Need more of this sauce
Vik P.

Our coworker from Jalisco, Mexico has been saying that he couldn't find Ahogadas here in Houston. I was like that is impossible, its got to be somewhere. So the journey actually took us many years to find it here at Dichos. Thanks to Chris Shepherd's Eat like a Local show able to find the dish. Ahogada is basically a wet torta, I know it doesn't sound the greatest of a soggy sandwich, but let me tell you it works here. Now for my fellow coworker who descends from Jalisco, he gave it a 6/10, which for us just trying it for the first time it was more like an 8/10. I even had one coworker who never really eats out said next time we go we need to take him after we let him have a sample. Fideo con Pollo - does not skimp on the chicken Tacos - can't remember which all I got, but seemed a bit too greasy/oily for me. Decent flavor though. Parking - Plenty

Tomatillo chicken chilaquiles over medium egg
Scott R.

first time eating here and it didn't not disappoint. We had the chilaquiles one with chicken with tomatillo sauce and the other other beef with Guajillo sauce. both were delicious and service was fast and friendly. Don't let the location fool you once you enter you feel like you're in a mexican cafe and the ambiance is nice.

Nachos OMG!

The food and the green sauce is always great. We had a chance to sit down. Love the variety of music. The ladies are always nice and service is really well good.

Why no? Let's eat
AnaLilia G.

Great place! Great food!!! They give you chips and salsa and that's a plus. The service is great, they are very friendly!! Ambiance is very chill, and relaxing! Everytime we come to the thrift store close by, we stop here and there's no regrets! The food is the closest to authentic Mexican food, they have so much to choose.

Deluxe platto

Dichos is amazing. I've been coming here for nearly two years now and it's a solid hitter. From food quality, to portions and service, you can't go wrong. I love that there are two different salsas for the chips and enjoy the mole, menudo and breakfast items. Support local!

Chips and Salsa and Horchata
Kathy V.

This place is closer to a 4.5 stars for me. The food was delicious minus the corn, but don't let that stop you from trying this place. The Horchata was refreshing, but slightly sweeter than I expected it to be. The service was ok for me. I felt like there was a slight language barrier, so service felt a little slow for me. The restaurant was not too loud and great for friends and families to join for a fair price meal.

Huevos
Clara K.

Our friend took us to this authentic spot for a true Tex mex breakfast, and it hit the spot. My huevos scramble with tortillas on the side was perfect to make my own breakfast tacos. The tortillas were warm and delicious. The mega breakfast taco was also probably a favorite dish at the table. The chips and salsas were so tasty and flavorful too! We had to get dessert - the churros were so soft and filled with delicious cream. Great no frills, cheap but quality Tex mex!

Agua de Melón
Monica C.

Their aguas frescas are so good! Like that you can pick other sides besides rice & beans. Their corn tortillas are so good! Good service, everyone is nice.

Breakfast tacos
Alice L.

I love dichos! They have such great portions and their breakfast tacos are amazing. They have healthy options too if that's what you're looking for. I've ordered grilled chicken with sides and you can choose plain corn on the cob, steamed veggies, potatoes, rice etc. My favorite thing to order is the breakfast tacos. I've never had such delicious homemade flour tortillas. They're so soft and smell heavenly. You can choose to have refried beans in your tacos and I would highly suggest trying them. They stuff their tacos pretty full and it's such good value.

Fish tacos, nopales, veggies, and guacamole
Shelby L.

I've been to Dicho's twice now and the second time has me sold. The soup I ordered the first time was just okay and was way smaller than they said it would be on the phone so it was a bit overpriced imo. There was also too much dry shredded white chicken in it, it just wasn't great. What convinced me to go back is the tiny side of red salsa they gave me - SO GOOD. I'm really interested in going back and eating in person so I can practically drink the stuff. The second time I ordered the fish tacos plate and I love that not only does it come with 3 sides but they have a wide range of options. I'm really happy I went back because those are some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. The downsides are that guy at the front who takes to go orders has an apathetic and unfriendly attitude both on the phone and in person during both visits. It's hard to convey in a succinct review, but it's really off-putting. And they're really stingy on the to-go salsa and charge for to-go chips, which is weird because it's served unlimited on the tables. It's also weird that they have store bought and homemade tortillas and they charge for them (but I admit, they're phenomenal). The unfriendly attitude and nickel & diming is really the reason I knock off a star but I will definitely be back.

Menudo .

Our server was super friendly and kept things moving. Free chips and salsa to start. The chips came out warm and crunchy, with a red and a green salsa. Easy way to kick off the meal. I got the enchiladas suizas. Packed with chicken and cheese, and the salsa verde on top gave it a nice bit of tang that kept it from feeling heavy. Solid Tex-Mex. Didn't disappoint.

