    Birthday celebration
    Charisse T.

    Mother's Day dinner with the family. We got right in no wait at all, but the area we were sitting in had so many flies we finally bagged up our food and left. It was overwhelming for the kids and we left early and some food on the table because the flies were landing on it. This was my first bad experience with this restaurant, we did complain to staff but they didn't seem bothered no other tables were fighting like that. Might choose inside next time if we chose to return. We did ask for the table fans but that didn't help the situation. Also parking is always horrible they have security but they only sit there on the phones. The lot is already small and you allowed them to take over 2 spots there is a sports car in there all the time we have gone that takes over 2 spots

    Cheese enchiladas
    Sonia S.

    I had an amazing experience at Candente! The patio seating, service, and food were all amazing: I ordered the cheese enchiladas and topped with queso and I ate the entire plate. My margarita was deliciously made. The patio is nice and spread out as well as tucked away from the road noise. Overall, a wonderful experience !,

    I really enjoyed my experience here on Cinco de Mayo this year. It also was kind of surprising how well things worked out because I'm definitely used to Cinco de Mayo being a crazy day to try to go to a Mexican restaurant especially since they do not take reservations. I originally planned to just go there for drinks and go somewhere else to actually eat because they were doing tequila tastings. However while we were there, we were seeing the food that was coming out and smelling the aroma of the food they were serving and all three of us decided we were willing to wait and stay. So this was specifically for Cinco de Mayo, but they had as I said tequila tastings so they had different tables where they were giving out tequila. I thought it was very generous and a nice touch on Cinco De Mayo and the fact that it was free was great. So I decided to put us on the waitlist and they told us it would be about an hour or so, which would not have been ideal at all, but thankfully they were able to seat us very quickly compared to what they told us, which was amazing. The service was really good and I felt like our waitress was really friendly and attentive. Even in the midst of the craziness, she was still very available for us. The food was really good and I enjoyed the queso. My only complaint was that the queso was kind of cold. I probably should've asked for them to heat it up but it still tasted good. I got my entrée after and the portion was HUGE so I definitely had a lot of food to take home and I also really enjoyed it. One of the items on the entrée was a steak taco and the steak was so good. I feel like it was seasoned to perfection and I absolutely loved it. I also enjoyed the enchiladas as well. I got a kiwi margarita and it was really good too. I would say this is the second best Mexican food that I've had in Houston and I've been to several Mexican restaurants for tacos Tuesday. I would for sure recommend this place and I would definitely come back especially on a day that's not as crazy as Cinco De Mayo because I'm sure everything will be even faster and smoother but again I'm impressed at how well everything went considering it was Cinco De Mayo and we didn't even have a reservation.

    This is still one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Houston! It's always super busy, but usually they're able to seat you right away. This past visit I tried the birria tacos for the first time and now I have a new favorite. We also tried the brisket nachos. It could have used a little bit more cheese which we did ask our waiter for, but he never bought it out but I would stick to my usual queso with added ground beef. If you haven't tried Candente, I definitely recommend it you won't be disappointed.

    Taco and beans
    Sonia G.

    Excellent service and atmosphere. The servers were very attentive and bussers did not waste time in cleaning the area and providing straws and napkins. The complimentary chips and salsa were almost good and plentiful enough for a meal in and of themselves. Good for individuals, groups, and families. Three of us had lunch here, and the prices were very reasonable. The lunch menu featured a lot of standard favorites--enchiladas, tacos, fajitas. I had a combination platter of a taco, enchilada and burrito with rice and charro beans. Another companion had burria tacos. Spice level was good as well. Very attentive staff and they seem to understand customer's needs before they ask. Will return for Happy Hour.

    Ceviche Trio- Phenomenally Fresh and delicious
    Janai F.

    Canedente is not just a Michelin star since 2024 but is serves daily deliciousness. The restaurant is so beautiful with a massive outdoor sitting area that is heated, has fans for cooling and a beautiful water feature. The service was wonderful the young man gave his favorite items yet we picked the Shrimp Chevice Trio and the #1 grill. Our total bill was about $100.00 and the amount of food was literally enough for 4 people. The server knew we were sharing and had the rice/beans and fajita fixings all in dishes for us both, such a great touch! The food was amazing and so well seasoned that we barely had to add hot sauce. We of course had left overs, as we were packing it all up and wanted to take our chips and salsa that is phenomenal when the waiter offered us a bag of chips and fresh Salsa another great touch.

    Another year, another review of Candente! Candente is one of my top spots to bring friends or family who are visiting Houston since it's a local business with some Texas flare. Their barbecue inspired Tex-Mex is top notch. The meats are juicy & so flavorful! The service is exceptional (they keep that ranch dip, salsa, and chip basket flowing). There's plenty of seating available indoors and outdoors, with an open air patio and string lights that set a nice ambience in the evening. If you're debating on giving Candente a try, do it!

