Stopped to grab some Lunch with a coworker before heading back to the office from a work errand... Was shocked at the friendliness of the place. We were greeted and introduced to the owner who offered to help with food suggestions as it was out first time there. We asked about good seafood items on the menu. We tried the special, not on the menu, fried avocado stuffed with shrimp and crawfish. It was good; filling was delicious. After that we ordered some typical tacos: carnitas and fajita. Well to our surprise the owner sent us two complimentary seafood enchiladas. The enchilada was certainly delicious. So simple. It was smothered in a sort of creole gravy. Like I said, it was delicious. And probably not something I would have considered ordering on my own either. Overall, amazing dining experience. I'll definitely go back if I end up in the area. read more

Avacado check. Shrimp check. Cheese check. Put them all together and you have one of the best food inventions i've seen. Deep fried avacado filled with junk is simply amazing. Its not limited to shrimp though. Whatever your heart desires (well maybe im exaggerating but you get the picture), put it in a ball of avacado goodness, deep fry and enjoy. Ps this is a hidden menu item. After my dish came out a lady sitting at another table asked what it was and then immediately ran back to the kitchen to change her order. I enjoyed every bite of this deliciously msde concoction. Everybody in the restaurant was talking about how much they love this place and I can see why. I just wish it was in utah so I could try more things on the menu. Thanks so much for a great experiance read more

Casarez - Cancun chicken comes with crawfish and shrimp. This was delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Their Fajita Tortas are the best I've had in a while. After the recession everyone cut back on what they put in a torta, so it was a pleasant surprise to see that Casarez stuffs their tortas with pure goodness. Shrimp and Crawfish Enchiladas are terrific! Fajita Gordita is great too. Menudo is the best in the area hands down. Stuffed avocado is decent. Seafood Gumbo is delicious. (Fish,Shrimp and Crawfish Tails) Barbacoa is sold by the lb. It is also very very good. Tip: Barbacoa, is a great breakfast meal for when you have visitors and you don't know what to feed them. 1lb. for every 4ppl. read more

Thank you, Yelp, for helping us find this place while on vacation in Houston! It was delicious! I had the combo (steak and chicken) fajitas and hubby had the chimichanga. Everything was good. The salsa is orange - first time I've had orange salsa, and it was yummy! If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely be back! read more

5 stars for delicious food and amazing service. We came for breakfast but was pleasantly surprised that their lunch and dinner menus were available. Fajitas for 1 could easily be shared between 2 people. The fried avocado that everyone on Yelp is raving about is off menu but likely available if you ask. This is another gem in the middle of Pasadena that people should definitely check for authentic cheap Mexican food! read more

I'm not sure how this spot has 4.5 stars, but someone lied, or maybe they just have different tastebuds. ‍ The two stars are derived from the customer service and the prompt service. There were a couple of dine-in customers and social distancing was enforced. I ordered to go. The order consisted of the nacho superiores and the fried stuffed avocado with shrimp and crawfish. I was excited about my avocado, but it greatly disappointed. It had absolutely no flavor. I do not like a lot of salt, but I do like flavor...none! If I had eaten the styrofoam container it came in I would not have known the difference. I tried the nachos and immediately noticed the chips were stale. Thick greasy cheese...the ground meat was flavorful, but underdone in areas, which results when it is not browned thoroughly. The best part of this experience was the charro beans. They were perfectly seasoned. Maybe they should use some of that charro juice in their avocado ‍. I did not even care for the SALSAS...it's SALSA...I LOVE salsa...not this time. I'm sad because I really wanted to call this spot my new go to for Mexican, but I will not be back. $25 meal...Bought lesson! read more

If you don't pay these folks a visit...you need your head checked. We live on the Mexican border. I'm a coonass. I've never had better food in my life. (Do not tell my momma.) The fried avocado stuffed with crawfish is simply outstanding. I took a bite or four of my husband's crawfish and shrimp enchiladas and all but cried. The owner is out visiting with guests and is as nice and as personable as can be. There is no reason for anyone to pass this place up. If you do? Get your head checked. read more

