Fui hoy esperando algo mejor que esto. Cuando llegué a mi destino y vi lo que me habían dado, luego luego llame. Cuando llamé y les dije lo sucedido la muchacha me dice "y que sugiere que hagamos", eso fue lo primero. Cuando hablé con el cocinero, le dije que había pedido dos quesadillas de fajita y se supone que son quesadillas pero ni queso tenían menos carne y aparte el arroz estaba tieso. Ordene 2 órdenes de quesadillas con fajita, que lo cobran. El cocinero luego me dijo "pues son quesadillas llevan más queso que carne, la carne se proporciona" "y al respeto del arroz acabamos de cambiar la olla". Pero como se ve en las fotos ni queso ni carne tenían pero como dijo "se proporciona". I went there today expecting something better than this. When I got to my destination and saw what they had given me, I immediately called. When I called and told them what had happened, the girl said to me "what do you suggest we do?, with an attitude. That was the first thing. When I spoke to the cook, I told him that I had ordered two fajita quesadillas and they are supposed to have cheese but they didn't have any cheese, let alone meat and the rice seemed like it was old rice or burnt. I ordered 2 orders of quesadillas with fajita which they charge you for. The cook then told me "well, they are quesadillas they are supposed to have more cheese than meat, the meat is proportioned" "and as for the rice, we just changed the pot." But as you can see in the photos, they didn't have any cheese or meat but as she said "it is proportioned". read more

pork red meat that's supposed to be hot was cold! Tortillas -cold, beef steak/fajita-cold so whats the point of advertising freshly made tortillas and getting people sick with pork not kept hot before serving-- get your cooks to get SERVE SAFE certified through Health Department read more

Delicious authentic Mexican food. Have been coming here for years with my family. Known for their gorditas and champurrados. Very fast and friendly service. The style is very cozy and eclectic decor.

The Pozole is on Point here!! Now I've had good homemade pozole even great homemade pozole, but the pozole here was Better!! If I lived closer to this place I'd probably come back more frequently. :( Even though the restaurant was packed nonstop, the service was Great. Super friendly and helpful. It didn't take long to wait for a open table. read more

This is a pretty authentic mexican place to eat and it's probably not in the safest area, so the windows and doors are barred up. They say the chips here are extra but we weren't charged for them. The folks who work there were pretty attentive, but probably don't speak a ton of english. You don't need to know spanish to eat here though and still be ok. The food was really good! We got the enchiladas and the fajitas. I would recommend getting either of them. We saw lots of people get the gorditas which looked awesome! I would probably go again and get them without a doubt. There are also a few tiendas nearby that sell tacos and things similar, but i don't think they are sit down restaurants and i haven't eat there so i can't compare them really well. The red salsa is super spicy and the green salsa is a little thickish, but both were good! I am white so i'm probably not the best authentic mexican food judge! read more

La comida excelente el servicio excelente ambiente familiar recomiendo al 100% ciento

Gorditas are delicious if they get the order right. This is the tired time I have ordered and they do not get it right. Called to ask for manager to complain does not want to talk to me or give me a call back. Tired of paying for something you didn't order and don't like. two thumbs down. NEED BETTER SERVICE RUDE!!!! read more

Food is great but geez their AC system is a hit or miss often and that makes me want to go elsewhere. Love the Menudo but it's hard to eat when your sweating inside. read more

Gorditas Aguascalientes - Gorditas De Deshebrada - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Eh, this place isn't great, but it isn't awful either.....it's more like, I'll only go if we happen to be in the area and want something somewhat quick. My family and I came here for dinner since my husband was craving pozole. It turns out by the time we had arrived, they had already sold out. I ended up ordering the chicken fajitas for one to split with my kiddo and my husband ended up ordering menudo. The fajitas weren't all that great...the chicken didn't taste fresh and majority of the hot plate consisted of onions and maybe a few slices of bell peppers. They also do not provide shredded cheese with the fajitas; that and some other "extras" will cost you. The plate did come with a tiny bit of sour cream, pico, guacamole, and rice. I tried spicing it up with the salsa that came with the chips, but it did no good. My husband liked the menudo, but said it definitely wasn't the best. The chips and salsa.....ugh the salsa appeared and tasted like it was super watered down. Such a disappointment as I love salsa! The chips were rather hard, so that made me doubt their freshness. The customer service is non-existent here as our drinks fell empty and not one server came to fill them up....the watery salsa ended up disappearing somehow and yet again, no one asked if we wanted more. My daughter needed to use the restroom and like always, I went with her. While the toilet area was clean, there were paper towels over flowing out of the trash can. There is only one restroom per gender, by the way, so there's no doubt that the entire female staff had seen this mess. read more

