    complimentary chips and salsa
    Michael R.

    This is a hot new Mexican resturaunt on business 249 in Tomball, housed in a former Applebees. Prices are reasonable, most entrees range from 12.99 (3 enchiladas) to 15.99. Complimentary chips and salsa, we liked the verde. Spacious--you don't feel crammed together like some places--assume they re-used the prior resturaunts furniture as it is quality wood and bolted to the floor . The redecoration was cool, and made it feel even more open and inviting. Service was prompt, but everyone was clearly new and so the beer came without the requested mug, the enchiladas without the promised gravy, the tortillas took the slow bus. Specials most weekdays -- Monday through Thursday. The rice was kind if eh, so I dumped them in the beans and topped the enchiladas with salsa. Decent. I think they will be successful.

    Fajita salad with ground beef

    In the middle of an online class I tried to order food via DoorDash and it wasn't the correct time I needed it delivered and I wanted to change some of the order. I called the restaurant and they explained how to go about doing that. The woman on the line was so helpful! Even though I could not add 'special instructions' through the online order, the woman helped me (multiple times over the phone) and she verbally added those instructions to my order! Salad was fresh, as always and the instructions were followed. I am greatly appreciated for her help while I felt overwhelmed trying to order food on a short school break! Margaritas getting here helped! Thank you!

    Stumbled upon this adorable Tex-Mex restaurant in Tomball. It has only been opened a few weeks under new management. Enjoyed the Pollo con Mango. Tender chicken meat covered with a fresh pico mango and queso blanco. Loved the pickled red onion and fresh avocado. Great chips and salsas. The decor was adorable with funky lighting and memorials to famous Latin musicians, artist and leaders.

    This is the worst ghetto Mexican restaurant ever. Drinks taste dirt cheap. Might as well drink dish water. Food was thrown together with hardly any meat. I ate the corn tortillas. Left the rest of the slob on the plate as a freaking hint. I won't be paying for the drink. Save yourself go to CISCO'S SALSA COMPANY!!!!!

    So we decided to try this place out seeing all the good reviews. They really made it look different than Applebee's as that's what this place used to be. They have a lot of really cool lights hanging. Our server was great. He was informative, quick and helpful. We ordered the Plato Pancho Villa and Taquitos appetizer. The appetizer comes with eight taquitos so it's more or less a meal. The white queso was good. And the verde sauce with the chips was also one of my favorites. The Plato pancho villa came with beans. We chose the refried. These were one of my favorite refried beans. The presentation of food along with the plates they use really set the meal off. All good!!!

    New bar look!

    What a refreshing dining experience!

They also bring out tastings of their non-alcoholic Crafted Refreshers: Signature Horchata, Piña Colada, Horchata Cappuccino, and Horchata Coconut. All were light, flavorful, and delicious. Unfortunately, they were out of the mojito -- the one I was most excited to try. We shared the 3 Shrimp Ceviche and the Grilled Beet Ceviche. The shrimp ceviche was wonderful -- bright and refreshing. We added a bit more lime for extra tang, though some may prefer it less tart. One small suggestion would be to cut the pieces slightly smaller so they stay on the chips more easily. The Grilled Beet Ceviche was unexpectedly dessert-like -- sweet, refreshing, and the perfect follow-up to the shrimp. Service was top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and happy to answer questions, while keeping drinks and chips refilled promptly. For a new restaurant, this place truly impressed. My only suggestions would be to provide a bit more chips with the salsa and to cut the ceviche pieces slightly smaller for easier eating. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely worth a visit.

I re-asked several different ways and finally got what I was looking for! We waited about 5 minutes. We ordered a drink at the bar and then got sat. Once sat, our waitress acknowledged us about 3-5 minutes later. We ordered 2 waters, a coke and cheese sticks. The coke came first. The cheese sticks about 5 minutes later, then the water about 10 minutes later. Our waitress stopped by before the water got there to see if we were ready to order. We didn't even have water yet! The place was pretty busy. Our waitress just struggled to keep up with her tables. There was another waitress who was more experienced that jumped in and helped us. We finally were able to order our dinner. The cook, or someone, came out to tell us they were out of the cut of meat we ordered. This was a disappointment because we were here to celebrate my other half's birthday. So it wasn't off to a great start. We picked something else and by the time we got our food, it was cold. (Can you hear the heavy sigh?) The manager offered to take care of my meal, but I'm not about getting a free meal. I ended up letting him give us a discount. He was very nice and really tried to make things right. So, with all the things that went wrong, I am willing to give this place a try again.

Things may have changed since some of these diners reviewed but our whole party had great things to say. We all agreed we would go again at another time. We were lucky enough to get Megan as our server and she was phenomenal. Great asset to this business. She took the time to go over and give recommendations. It was our first time there. Very family friendly and the decor was well done. They offer a small bar in the front as you enter the restaurant for those who might want appetizers and watch a game and hangout. They appear to have a private room off to the side that holds about 50 people that they offer with a guarantee that you will spend a certain amount of money. We would def try again when we are in the area. Nice job Pecos Grilling Co. Wish you lots of success and lots more visitors to come your way. You are doing things right.

That's like getting your hand caught in a clamp...strapped inside a vice...dudes got a grip!!! The bugs themselves are always perfect. Just the right level of spice, cooked to perfection, and always with corn and a tater. Definitely recommend the peel & eat skrimps, the sausage, and my favorite. MUSHROOMS!!! They soak up ALL the juice like the little sponges they are. Gotta go with the Coon-Ass sauce always. Love the Frio location and some days if you stay late enough and Hans is sold out, just hang out, drink beer, listen to some live music. So. TL;DR time. Han himself is awesome (Love the hat!!! Thank you sir). The girls are lovely. Staff is always smiling. The food is a solid 10/5. I would take into question your sanity to not visit. Rock sold 5 Stars. See you soon.
