I just want to let you all know that some of the servers will add a tip to your tab if your party is less than a party of 3 but they add 20% tip to parties of 3 or more. Be very cautious about your total. Plus an extra charge for using a debit/credit card. I had to call my waitress out for adding the tip when it was just me and my friend. That added tip was about $40 dollars my tab was right around $140 for two people. The picture was after I made her remove the tip, it was $185 the first time. I use to work in the industry so I am ver aware of the importance of tipping and I tip well, except when a server is trying to get over on me. The visit was on point, I liked my server and we laughed together so I was ver disappointed that she would do this . I really liked this place but now I will never return! read more

This place is good if you're drunk and hungry cause you won't care if there's no flavor. mainly people coming in for drinks!!

Plenty of parking, seating area has 2 levels. Margaritas are awesome, get frozen top shelf! Street tacos and quesadillas are the best. Good food at good prices. Great service. Fri and Sat after 9pm becomes a party with DJ. read more

Good micheladas!!! Food isn't too bad. But the vibe is really nice inside and will go again.. now, the only thing that I had an issue and hope with this review helps management I had to smash over like 7 flies around my table I was sitting. It seems really clean so didn't understand why but handle that and all good! read more

First off I'm here the day before Father's Day, we got sat down immediately, even though it's extremely packs, drinks came out right away 10/10 margaritas are AMAZING! And the food didn't even take 10 mins to come out.. we got the Fajitas for 2 the meat is top quality! Everything was amazing service also 10/10 we will most definitely be regulars read more

Good service, everyone helps each other. I have been there twice now and just noticed something with my bill. Beware if you go there and you pay the bill because the gratuity was already added to my bill and I didn't notice because the total was in bold which included the gratuity. I paid another tip, so they were tipped twice. Pay attention to your bill! There was also extra charges for ranch sauce and etc. read more

The enchiladas Verdes were amazing, I'm not from the area but I would come back for the food. The waitress wasn't great, but the manager was fantastic. This place was definitely like a sports bar with Mexican food. It was great. Seems like after hours it gets down! Would come back with friends ( if I make any) read more

it smells like mold and there is smoke in the air and I think they should get it under controlled but that the food is all good but country music and Mexican restaurants just not right read more

First timer! It's a popular place so be prepared to wait a while. Our waiter was very busy with it of tables...but he got our order right. Which is good. Don't order the small guacamole...it's ridiculously small. We sent it back for a large. I went for the don julio margaritas. 2 of them had me feeling just right. I'll be back! read more

Food was just average, or less than average. The queso is canned yellow goo with chunks of bell pepper (???... yes, bell pepper) in it. Not good at all. read more

I was introduced to this restaurant by a co-worker. I am writing my review after my second visit. I really do not writing a review after my first visit unless I am out of town. This restaurant is pretty new and has a few different review. So I didn't pick to eat here again basic from the review. This restaurant has a lot of seating and is not too busy for lunch. I really like that they serve you queso with the salsa at no extra charge. That is something nice that I really enjoyed. The plates are big, and the prices are great especially for lunch. For the size of the restaurant they have the right amount of staff I think. But keep in mind that I came here during the week and both time they where not busy at all. There are a lot of Mexican restaurant in the area to pick from. This is just my point of view from the two times I have visit it. Very nice staff and the food comes out very quickly, and tastes good. Enjoy! read more

El Refu - Shrimp Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Humble, Texas

The food was awesome, and the food prices are on point. The margaritas are nice and strong, and the DJ had us grooving for hours.

