Great food a little hidden gem. almost didn't want to write this review because I didn't want everyone finding out about this place and having to wait in a long line! But it's too good not to share. I definitely recommend it for the delicious food, great vibe, and affordable prices. Thank you for bringing such a great spot to my neighborhood! read more

I would give this place zero stars due to the poor service, management, and overall atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday and there was already a wait, which I normally don't mind. However, after we were seated, it took another 10 minutes just to receive menus--and only after I had to ask the manager because no one had come to assist us. Once the waitress finally took our drink and food orders, we waited nearly an hour for our meals. No one warned us that the food would take that long. Had we known, we would have gone somewhere else. We were actually preparing to leave after complaining when our food was finally brought out. The food was just okay. I ordered the Bruncheros, but the plantains were cold, and my mother's rice was also cold. To make matters worse, there was a large party seated across from us that appeared to be connected to the staff. They remained at the tables for a long time even though many customers were arriving and immediately leaving because no tables were available. That is simply bad for business. When I got up to pay, the manager gave me an unpleasant look--as if I were the problem for being disappointed with the service. Management should focus on running the restaurant better instead of making customers feel uncomfortable for raising legitimate concerns. This was one of the worst restaurant experiences we have had. It was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will also be our last. read more

The food was FANTASTIC. I loved the savory and sweet in this dish. The service was okay. The host and waitstaff were very kind, but our drinks stayed empty for quite some time before we had to prompt them for a refill. Looooooved the ambiance! The decor was so cute and a lot of the wait staff were dressed up for Halloween. I would definitely come here again! read more

Huasteca Mexican Grill - Huevos Motuleños - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

We ate here on a Sunday and they were packed. My wife and I always share and both plates were very good. My wife got the beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas with bell peppers and onions, all grilled to perfection, especially the shrimp. Her two plates also came with rice, pinto beans, guacamole and a sald and some pico de gallo. I enjoyed Tampiquena Nortena, a strip of grilled beef, an enchilada, rice, refried beans and guacamole and salad. They brought us some chips and a red and a green salsa. The red had some spicy heat to it, i liked it, the green was flavorful and milder. The prices are a little cheaper than some of our favorite places and the food is almost as good. read more

Food is very authentic Huasteca style Mexican. Service is good but you go here for the authentic food.

Fast and attentive service. Small establishment with a family ambiance. The food we ordered would all be considered TexMex. They brought out warm chips with the two different dipping choices. One was a green sauce which had a nice cool kick. The other had a creamy texture and was a carrot orange color...not sure what it was but i really liked it. It had to grow on me but once it did, I enjoyed it. Needed salt though. My husband did not care for either one and he normally eats a red sauce with his chips and entree. I ordered mini tacos with shrimp. They had grilled onions and fresh cilantro. The shrimp was very tiny salad shrimp. Not a lot of flavor but okay. Hubby ordered ground beef chimichanga with rice and beans. We didn't try the beans and the rice was bland. Overall it wasn't bad just okay. read more

It was our first time and we love it! Cute decor. Friendly service. Good variety of dishes. Fresh tasting chips with green tomatillo and red salsa. Feels authentic. Definitely will be back to try other dishes. We had quesadilla pastor, mixed enchiladas Tex Mex, and chicken enchiladas. All were delicious and comforting. read more

Vera Cruz in Houston! That's really all you need to know. This place is absolute fire. I only wish they hadn't taken the big molcajete full of seafood away. They have amazing al pastor. Their agua frescas are really good too. Service is amazing and the waitresses go out of their way to help you order if you don't know what everything is. read more

A hidden gem, right off 59 and west Belfort. Amazing food the closest I've had to authentic for this being a taqueria its worth the visit. The staff is friendly the location is fairly small but they have ample seating. The food tastes great I've gone back twice for those red chilaquiles since this post went up. I'll be coming back here whenever I can for sure. read more

Great molcajete, enough for two meals. A little bit limited on access for the disabled though (had to use a car to get onto the curb in front of the restaurant). read more

The food is so good and such big portions for the price! The food is made fresh and the restaurant is so clean.

