Good vibes and tasty food. Service and atmosphere: All staff members were friendly and professional. They didn't luck in attentiveness front either. The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated and offered many seating arrangements. Food and drinks: Genuine and authentic. Plenty to choose from. All dishes have good flavours and right amount of seasoning. Home made tortillas was a plus. You have to try their cafe de olla. Strong and sweet. Pricing: $$. We will definitely come back to try more.
The food is delicious! Birria tacos in consommé, fresh guacamole, and the salsa at the table was amazing. Everything is fresh and flavorful! The service is friendly and helpful. The ambiance was festive and fun!
El Pueblito de Frida is a hidden gem, the atmosphere is so cute and the service was awesome, our server, Carla, was fantastic! This place was delicious! My family is vegetarian and we had some AMAZING vegetarian dishes. We tried the chilaquiles torta, veggie burrito, huitlacoche enchiladas and the flor de calabaza quesadilla. Every plate was super flavorful, well seasoned and unique sometimes vegetarian Mexican food can be underwhelming or lack flavor, not here! This is the best vegetarian Mexican food in Houston! 10/10 recommend to any vegetarians, you won't be be disappointed. Also LOVE that the restaurant is dog friendly, we sat in the beautiful patio and enjoyed a great meal with the whole family! Thanks Carla for the great service, we'll be back!
We had the pozole rojo, sopecitos, and agua de pepino. It was delicious. The pozole with pork had bold flavor without being too spicy, and the portions were generous. Great ambiance and friendly service.
The place is pretty clean and the food was good. The service was good. They have a patio but it's probably better to go in the fall or spring. It was pretty hot but they did have fans going. They had a band come out and play music on Saturday evening. Inside was air conditioned and would probably would have been better. Beer was cold though. I would go back but probably in the fall or even in the beginning of winter.
Food definitely amazing but a little pricey! For 2 dressed up mineral waters and noodles w/ tacos, we spent $68 very overpriced!! Service was a little slow! The setting felt very authentic and nice! Would I recommend? Yes!
Let me just say this place was incredible amazing customer service,great ambiance and delicious food and drinks! I'm definitely coming back, the food took me back to my roots!
Howdy! Time for another exciting review from the land of Lorena! My girlfriend sent me a FB reel of this place, and she wanted to check it out, say less! We planned a girls brunch! Parking: We arrived, and were told parking was $5 for valet, or you can park in the adjacent lot for $5 as well. Parking on the street is also an option, so happy hunting for parking spot! Ambiance: At first glance the place was cute, but as we started to look around and truly soak it in, we noticed the decor really needed to be "vamped up ". For example, the gazebos sit up higher, and have severely rotting wood around the bottom of them as well as ripped cushions for seating. A lot of the hanging flowers and decor look sunburned, and old, etc... I'm sure it looked amazing when it all went up, but now it needs a "refresh". There was a mariachi band in the patio, and they were walking around and taking song request, we did not request a song, so I do not know if there is a fee request. The food : There are a variety of items on the menu, ranging from traditional Birria to tacos, tortas, mole etc. They also do have a large array of alcoholic beverages. We ordered a couple of Micheladas, Which were very good! I had the shrimp tacos. My girlfriend had the green Gorditas. Portion sizes on each dish we're good. However, the food was not very hot, it was warm to room temperature. I'm one of those weirdos so like my food scorching hot. Not a dealbreaker, though, as the food was still good and you could tell it was pretty fresh made. The complimentary chips and salsa were also very good. They come with a genuine mexican salsa. The service: The service was a bit slow, at the time of our visit if we're not very busy, but we still had to flag our server down a few times. The server was friendly, and was also familiar with the menu, which is a plus. Would I return? Meh, maybe, if one of my friends absolutely wanted to go there.