Gorditas Aguascalientas....named for both Gorditas (the food) and Aguascalientes (the city in Mexico....known in English as Warm Springs!).....this restaurant is in a dumply little center where the Cuban Cafe Piquet used to be and now another Salvadorian Pupusaria seems to be going out of business. Do not let that fool you however; this restaurant is puro mexicano. From the outside, you don't have great hopes, but when you walk in, it is a cute, clean and well ordered restaurant. At the doorway, you see a fruit/produce cart with giant cazuelas (earthenware caseroles) filled with fresh onions, avocados and other produce. Directly in front is a kitchen where the señoritas are making little corn masa pizzas (which will become sopes) and flat, thick disks that will become the gordita. Sopes (SO-pays) are 3" disks of corn mean that has a small rim build in, leaving a crater of middle that you can put all kinds of stuffings. Imagine anything that you wanted in a taco stuffed into the inside of the sope. The general archtechture is: crust, beans, meat, lettuce, tomatoes, onions/cilantro/tomatoes and greated fresh cheese. Gorditas are the same corn-y disk that has been fried and split and then stuffed with the same items. Gorditas are the Mexican equivalent of pita bread, so it is easy to think of it that way. There are lots of other alternatives on the menu as well. Huaraches (wah-rah-CHASE) are oval shaped fried masa (which looks like a sole of a sandle = huarache). Stuffings are all varied. From the pork carnitas with the spiky red sauce, carne desherbrada or shredded beef, the usual selection of cheese, avocado, rajas (roasted poblanos in strips), chicken, tongue, barbacoa, etc. The food was very nice. The service was so sweet and kind. While English may not be spoken here, the menus are translated correctly and you can point and choose. Of course, a few words of Spanish is always appreciated. They have big jars of juices, which I appreciate more than the commercial vats of stuff that circulate in most places like an aquarium without the fish. The Horchata (rice drink with cinnamon) was nice. I don't know if this place is open late at night, but it would be great for that 3 AM taco craving! Great place for breakfast. Very "local" indeed and, at 8 AM on a Saturday morning, people were already in there having coffee, gorditas and a beer. What's not to like?!?!?! read more

You know it's authentic when you are the only non-Hispanic in the room, and the servers barely know English. This place is pretty legit - simple Mexican food, surprisingly fresh, and for a great price! I recommend any of their gorditas and sopes. Chips and salsa have a nice kick. Love their beans here as well! Overall, great place to come for a quick, cheap bite to satisfy your Mexican food itch. read more

"This place is a gold mine", my dad told me the first time he took me here (may he RIP). To elaborate: down home flavor and good prices. I don't understand what the haters are talking about. All I can say is that if you're looking for Tex-Mex, this place is not for you. read more

I'm rating this a 3 start just because of the waiters, they are really slow and they have a bad attitude towards you for no reason the food is really good but the way they waiters are is giving this restaurant a bad rating read more

Great atmosphere, traditional Mexican (not your Typical TexMex restaurant) acceptable menu, overpriced, not the best flavor, but still different, it could be better, if they improve their service, which is very bad, I'm wife and I ordered "Parrillada for 2 $22.00 (very high price for the amount of food we got ) and the order took almost 30 minutes to be deliver, and when the server finally came with our order, she forgot the tortillas, and I took another 20 minutes to get them, we also had to ask for silverware that wasn't set on our table, and when they brought us that, one knife was missing!! Truly a very bad experience, we've been there before, and we also had brought friends and family out of the state with us, but due to this last bad experience, it would probably be the last we'll go there! Very disappointed read more

Called in an order around midnight they picked up took my order and said it would take 10 min, so I sent my husband to go get it the place was closing down one of the cooks said there was no order and all the wait staff was gone. Why take my order if you're not gonna make it just say sorry we're closing soon. Made me drive up there for nothing people are so careless and rude one old guy in a big green truck didn't even care about what happened we was closing the place down didn't even apologize! read more

