Benito's closed over a month ago. It was a great place for wonderful Mexican food. They will be missed!! read more

This place is tucked away in a forgotten part of town. Family owned Mexican restaurant where the owner greets everyone that comes in. Went in for the buffet during lunch and had the best Damn cheese enchiladas. The other things, (stuffed bell pepper, refried and charro beans, rice) were fantastic but the star of the show. The service was good, and there were several visits to our table just to check in. I couldn't imagine trying to maintain a small family owned business for 50 years. This place deserves the support of the community. read more

Enchiladas are always good. Very tasteful. Taco salads are very good too. Service is great and attentive. Average size place. Good atmosphere. Good prices. read more

Great food & service! Ample parking. Wide variety of food selection. Margarita was fabulous! We will go back. Wonderful family dinner.

If I could give this place 1000 stars I would! A local mom & pop restaurant in a small town...a true gem! I've been going here for years (since I was a little girl) and it's always been great! The chips and salsa are amazing!!! I believe they have All you can eat fajitas on Thursdays. And the lunch buffet is great also! read more

They advertise the Best enchiladas, and they weren't bragging. They are excellant best I've ever had, the gravy and cheese blended together into deliciousness. The outside doesn't look like much but the food is top shelf. read more

It is the best food & the service is good too! I recommend you go here for the best Mexican food!!

I am a confessed Mexican Food connoisseur. If you do not like chain restaurants ( I do not) then this is the place for you. The enchiladas are the BEST. The complementary beans ala chara soup are the tastiest. I rate the salsa and chips as 10/10. Every item on my plate was fresh. The ambiance supports the old school family operation that chain restaurants don't possess. Service is always impeccable. I am surrounded by Mexican restaurants and pass at least 4 on my way here. It is my entire families go to. I have NEVER been disappointed!! read more

Excellent service. Friendly family. The definitive choice in good Mexican food with the best cheese enchiladas.

Let me Begin by saying that this is definitely old school Mexican restaurant from the building to the decor you feel like you've walked into a little city of Mexico. The service was fabulous and you get complimentary pinto beans which was very tasteful and delicious. The chips were nice and crispy and the salsa had a fabulous flavor. For an appetizer we ordered the nacho loco which had a fabulous flavor with queso on top of the nachos which is a great idea instead of grated cheese. We ordered the beef enchiladas which were nice and hot and had a very nice homemade flavor to them and a Mexican salad. The Mexican salad was missing some ingredients carrots broccoli cilantro onions and bell pepper I did ask for fajita meat which had a good flavor but was a little tough. Basically what I got was a taco salad with lettuce cheese and jalapenos. Love the large cups of ice water in this Texas heat. read more

My husband drove down to the area to respond to the hurricane relief efforts and decided to grab lunch. He was very excited when he found this authentic Mexican food joint. He said these tacos were excellent and the place was very clean and the person behind the counter was very friendly!! I also would like to add that because he was in his military uniform to help aid in the hurricane relief, they paid for his meal which was very much appreciated!!! read more

Benito's International - Picture perfect tacos!! Mmm! - Mexican Near Me - La Marque, Texas

Came in today with my husband and our toddler for the enchilada buffet. We left with happy tummies and wallets. The owner was so so kind and enthusiastic. We will definitely return for the fajita buffet :) read more

I love this place. It's been a LaMarque staple for years. Delicious home cooked dishes and during the week they have a buffet. Thanks

If mom is in kitchen all can be good. Haven't been in a while. She makes some good enchiladas and all her food is pretty good. But like I said it's been a little while.. try it . 10-31-23 read more

All I can say is... never judge a book by its cover!!! This place is amazing!! The margaritas are fantastic and the good is exceptional!! My only regret is this restaurant isn't closer to where I live!! This place is 5 star for its authentic taste and fantastic margaritas!!!!! read more

Good hole in the wall mexican restaurant across the street from the police station. Lunch buffet ($8.75) had beef tacos, cheese enchiladas, carne guisada and stuffed bell peppers, rice and beans. A side table has cold items: pico, sour cream, cheese and pickled jalapenos. The best item was easily the guisada. This is a pretty good deal since menu items range between nearly $6 and 10, for lunch. They also have fajita and enchilada buffet on Thursday nights. The interior of the restaurant has a dark cave like feel, with decent atmosphere and reminds me of Terraza in the older part of Texas City. read more

I have to avow that Benito's is absolutely, hands down the best family owned and operated Mexican restaurant in this neck of the woods. I have deprived myself of their palate tickling morsels for tooooo long! Hubby and I went for the AYCE enchiladas and fajitas buffet tonight. WOW!!!!!!!every item tasted as good or better than the last time we went there. HOME MADE FRESH FLOUR TORTILLAS. Retried beans, hot off the grill beef and chicken fajitas.... Menu for buffet is limited in variety, but not quality, quanity, or freshness. read more

Absolutely home cooked food! Very tasty beans and rice ,tortillas Great Mexican Food The drinks are wonderful especially the Margaritas! Also read more

Food was ok. The queso was salty. The beans weren't seasoned enough ( horrible ) the rice was ehh. I wouldn't go back.

The guy taking the orders is nice enough. The food is not bad, it is just not memorable really. I ate there twice. Both times I suffered a bit of a stomach ache the next day. Not sure what ingredient may have caused that, but have decided it not a place I will go back to. read more

Very good food...great service. Definitely a win!! I will continue to eat here and enjoy the wonderful food and service. The Thursday night buffet is good (fajitas and enchiladas with all the sides) and very inexpensive. read more

Went here expecting a good family owned hole in the wall type place. Was very disappointed. The "queso" is nothing but melted Velveeta. The cheese enchiladas tasted a bit off, like they were made with ingredients that were a bit past their "best by" date. I don't recommend it. Taco Bell is better than this place and cheaper too. read more

Mexican food is my favorite and Benitos does not disappoint! Out of the way but worth finding. Always good food.

Excellent Carne Guisada, love the Benito Special Dinner with stuffed bell pepper, neighborhood restaurant with quality food since 1968.

Delicious food and friendly service!! The owner always takes care of my family when we go. I'm usually there once a month but my family goes probably two or three times a month. I've only had their sea bass which is amazing. They offer it only on certain days so call and ask. read more

Just discovered this place. Good Value for money. Lunch buffet is great. We will have to add this one to our regular lunch restaurant rotation. Buffet includes Enchiladas, stuffed bell pepper, carne guisada, boracho beans, refried beans, rice, tamales, chalupas. All were good. read more

Working in the area and checked yelp for a good local place to eat. Found Benito's and what a good find. At first a little hesitant as there weren't many patrons during the time we were there, but once inside the gentleman that waited on us was super nice & quick. He told us that the restaurant had been there since 1968, family owned, and that everything was made fresh..no canned or frozen. I must say it was the best Mexican food that I've had in quite sometime. Delicious, super fresh, not greasy. Needless to say, next time we are in the area I am already looking forward to going back! read more
