    Caldo De Res
    Adena M.

    I visited La Concina de Roberto with plenty suprised by it. I ordered the Caldo De Res whcih was full of flavor and rich broth that I completely finished. My friend ordered the fajita burrito bowl which was equally appetizing to my Caldo. It was full of fresh ingredients that created a perfect bowl especially for a post workout meal. Overrall the food was near perfect being the holy complaint was my beef in my Caldo. Wishing for it to be tender it was rather bland and dry. Highly appreciate the staff for welcoming else into a very safe and family life environment inside with very nice restrooms.

    Such a great place! If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is it! I can safely say this is my Latin husband's favorite place to eat in The Woodlands! Quick great service, and a bright cheery dining area. All of the tacos are excellent! And the chips and salsa, (even tho they charge and that's a pet peeve of mine that I don't like) are so delicious. Otherwise, I would give 5 stars! Wonderful place!

    We went a tad crazy for lunch and ordered a ton. Street tacos: Al pastor, carne asada, barbacoa Fried plantains and crema Flan Tortas Al pastor Gorditas carnitas Everything hit the spot. Order took a while to make. I might forgo the sandwich next time since it was on the heavy side.

    Today the guacamole had no flavor and the carne asada tacos were not as good as they usually are and the service was quick when taking our order but the waitress never came back to refill our drinks or give us our check. We had to call them over to get our bill. Overall, it wasn't the best today.

    Chips and Queso
    Alonso T.

    10/10! This Central American restaurant is one of our favorite restaurants!! Forget Tex mex- this is the real deal. We drive 40 minutes just come here and it's well worth it. They have aguas frescas, menudo / Pazole of the weekend, Gorditas with authentic asado queso, and for dessert (listed as a side), order the fried plantains with Greek yogurt. Servers are always very friendly and can help you choose if you are unsure what you want. For ambiance - it's high quality food but a casual environment with very affordable pricing. I come for personal reasons and take clients here for lunch.

    Birria Tacos (3)
    John B.

    First time here, and it was delicious. Couldn't decide between quesabirra tacos or street tacos...so I got both Both options were good. The Birria tacos tasted great and the consommé was good as well. I ordered the a la carte tacos. They were BIG. Worth the price. Chips and salsa are extra but the chips were very good and fresh. The service was prompt and friendly. The food came out very fast, which is always nice. The restaurant is small, and has a small bar for 4 people. They are about 75% full tonight, so there was no wait for a table. Great place to pull over for some food to wait out traffic.

    Posole
    Jackie G.

    Was craving posole and thankfully they still had some 11 am. In the past they had run out quick. The waitress was nice and fast. Since we showed up right before their breakfast was ending, the place was packed. We had to wait around 10 minutes for a table. But it was worth the wait because the posole was real yummy. The broth was rich and it had a lot of big chunks of meat too.

    a bowl of chips and a bowl of sauce

    She shoots and she SCORES!!!! Lol What a pleasant surprise! This place has fast food speed with 5 star quality and service! The owner really knows what they are doing! Let's take a moment to applaud the owner and wonderful staff members! Amazing! Food was fresh and came out in a blink of an eye! Like did you just pull that from your back pocket? lol Restaurant was nice and clean. It's not very large and the parking lot is very small. However, the strategy of getting the food out fast allows for customers to be served quickly so that they are in and out! Fast service without jeopardizing the quality and customer experience? That my friend is genius! I see what you did ;-) Ohhhh don't forget to grab an Agua Fresca- Ask for half Jamaica and half Limon, oh so good! I WILL be frequenting this spot!!

    Vegetarian torta
    Vinh N.

    This was a delicious unexpected find while driving on the highway through the Woodlands. Had the best vegetarian torta which went beyond the usual accompaniments without the meat by featuring portobello mushrooms. The stir-fried portabello were not too oily. Service was quick enough that I can see this as a popular lunch option in the area. The restaurant was full on a Wednesday even before noon. Prices were reasonable. Parking is somewhat limited, and I think is shared with a granite counter store next door.

    Pastor Quesdilla

    I ordered this using Uber eats. I contacted the restaurant to let them know that the quesadillas were so oily that I had to throw them away. The manager told the lady on the phone with me that they could not send me something different. (I suggested maybe the chicken quesadilla and let her know how oily their pork was, which is what the pastor is made of) the manager said that they could give me a code for a coupon to get chips and queso. Really? My kitchen was under construction, so that's why I had to order something to be delivered and all they could offer was a coupon for a future purchase. I am so disappointed as I've been going to this restaurant since they opened. I don't believe that I'll be ordering from them again.

    Gordita perfection.

    Following the reviews on Yelp, we gave it a try. The margaritas were good. The fajitas went home to the dog.

    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!!