I absolutely love this place. Incredibly authentic and wonderfully flavored Mexican food. Particularly love the guisaido de puerco and the Mexican ham (sorry, can't remember the Spanish word). There is no shortage of great and authentic Mexican in Houston, but this place is one of the best. Really feels like a nice family taqueria in a smaller colonial city. Highly recommended! read more

Great gorditas... very authentic and yum!!! Ate lunch here with my sis and she absolutely loved the queso gorditas!!! read more

I used to come here with my family but the last time was a really bad experience , portions are very small I don't eat a lot but this was really SMALL I ate "costilla de puerco"and I only received 3 or 4 small pieces , i paid full price for this not special hour so I don't know why they do that , my sister asked for "milanesa " and was the same thing very disappointed read more

Gorditas Aguascalientes - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Been coming here for many years for breakfast. love the chilaquiles here. always get the same server she is always very nice and checking if every thing is ok. I went again this monday, got a new server. Chewing gum, long yellow nails and being on her cellphone. she goes over to the counter where the chips are and grabs some chips with her bare hands after being on her phone.The crew needs to be retrained about working with food. Never going back! wonder how they handle the food when customers are not looking! read more

I used to come here when I was younger and through out the years still do food was delicious I just went there again Saturday and I was surprised how the food's taste wasn't good they didn't even have jalapeño vinegar the hot sauce they have is terrible and the aguas frescas was a mess on taste most likely it's new management since everything seemed so different read more

The name is tough to say, but eat here once and you'll be an expert...you'll keep recommending it to everybody! These people do not mess around. This is serious Mexican food. Not Tex-Mex, it's M-E-X-I-C-A-N. There's a big difference, people! Gorditas are good, tacos are great, and sopes are excellent. If you're reasonably hungry, just two of these items a la carte will fill you up. The ambiance is definitely "authentic" and the staff is friendly & helpful. Speaking of help, it also helps to have a native Spanish speaker with you when you order. The waitstaff speaks limited English (if at all sometimes). The place is packed at lunch, but it's more fun that way. Just remember that if you're going back to the office after eating here, you're going to have to fight off a serious food coma. read more

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD This place makes a meaaaaaaaaaannnn gordita. Stuff it with frijoles, carne asada, y queso and you're in food heaven. Only in this area will you find this kind of fresh, mexican food that's not some anglo imitation. The staff doesn't really speak english too well as well but no worries, just point at what you want in the menu and they'll serve you correctly. However service could use work, they always seem to mess up our orders through the phone but I wouldn't worry if you're actually dining there, but still this is what kept this place from receiving a 5. read more

Let me start out by saying that the only reason I even tried this place was because of all the great reviews. But honestly I was very disappointed ;( The Sopes literally fell apart before I could get it in my mouth. The waitress was very nice but she forgot to bring my Gordita which is why I went to that restaurant to begin with. my son ordered the barbacoa tacos and he had the same issue with the tortilla falling apart before he could even take a bite out of it. Needless to say that he didn't eat the second taco after that. They had some musicians playing music,which the place is not big enough for all that noise to be going on while your trying to eat! Then some guy came in trying to sale cheap $1 perfumes for $20 while we're trying to eat as well. Overall it was an awful experience. Will definitely NOT be going back ever again. read more

Hmm. Maybe this is my fault since I didn't order a gordita (I ordered 3 tacos instead), but the food was just ok. I got barbacoa, al pastor, and a new one that I can't recall. Service was good. I did, however, learn what micheladas were: beer and hot sauce (and lime)! read more

Preface/background: I am now more focused on quality and am always looking for a great deal (read: value). Less meat, no more 2 Chipotle burrito eating. Authentic. Tasty. Cheap. The gorditas are good. It's nothing special, nothing too complicated, but what they do is good. Their beef gordita is so tasty. Well marinated but not too salty. Gorditas come served with a few shreds of lettuce and a small piece of tomato. Also got the beans and cheese and the cactus. Cactus was very tasty, almost like a salsa-y gordita. Also got the guac. Very high quality guac, but I could tell that if the avocados were a tiny bit fresher, it would've knocked it out of the park. Still though, the guac was really good. Service is very nice. Our waitress couldn't really speak much English but she brought someone over to help translate, which was cool. And they were really polite about it. People were kind - can't tell if that's a this-place thing or a Texas thing. But it was good. And when you get a dinner for around $13 for 3 gorditas and guac, you've gotta be a happy camper. Texas, once again, your Mexican food is da bomb. Not a 5 because I've had better (in Texas) but it's still a very SOLID 4. read more