I absolutely loved this place. The owner, Bobby has to be one of the friendliest people I have met before. Very warm and hospitable. The food was great. Since creole food has Spanish influence anyway, why not combine them. Definitely a good blend and they were well made. Everything was fresh and the seafood tasted lovely. I'm always skeptical about trying seafood so far inland. Normally it has a horrible aftertaste. The seafood enchilada is a must. You can have ranchero style or étouffée. I prefer the étouffée but both are lovely. The only reason I know that is because Bobby was kind enough to let me sample both. I would definitely recommend this place. Great food, great service, and great people. read more

Thank you YELP, but friend at home and away! Found this place when staying overnight near the airport. I felt liked I walked into the equivalent of a local Texan irish pub. We had the Chicken creole and beef enchiladas. We also had a classic frozen margarita and lemonata. Yummy! I would go back for just the food! BUT the service has my heart. By the end of the meal, I forgot who took our order because EVERYone seemed invested in assuring that we were well taken care of. At one point two other large parties walked in - they NEVER forgot about us. Wonderful, done to earth, gem. Definitely made this Californian's trip especial! read more

The food here is freaking amazing. Anyone who tries this wonderful restaurant will easily become a regular. I had the crawfish enchiladas. YUMMY ! Oh and the margaritas... speechless. The food is so good you'll waddle out rubbing yer full belly with a smile on yer face. Thank you for your amazing service. read more

Delicious. Both salsa were very good too. Had the fajita enchiladas but next time trying the fried avacado with shrimp. Will definitely be back more often read more

Not much to say. I nibbled on everything and didn't finish any of it. It doesn't look appealing from the outside or the inside. Most importantly the food was bland. My professional opinion: thumbs down. Rice and beans are the easiest things to make yall. Poor mans food and we have all been poor. read more

yes, the food was very fresh and good and we really liked that they had put on the front of their menu to remember to pray before you eat! we had just left church and that was very nice. I have told several of our church friends about this place and they will also frequent it. read more

Such a good place to eat and the waiters are very kind. My family and I come here for breakfast probably 2-3 times a week. We've been coming here for years and the food gets better and better. The staff is amazing and so friendly. The owner always makes sure to walk around and introduce himself. He makes you feel like family when you are in his establishment. My mother had the Migas, stepdad has Huevos Ranchero, and my grandma and I had menudo. My mom and I decided a mimosa was the best way to go out with a BANG one A.M. best mimosa in town!!!. I could of had three more. My grandma and I enjoy coming here for breakfast. I will not lie when I say they have the best breakfast tacos. You can catch me ordering Barbacoa and bacon and eggs tacos with avocado slices. It's my favorite. In another review, I stated there are only two best Mexican restaurants in southeast... well this is one of them. read more

Ate here last year on a trip to Houston for Texas HoeDown, back again and it did not disappoint. Food was delicious, drinks were big and never empty, service staff was beyond nice and never stood still! Eat here. read more

I gave this restaurant 4 stars mostly because of the off-menu dish, a fried avocado. It comes as an appetizer or as a meal with rice and beans. I agree others about the watery margarita. If you squeeze the lime slice into it, it's better. The salsa served with the tortilla chips is very good, spicy without burning your palate. The owner was very friendly, explaining how he prepares the fried avocado. The Fajita salad was okay. The chicken is well seasoned and the delight. It's served on some shredded lettuce with some spinach leaves tossed in. Diced tomatoes and a shredded white cheese are also components. It comes with queso as a 'dressing'. I didn't bother since I didn't want queso on a salad. I opted for some of the salsa served with the chips. That helped to meld all the ingredients, for me. All said, I will return. read more

Superb superb food. Great value...great tastes...hearty portions. We shared the chicken tortilla soup, a Jewish grandma would be jealous! Son had shrimp rancheros, cleaned the plate! Daughter had chicken street tacos, she says flavorful! I had lunch special 16 with chicken enchilada, beef taco, beef tamale. So so good! It's not a chain, and it's not fancy, and it's a bit in the hood, but you're foolish to not dine and enjoy the polite service here! Highly recommend! read more

This has been my spot since they opened Bobby and his crew never disappoint great food and service

Don't let the looks of the restaurant define how delicious the food is. I came here and saw the yelp reviews that said that deep fried avocado was really good so I decided to try it and man it was delicious I was a bit skeptical about it because a while back I had tried fried avocado from a different Texmex restaurant and it was horrible but this one was nothing like my past experience,it was really creamy and crunchy from the outside and cheesy in the inside with two of my favorite meats shrimp and fajitas.They give you an option of rice and beans or pasta and veggies.Usually in a Mexican restaurant u get rice and beans but decided to get pasta and veggies ,the pasta was very delicious as well as the veggies nice and fresh.Overall I'm very happy I came across this restaurant.Muy bueno read more

