Enchiladas Holbox Quesabirria
Jazmine F.

La Chingada was 10/10!!! I got the chicken enchiladas and spicy pineapple marg both were so flavorful and delicious My bf got the quesabirria w/ a michelada and he LOVED it We also got the queso fundido which was INSANE Finished off with a coffee (sweet cinnamon) and pan dulce which was amazing!! Service was the besttt, would def recommend and will be coming back asap!! :)

Chicken fajita, steak fajita, grilled shrimp

This is a review from someone who doesn't care about aesthetics or fancy decorations for your social media posts, just a straight big party fajita catering dinner for a family celebration. Scroll down if you just want the summary. I was looking for a private room for about 20 people last minute in December and every restaurant in Houston was either booked or wanted to charge x amount with a # of guests!! Glad someone recommended this place because when I called my first impression with Wendy was a relief. She explained the party room, the food options, and even offered to make us a fresh tres leches cake [we regret this :(] all descriptions and options were clearly explained. Loved that we booked the reservation during their Happy hour and we could take advantage of the drinks and Wendy came out announcing last call for HH. The day of: our party room was ready and set up. Loved they even made a sign and balloons for the occasion (sad I didn't have pictures) Our drink orders were taken right away and chips/ salsa and black beans were brought out. My 8 year old son loved the black beans with chips! That was a huge hit for the kids! Wendy stayed on top of our table and brought the food: Fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp came out in the sizzling hot plate, and smelled amazing. We could have split each plate with two people but everyone had leftovers from their plate. I asked for both flour and corn tortillas and they really were hard to pick which one to eat as they were both really good! They were able to put Tajín on the rim for my margarita and that was one of the best margaritas I've had I asked for another one. As people were done they cleared the table which that is a plus. I loved Wendy and several other servers were super helpful taking care of us and the communication among them was top tier. Every guest complimented the fajitas were really good and look forward to order for the holiday office parties. I only have a picture of the leftover food we had and it was a lot!!! I know next time I have a big party I will contact this restaurant first to host it. This is a true hidden gem in Houston! Food: HUGE portion of Grilled chicken, fajita steak, shrimp: 5/5 Homemade tortillas: tried both 5/5 Restroom: small but clean 5/5 Margaritas: On point 5/5 Jamaica water: personally I'm not a super sweet drink person 4/5 Hospitality (server Wendy): 5/5 Lots of communication and very friendly Party Back room: Private and secluded 5/5 (loved we could hear the ourselves and some music and the A/C was blowing hard but we asked to be controlled) Price: Very reasonable for the amount of food 5/5

Authentic Mexican food. They make their own corn tortillas! Mole and cochinita pibil Yucatán style is my favorite. Service was great as well.

Pambazo

Updating my review as I decided to give it a second chance... & I'm sooo glad I did. It was such a great experience compared to the first time. The waitress recommended the nachos & OMG so tender and delicious. MUST TRY!! The Mole was really good, tasted like homemade mole (not saying it's not I just can't confirm) but really good. The Pambazo was delicious! A big portion and dipped perfectly. I TRULY TRULY like the beans with chips as a free appetizer.. different & I enjoyed them. The young lady, was super helpful. I can't remember name but she was really nice & attentive. Will DEFF be returning! Glad changes were made!

Food was good at La Chingada. I had enmoladas, which I normally don't like mole but they let me try some before I ordered it and it was good. Food came out quickly and at a good temperature. Service was friendly and quick. The restaurant was clean and lively. It is a good spot close to my job. Will definitely be back to try something else.

Food was amazing and service was great! I had the cochinita pibil with hand made corn tortillas. We will be returning.

Chilaquiles Y Huevo Revuelto

Great Food , Great Service & A Special Shoutout To Our Server Diego , Always So Attentive To Our Requests ((:

Jessica N.

My co worker and I love trying to new places for lunch. She past by here and said she wanted to try it and we did and got sad because it wasn't as good as we expected it to be. Now i know they are new so that could also be it. But it's from another part of mexico I believe. I tried ordering the pastor taco meal but couldn't substitute it for steak which was weird. So i order three ala carte beef tacos and they were okay, the corn tortilla was bigger than usual. The hot sauces they provided were hot, but the green one had flavor. This was 6/10 for me. Hopefully it will better

Exterior
Eric H.

Wanted to check out this new place near work with some coworkers. The exterior is the repurposed IHOP and the interior still has some hints of the old pancake hut but they are well on their way to adding their charm. The staff were all very nice and attentive to our table and the others. I ordered my favorite meal of quesobirria and the presentation was beautiful. The flavor was good and the consume really kicked up the overall meal. I think in a few months this place will be packed as they have the good pricing, good parking and great lunch selections.