I did not eat the food. Only guacamole. It was fresh and you can tell it was just made before it was served. If you are a heavy drinker I would suggest the patron margarita. I got an extra shot but it was not needed. They also have 3.00 house margaritas on happy hour which are tasty but sneaks up on you! read more

BE VERY CAREFUL DRINKING HERE... Drinks are great, but very strong.. they add gratuity to parties 2+ !!!! So please do NOT add additional tip, unless you really check how much they are charging you! They do NOT bring you the receipt once you've handed your card over, so it's hard to check how much was charged, or if it was even charged correctly. Keep a VERY close eye on everything. They WILL try to scam you. Service is very slow, so if you're VERY hungry, don't come here for dinner... Club, or restaurant? Both. The music was great. It gets packed right at 9pm. The service could be better, but again it's busy so it's explainable. The drinks are VERY strong. 1 margarita was enough for me. It tasted more like I was drinking straight alcohol .. had very little flavor to it. It's not bad, just depends on your vibe. If you're coming here late, just know it's practically a club at that time & not so much a family restaurant anymore. read more

I am honestly so disappointed. I came here for happy hour and I was not happy in this hour. The drinks weren't good, the waiter brought us yellow queso when we asked for white and then proceeded after to tell us that there was no more white queso. Taco Cabana would have done us better. Also after being disappointed about our queso we decided to do something else and yet again was disappointed with the quesadilla. Wouldn't recommend! read more

i've been here multiple times with family and friends and the food is always good, service is good, and vibe is great! definitely recommend

Decided to come here because I was in the mood for a quick bite to eat and a margarita. Unfortunately, this was a disappointment. The food was mediocre at best and the margarita was more mix than anything else. Barely had any service; I basically had to serve myself. The enchiladas were not good at all. The meat was dry and the beans tasted like it came straight out of the packet. read more

They are constantly charging gratuity on parties of 2 and acting oblivious when called on this illegal practice. The tacos are usually okay, more times than should, they have not been the best. Do better by people would be my suggestion. read more

Food is pretty good. Drinks are great. Fun vibe. Good music at night. Fun happy hour on Fridays.

Good food, not expensive. Service is always a little slow later in the evening but the chips and salsa hold you over lol the drinks are good as well. Wouldn't recommend if you don't like loud music because the music is LOUD read more

This review is NOT about the food it's about the rude service at the front. I was trying to throw a happy hour celebration for a coworker who's leaving the job I told the lady we had 6-7 people coming for the celebration and the Host was RUDE AS HELL.....she instead found a table for 3 guys who were in line behind us.....we have spent a lot of damn money in this place and this is how we are being treated. The management team has done a terrible job in training their Host Staff. Words cannot describe how pissed off I am right now......you just cost your coworker a tip. The place was 15% at the time of this smdh... read more

Visiting from San Antonio -- my girlfriend introduced me to this place. Walked in and immediately noticed this place is jumping...Awesome music, dancing, and a 2nd floor upstairs that overlooks the dance floor. Very good DJ who played a great mix/variety of songs and genres. I ordered the chicken street tacos w/beans & rice plus a watermelon margarita. Waited only about 8 minutes for the food. The food and drinks were very tasty and high quality. The waitress was super attentive and helpful. The place had a nice layout with good visibility of the dance floor from almost every seat. Huge big screen on the wall... Full bar... This place has the energy of a club with the feel & service of a restaurant. Nice mix of Latin/Hispanic, Blacks, Whites & other races. Local police security at the entrance to ensure a peaceful time for everyone. I enjoyed the food, the music and the atmosphere. I'll be back. 5 stars read more

El Refu - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Humble, Texas

We went on a thursday night for my boyfriend's birthday and it was absolutely amazing. Im only putting a review because i see negative ones and I want someone to see that aI loved it. They are loud but it's a bar atmosphere so it's really nice and the food is DELISH. Not all the drinks are strong but some are your max would probably be 4. I had enchiladas and got a plate to go because they were so good and the food came out hot and fresh. read more

Not bad for the suburbs. Decent menu with decently prized margaritas. I probably paid half of what I would've paid getting the same stuff inside the loop. No complaints about service either -- our server was prompt and friendly. The music is fun, but really way too loud. At certain sections of the restaurant, you can't converse with your company at all. Otherwise would've given 4 stars, but I took off a star for the noise factor. read more