This place is AWESOME! My family and I enjoy this place. The staff and OWNER are always so welcoming and make sure you are taken care of. The owner walks around and check on tables to make sure they're doing ok. I wanted something that wasn't on the menu the owner didn't hesitate to whip up the plate for me. What I also like about this place is that even though you have one waiter taking care of your table other waiters also come and check on you and making sure if you need something. Always meets our expectations. Keep up the awesome job! read more

Delicious! I found them on yelp! Best decision ever! This place is the closest thing to Mexico we've found! Will eat here again!

Bobby's place is absolutely amazing! Great food, great people, great environment. Weekly spot, I crave it when I'm out of state!

The service was very quick and the food had good flavor. The restaurant was clean. What kept me from giving the five stars was the salsa. Nothing spicy. The salsa I was served didn't taste spicy to me at all. read more

Casarez - Shrimp rancheros - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

When I was visiting Houston decided to try this place out, I'm very glad that I did. The service was outstanding! They give you chips and salsa and it's sooo good. The first time I ordered I believe was the seafood enchiladas you can literally taste the deliciousness, they give you a really big portion as well! My husband ordered the gumbo and that was outstanding. The next day I wanted more of this place so we went again, we got a new server and she did great loved her attentiveness towards us. This time I got the shrimp/crawfish etoufee, at this moment I knew I have fallen in love with this place haha they seriously do give you a great portion of food! My husband did get the shrimp/fajitas it was decent I felt like the fajitas needed more flavor even then they give you a lot of it. When I come back in Houston I will definitely come back here again read more

The service was great and the chilaquiles are really good definitely going to go back

We moved from Houston 9 years ago and we come here every time we are in town. Great service, great food. Reasonable prices. A rare gem!

We've been here several times, one in particular was when my son was visiting from 29 Palms. He was dressed in his USMC brown/blues and the host accommodated our large and boisterous family with several tables lined up to fit us all. I am not sure what the previous review had to do with "supporting veterans", but our host went out of his way to thank my son for his service. :) The food is amazing and i LOVE their drink menu. We had a wonderful family gathering and look forward to returning again. The people here are wonderful and the owner has come out to greet us and ask us how we like the place each time we come. Very personable service is a plus. read more

For visitors to Houston landing in Hobby Airport, I'm afraid that the drive down Edgebrook is not the first impression of this fine city I'd have chosen for you. However, the food at Casarez is the taste of Tex-Mex we're proud of. If you're eating here around lunch time (as I was) $10 is more than enough to stuff your face so full you won't need dinner. The lunch specials are a great value, and include things like a Footlong Burrito (get out your ruler kids, this isn't a 10in subway "footlong" either) with rice and beans, the "Casarez Special" which includes one of almost everything on the menu, enchilada platters, or a 3 taco plate. They even had vegetarian options, which is hard to find at Mexican chain restaurants. The decor is spot-on too with day-glo paint colors, and oil paintings of cowboys and cacti. Topping it off are mis-matched plastic seats and a radio blaring latino hits. When it's time to pay, you get up, and go to the register. read more

Many thanks to the Yelpers who tipped us off about this local find. We were staying in a hotel near Hobby Airport and wanted to get some good, authentic Tex-Mex during a very short trip to Houston. This place surpassed our expectations. Not only was the food delicious and cheap, the staff were tremendously kind and friendly. One of our party of four was a vegetarian, and they double-checked with the kitchen to make sure the beans were veg-friendly (they were) and then made sure that the people ordering the grill platter understood that it contained meat. One of the co-owners stopped by the table to chat. They were all lovely people. The grill platter for two had a LOT of meat: shrimp, chicken, pork chop, and some other stuff I'm not remembering at the moment. Thumbs up generally (although my mom didn't care for the beef that was included on the platter, there was so much food that she had more than enough to contend with without it). I had a very tasty dish, "Pork Tampico," which was deep-fried chunks of pork tenderloin in a spicy tomato sauce. The frying and the saucing were done with a light hand, and the dish was served with very good fresh guacamole, beans and rice. My sister enjoyed her veggie enchiladas. Casarez is terrific. If only it were in Boston! read more