This place is much more than just another content shoot, the food is DELICIOUS, the staff are very sweet and helpful, it's great for groups and the family and you'll feel like you've gone to another country once inside our out in their patio. Disclaimer: it's a little pricey. It was two of us and I'm not sure how we spent $98 lol but maybe that was with a 22% tip, can't remember but I do remember having a great time and that's priceless. We ordered: - Horchata Agua Fresca (huge pitcher size so definitely shareable) - Pepino Agua Fresca (these are $10+ fyi) - Chips and Guacamole. Very tasty but we didn't need more chips so I would opt out of it next time. - 6 Birria Tacos (half goat, half res). The consume and fixings were exactly what I needed. - Mocktail Don't remember the name of the Mocktail but they'll come around asking if you'd like this cocktail that they make in front of you which normally has tequila in it, fresh orange juice, Squirt and other things but we got it without alcohol and OMG IT WAS SO GOOD! I'm sure it would've been delicious with tequila in it as well but we weren't wanting it at that moment. Super refreshing and fun to watch them make it! Maybe this is what racked up that bill lol. Overall, it's so worth coming but definitely some things are shareable like them drinks so keeping that in mind for the next time!
Service was really good. Only downfall would be paying to valet. We went to their other parking lot down the street and walked. Prices were higher but not too unreasonable. Food was good but I think you go here for the ambience.
This used to be my favorite place when the cabanas were nice . Now they let them looked bad. They did renovated the patio which looked better but the place has been run down compared to before. Food was good but service was too slow. Took 40min for the food to come when the restaurant wasn't busy at lunch. When order drinks the server just decided to upsale and didn't ask if we want small or larger size. Don't feel too comfortable with that. They now add Frida name on used to be el pueblito.
Came here for a birthday dinner and had a great time! The staff was super friendly, they speak both English and Spanish and provided great recommendations. The tortillas are freshly made out on the patio and the patio has fun photo op walls and little flower decorated gazebos. All very cute and lots of fun. The food was just as good as the ambiance! I tried the quesadillas flor de calabaza. Their green masa has a great flavor and adds more savory flavor to their dishes. I also really enjoyed that you get a giant mug when you order their agua frescas. I had the lemon con pepino and you could tell it was freshly made with little pieces of cucumber. Highly recommend this place if you'd like some delicious food and a cute photo op!
My friend Patti O. told me to try this place. Actually I'm getting confused, it was Barbi B, but they have a Patti O, hence the name. The food is good, hearty, tasty, "Montrose Mexican" rather than Mexican, so I suppose Tex Mex, but a little less generic and made with love. The 5 star rating comes from me being supportive, because time and again, I've witnessed the neighbours to the East (the shopping plaza) being extremely un-neighbourly and un-Houstonian, if you will. And in a couple of cases, downright racist. That has no place in our world, in our city, and especially in Rainbowville Montrose, and those people who don't like sharing the urban space we are crammed into, and who don't like those who were born outside the USA and speak Spanish, should go and find a nation to live in that is more in keeping with their views, such as 1930s Germany as an example. read more
OH-EM-GEE!! I'm shocked at how low the reviews are for this place ! I stopped by here right between lunch and dinner time, so the place was pretty quiet at the time. This place is Houston's Hidden Gem! Everything is freshly made from tortillas, Birria meats, agua frescas, etc. I ordered everything I could from Guacamole, ceviche, Lamb and goat Birria tacos, agua frescas etc. Hands down best Birria tacos I've had. I don't eat beef and I love how inclusive they are to include other meat types asides from beef for the Birria tacos. Tacos were flavorful, esp eaten with their homemade spicy salsa and guac and consome. Let me tell you they DID NOT SKIMP ON THE MEAT OR PORTIONS!!! Next time I come here I definitely want to try the alcoholic drinks/beers that are served with the seafood and shrimp. Service was okay at the time just bc i went during a slow time. They gave great recs off the menu. If I have one advice to give the restaurant is to improve their menu quality/make it more organized. They have a lot of things that they offer that are not on the menu, adding that would be extremely helpful. This is definitely a place you want to come visit weekday, weekend, Happy-hour (until 4 pm with lunch deals), anytime of the day honestly big groups or small groups this restaurant is prepared. I heard on weekends they have live music can't wait to check it out!!! read more
I love this place and recommend anyone that is looking for a more authentic Mexican food spot! The vibes are very Mexican with real live bands playing and great for couples and families as well. I would come back! The price is also decent enough. They have an area that accommodates a more quiet vibe and the outside patio being much more for a louder, music vibe. I recommend the gorditas as it was my favorite dish here. read more

