    Fried tilapia

    Friendly service, clean restaurant, and the food was great!! Everything came out freshly made and crispy. Also very generous portions- two could share a meal but there are too many options to just pick one!

    Food was soo good I went 2 days in a row. Inside is small and gets packed in the evening. I ordered online and pick up was quick and easy.

    Chicken Fried Rice and 5 Piece Wings Combo

    The wings and fries, are always GOOD!!! I gave it 2 stars because of the wings. This time, I got, the 5 piece wings (Teriyaki Flavored) and Chicken rice. The picture is a little messy because I moved the rice around. Why because the rice was extra hard...not cooked completely and I was biting into bones!!! Not sure, where the bones, came from but I would not be getting that again. I'll just, stick to the Wings and Fries.

    Hot right off the grill.

    Here Today ! Noooo way would anyone visit South Park (or is it Sunny side?) w/out eating at one of the most talked about yummy yum yumm legendary restaurants of the South American Deli. My friend-girl turned her nose up when I suggested we eat here, she's from the country so she knows nothing about hood eating,..so my treat. Depending on how her taste buds are nagging her she'll eat meat but she be trying to do right with me and stay away from animal. I suggested the fried chicken cause "WE" luv us some fried chicken but she/we settled on Shrimp Fried Rice and a side of catfish. Now this new location is further down Cullen so i hoped the seasoning and concept was the same and it was with the exception the own excitement of our presence was welcoming as we entered. We order and waited longer than expected due to the many of phone in to-go orders. She started complaining as I sat there with a grin on my face, leg twitching like a geek cause I knew she/we was just hangry. After she opened her box and she saw the golden brown catfish awaiting her and the shrimp peeking out her rice, she calmed herself and growling belly down. I was still preparing my hot sauce on my fish, added 2 packs of soy sauce to only a side portion of my rice (had to be fixed just right) took a sip of my cool aid to slippery glide my food down she was across from me smacking and commenting on how worth the wait the food was. After she ate most of her food, the complained on all the rice. In defense of shrimp fried rice which she's not familiar with cause she's from the country, I commented that's what shrimp fried rice was composed of...rice and shrimp. Funny cause she burped and hiccup looking over in my box asking if I was going to eat my "comebread" :))))) (from the movie Life) As their other location, 3 cooks and diabetic sweet free refill cool aid. ( they need 3 cooks due to the volume of orders). Aaaaaabsolutely will return each time I'm in the area! Here Today! There Tomorrow!

    This place customer service is amazing! The food is always fresh and so good. Even when I went in person, the restaurant is very clean, comfortable, the owner should be proud! This is my go to wing spot now and I order from here often! They sent me some cute trinkets.

    Had to take my boys here when came in from the 305. The old…read moreschool atmosphere with Sinatra playing and red booths gave you the feel of nostalgia. Servers dressed up and ready to serve ginormous portions of whatever you want for breakfast or lunch. Bring a large appetite. Large size sweet and sour pickles come 1st to table . Fresh squeezed juice as flavorful as ones we had on Amalfi coast. Signature Reuben served open or closed with thousand island dressing and extra sauerkraut was large enough to share for the boys. Their signature chicken soup with a bagel chip was served steamy hot as we like it. Even has the world largest chocolate Eclair filled with bavariancreme and topped with chocolate. This place would be popular in S. Florida and very happy is here for the locals. Looking forward to a return.

    I pass this restaurant many times.. finally try it. I see the picture of pie cake are so delicious,…read moreso I buy whole big apple pie Togo . It look very cool and different not same as other . Inside tone of apple which is good but the outside crust are not crispy and no test . I think is too much apple makes the pie soft and feel like eating apples only and the apple I can feel ice test inside the apple . Very DISAPPOINT . Service : terrible , bad, basic service polite don't even have . (remember we only walk to buy to go already feel that, I can) Ambiance : good huge very nice decoration.

    I went to Phoenicia Specialty foods for the first time ever and realized I have wasted the last 8…read moreyears since I moved to Houston having never been here before, because wow! I mean my pocket book is probably better for it because I want to buy the whole store but honestly I've been missing out. The place is cute and welcoming from the corner sign on the building to the moment you step in- bright, inviting, great displays so you know where to go. You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing. And I thought the prices were going to be insane having a spot right in the middle of the city and nope- pleasantly surprised for my goodies, great prices even less than some of the other stores I frequent in the suburbs. I'll be back again and again and again until I try the whole store lol. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it

    My niece and I checked out Phoenicia's for lunch, which was surprisingly delicious…read more My niece has simplistic tastes, so she opted for the chicken burger, which I tried of course. Perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior. The sweet potato fries were equally delicious. I got the Hill Country salad. Same tender but crispy chicken on a bed of greens with berries. So good. Definitely bookmarked as a return option.