Taste like microwave food, watered down drinks. Had leftovers and didn't eat them all. Lacking flavor and or seasoning in food. Will not be returning here. read more

This restaurant accommodates me every time I go. Being vegan limits me....especially at a Mexican restaurant. Drinks here are great! The atmosphere can get a little raunchy at times, but I guess that's why many people go here. I have my " people watching " moments too ...and this place stays pretty interesting for the most part... read more

My husband and I just moved to the area. We were in the mood for Mexican and gave this place a shot. It was totally worth it! It was absolutely delicious. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for yummy food at a decent price. Friendly staff and great service. We went during lunch hours and had the lunch specials. The portions were huge! read more

Food was good. Waiters were nice. Drinks were good. Don't take a first date here if you want to get to know them. The music is beyond loud ours ears were ringing when we left. If you are across the table you will not be able to hear the person you are with. I was literally screaming so my husband and daughter could hear me. Lots of tvs with the game on it but can't hear anything. Yes I am older but even my 24 year old daughter could not handle how loud it was. read more

Me and my family are on a trip and we stopped by here for a quick bite- man. It so, so delicious. Amazing Tex mex, massive portions, even the tea is very good. We got fish tacos and chicken nachos and they were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend if you're hungover or if you need a place to eat with your family. It could go both ways. read more

The waiter was pretty responsive, and the margaritas are STRONG! The food had ok flavor but was missing something. Pretty packed on Thursday evening but had a good happy hour for after work. The pricing was good as well. read more

Always a good experience. Hot, fast, and fresh yummy food. Music and drinks... what more could you ask more.

Ever looking for one hitter quiter with drinks this the spot lol n the food I love the street tacos n wings n queso dip

Come here if you want to eat your food alone, the music is so loud you can't even speak to a person sitting next to you. Literally, am I in a night club or restaurant? This place is ridiculous read more

We went for a dinner. The service was incredibly slow, it was exceptionally loud, and the fajitas were mediocre. We were given plastic silverware. We asked for real silverware (other tables had real ones) but we were never brought any. When the bill came, it was very unclear- both a cash and a credit card price were listed as well as added gratuity (for a party of 2!!). I think it is crazy to have all these extra charges. When our change was returned, the bill had been removed so we couldn't see if the change was correct or what total they had used. I'm guessing this is a practice to get you to leave more tip above what is automatically added. In my opinion, all this seems shady and deceptive. We will not be returning. read more

Went here for my friend's birthday. We had so much fun here. The food was delicious and the drinks were strong.

If I could rate this place a "1 Star" I would. My sister and her guests has been waiting over 1 1/2 hours for a table of 20 and the hostess told us it will be a hour wait then the manager states after the hour we already waited that we have to wait for an additional hour like OMG!!! How crazy is that the manager didn't suggest any other section to us nor did the manager Tony try to accommodate us. BAD business Horrible Manager terrible service. I will never step a foot into the establishment ever again!! I really wanted to try this place it seems so cool and the dj was about to start playing music. Oh well we went to Los Cucos instead and was seated immediately. read more

We've been coming to this place for awhile. Food is always great. It is loud, so be prepared for that. We noticed on our last visit that(party of only 2) 15% gratuity was added to our bill along with a 4% credit/debit card fee. We have never noticed the gratuity before, but it may only be added if you have alcoholic beverages. The 4% credit card fee is new, and seems quite unnecessary. These fee and gratuity are also not very well illustrated on the itemized receipt so I'm sure the server's are getting double tipped more often than not(I spent 10 years in the industry so I'm sure the server's love it). Also, when we they gave us our merchant copy to sign the itemized receipt was gone. Our food and service was Great, just seemed purposely deceptive. read more

This was surprisingly delicious I had the parrillada with fajita chicken and shrimp and everything was good including the rice and beans it comes with on the side. Their chips and queso were super good too. I tried the margarita sampler with 4 different flavors and those were fire ! Definitely a must if you go. I risked it with a ceviche tostada andddd it was pretty good too. Will definitely go back read more