Good food. Hot fresh. Made right there. Fantastic. Always think of them and the nice times i have there. Fajitas are the best ever. read more

I love this place! Breakfast tacos are good, best ones compared to most breakfast tacos in the area. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff are friendly. read more

At my most recent visit which was on a Friday evening. I was there early and the place had a few customers. The food I ordered was good and flavorful. The rice was fluffy, the beans were very good and creamy. The dish I ordered had steak, onion, tomato, peppers it was really good. The steak was juicy. I almost ate the whole bowl of chips the salsa was so good. They only had the red salsa. I ordered the tea and it was good and tasted fresh. I was impressed. I would definitely come here again if I'm in the area. They need to work on their customer service/hosting. I didn't feel welcomed when I walked in. I think because they knew English was going to be required. read more

Had enchiladas huastecas. Was just like I had in Río Verde, Mexico last year. Only difference was the meat was seasoned more like fajitas instead of the slight vinegar-cured taste of cesina meat in Mexico. read more

Wonderful place good investment friendly people and the food is excellent. I had the Molcajete very tasty and plenty of food. You will not be disappointed read more

Not good at all. Absolutely the worst Mexican food I have ever had. Anyone who thinks this is good has obviously not eaten anything good in their life, I'm sorry. This place would be closed in less than a month if it even tried to open up in my area. Please, please do not think this is what Mexican food tastes like. This is awful. read more

Alcoholic drinks are awful! The waitress don't know how to make anything that you order from the bar, Gnats! Everywhere! I'm eating and drinking and those gnats are just around you, 2 young waitress eating tacos at the bar area and one of them called Mary had a plate of food on the hand and took a sip of an orange soda and then went to leave the plate at a table she was serving, I've been a waitress for years and that's a no no. read more

Went for late lunch around 1:30 pm on a weekday. There were still a few customers, and few more came in as we ate. We enjoyed the chips & red salsa (they didn't bring out green, which is a good thing, after just reading earlier reviews). We ordered a burrito supreme, gorditas with chicken, and tacos with fajita chicken. All were good, esp the homemade flour tortillas. Didn't know they can do wheat till I just read an old review, so next time we may ask for it. Last time, husband came by himself and had a lunch special, which he said was good. Their sign says Eat Cheap, which is true! read more

The food was average but good. I originally came for the .99 cent margarita happy hour advertisement which was misleading because the picture in the advertisement is not the same size as when you get it in the restaurant. Just a trap to get you in the door #BEWARE read more

Huasteca Mexican Grill - Not The Same One As In The Advertisement. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

This restaurant has a genuine Mexican atmosphere. I've had the enchiladas and parrilladas here. Order the parrilladas! They come with tortillas and you can build your own tacos. At least that's what I do. They don't charge you extra for avocado either so you can put that in your taco. I make like 5 tacos out of one parrillada order. If you have an appetite and looking for a place that's not going to break the bank, this is it. Hope you enjoy like I did read more

First off, their menu was in Spanish. I honestly don't have a problem with that, as long as the staff can explain what exactly each thing on the menu is or contains. I really didn't know what to order and ended up just getting breakfast tacos. We ordered margaritas which honestly were far from fantastic. I got the bacon and egg breakfast on flour tacos. I really didn't enjoy my meal and the guacamole we requested with our chips was very tasteless. Our food came out really quickly though. I definitely will not be returning here. read more

Huasteca Mexican Grill - Guacamole. Very tasteless. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love the "Desayuno Huasteco". Staff is very friendly. My favorite Mexican place to take a breakfast

My friend and I just tried this place for the first time after having a couple drinks. We split the beef and chicken fajitas for two. It was really delicious. I liked everything.. the meat, beans, salsa. I had a mango frozen margarita which was good too. I'd definitely go back. We had quite a bit of food and each took a box of leftovers. read more

I really enjoy this place but today for lunch, 9/8/17, I ordered a Torta de Milanessa. Its supposed to come with beans, lettuce, sour cream and avocado. I got one tiny sliver of avocado on one half of the Torta. I showed the waitress and she said the Chef had put it on there and that was all I was getting. If you're going to charge somebody $7 with tax for a Torta you better put everything on it. I won't be ordering this again and probably won't come back a while. Absolute rip off. read more

I've been there several times, Always at nights, every time i go is only a few tables occupied, food is ok, i like the home made tortillas and el caldo de res, they have good breakfast and they served good portions, you wont leave hungry, the staff isn't bad, the only thing is that sometimes they are rude. Other than that I don't have any complaint, you can give it a try if you like home made Mexican food !! read more

