TLDR: - Limited Parking…read more- Understaffed - Delicious food and drink - Affordable and great pricing I saw this business being recommended in one of the Top Places to try in Houston. Upon arrival, the parking was small and limited. We parked on a side street, but keep in mind this was a Thursday at 1pm, parking was already full. Once heading inside we waited for a couple of minutes and the greeter was also the online order taker, to go order taker and giver and was taking orders online. We were told to sit anywhere we liked and we did, there were about two servers who seemed d extremely busy and rushed. We waited around 10 minutes before given menus and asked for an our drinks. We received our drinks fast and they tasted wonderful, we got the cinnamon coffee and it has tasted better than any other cafe de olla from any Mexican brunch restaurant or cafe. We then proceeded to ordered our food, I ordered chilaquiles en guajillo with two scrambled eggs. My partner ordered el asado de puerco. The food came promptly and tasted amazing ! The prices were great and affordable. This is a must try place with family or as a date! if you do come as a family, make sure all the guests from your parties are there in person, if not they will not seat you.

Had a random weekday off and decided to have brunch with friends and knock off a place on our…read morefoodie list. Cochinita & Co caught my attention because of owner and chef Victoria Elizondo who was a James Beard semifinalist, Culture Map chef of the year and her restaurant was ranked as one of the top 100 in Houston. The restaurant is located near EaDo and is easy to find. It's in a small strip of businesses so parking can be tight when it's busy. We came with about 30 minutes left for breakfast before they rolled out their lunch menu. There was a few tables of people enjoying their breakfast, but the place got really busy about an hour into lunch. Customer service was great. I needed help making some ordering decisions and the staff steered me in the right direction. I specifically came for breakfast. I started off with an iced Horchata Latte. This drink was excellent. You got all the flavors of a traditional horchata with the cinnamon while still having the coffee flavor present. It was a very well balanced drink. For my entree I went with their popular chilaquiles. They said this is their number one seller for breakfast and I could totally see why. I went with the red chile salsa for the spicy version, but you can also get it with a salsa verde. It comes with black beans, fried egg (you can request a different cook if you desire), crema, queso fresco and green onions. You can add a protein for an additional charge. I added chorizo to mine. Chilaquiles is not something I ever order but I had to try it here. I am so glad I went out of my comfort zone because this dish was amazing. Now I've had bites here and there of chilaquiles but was never blown away, hence me not ordering it. The chips were coated throughout and kept it's crunch through the whole meal. All the components of the dish worked in perfect harmony. I liked mine with the chorizo addition. The egg was nice and runny and I would consider adding another egg next time. It was a generous portion and a heavy meal, but I powered through the whole thing because it was so good. They had a nice display of baked goods and I could not pass up the pretty cinnamon roll. I got the last one and it looked very promising. It ended up being just ok. They served it room temp so it ate very dry. It would have been good if it was heated up and gooey. We ended up wasting most of it. Overall, this visit was long overdue but worth the wait. I'm still thinking about the chilaquiles a week later. I will most definitely be back to check out more of their menu.

Very solid spot for a date night, couple's brunch, or a family meal!…read moreThis place is a great option whether you're looking for a romantic date night, a relaxed brunch as a couple, or even bringing the whole immediate family. It's definitely family-friendly, though I wouldn't recommend it for a very large group since seating seems a bit limited. For a standard family of 3-5, though, it should work just fine. The food was genuinely excellent. They make their corn tortillas in-house, which really elevates the dishes. The salsas are fresh and flavorful -- just a heads-up: the habanero salsa is seriously spicy! If you're not used to really hot food, I'd steer clear of that one. My wife ordered the chilaquiles and she's pretty picky when it comes to authenticity and traditional flavors. She really enjoyed it overall and said the flavors were spot-on. Her only small note was that it was a bit overly sauced. That said, they were very generous with the meat, which made it satisfying and delicious. I went with the surf and turf tacos (shrimp and steak). They were really tasty -- the combination worked well, and the homemade tortillas helped tie everything together. My only minor critique is that they could have used just a touch more seasoning. I ended up adding a little salt to bring out the flavors. The one area where they could improve is the customer service. When we arrived, we were seated right away, but then we sat for about 15 minutes without anyone coming over to take our order. We actually had to get their attention, and at one point we even moved to a different table before a server finally noticed us. Once the food came out, no one really checked back on us during the meal either. The staff wasn't rude at all -- just a bit inattentive and slow on service. Overall, we'd definitely come back for the food. With a little more attention from the waitstaff, this spot could easily be a 5-star experience.