As there is not a location near me any longer, we traveled to the original location. It was bustling with an attentive waitstaff and lots of people watching. Complementary valet (of course we tip) is a great benefit as parking is slim. Our waitress was Kady. She's been there for 50 years! Talk about an original. She was attentive to our needs but all business. We started with guacamole and queso. Guac was a huge portion with all the add ins. Queso was delish and served with fried flour tortillas (my fav). The gratis green dip, red sauce, and thick, crisp chips were on par. The fajitas. Just so so. Honestly, it reminded me of Taco Cabana. Very disappointing. Very little flavor and tough. The rice was yucky, the refried beans were the worst! Reminded us of the frito lay bean dip in a can. Even the Borracho beans were bad. HEB's in the can are far better. We received 2 corn and 2 flour tortillas. Fajitas served with pico, guac, sour-sour cream (I didn't even like that). Iced tea was fair. All in all, Fajitas very disappointing. If we had not been on the best fajita quest, I most likely would have ordered the chicken caldo soup. That never disappoints.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

The world is full of Mexican restaurants…read more Most are some version of Tex-Mex in a family-friendly, relatively similar environment. Nothing wrong with that. Mexican Sugar breaks that mold completely. This is the most legit, wonderful, bougie, over-the-top Mexican restaurant I have ever been to, and I mean that as the highest compliment possible. This was my second trip to Mexican Sugar. The first was in Grapevine. After this visit to the Montrose location, I have officially decided that when I am in Texas, I will seek these places out. They are that good. First, dress up. I doubt there is an actual dress code, but this is not the place where I am showing up looking like I just finished mowing the yard. Come here to be seen. Come here to show out a little. The place is beautiful and has that kind of vibe. Second, the drinks. Hell yes. Fancy, creative, excellent, and impressive enough for even the person who has seen every ridiculous cocktail presentation imaginable. And then there is the food. My God, the food. The salsa and queso are legit AF. The street corn is heaven in a bowl. Get several orders. I am serious. One is not enough. The carne asada was amazing. Honestly, I could keep going, but at some point this review is just going to become me yelling about how much I love Mexican Sugar. I LOVE MEXICAN SUGAR. OK, YOU GET THE IDEA. WHY AM I YELLING? BACK TO THE REVIEW.... Service was excellent too. The place is huge and was absolutely packed, but our server stayed attentive and the food came out surprisingly quickly. Make a reservation. Park in the nearby garage. Dress nice. Order the drinks. Get the street corn. Then get more street corn. Who is ready for another trip to Houston? I'll book the reservation at Mexican Sugar.

Maximo looks like someone invited the desert inside and poured it a drink. The room is colorful,…read morewarm, and genuinely inviting--pots of cactus, cowboy paintings, and Mexican art. At brunch, the papas bravas come as small cubes of fried potato with an airy crunch that gives way to a soft, pillowy center - the kind of deeply satisfying bite that makes conversation briefly irrelevant. Crisp prosciutto adds salt, aioli brings richness, and smoky chile sauce keeps it lively. They're served with cactus-handled toothpicks, which are almost offensively adorable. The chilaquiles divorciados are another hit. The chips are dressed with salsa rather than drowned beneath it, so each one arrives ready for the perfect bite. It's a small distinction, but an important one. Then there are the enfrijoladas: rolled quesadillas in fluffy tortillas, covered in creamy black bean sauce and plated with more care than bean and cheese might seem to warrant. The dish is fundamentally simple, but that's the point. Soft tortilla, savory beans, melted cheese, bright salsa. Familiar ingredients transformed into something deeply comforting--the culinary equivalent of curling up beneath a warm blanket on a cold morning, even if Houston rarely provides one. Dinner shifts into another gear. The crudos are sensational, especially the tuna tiradito - a rolling wave of flavor and texture. The tacos are excellent across the board, but the crispy maitake mushrooms are unmatched. The short ribs arrive juicy and tender on a mole negro that doesn't sit politely in the background. It lands dark, complex, and full of flavor. And then there's the masa cornbread, a masterpiece of unapologetic indulgence. Humble cornbread meets savory-sweet mole, smoky, earthy butter, and caviar. It sounds like too much. It isn't. Every element earns its place. The cocktails deserve their own warning. They're the kind that convince you to keep ordering the same drink all night. By the end, you may have forgotten what was in it. What you'll remember is that it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you needed. Maximo makes ambitious food feel generous rather than fussy. Come hungry.

Honestly I am fairly disappointed in this place as I had been anticipating it for the longest time…read more I was able to snag reservations about 1 month in advance for a Saturday dinner. The restaurant is located in a quiet area in West University with a good amount of street parking. The restaurant itself is decorated with a lot of character and personality and they have seating inside and outside on their covered patio. Don't get me wrong, the service here is amazing. The servers are very attentive, and I appreciate the chefs coming out to explain their dish. However, the dishes themselves were basic and lacked specialty. My boyfriend and I got the Chef's Tasting Menu. I got the drink pairing. As a Chef's tasting menu, I would expect the restaurants' most precious meals. The short rib was dry and the rest of the other dishes were unmemorable. The only dish that truly caught my eye was their Tres Leches, but this was given on the house as it was our anniversary. The drink pairing I got was well worth and all of the drinks were flavorful and paired well. Overall, I'd hope that their chef's tasting menu would improve as they rotate their dishes. I would try to come back to give it another chance.