    Candente is a Tex Mex restaurant located in the Montrose area of Houston. Candente is known for their margaritas, brisket queso and their fajitas. We visited Candente for dinner after happy hour ended on a Wednesday. Just an FYI that happy hour is Monday-Friday from 3-6 PM. Parking: there is a parking garage attached to Candente that has designated parking spots for diners. This parking is limited and there are signs that designate which spots are for Candente. There is also limited street parking around the restaurant. Ambiance: Candente has a bar, inside seating and an huge outdoor patio. We sat on the outdoor patio because there was a wait for an inside table. They were playing the Astros game at the bar TVs and they had a fun Loteria game going in the patio. This was a special event for that night. It was hot on the patio but that was just the natural Texas heat. The music inside was pretty loud when I went to use the restroom and I've seen that been a complaint from some diners on Yelp. Service: the service was fine. Being on the patio is tough because severs have a long way to travel to take care of the patio tables and inside tables. We had to ask for water refills a couple of times. The food came out in a timely matter so that was nice as we ordered appetizers and main entrees. Drinks: my brother got a mojito de coco which had rum, coconut, and lime. He enjoyed this mojito a lot and said it was refreshing in the heat. Food: the complementary chips and red and green salas were very good! We ate two baskets of these chips and asked for more salsa as well. We ordered two appetizers and three mains. Beef fajita quesadilla: the quesadilla was an appetizer for us and man this was good. The tortilla was crisped perfectly and the fajita beef was very tender. It came with a side of pico, sour cream and guacamole. It was $19 for 4 triangle pieces so a little pricey for a quesadilla. Smoked chicken flautas: this flauta appetizer came with 4 chicken flautas covered in avocado salsa, cream and queso fresco. The chicken in these flautas had great flavor! The chicken was moist and the shell on the flauta was thin and crispy. This was my favorite dish of the night! Carne Guisada: I ordered the carne guisada and it was delicious. It was stewed Mexican beef served with rice and beans and a side of three flour tortillas. The meat was tender and in a nice gravy sauce. It came with a side of cilantro, onions and tomatoes. The portion size was little lacking but it made up in flavor. Tacos birria de res: the birria tacos came with three tacos in one order. It came with a side of beef consume and rice and beans. The beef in the birria tacos was very tender and the consume had rich flavor. It was also a little pricey at $28 for the three tacos with rice and beans. Plato Epico: this combo plate came with a chicken taco, cheese enchilada, cheese chili relleno, and a crispy beef taco. This plate was your standard mixed Tex mex plate. It had all the staples on one plate. It also was only $25 so it was good value! Nothing stood out on this plate but it was an all around good Tex Mex plate. Overall, I'd say Candente brings the flavor on most of their food but at the price point of some items on their menu, it feels like I should have been more full. I subsidized the portions with their chips which is never an issue at Tex mex places. All of their beef dishes were good and their chicken flautas were the best dish of the night. The restaurant provided plenty of seating and the patio is a nice change of pace from an AC filled room. Come here for the food but don't expect it to be cheap!

    Mangonada
    Kim N.

    We dropped in for lunch on Sunday, party of four. Love that they have an attached garage for parking, kept the car cool even though it was in the 90's outside. The restaurant was still packed at 2:30 PM. We were seated in the last booth towards the back of the restaurant. Next time, I would opt out of sitting there as it's next to the kitchen and it's really loud with dishes and glasses banging around. It didn't help that our server forgot to put in our appetizer order. We waited to order the entree to give a little time for the brisket queso to arrive but it never showed up. We reminded the server that we never received it after the fajitas arrived, so that we would not get charged for it. We ordered the ceviche trio and a large prime Niman ranch skirt steak fajita for shared entrees. The ceviche was OK, the green one was a little bland. The fajita was the star of our lunch, cooked perfect to medium, very tender for skirt steak. We ordered extra flour tortillas and this took 15 mins to arrive. The mangonada was good. The cantaloupe and hibiscus Agua Frescas were good as well. I would come back again for the food, would love to try other things on the menu.

    Chicken tostada, taquitos, and enchilada combo
    Courtney W.

    Staple Tex mex place in Montrose. On a weekday they get busy around 6:30 but it's nice that there's a garage (narrow spots!!!) plus street parking. House Margarita is a nice size and very tasty. Queso is a must! Decent size for sharing too. Tacos Al carbon was tasty, I got the combo so one chicken one steak, and both were great. The tortilla was fresh and I loved the toppings it came with. Savory, filling, and comforting. Excellent service!

    Skirt steak fajitas, rice and refried beans
    Adam B.

    It's difficult to say anything that hasn't already been said about this outstanding restaurant! The skirt steak fajitas were succulent, tender, and very flavorful. The (melted chili-lime butter?) served alongside it was a show-stopper! My son had the brisket enchiladas, which were also delicious. Our dinner at Candente was made perfect with attentive and friendly service. A wonderful meal!

    Tres leches (good, but we've had better)

    I've been wanting to try this place for years & finally had the opportunity to take a friend out for her birthday on Saturday night and we decided on Candente, a Michelin star restaurant. The chicken combo dish and premium margarita were excellent. Our server was also outstanding. The chips and salsa were okay but would like to return and try again. The chips and creamy salsa were both a little too salty. The parking was a bit of a challenge but we found parking in garage from entrance on other side of the block & walked to ground from second level. No reservations were accepted, but upon entering they took my name and phone number & said they would call first then text when table was ready. They texted several times first and I didn't see it because I was waiting on a call as stated- since I was only a few feet away on outside patio, I walked in after just having missed a call and we got seated. Later I saw a text saying our table had been given up. What? I guess since I didn't see the text, almost or did lose an original table? How simple it would have been just to call out my name once or twice where guests were clearly waiting? Seemed a bit ridiculous and impersonal if you ask me. The atmosphere was a bit noisy and overstimulating since we were seated near kitchen in back, but we were able to hold a conversation with no issues. Will return at a less busy time as Saturday night seemed a little chaotic.

    Complimentary nachos. Love the green sauce! Yum!

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.

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.

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. I am including a photo of the overcooked beef fajita. A senior citizen can get the all beef lunch fajita special for virtually the same price as the fajita combo here ALL DAY at Pappasitos. 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?
