El Salvadorian enchiladas

Family owned businesses that's clean and affordable. Food was quite Tasty. Friendly service and quick. I'd go back. The meal below was only $11!!

Joan N.

It's been a few years since we last came and today we finally got the chance to visit Galveston and thought about checking them out again. First of, for a Saturday evening, we were kind of expecting that it will be crowded like it used to. But no, there was one other customer and she had hers to-go.. I thought well maybe this is just a slow night so we went ahead and ask for the menu. A young girl was at the front and she asked if we're new to Henry's and I said no . I asked if there's new ownership and she said no they are the grandkids and the grandma used to run the business. My husband went for the usual tostadas. I noticed they had a new item on the menu that I used to not see before which was the Menudo. And I went ahead and ordered that. The boys ordered a chicken fried steak sandwich and a chicken quesadilla. The tostadas are NOTHING like the pictures I posted originally. Tostadas were smaller, the beef tasted super salty. The rice that came with it barely has any flavor. The refried beans tasted like it just came from a can. The signature white sauce was also nowhere to be found. Husband asked for it and they said they don't have it. As for the menudo, while the meats were just right (not too hard or too tender), the broth is so bland. My hungry boys ate what they had but wasn't too impressed either. With grandma out of the picture, it's evident the quality of the food has also gone out the window. Overall, a HUGE disappointment. It's so bad I don't think we're ever coming back again.

Migas and a side of carne guisada.
Gary M.

Huge burritos, great service, delicious food. The surprise burrito is definitely filling. Today I had their migas (~$7) and a side of carne guisada (~$7). The migas were very good but I didn't see an option to add onion, tomatoes, and peppers. So they came plain, I added cheese. I was not disappointed but expected the veggies. No biggie. The carne guisada was a little different than TexMex carne guisada. This was more like a beef stew with carrots and I think yucca (it didn't seem like potato). The meat was extremely tender. It's a great local place and the service is excellent . Can't wait to try more from this place.

NO STANDARDS

This is pretty fucked up how the quesadillas were just placed in this small ass container for it to just get saggy and sloppy.

It's an older establishment - nothing to look at for ambience inside or out. The locals to the area had the place 80% full at lunch hour. Prices were very low .. in the $5 to $10 range. Counter service was excellent. Menu variety was huge - Mexican, American, El Salvadoran. Tostada was large and good. Chorizo with eggs was good. For what it is ... it's successful. Good for them!

Pork papusa
Stephanie W.

Don't miss out on an amazing local dining experience by passing by Henry's! It may not look like much, as a big orange/yellow drive thru building off Broadway, but holy moly the food is insane! I've never had a bad meal, or bad customer service and I've been dining here for over a decade. My husband has sworn that the burger here is the best he's ever had and has eaten them since he was in college at TAMUG. Todays review is about the burger, el savadorian enchiladas, and the heavenly papusa. Seriously the pork papusa is magical. Hands down the star of the show!!! The street tacos and enchiladas are always good too! All of the employees are so friendly and welcoming with big smiles and southern hospitality.

Pupusa with pork chicken quesadillas and chips with guacamole

We just tried this place and it was super delicious, had amazing service and everything was very fresh. Prices for the authentic mom and pop experience are incredible and I will be going back to try the burritos! We got the pupusa with pork and the chicken quesadillas. We also got a side of chips and guac and they gave us chips so hot and fresh that they burned my finger on the drive home!!! Incredible!!! Also the guac serving was huge!! Definitely go here!!!

The surprise burrito is by far the best deal on the island for a breakfast burrito. Always fresh and always quick.

I love Henry's. It's solid, the drive thru is open late and the pupusas are awesome. This is a locals spot. Make no mistake about it.

Hands down one of the best meals we have ever had. We are from Houston as well as in the restaurant…read morebusiness. We are admittedly food snobs. our meal from start to finish was nothing short of spectacular. We highly recommend starting with the CRAB STUFFED SHRIMP, (yum). The WEDGE (get a half!) is so good and fresh (I had no blue cheese, substituted with ranch). The WHITE (loaded chowder) and the JOBBER (loaded gumbo) were totally delectable. They both came with crispy garlic bread. THEN, even though we didn't need it, we shared the CRUISER LINGUINI (linguini with clams, bacon, white wine sauce, tomatoes, leeks) seriously totally to die for. We counted at least 30 little neck clams. We could have rolled out the door by now, but nooo... we had to have dessert. We chose the Crème Brûlée Trio. The selections are seasonal. Tonight was coconut, tres leches, and pecan. Of course we added cappuccino and Baileys. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Our server, Misty was a delight. We WILL be back!!