Food was good! We ordered chicken tacos and a machete (cilantro tortilla) The natural lemonade was so yummy too!! Would come back for the food and the chips and Salsa were yummy! The weather was nice that day we we sat outside. Not sure how it is inside. I read some reviews saying it's hot but we didn't get that experience since we did sit outside and fall is starting so weather was beautiful. Con's: parking wasn't ideal. We went on a Thursday morning so it was pretty empty. Which was good for us. Music was a bit loud. Otherwise would come back! read more

Celebrated my husbands birthday here and it was such a great celebration. The live mariachi was great and the food was delicious. Our server was helpful and brought our food out as soon as she could. The day we went was packed but I understand for the experience. I enjoyed the Mexican decorations and floral decor they had. Great place to bring the entire family. The only negative is the parking. We got valet down the block but they brought our car right to us when we were ready to leave. read more

So this is the famous spot that kept popping up on my TikTok feed. I'd been hesitant to visit since many TikTok-viral places end up being a bit overrated. I arrived around 9:45 a.m. for breakfast, only to find that breakfast items weren't on the main menu--which almost made me leave. Luckily, I asked, and they did bring out a breakfast menu. I ordered the Friday Plate while my guest went with the chilaquiles, and I added an atole de horchata to drink. While waiting, I tried the elote queso flameado, which was really good--the corn flavor stood out and made it worth it. When our main plates came, we had ordered our eggs sunny-side mid-temp, but unfortunately, they didn't get them right. It was disappointing since eggs should be one of the easiest things to nail. The meat was also quite chewy and hard to bite, which wasn't what I expected. On the positive side, the green salsa on the chilaquiles was excellent, and the plátano duro was full of flavor. The green tortillas were also a nice touch--just be careful, they break easily. Customer service was okay--nothing bad, but nothing that stood out either. Overall, it feels like the restaurant has the popularity and hype, but the food needs to catch up to the reputation that TikTok built for it. I'll come back later to try their lunch menu and see if that changes my opinion. read more
It doesn't matter what Pueblito you're from, if you're not visiting El Pueblito de Frida, you're playing yourself. Whether it's the Birria or the Piña Rita, they bring the heat bruh! Stepping in, I was transported to the Caribbean Coast of Mexico. I almost started to Salsa down the floor on my way to chips and salsa. It wasn't Easter but I was feeling like a Bad Bunny sitting outside on the breezy patio underneath a cabana. Our server Carlos was on point with the service! Drinks and food came out in rapid succession. Chips and salsa? Check! Agua Fresca de Melon/Limonada mixed? Check! Mexican Candy ( alcohol drink)? Check! Piña Rita? Check! Extra Vodka and Tequila? Check! Chicos y Chicas, I was feeling myself by the time the food came out. Birria tacos de res (beef)? On point! Birria Verdes de borrego (lamb)? On point! Birriaquiles Molcajete with beef? On point! Only thing I could even kind of criticize is the consome but not really. The beef consome was a tad light for me but the lamb consome hit hard with the chickpeas in it. All this food and I didn't leave anything on my plato. The vibe here is a fiesta, so if you're in the mood for a party with good food and good drinks, roll thru and find out! P.S. Pro tip: The staff is very diverse but everyone I spoke to spoke Spanish, so if you speak español, flex your skills. read more

The food was tasted and was presented like having tacos at the park on a hot summer day. We had the birria verdes and the birria ramen. The food was served poorly. Why is the birria ramen in a ramen bowl that I could buy in the store? Service was terrible as the place had zero air flow there. The kitchen is in right of where people are sitting and it was so hot. They had air conditioners that weren't turned on. People began to complain and we see the inside was 85 degrees. The ambiance of the place was like eating in a very local spot, run down. However the back was nice but still very hot. Presentation of the place was so different from the actual food. We talked to one of the employees who made us Paloma's but she didn't know exactly what she was making. We saw how humble she was though and tried to include tip for her and we find out they don't actually tip her. How terrible. read more

What an adorable patio and wonderfully friendly staff! I saw a video about this place on Instagram and was excited to try it. My bf and I went on a Wednesday evening, around 7 and there weren't very many people there. We sat outside, in an elevated gazebo with sheer curtains, fairy lights, and a ceiling fan. It was very romantic and we felt very special. There was a woman making green tortillas outside on a gridle and we got to see them lower a HUGE pot full of birria into an underground fire pit to cook for 48-hours. It was really cool. The menu isn't huge but there are many options. They specialize in birria and make it with goat and lamb, as well as beef. I got the goat and it was meltingly soft and bursting with flavor. I got it on some chilaquiles in red sauce. They make their chilaquiles the way I love it - every chip soaked in sauce and a healthy amount of birria and crema on top. It was DELICIOUS. My bf got a jumbo quesadilla with the lamb birria. It was also super good. We had some of their fresh aguas. I had the lime and it was so refreshing and not too sweet. He got the horchata and really loved it. It had just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. We didn't try any of the alcoholic drinks but they looked really good. I am going to make it a regular spot when I want some good Mexican food and definitely a first stop when friends visit Houston! read more

pretty good spot for happy hour! They have some of the cheapest margs in town if you can make it to their happy hour. Now, the actual quality of these margs is questionable. I always feel so sick after a round of their margs. The food is decent, I love their pineapple salsa and chips. They get points off for questionable cleanliness of this place. Last time I was here, they had no functioning bathrooms because the plumbing was exploding out of the toilet, and gross smelling liquids was all over the floor leaking out of the bathrooms into the main hallway. However, the outdoor cabanas with the lights are beautiful at night and is def a selling point! Overall, not a bad spot for happy hour with a nice ambiance if you sit in the outdoor cabana. read more

The food wasnt accurate. The food is deceiving. The lady that served us didnt even know anything about the food or the menu and was super awkward. They werent willing to change the plate so we had to order a different thing. Im guessing you have to be super specific when not wanting a certain ingredient on the food. If youre not specific theyll just assume what it is you dont want on your food. The place is nice inside has a good ambiance. Lots of food options and the drinks are good. I had to order the quesadillas and they were really good. read more

Good specials. Really can't go wrong with $3 margaritas or beer. Patio cabana are amazing during the day and cute at night (all lit up). They play loud Hispanic music so it just adds to the good vibes. Oh and they have shisha if you dabble. Overall great place and new watering hole for me. read more

This place looks like a traditional mexican restaurant but is priced like any other normal american one. Food is decent, the meat had good flavor but the tortillas were too thin. Horchata was really good, not too sweet. I did not like the bathrooms tho, round knobs and no paper towels means you're trapped after washing your hands. Service was fast and friendly. Overall this place is ok 6.5/10 read more
