Read some great reviews on this Viet-cajun crawfish spot in SE Houston and decided to give it a…read moretry. It's in a small plaza ( semi sketchy area) on Fuqua right off of 45. I went at 430 for a pickup order and the entire restaurant was packed. Picked up their 5 LB crawfish boil bag for 35 which is a steal for Viet crawfish and shrimp fried rice for 16. The crawfish were seasoned really well with viet spices and were huge as it's peak season. The fried rice was flavorful with their star sauce and 1 lb of shrimp. A great spot and much more affordable option to nearby alternative like Crawfish cafe.

The place seemed great on paper, and reading other reviews was very promising. Sad to say it was…read morefar from tasting great, I ordered "The Box" and there was no flavor profile at all. A plate that looked so colorful and full of flavor was just sadness in my mouth. I also ordered the Gumbo, and I can safely say that our friends from the boot would feel extremely disrespected. The final nail in the coffin for me was the star sauce and K-sauce, both of these were just full of salt with no flavor or spice to them.

I went to get my…read moredrivers license replaced, and surprisingly, it was quick and painless, so with some extra time to spare, I figured I'd get crawfish before I went back to work. Pulled up my handy dandy Yelp open and what did you know 4.5 stars and enroute to my house (I work from home). The Plaza was a bit sketchy, not a lot of cars in the entire Plaza. But Yelp said it was good so I went forward trusting the process OMG!!!! First...$7.99/lb WINNING! I ordered egg rolls... DELICIOUS AND FRIED TO PERFECTION. But let's get to the real highlight of this trip. I ordered 2lbs, house special seasoning, spicy with corn, sausage, and potatoes. I could have done without the sausage. It's ok. The corn and potato were cooked perfectly. But the crawfish....OOOOOOHHHH the crawfish. Flavored to the gawds....and HUGE! Like all.of.them. not just one or 2...maybe 1 or 2 were small lol WINNING!!!! Then as if it could be any better....a nice gentleman paid for my meal and just asked that I tip the waiter. Gladly! JACKPOT!!!! GOD IS SO GOOD! Can't wait to pay that blessing forward!! Baby when I tell you I couldn't get home fast enough to post this review. Please visit if you can...you won't be disappointed. I will be back!

The sauce did them in before they hit the table, and whatever crispiness they had going didn't survive the saucing process. Soggy wings are a personal affront. The shrimp were fine and completely forgettable. The tacos were the high point, which isn't a ringing endorsement given the competition at the table. Everything comes with a mountain of fries. An Everest of fries. We left probably two-thirds of them behind and I have no guilt about it. But the space. The space is genuinely great. Live music, big screens everywhere, neon all over the place, open layout that breathes. You can feel how this place goes off on the right night with the right crowd. It's built for a party, not a quiet dinner catch-up with a friend, we basically had to lean in and half-shout the whole time. If you're going for the atmosphere and a beer and some food that's good enough, Pochitos delivers. If you're going specifically for the wings, maybe recalibrate. Would come back for the right occasion, just not expecting the kitchen to be the main event.

I was so surprised by the spaciousness and the ambiance makes you feel like your outside but are indoors. I opted for the Pochito Roll, shrimp tempura with snow crab. It was actually good and only 9.99 before 7. My drink was really good and very strong. They had a mariachi band playing as well. I have gone back once already. Service was good and very fast. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. This will definitely be an afterwork happy hour spot!

The high ratings and reviews inspired me to try something new and in glad i did. This place is in a strip mall right next to a Cicis pizza (which i haven't seen in ages). there are plenty of tables inside and out to sit for large and small groups! The menu is huge. i ordered 30 shrimp with a choice of fried rice or fries for like $15. i also ordered the buffalo wings and decided to sit inside and eat. it looks like they get A LOT of to go orders. shrimp was so good and well seasoned. the shrimp alone is why i'm going back! the fried rice was okay. the wings were hot and i was surprised the buffalo sauce came on the side which im glad it did! what a Gem this place is!

So I decided to give this place to try with my girlfriend and I absolutely enjoyed it. The food is really good. I went with my normal, two piece, fish and six shrimp and I have to say it was absolutely amazing. One thing they didn't have is the habanero hot sauce which I love from mambos. Also, I think mambos has way better fried rice, but I will give Mannys this they have eggrolls which were absolutely amazing and I've never seen any of their competitors so props to them for that. They are very tasty too! The prices are great too! Whenever I am in the SE I'll definitely give them a try. However I do wish they would start stocking the habanero hot sauce.

They were very friendly and greeted everyone with warm welcome. Although the restaurant is small, it can fit a lot of people without feeling crowded. It can accommodate small and big family group and the restaurant is perfect for Mexican food and seafood. They have many food options from seafood:oysters, shrimp, fish, octopus, crawfish and crab. They have the options to boils, fried or grilled. They also have some Asian fusion with fried rice and lo mien. Some of my favorite dishes was the Tilapia chips, broccoli and shrimp fried rice, tostadas and the chips with guac and pico. The tilapia chips was so fresh, silky and crispy. The chips and quac were home made and had the perfect crunch. Definitely go check out their amazing food if you are in the area!!!!

I got to meet the owner Rick. he said that the restaurant was coming up on 12 years of being open. He was super nice and recommended some dishes to try. I got the octopus tostada, fried fish and shrimp with french fries, grilled chicken wings, guacamole, and salsa with tostada chips, tilapia chips, a shrimp and broccoli with fried rice, special and a snow crab cluster boil. I was so full by the end of my meal and had leftovers for days. I really enjoyed the octopus tostada the flavor was delicious and refreshing. The tilapia chips were crispy and paired with a nice light tartar sauce that helped to counter the crunchiness of the fried fish. The guacamole and salsa were both super fresh and perfectly seasoned. The restaurant itself is pretty large with long tables, booths and a bar great for family dinners or big parties. The servers were super sweet and came to check on me on multiple occasions. The pricing is super fair for seafood in this economy. Overall I had a great time getting to know the owner and to try all the different variety menu items. If you are ever in the area make sure to stop by and grab a tostada!