Love love loveeeee this place, I've literally been coming here since I was little and I can't and won't complain about the food. I enjoy the variety and well the food itself is very delicious, they even have whole wheat tortillas/tortillas de trigo, sometimes. I also love how the waitress are, they like joking around as if your family or old friends and if you go often enough y'all can talk about anything, I'm sure haha, it's also very adorable when they try to speak English with you, some can speak English with you, others will simply try. I also love how the boss is, Maria, she helps out serving and taking orders when the waitresses need help, and she's so kind and caring. I love how they stay open later than most authentic Mexican restaurants (great for when you're done partying or are just hungry at an unreasonable time haha). Yeah, some of the food seems pricey, but heck, it's worth it. Also, if your food is under $10 or $5 (I forget), they charge a 50¢/$0.50 fee, so take cash or don't complain about it. Please remember to tip the waitresses well and if your order ever comes out wrong don't be so rude about it, kindly explain because hello, they didn't cook the food, so just don't get frustrated, and if you feel like they don't understand, help them. Have a great day y'all, hope y'all go check this place out!! :) read more

I've been to this restaurant twice. I don't go back for the fancy ambiance, I went back for the really good chicken enchiladas (green), the friendly service, and really good chips & salsa. Guacamole was very good, just added some salt & It was great. HOMEMADE FLOUR TORTILLAS!! Asked for one or two more, no problem! Brought them out immediately. I will be going back for some more great-tasting food. These folks know how to cool some great dishes. read more

Horrible horrible phone service as well as over all customer service, I also ordered something very simple over the phone so that it could be ready by the time I got there because I know they take forever with their food and it managed to take them 40 minutes. Food is okay but if you want to eat quick or for the staff to even be nice, don't go here. read more

Save your time and money because this place is AWFUL. I stopped in for dinner with my mom, as we are connoisseurs on Mexican food. There were only 4 other people in there so we took a seat and each ordered a margarita and an order of queso. Once our drinks and appetizer finally arrived, the queso was luke warm at best and the margaritas had no taste of any alcohol in them. Our server could not even confirm if their margaritas even have tequila in them! We ordered food and after waiting 30+ minutes, one would at least expect it to be hot. Unfortunately it was far from being warm. The cheese on the enchiladas was barely melted and the fajita beef was flavorless. Our server asked how the food was and we told her it was cold and tasteless. She merely shrugged her shoulders and mumbled 'yeah'. After asking for the bill multiple times, we received it and discovered the terrible ritas were $7 EACH. Had the service been even remotely decent, I would have gladly tipped but I couldn't even bring myself to leave one dollar. Needless to say, we will NEVER return and will be sharing our experience with friends, family and social media. read more

So the lady that took our order took forever to arrive with our drinks, about 10 minutes. After dropping off the drinks, she took our order and then proceeded to forget to ring it in. After waiting for about 30 minutes without any service the "manager" came to the table and offered us some shitty queso that tasted like plastic. When we got our food, the rice was bland and my girlfriend received the wrong order. While we were eating a meal, not one person, not even the waiter stopped by to refill our drinks. We had to ask the manager. When we disappointedly asked for our check, there was a $10 automatic gratuity added to the bill. I'm a waiter myself so I wouldn't normally mind, but the service here was crap and she honestly did not deserve anything. Never coming back to this place and you shouldn't waste your time and hard earned money either. There are better Mexican restaurants out there. read more

Tried their huasteca enchiladas and they were delicious. Had lots of flavor and was spicy, which I love ! Will come back again

If you aren't going to stay open til 2 then don't advertise that you are. Went at 12 and the door was locked and the woman in side just ignored us. read more

I was driving by on my way to the Houston Downtown Area. As it is located right on the feeder road of Hwy 59, I figured i would stop by for a quick bite. The food was HORRIFIC and the place also has a ROACH problem! Upon receiving my chips & salsa i noticed the chips were STALED and cold as if they had been refrigerated for days. To top it off there was also a strand of HAIR i found on them!! This place needs to be SHUT DOWN by the FDA! I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Not to mention when I reported the issue, I was screamed at by the manager and told if I did not leave the premises she would call the police. Who does that?! read more
