to sit down, the overall experience was worth waiting for. The main feature that makes Doña Leti's stand out from other restaurants is its focus on tradition in terms of how the food is made. Each dish has very unique flavors. The dishes are also very large portions and offer a great amount of comfort while still being high end. Additionally, the drink offerings are an excellent choice. They are made with the same attention to detail as the meals, and add to the flavor and enjoyment of your meal. The staff provides exceptional service even though the establishment is full. The staff keeps up with the large number of people coming in and out with a sense of professionalism and friendliness. One thing that Doña Leti's does exceptionally well is provide a lot of food for the price. As long as you don't mind waiting for your table, you will have a wonderful dining experience. The fact that Doña Leti's is so busy is proof that the service, food and drinks are all good, and well worth the wait

    Get the pork belly bites and their cocktails are delicious…read more If you're here on a Sunday for brunch and have a sweet tooth the French toast is unforgettable. No other French toast will come close. Their homemade sauces make more tantalizing. If you like salty spicy, get the jojo sauce. I don't think it's on the menu And to finish, personally I like cocktails but their fresh filled churros are super fun. And can't beat the fresh factor! Brandon is an excellent attentive server. He knows the menu in and out. He'll steer you right. It's a neighborhood gem

    We had a 70th & 60th birthday celebration at Ambriza's Vintage, and we were very impressed and…read moresatisfied with how beautiful and perfect everything turned out. Rodrigo & Araceli were amazing, ensuring everything was going smoothly and according to plan. Our servers Augusto and Christian, were very attentive, kind, and on point with our food and drinks. Food was exquisite and portions were generous, cooked to perfection. The churros with chocolate and the complimentary photos for the birthday girls was the cherry on top. Ambriza's management & staff truly know how to make their guests feel special. They went above and beyond, exceeding all of our expectations. Definitely having more celebrations here in the future! On behalf of me & my family, THANK YOU again for the excellent service and making this a memorable night!! Barbie Artiga

    A Cali girl-lala enjoying some Tex Mex…read more While in HTX I was able to meet up with a friend from college. He mentioned margaritas (not pictured) and food! So we met at Candente. Upon walking in the restaurant was clean it was pretty packed for a Wednesday night but the aroma of the food! OMG! Our server was really nice and patient because my friend and I talked for about 30 minutes before we finally ordered our food. He has the beef enchiladas with rice and black beans. He cleaned his plate...literally not a grain of rice in sight! I had the smoked chicken verde enchiladas and WOW! What an amazing dish. I consider myself a Mexican food connoisseur especially being from California. I have always said Tex Mex?.....eeeeyuck! But Candente has changed my tune! I will definitely be back to visit when I return!

    Glowing red. Burning. Candente…read more Let me start by saying that I'm not into Mexican food unless it's an auntie or grandma making it at their house. I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.