This place has no esthetic or good food. I feel like they should focus on being a coffee/juice bar. The restrooms are in a weird place and weird paint on them. I guess they wanted for them to look rustic, idk... the tables also weird placement and then they have this area where I guess you can buy groceries with an almost empty fridge like why???... the staff is really bad... they where all together hanging out by the restroom area. Again the placement of this place is almost like they had intended to make it be an upscale coffee/juice bar which it would be great if they only focus on that. But back to the staff. All the women waitresses acted as if they should be the ones cater too. The manager on the phone the whole time while being visible to the guests. I asked my waitress for a coke and water she looked at me like I had asked for something from mars. She replied a coke? I said yes please. She got me the water but not the coke. I even thought I might be wrong and they don't sale that here. I looked at the large menu of juices/smoothies and in smaller print I see Coca-Cola. A waiter asked if I was ok I guess he must of seen my look of confusion. I asked him if they sold cokes bc I had asked for it and my waitress never brought it. He said ok. The waitress brought it over. I got out to eat 3 times a week and I know I will not get the same service every where and sometimes without us knowing subconsciously our waitresses/waiter might not vibe with us and thats ok. But don't act like the guest owes you the life you want. Maybe a little self reflect will help get you get the life you want. Back to the menu. They had a menu with multiple pages but most of it was the same menu like why have a lunch and dinner menu if it's almost the same. Most of the menu are tacos. We're in Houston where there's no lack of tacos. Honestly I feel like the people that go here just go to be seen or say they went to "river oaks" which if you're from Houston you know that's not river oaks. Anyways they should stick to being a juice/coffee bar and stop selling these wack tacos because it almost makes it look like they're fake Mexican food

The parking lot was also big and we had no issues!

The decor of this place is like walking into a low rider's garage, there's bright murals all over the walls of skulls, Houston sports teams, landmarks and celebrities. It's a whole vibe walking in with the all the colors and reggaeton blasting. The restaurant was slow paced on our visit. The food took awhile to get to the table, longer than other places. Our server did inform us that everything is homemade from scratch. But it was an hour between when we ordered and our meals came out. That wouldn't have been a problem if I was halfway through my third Dirty Horchata, but it was my lunch hour and time is short. So that knocks it down a star. On to the food- Shrimp Quesadillas- good, the cheese was gooey and had a great pull. It was buttery and fried perfectly, the shrimp were crisp and well cooked. Rice- it was super! Loved it. Refried Beans- one of my coworkers didn't get her beans with the meal. So I gave her mine, since we only had an hour I had to take the beans to go. Don't ask about the guac because I gave it away! I will try Dona Leti's again. The food was very good, maybe a cook called in and it was just a bad day. All I know is the bartender better be on point when I go back.

It took about 15 minutes to get our drinks (water) and nearly 45 minutes to get our food. I had to flag the waiter down every time I needed something, and they weren't even that busy. I ordered the 3-taco entree ;two chicken fajita tacos and one steak fajita taco and I was disappointed when I realized they use dark meat chicken for their chicken fajita tacos. This was a first for me. Every Mexican restaurant I've been to has used chicken breast for chicken fajita tacos, so that's what I was expecting. Waiting 45 minutes for tacos and nachos, combined with the subpar service, really took away from the experience. The service, the food and service just didn't live up to all the hype. I definitely won't be rushing back.
