    Quaint & cozy little spot that we have passed often, and we decided to stop in today. They are open for breakfast 8-11, then lunch buffet 11-3. We tried the lunch buffet- delicious! Chicken mole, chicken fajitas, beef enchiladas, chicken enchiladas, rice & beans, ground beef tacos or tostadas, and veggies. They also offer a variety of desserts, and they make their flour tortillas! Always a plus! Service was great! And the music was not too loud- we could hear each other talk.

    Huevos a la mexicana. Homemade flour tortillas

    Husband and I had breakfast here. And OMG the food was so delicious, we're thinking of coming back soon. Hubby had the huevos rancheros, he enjoyed his meal, he ate everything on his plate. I had huevos a la mexicana. It was delicious as well, cleaned my plate completely too. Oh the tortillas are homemade. Definitely coming back soon.

    Migas with for tortilla.

    Instead of hitting corporate fast food enter this family business that offers equally low cost meals but with an ethnic twist. You still can get your standard breakfast fare of omlets and pancakes, but why not step off those well beaten roads and have a glass of horchata and breakfast on Migas (I just ordered them and they are delicious even if I didn't know what they were.). This is a must repeat experience for me and a good break from your usual fast food breakfast place.

    I really prefer small cafes and diners and this is just a Mexican cafe. Small, hole made good food. I've been here several times over the yrs and always the same, good. Today it was breakfast, migas y chorizo con frijoles. Muy buen. And most important, fresh made tortillas. Corn or flour. They have a lunch buffet that is return food as well.

    Chicken tamale, beef enchilada, beans and rice perfect
    Lee M.

    Wow... What a lunch buffet. Enchiladas, tamales, fajitas, beans and rice. Perfectly prepared, spiced well, flavorful, and hot. A perfect lunch. Clean bright dining area. Friendly helpful staff. Fast service. Awesome. Warning... Some of the buffet food is a little spicy hot. Perfect.

    Yum

    Do they every stay open later? I have always wanted to try this place but, the average healthcare person won't be able to because there hours are so limited.

    We went on a Friday for lunch and they were busy but we were seated right away. Our server was…read moresuper sweet and did a great job. I ordered the Ribeye street tacos which are ribeye tips, (I cut the onions), cilantro, queso fresco soft corn tortillas with avocado salsa and spicy red sauce. I love hot food and this sauce was hot to me. So good! It also came with black beans which had great flavor. The restaurant has a Spanish, airy feel to it. It was clean and I would go back to this location again.

It's not the best but it's reasonably priced, the margaritas are good and everybody is having a good time. This location is nothing different. We were out in the Conroe area helping my Mother in law with her lake house and stopped by for lunch. I ordered the Seafood Enchiladas, my wife had the Presidente Combination and my mother in law ordered the Cozumel Chicken Salad. The shrimp in my Seafood enchiladas were cooked well but they didn't have that snap that really good shrimp have. Also, the seafood is on top of the enchiladas, and the flavors blend in with the cheese and the sauce. The enchiladas on their own is just cheese. The charro beans didn't taste Tex Mex enough, it was all sausage and like a ranch flavor My wife had the Presidente enchiladas. I tasted them and again all the flavor comes from the sauce on top. My mother in law's Cozumel Chicken Salad looked really pretty. I didn't take a bite though because that would've been weird. I like Gringo's and would come back to this location. We had good service and the restaurant was clean and well kept. I love that they offer red and green salsa, although their chips are a little thicker than I like. Overall it's a decent meal at a reasonable price... and the margaritas are fantastic, I really thought about getting one but can't let the mother in law think I'm a drunk.

I was in the mood for a beef stuffed Chimichanga and my wife opted for the Fajita combo of beef and chicken Chulapas. My wife was really impressed with her meal. She said it was full of flavor and one of the best tasting Chulapas she has ever had. My beef Chiminchanga really hit the spot and was exactly what I was looking for. My daughter-in-law ordered the beef Tacos a la Mexicana was thrilled with how good they tated. My granddaughter wanted an Enchilada and scarfed it down so quickly, I have to believe that she really liked it. The rice and beans were also full of flavor and coupled with some premium Margaritas our dining experience was a complete success. We have returned a couple more times and again found the food to be delicious. Each and every time our service as good as the food. I highly recommend Mama Juanita's for a great Mexican meal experience as they have become our go to for great Mexican food.
