    Out leftovers for light lunch tomorrow. Tampiquena and Steak Fajitas were awesome.
    Mike N.

    I ordered the Steak fajitas and my wife ordered Tampiquena and we thoroughly enjoyed each dish. Even shared some bites. She actually had a fajita. Fajitas came smoking and spreading their awesome aroma as they arrived. Our server, Paola, was very gracious and professional and was on top of the service the whole time. We sat outside on the oatio on this beautiful November night in Clear Lake-Houston area.

    The skirt steak and grilled vegetables are to die for- so tender and flavorful!

    Awesome bar atmosphere and no loud Mexican music in the background - highly recommend

    Chicken & steak fajitas with bacon wrapped shrimp
    B B.

    5 stars. This is my new favorite Mexican spot in the Clearlake/south Houston area. My mother comes here weekly & has raved about it to me & I see why. The restaurant was beautiful, I loved the modern Spanish architecture. They had a wide variety of dishes, appetizers & desserts. The Queso blanco was delicious! It's vegan & GF which is a bonus! I ordered their steak & chicken fajitas & added bacon wrapped shrimp & it was some of the best Tex Mex I've had truly. Our waiter was fantastic & very attentive. The staff were so so kind. They also have a military discount which is a huge bonus! 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the Webster & Clearlake areas!!

    Shrimp empanada
    Goldie O.

    Came for happy hour with my co-workers and it did not disappoint! Everything I had was delicious! I ordered the shrimp empanadas, beef street tacos and a frozen margarita. Everything taste soo fresh and big quality. The fajita meat was sooo tender and well seasoned. The empanada was TO DIE FOR! Even the margarita tasted soo good and was blended. I also appreciated the great customer service from out bartender and even the general manager came and greeted us as well. I will definitely one back more often.

    Brunch Margaritas and Quesadillas

    Glad that we stopped here! Our waiter, Richard, absolutely made our day. Super nice and fast…read moreservice. He made sure to come back to check on us frequently and was so friendly. We got the fajitas for two and had lots of left overs, plus it was a lot cheaper than a lot of other chain restaurants. Food was also great, along with the chips and salsa. Wonderfully decorated and nice ambiance.

    If I could give this place zero stars, trust me, I would. One star is being generous…read more This happened on 11/25 around 9:30 PM, the night before Thanksgiving. And i get that it's a long week, people are tired, whatever. But the store is open until 10 PM, and I was only ordering chips and salsa... literally the easiest thing on the menu. Before I even got there, I called at 9:28 PM--when I was already down the street because I wanted to be courteous. I knew it was the night before a holiday, and I didn't want to place an order last-second and make anyone scramble. I literally just wanted the salsa ready so I could grab it and go. Joseph answers the phone and the FIRST thing out of his mouth is: "We close in 32 minutes." No "hello," no "what can I get for you," nothing. Just pure attitude. So i go in to pick it up since i already felt like a bother, the older gentleman at the front was actually very nice. He greeted me warmly when I walked in. But the second Joseph P came out with my to-go order, everything went downhill. When I arrived, he didn't greet me, didn't acknowledge me, didn't say a single word. He just pushed the bag across the counter like he couldn't be bothered to lift his arm. No eye contact, no basic manners, nothing. And to top it off -- I still tipped $8 on an $11 order (because I always tip well), and he looked at the amount and still didn't manage even a half-smile or a simple "thank you." Just the same annoyed expression. Meanwhile, people were still eating inside, and someone else picked up food after me without any issue. So this wasn't about closing time -- this was pure attitude from one person. I've had plenty of good visits here, which is why this stood out so badly. If this is what "proud service" looks like when Joseph is working, the bar is set low

    The night before Thanksgiving I went here finally and really enjoyed the whole experience. I…read moreordered the Chicken Enchiladas with gravy, just some yellow cheese on them with rice n refried beans. It was juicy, savory and very delicious. The sauce was mild, aromatic, salted enough and not too dense. The enchiladas were full cooked and tender. The cheese amount was enough to get some richness without being too cheesy or greasy. The chicken was plentiful and soft in feel adding nice bite and some protein vibes. The rice was subtle, fluffy and comforting. The refried beans were thankfully chunky with a touch of pudding feel, not too smooth. They also had a very unique spice in them too, which was good. The service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. I also plan to try their chipotle and spinach chicken enchiladas on future visits when in the area. I also liked how the food is not too Tex Mex like some restaurants that are overly Americanized.

    The best enchiladas!…read more If you're in the area (or even if you're not), and you're a fan of enchiladas (or even if you're not), you should give Barcenas a try. I had the basic Enchiladas Cheese, which were fantastic. The rice and beans were perfectly cooked and flavorful, which many comparable restaurants seem to struggle with. Chips and salsa were pretty standard, but still good. The place feels authentically Mexican, which is a nice change-up from all of the Tex-Mex places that are so common. The music and decor is all on point! Service was above and beyond as well. Even for a Sunday at lunch time, the waiters were constantly checking on us to make sure our drinks were topped off and to make sure we didn't need anything. I'll definitely be returning next time I'm in that part of town to try another of their enchiladas!