Agua fresca was good. Food was not homemade or fresh the chicken on my chilaquiles was horrible. It tasted like precooked frozen chicken absolutely gross. On top of that some of what we ordered never even made it to our table and we were still charged for it I had to let them know to remove the items.

I came and try this place out on my lunch break and I got the quesabirrias and it was amazing my server axel was super friendly and amazing the name was super cool definitely going to come back and recommend to everyone

Enchiladas Holbox en salsa roja
Adolfo G.

I was excited to check this place out. I wasn't disappointed. The staff was friendly and they all greeted us. We were served chips salsa and a side of black bean dip, which was different but good. I had the enchiladas holbox(seafood enchiladas) en salsa roja. I enjoyed my food and the limonada too. The Chile con Queso was also good. The only things I didn't like too much was 1) the table salsa wasn't spicy at all. I need spice with my food. 2) it was a bit pricey for Mexican food but not too bad. All in all , I will be back to try more of their menu.

See all

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the flavorful Mexican food, generous portions, and good margaritas. Service is often friendly.

Our server was super friendly and kept things moving. Free chips and salsa to start. The chips came out warm and crunchy, with a red and a green salsa. Easy way to kick off the meal. I got the enchiladas suizas. Packed with chicken and cheese, and the salsa verde on top gave it a nice bit of tang that kept it from feeling heavy. Solid Tex-Mex. Didn't disappoint.

As there is not a location near me any longer, we traveled to the original location. It was bustling with an attentive waitstaff and lots of people watching. Complementary valet (of course we tip) is a great benefit as parking is slim. Our waitress was Kady. She's been there for 50 years! Talk about an original. She was attentive to our needs but all business. We started with guacamole and queso. Guac was a huge portion with all the add ins. Queso was delish and served with fried flour tortillas (my fav). The gratis green dip, red sauce, and thick, crisp chips were on par. The fajitas. Just so so. Honestly, it reminded me of Taco Cabana. Very disappointing. Very little flavor and tough. The rice was yucky, the refried beans were the worst! Reminded us of the frito lay bean dip in a can. Even the Borracho beans were bad. HEB's in the can are far better. We received 2 corn and 2 flour tortillas. Fajitas served with pico, guac, sour-sour cream (I didn't even like that). Iced tea was fair. All in all, Fajitas very disappointing. If we had not been on the best fajita quest, I most likely would have ordered the chicken caldo soup. That never disappoints.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

The world is full of Mexican restaurants…read more Most are some version of Tex-Mex in a family-friendly, relatively similar environment. Nothing wrong with that. Mexican Sugar breaks that mold completely. This is the most legit, wonderful, bougie, over-the-top Mexican restaurant I have ever been to, and I mean that as the highest compliment possible. This was my second trip to Mexican Sugar. The first was in Grapevine. After this visit to the Montrose location, I have officially decided that when I am in Texas, I will seek these places out. They are that good. First, dress up. I doubt there is an actual dress code, but this is not the place where I am showing up looking like I just finished mowing the yard. Come here to be seen. Come here to show out a little. The place is beautiful and has that kind of vibe. Second, the drinks. Hell yes. Fancy, creative, excellent, and impressive enough for even the person who has seen every ridiculous cocktail presentation imaginable. And then there is the food. My God, the food. The salsa and queso are legit AF. The street corn is heaven in a bowl. Get several orders. I am serious. One is not enough. The carne asada was amazing. Honestly, I could keep going, but at some point this review is just going to become me yelling about how much I love Mexican Sugar. I LOVE MEXICAN SUGAR. OK, YOU GET THE IDEA. WHY AM I YELLING? BACK TO THE REVIEW.... Service was excellent too. The place is huge and was absolutely packed, but our server stayed attentive and the food came out surprisingly quickly. Make a reservation. Park in the nearby garage. Dress nice. Order the drinks. Get the street corn. Then get more street corn. Who is ready for another trip to Houston? I'll book the reservation at Mexican Sugar.

Honestly I am fairly disappointed in this place as I had been anticipating it for the longest time…read more I was able to snag reservations about 1 month in advance for a Saturday dinner. The restaurant is located in a quiet area in West University with a good amount of street parking. The restaurant itself is decorated with a lot of character and personality and they have seating inside and outside on their covered patio. Don't get me wrong, the service here is amazing. The servers are very attentive, and I appreciate the chefs coming out to explain their dish. However, the dishes themselves were basic and lacked specialty. My boyfriend and I got the Chef's Tasting Menu. I got the drink pairing. As a Chef's tasting menu, I would expect the restaurants' most precious meals. The short rib was dry and the rest of the other dishes were unmemorable. The only dish that truly caught my eye was their Tres Leches, but this was given on the house as it was our anniversary. The drink pairing I got was well worth and all of the drinks were flavorful and paired well. Overall, I'd hope that their chef's tasting menu would improve as they rotate their dishes. I would try to come back to give it another chance.
