    Tacos Taco Veloz (3)
    John B.

    I think this is my 3rd time here. Always friendly service and tasty food! I especially like their salsa verde! And great decor with the painted murals on the wall. The menu is quite large with many options. I opted for tacos today but I was also looking at the carne asada or pechuga. Too many items that look good!

    Chilaquiles verdes
    Sofia J.

    Music was too loud. Chilaquiles came with a sheet of seasoned chicken that I did not like. Attention was good, but food was not great. I do not think out of all the Mexican restaurants I have tried, that I would come back to this one.

    I heard good things about this place. I finally had a chance to check it out. I went with the burrito Maya. Stuffed with a Chile Relleno, rice and beans, guacamole and pico de gallo. I forgot to grab salsa so that's my bad. That probably would have helped it . Overall It was alright but not my favorite. Going to have to try more of the menu next time. Service was excellent .

    The service is fantastic and good to match. Today is Sunday at 1pm and guys just arrived to play live music. The ONLY reason I took made this 4 instead of 5 is because the music coming out of the speakers is toooo loud. Otherwise they would get 5 stars

    3.99 - Chilaquiles and at the top... El Tri
    Cynthia M.

    Great prices... Great food. Coffe is awesome! We order the 3.99 chilaquiles ... And then El Tri that comes with three eggs potatoes meat and beans with red sauce and green sauce on the eggs. Great value!

    Fun atmosphere.

    Wonderful service, atmosphere, and food. Truly authentic food and beautiful restaurant with custom painted murals on tables, walls, & floors.

    Best tacos in the area! I have tried all their meats but I prefer the tacos de lengua (tongue). So delicious! We always order an agua to drink, usually horchata, but I have tried pineapple and coconut before and both are good. My weekend treat!

    Pupusas
    Jenny M.

    I love this place. Everything has always been very good. My favorite is the breakfast. A friend had the Pupusas today and they were very good. The cabbage was tangy. They have homemade corn tortillas. The wait staff is mostly family and very friendly. The owner played professional soccer and the restaurant is decorated with memorabilia. I was so shocked to see this place was not on yelp, I don't want it to get to crowded, but you need to try it! Promise you won't be disappointed!

    We went on a Friday for lunch and they were busy but we were seated right away. Our server was…read moresuper sweet and did a great job. I ordered the Ribeye street tacos which are ribeye tips, (I cut the onions), cilantro, queso fresco soft corn tortillas with avocado salsa and spicy red sauce. I love hot food and this sauce was hot to me. So good! It also came with black beans which had great flavor. The restaurant has a Spanish, airy feel to it. It was clean and I would go back to this location again.

    I hate to do this because I have never had a bad experience at a Gringos, period. But today…read moreexperience was too horrible to not say anything. I met my son at the Gringos for a "quick lunch" before an appointment. When we walked in, there was no one at the hostess stand. After a 3-5 minute wait, the hostess appeared and assisted the couple in front of us. She put them on a wait list because they wanted a booth. We also requested a booths, so were also put on the waitlist. When the hostess put us on the list, we were told the they just needed to clean some tables. So we sat and waited. After 15 minutes, I got up and asked how much longer. Again...no one was at the hostess stand. After several minutes the hostess walked up and I inquired on an appropriate wait time. Her reply was however long it takes to get tables cleaned off. A quick look around, I could see many, many , many booths cleaned off. She took the first couple back and then disappeared again. Finally, a gentleman who I assumed was the manager approached us and sat us. We were quickly greeted by our waiter, Jason. From the looks of Jason, and unenthusiastic greeting, I'm going to say that Jason should have called out for the day. I have had warmer welcomes at Waffle House than this kid could muster. Jason took our order and he too disappeared. We waited so long for our lunch, I was beginning to think something had happened. I mean , we were now past the hour mark of walking into the place. Maybe it wasn't entered into the POS. Maybe there was a large to go order placed right before us? Maybe our food was ready, but just sitting in the window getting stale and cold? Ding ding ding! Yep. I had the coldest fish tacos and my son's fajita tacos were dried out. We would have said something, but again, Jason had disappeared. When he came back around he dropped the card reader on the table....still had plates, never asked for my reward number , to go boxes, nothing. When I asked him to enter my reward number, he put other tables dirty plates in front of us to take me to the screen to add my own number and walked away. That's the last time that we ever saw Jason. And I think that this will be our last visit to the Conroe Gringos. Serious training needs to happen at this location or it won't make it. Eating out is too expensive to put up with a snotty, eye rolling hostess and waiters who "appear" to be self medicating?

I was in the mood for a beef stuffed Chimichanga and my wife opted for the Fajita combo of beef and chicken Chulapas. My wife was really impressed with her meal. She said it was full of flavor and one of the best tasting Chulapas she has ever had. My beef Chiminchanga really hit the spot and was exactly what I was looking for. My daughter-in-law ordered the beef Tacos a la Mexicana was thrilled with how good they tated. My granddaughter wanted an Enchilada and scarfed it down so quickly, I have to believe that she really liked it. The rice and beans were also full of flavor and coupled with some premium Margaritas our dining experience was a complete success. We have returned a couple more times and again found the food to be delicious. Each and every time our service as good as the food. I highly recommend Mama Juanita's for a great Mexican meal experience as they have become our go to for great Mexican food.
