    Service is so nice, but we came for the food! not sure that I would come again just because there are so many competitors. Enchiladas were a solid 5 on a scale of 10. NOT my favorite. Ambiance is classic, clean, quiet and modern. But food needs a BIG Hand to be full blown Tex Mex

    3 small beef fajita

    I won't go back to this place anymore. I ordered and spent close to $100.00, including a $5.00 tip. I was disappointed when I got home. I ordered 2 combo fajitas. One is chicken and the other beef along with shrimp. It has only 3 big shrimp and 3 small pieces of meat. It has a size of 2 1/2 inches and not even thick meat. They are very stingy on portions of the food and at almost the same price as another Mexican restaurant and nachos don't have tomatoes, sour cream and other toppings, only melted cheese and very little ground beef. I should went to Gringo's, Alicia's, Viva Mariscos or other Mexican restaurants instead. It gives more food than the money I paid. I went to this place because of the good reviews, and not too far from where I live, I am not coming back.

    Take out bill

    Isela was able to make it right. I appreciate the business fixing the mistake. I understand there was technical difficulties with the inkind menu which they didn't offer any birria

    Combo plate, beef fajita tacos and queso

    Went in on Saturday and enjoyed a great meal, we had the combo plate and and beef fajita tacos, all good. The queso was the best we've had in awhile. The service was really friendly and they were on top of everything.

    Tried this place today for lunch. It's newly opened and getting a fresh start. The food, the drinks and the service were all great. I recommend this place and will definitely come back again. Probably try the evening meal next time. We got the Raulito's Special, Chili Rellano w/cheese, Tamale and House Margaritas. Jesus was our waiter and did a great job. He was attentive to take care of us but not overbearing and provided us our space as we enjoyed our meal.

    Fast service and delicious drinks. The margarita flight was my favorite. Their cheese is the best I've tried.

    Great service and good food. Their margarita flight was my favorite. They have the best cheese in town too.

    I must be the last person in Katy , Texas to dined here. In point of fact, it may have been here…read morelonger than half the subdivisions, but with good reason. The food, the ambience, and the service are all outstanding. We went for Cinco de Mayo and the restaurant was packed however, from what I understand, it is often packed. Let's start with our server who was just wonderful. He not only guided us through the meal and the drinks, but he had very practical recommendations. His service was timely, and his friendliness was wonderful. We have the fajitas which were not only an apple serving, but the beef chicken and shrimp were all very flavorful. Typical to fajitas it came with enough accompaniments to really really make Forray a wonderful meal. The serving is so ample that it became a takeout meal as well. The ambience is typical of Mexican restaurants. However, the people who we were dining with in the same small dining room were incredibly friendly and old-time customers of the Restaurant. I can't tell you how many years. But given the food and service, I understand why. I'm guessing because it was Cinco de Mayo. There was also a mariachi band and they were just wonderful and added to the venue considerably. If you're in or around Katie Texas, you really do need to stop here.

    "THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS MARVELOUS, DID CHICK FIL LA HAVE A BABY"…read more Have you ever visited a restaurant where the manager is greeting everyone as if he is sitting and dining with you. RENE is absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in MAYO greeted me with a handshake and smile at the bar. I was so impressed with his warmth ability to make me feel special. He literally interacted with every patron at the bar. He took his time explaining things and making sure I had everything I needed. Then out of no where here comes RENE making sure I was well taken care of also. I ordered the rib appetizer. 3 delicious succulent ribs with fresh seasoned shoe string French fries. Barbecue sauce was impressive to flavoring. The meat fell off of the bone in my mouth and down my esophagus, almost feeling like a smooth piece of mouthwatering beef. The fries were so seasoned, fresh, hot and just the right amount of crisp. The taco esthetics are to perfection but flavoring is not it's best. I was not impressed at all. The beef was very bland but it was so pretty. It was not very tasteful at all. They need to add more seasoning or try another beef. The vegetables were very fresh and neatly cut. The beans and salsa given with the chips as complimentary was everything. The Salsa is very red, fresh and chunky. It has not spice at all and drowned in tomatoes. The sauce is so red that is makes you think the tomatoes were picked and chosen right outside the door. The beans are so flavorful and seasoned to perfection. As I was eating, Mayo my waiter asked if I mind moving over one seat to allow a couple to join us. Now mind you I was already eating. A part of me wanted to be angry but MAYO was so polite and kind with asking and the couple was grateful and appreciative as well. The lady next to me was welcoming as I had to move closer to her seat. The outside is very KID FRIENDLY as it has a unique LARGE sandbox. Someone has to take care of the kids. THe inside looks like a house with the rooms being situated so unique with a calm demeanor. ALL OF THE STAFF WALK AROUND WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE AS IF THEY REALLY LOVE THEIR JOB. THEY MAKE ME WANT AN APPLICATION.

The last straw was when we went with another couple, we both ordered the fajitas for two. We paid extra for cheese and sour cream, and got charged extra for the pico and guacamole they normally include with the meal. Instead of bringing us our own side of sour cream we were expected to share it with the entire table, but everything else was served as a separate side. I questioned the waiter when served and again when the bill came. He refused to remove the charge, and would not apply my loyalty rewards. The waiter lost a tip that night, and Victor's lost a customer that night! We were there at least once if not 2-3 times a week!

Sour cream sauce could use some work with the seasoning. Adding queso on top helped but def would try something different next time. The charro beans and rice were both very good. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and shared good company. The ambiance is definitely very family friendly.

Inside it is spacious and has some colorful and lively decor. Great for groups or solo at the bar. Service: 5/5 The hostess was friendly and immediately directed me to my friend's table. Once seated, the waiter was very attentive and accommodating in checking in on us and getting our orders going. Food: 5/5 We ordered the beef and chicken fajitas to share. The beef fajitas were flavorful just as I'd hoped but the chicken was a bit dry. With the order we each get our own plate of rice and beans and choice of tortillas. The flour tortillas were delicious, almost like home made, so much so that I took the leftovers tortillas home to enjoy with butter. The highlight for me was the Skinny Margarita with my customization of adding a shot of Amaretto. I've been disappointed at other places because they never taste fresh, or have an extremely tart flavor, but the bartender had it down to a science because when I tell you from my first sip it was like heaven! Fresh, not too sweet and I only had one and was tipsy, I wasn't the only one. My two friends got the same one and agreed it was delicious and they too were tipsy. And you get your money's worth. I don't live in this area, but for this margarita, I may have to visit again soon. I'm thirsty thinking about it as I'm writing this and likely still thinking about it while you're reading this. I didn't get as many photos as I usually do, apologies, but I did get the Skinny margarita. Overall it was a good time, with good food and good drinks.

Between Saturday and Sunday, the only meal I had was Neca's nachos. I had to go to urgent care, where I was put on an IV and given medication to treat what was diagnosed as food poisoning. In addition to the above facts, my toddler ate a bit off my plate Saturday/Sunday and exhibited symptoms similar to mine. On Monday, June 30th at 9:04am, I called to share my experience with the staff. To be clear, my intention in calling was not to leave a negative review, but simply to bring the matter to the restaurant's attention - privately. Unfortunately, the owner, Albert, was defensive throughout the call. He said things like, "I don't doubt that happened, but we've never had a complaint," and dismissed my experience rather than showing concern. I explained I wasn't calling to leave a bad review but to make them aware. But alas, here we are. If you're looking for a place with good food and quality customer service, I suggest you look elsewhere. But if you're fine risking your health and dealing with defensive owners, Neca's may be the place for you.
