    Parrillada Paiso.... This enormous serving was for 2, though it could easily feed a small family!
    Marie B.

    It's a hidden gem, located in a shopping plaza across HEB (Louetta Glen & Holzwarth). Clean & cozy, the atmosphere is homey and comfortable. Food tastes fresh (not greasy), is flavorful & cooked well, and portions are generous. Our first time here, we shared the Parrillada Paiso for 2. It was an extravagant mountain of grilled meat (served with rice, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, and tortillas) that could have easily fed a small family! The short ribs and carne asada fajitas were marinated well & tender... A definite bang for your buck. My only critique is that I wasn't a fan of the salsas. The red salsa was too chunky for my liking. The big pieces of vegetables were a little too much for each bite and weighed too heavy on the chips.... The green salsa is a verde-tomatillo sauce that was a little too tart for me. Enjoyed the ambiance very much. We will likely come back to try other menu items.

    Sorry. Was like velveta cheese, we had to leave. We ended up at Julio's. *********************************************

    Tacos al carbon

    My colleague had said good things about Eva's, so I had been meaning to pay them a visit. I finally visited for lunch on a weekend lunch and saw they have happy hour 6 days a week. It was very slow and no employees were up front except for a lady going around filling waters. I guess I came during their slow period of the day. I was finally seated after about 5 minutes. Even after the initial wait, I was still able to get in and out pretty quickly for a sit-down type restaurant....so that was great. Chips and salsa are a good measure on how the food will taste. If I don't like them, I probably won't like the food. I didn't really like either of their salsas. The red one was warm and a little spicy, while the green one was more refreshing. I ordered the tacos al carbon since I wasn't hungry enough for the fajitas, which are about $3 more. With the tacos, they give you 2 tortillas like most places and fill them up with quite a bit of meat. The fajita meat was nicely marinated/seasoned. Worth the extra price you pay to come here versus taco cabana for instance. May come back and try their happy hour. They have 2 locations which was a surprise to me.

    On a search for better salsa we attempted Eva's... When we walked in we were kinda told to just sit anywhere. I say kinda bc it was more a quick "you can go" over the shoulders of the girl at the front. We sat with no menus for a few minutes. We got menus after chips and salsa deliver and drink order. I got a Chicken Fajita Taco Salad and hubs a Chalupa plate. NOTHING HAD FLAVOR! The red sauce was pretty much tomato paste and cumin, green was a slimy smashed tomatillo salsa. This place could benefit greatly from some lemon/lime, garlic, cilantro, salt! Really anything. The waiter was okay. The atmosphere was old and outdated. Very dirty. Blinds were down next to us and had grease splashed and finger prints all over them. The windowsill had little dead bugs all down it with pealing paint. I guess our search continues.

    Authentic tasting Mexican food

    My wife said that the chicken enchiladas are the best she has ever had! It is right across from the 2920 HEB near I-45. We found a new spot and will be back.

    Beef enchiladas
    Astrid L.

    The food is phenomenal! The service is superb! Every time we eat here it is exceptional. It has quickly become me and my family's favorite restaurant to eat at. Their enchiladas are delicious and the food tastes so fresh. The happy hour margaritas are the icing on the cake! And it's very affordable too. 10/10 my new favorite restaurant.

    Lunchtime!!

    It is one of the best eating places in town. Friendly people with a great selection of different foods. The owner keeps a good tight ship.

    This is my favorite non-chain Mexican restaurant. From the over-the-top margaritas to the fresh…read morechips and salsa, we get the same thing every time we go, which is the paradilla fajitas. The service is always excellent. The food everything that I have had from here is so good all the time consistently. I have probably dined here at least 50 times in 16 years. And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you. Definitely try this place if you're in town. You won't regret it.

    This was my first visit to El Palenque in Spring. You get a friendly greeting as soon as you walk…read morein, this restaurant was packed and lets you know it must be good food. They have a really good salsa to go with their chips. I ordered Chicken Enchiladas with Queso Blanco and it was delicious, i'll definitely be back to order this again. If you haven't been here you're missing out as they have great Food and Service with an exciting atmosphere with plenty of staff that were very attentive!!