This was a fantastic meal. We had some recommendations from people on the plane with us and we also…read morehad some recommendations from our Uber driver, but ultimately we needed to find a restaurant that had available reservations for the evening. We made an 8:00 reservation and then we're running late and called to let them know. They had no issues when we arrived even though it was 20 minutes late. The restaurant was smaller than I expected but very nice and when we arrived we were among the last tables to be seated for the evening. The servers were fantastic, and especially our server, Haley, who took care of all of our needs. She kept our water glasses full, kept checking on us and took care of all of our dinner needs. My mother and I started with the chowder and house salad. We then ordered our meal and my mother had the Cedar Plank Salmon and I had the Blvd seafood sampler with Redfish, shrimp and scallops and both of our meals were outstanding. The seafood chowder, even just a cup was huge with tons of seafood, so much so I was wondering if I'd be able to eat my meal. It was filling but I devoured the seafood and found that I love Redfish! Yvonne came over mid meal to check on us. I presume she was a manager. Blvd is an outstanding and reasonable restaurant and I highly recommend that you check it out if you are in the area or coming to Galveston for a cruise. I look forward to returning in the future.

Cutting across Texas to New Orleans, I knew we would be skimming the shore of the Gulf of Mexico…read more Shut up. My review, I can call it what I want. That being said, it had been some time since I've gotten some proper fish-n-chips. I had to remedy that. Especially since the BBQ fiasco the other day, I was going to go on a hunger strike, but once I made the sign, I got potato chip fingers on it and started to eat it. So, I decided to fight fire with fire, and figured I would eat myself happy again. Which I'm never mad about. Sometimes I make myself angry just so I can eat myself happy. And now, the rest of the story. I have learned that I enjoy Cod fish for my fish-n-chips. And I think also Haddock. I am not a fisher nor a fish. So it's hard for me to say. But I know Cod is one for sure. I also sometimes have baby mouth and am afraid of new things. I do know I love my fish battered and deep fried. I also know that Shark Shack had good reviews for their fish, so, that was all I needed to hear. Plus, it was a perfect little eatery with bar seating, table seating, and gifts! So you can bet your bottom dollar tomorrow I ordered the English fish-n-chips. Boy oh boy. Just like how Britain colonized all those countries back when it was the cool thing to do, these fish and chips colonized my taste buds. Respectfully. This plate came with FIVE logs of fish. FIVE! Maybe they were tubes of fish? Honestly, I don't care what shape they came in, they looked perfectly crunchy and perfectly brown and perfectly fish. The super cool extra bonus? These fish came with CRISPIES! I've only ever seen crisps with fish from Long John Silvers, whose fish is probably as far from Cod or Haddock as legally possible. I actually think one of my pieces of fish from there had shoelaces. Didn't matter. Still ate it. Respectfully. (If you aren't privileged enough to know what fish crispies are, there little batter pieces that fry or fall off the fish as they cook. Basically little crumblies. If you make a wish over a fork of them and get the forkful in your mouth without dropping any, your wish will come true). Homemade tartar sauce was good, but there was a certain flavor profile that I wasn't a fan of. It was still good to use on the fish rods, it just tasted a little too much out of the tartar sauce field for me. The meal was wrapped up nice and tight with lovely square-cut fries. Perfect doneness. Perfect Ketchup vessel. I could just stare at a pile of them all night. Mostly because I'm weird. Perfect Fish Capsules: 12/10 Ideal Fry Sticks: 12/10 Times I Would Re-visit: Infinite

Why 5 stars? Because this might be my new favorite restaurant in Galveston…read more --- --- --- We had been in Galveston for a couple of days, and while we had some solid meals, we were feeling kind of gross and overstuffed. Fish Company Taco proved to be like finding water in the desert. A lot of Galveston eateries are very similar, in that there's an ample amount of fried seafood on the menu, which is not exactly what you're looking for when you're in the bloated, but wanting to eat *something* state that we were in. My thought was: fish tacos are relatively light and we can walk there from our hotel - how do you beat that? What I didn't realize is that this place probably belongs more in the Heights than Galveston. And I mean that in a good way. The menu is very hipster-coded. And the food matches with hipster quality. It's hard to say what my favorite item even was. The one thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the fish dip - it was just okay. Everything else ranged from good to great. We tried... The burger: FYI, it's more like a double stacked slider than a burger, but delicious. 3 Tacos: Dirty South, Empire and Korean Flavors. I really liked the empire and the korean flavors, but thought the dirty south had a little too much going on with the pimento cheese and chips. Sticky Shrimp: I don't even know how to describe this, but it was delicious. I thought it as more like bang bang shrimp, but it was more fried that I expected. But not hardcore fried - they almost had the airy texture of fried pork skins, but were much tastier. Chili marinated Cucumbers and corn ribs: Simple, refreshing and addicting. But I liked the cucumbers a bit more. They also had some fresh juices and we enjoyed both the mango and the coconut lime concoctions. An easy 5-stars for me and a place I will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Galveston.

The food was decent, but the service was good. I tried the Captain Johnny it was crispy and…read moresatisfying, especially with a side of fries. The Vietnamese taco stood out the most for me, while the Baja and Korean flavors were just okay, not really my favorites. Overall, it's a chill spot with a relaxed vibe and not too crowded. I'd recommend coming during happy hour to get the best experience.
