    I visited here after hearing they are supposed to be pretty good. I sat in the bar area since I…read morewas dining alone. This is an older building, but I'm not sure how long they have been here. In summary, I was not really impressed with my meal, but this is a super casual place and the prices are right. I started off with their house small frozen margarita. If you just need a basic one, this will do. It's nothing fancy. For comparison, their fresh margaritas start at $12 currently. Their salsa is served at room temp and you receive both a green and a red one. The red one was my fav. It was also the spicier of the two. I ordered their beef fajitas for one which is only $20. Let's see how it compared to my favorite in town which is much more expensive. Beef fajitas- these are your basic beef fajitas with store-bought tortillas. The sizzling skillet comes with 2 types of grilled onions, tomato, and grilled bell pepper slices. The beef is tender, I'll give them that, but the quality is low. You receive a lot of Pico de Gallo, not much guacamole, and an avg amount of rice and beans. The grilled onions were not grilled very long at all. I noticed a couple of the slices of beef were not cut against the grain, so they were a bit more chewy. Overall, service was average. They never asked me if I wanted a 2nd margarita until after I sat around for 10 mins and then even asked for the check. By then, its way too late to ask a customer if they want a 2nd drink, I guess that's how low key they are. At the end of the meal my glass of water was nearly empty too, but no server was to be found at the bar. In fact, they didn't really even man the bar most of the time with the 4 customers sitting there, including me.

    Great chips & salsa, both served warm, CHECK Great portions…read more CHECK REALLY great service. CHECK Good prices. CHECK BOMB charros. CHECK Clean festive restaurant.

Ordered friend shrimp and oysters with grits and fried okra. Loved the grits and fried okra but the fried shrimp seemed like it was frozen as the crust fell off when I picked it up. It was tasty and I ate it so it was Goode! Also, ordered an iced tea that was fresh and clean tasting so their equipment is well maintained. You can tell if any restaurants do not clean their dispensers as the tea tastes bitter or is milky looking. Why do I know this? You ask? Because my Dad was a coffee/tea delivery man and when I was a child he use to take me on Saturdays to run his route. We visited several Luby's Cafeteria's where he made sure the dispensers were clean and that they were making the tea properly. He showed me how he used the brushes to clean the tubes, dispenser handle and used special cleaning material on the inside. It makes a difference if your tea dispenser is clean... have I convinced you yet? Wow that was a rant! The bottom line is they have great iced tea!

This restaurant is always full close to any meal time in Houston or near The Woodlands in Shenandoah- Come early if you want to miss lines!! Not only are the fajitas a standout- both beef and chicken, but the gigantic handcrafted tortillas are amazing!! We love them. Do not miss the appetizer gratis spicy charro beans and the red warm salsa to treat your tastebuds while crunching on non greasy low sodium delicious chips- or put those appetizer charro spicy beans on your chips!! Yes. You will thank us for telling you about these memorable treats! You will be back, because there is plenty of seating- outside patio and roomy interior and because the items we love are incomparable at any other Tex- Mex and because the prices are much more reasonable than the other most popular Cantinas for high quality food and nice ambiance. Our service was adequate- the waitress forgot our necessary extra onions - the fajitas come with 4-5 segments of a little onion! And she forgot we were having a birthday celebration after the meal--oh, no!!! (The restaurant itself is attractive, but the area off Tamina Road on the other side of 45 is slightly inconvenient and nearby power lines and overgrown grass seem out of place near this nice restaurant.)

The tacos were on the small side. They have 3 levels of hot. Don't be shy about the hottest (habenero) because it's not terribly hot and imho had a better flavor than the middle heat sauce which is green. Tacos were pretty good as was the horchata. You can choose your meat and toppings although things like guacamole are extra. They had prepackaged chocolate filled empanadas for a buck at checkout counter. They weren't very good. Lots of dough. Not much filling. I think if they could lower the price some I might be back. I do see on the bag they own Don Chuy Tortilleria which we liked on a separate visit there before.

And neither salsa is good, no flavor at all, just watery juice. Chips were good. I contemplated leaving, but the place was packed, and that many people couldn't have horrible taste and be congregated in 1place at the same time. So we stayed. The entrees saved the day. The enchiladas Suizas with grilled chicken were amazing!!! Tacos were ok, but the carnitas torta was 'gas', which is good I'm told. The Charro Beans are FANTASTIC!!!!!! I'd order a bucket of them!!!!

You choose a numbered spot, text the restaurant where you are and the staff will bring the food to your car. During the summer, this is greatly appreciated so I don't sweat in my work clothes.