As a person who grew up in Mexico I can tell you this place is really close to what you will find in a Mexican home, it's still not close to what my mom makes but I'd like to add my disclaimer: recipes do vary from family to family, from state to state so maybe I don't like some things but someone else could think they're good. God! Writing this is really bittersweet, I love some things and hate others... One reason I hate coming to this place is the restaurant itself is so small, it's been the same location for years and from what I see they don't plan on expanding even though there have been times were the spaces next to them were for sale and they never expanded! Weekend mornings are terrible, its PACKED and they usually lose customers because the place is so full that people have to wait outside. Oh! Also, the parking lot is terribly small for this place. They share parking lot with other businesses here and it's hard to find a spot specially during peak hours, weekend mornings, nights. I like their tacos but stay away from the barbacoa it's just there, not great not horrible, I think the quality of the meat is poor, the meat is really dark and the flavor is weird, tastes like meat has been dunk in fat, so I would steer away from that. I do not like their rajas because the pepper is not completely cooked which is usually done by roasting the peppers, seems like they don't want to take the time in roasting the peppers and it makes a HUGE difference in flavor and texture when doing so, I don't recommend the dishes that have rajas. Also, the sopes are ok if you're starving and never had sopes before. They put your choice of meat, lettuce and tomatoes. My number one reason to keep coming back to this place is their champurrado, I believe it's actually made with milk instead of water, which most places use (water based chapurrado is tasteless and not creamy at all, champurrado IMHO should be creamy!). Milk makes all the difference and this place has the winner! It's a little pricey but I don't mind paying extra because it's yummy! The gorditas are awesome, this is the only restaurant I know where you will get decent gorditas, the name says it all "Gorditas Aguascalientes".Usually the beans and cheese, nopales and mushrooms are great for gorditas, also the fajitas are pretty good, too. Overall I like this place because of the authenticity, consistent food (the few items I like, at least), friendly staff, the place is ran by nice people, I think it's a family business which is nice. read more

Go somewhere else. I've never been so disappointed to get my food. Gorditas were awful as well as the tacos. Everything was bland, tasteless and Favor delivery person said the restaurant was nasty. After attempting to finish it me and my bf both felt very sick. Never coming back. read more

The atmosphere is lively, clean, and hospitable. My ONLY complaint would be that the suite that the restaurant occupies is a little small, and that there is no parking on the strip mall when they're packed. Some of the issues that I mentioned on my last review still remain, but this is one of the few places in Houston where you can experience a little bit of the REAL DEAL regarding Mexican cuisine. read more

Gorditas Aguascalientes - The restaurant is decorated with a combination of traditional rustic Mexican decor and 1950's Diner Retro. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place has been a standby for me for many years. There are few places that go the distance and make their own corn tortillas. Gorditas Aquascalientas does, which makes a huge difference. My kids now demand chilaquiles and handmade tortillas are picked for breakfast every weekend, so they're growing up with this place as an essential part of their life. read more

Best mexican restaurant I have ever eaten at. The place looks odd, no one spoke english, furnishing reminds you of a zombie movie scene in one of those abandoned desert dinners. Food: Chile Reyano - The most amazing thing I ever had that originated south of the border. Beyond perfect, 10 starrs good. Must Try! If I ever learn spanish, and zombies starts marching down the streets, I'd hole out right here. read more

I took my friend here for the first time yesterday and after a bite of his food, he says, "This place is authentic... really, really authentic. But I kind of prefer the gooey melted cheese in my enchiladas." He let me try some of his dish and... we'll call it a difference of opinion. Though hands down, my favorite thing here is the guisado de puerco which are pork tips in a red stew. During lunch, it comes with refried beans and corn or flour tortillas. I'm normally not a fan of refried beans or corn tortillas but this place made me change my opinion on both accounts! read more

Very affordable and authentic Mexican food. Give it a try. Place was also very clean.
