If it wasn't for InKind I wouldn't have learned about this place! Let me just say I haven't had this level of service in a LONG time. The servers, bartender, heck--even the manager, were tending to us in every way! I shared the fajita mix & there was enough food to go around. The drinks were made with love; you could definitely taste it! Thanks so much, we will be back! read more

Plenty of parking, super nice location, good music, indoor and outdoor sitting. The food was very plain, there was nothing special about it, from the presentation to the portion and the taste. We only came here because we attended an event at the Stomping Grounds and were very hungry. I would not make the drive for the food. The staff was super friendly, the bartender was very nice. read more

La Mex - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Stopped in after seeing enough posts online about it. It was early on a Saturday morning. Outside was crazy packed with kids parties. The inside didn't have anyone else other than one at the bar. The nachos were my favorite. My husband had ordered the shredded beef breakfast plate. His plate took at least ten minutes longer it felt like than the rest of us. Honestly overall I wasn't overly impressed with some of the items. The carne didn't have as much flavor as I wanted. The barbacoa was so greasy that it shot at my stepson. read more

Went for breakfast on a Saturday around 09:00. Got some breakfast tacos, staff were very helpful. we enjoyed our breakfast until the guy behind us began screaming at his little girls who wanted to run around instead of eating. and then the table next to the window, to the left of us, began yelling for their son to come eat. Yelling right into our ears. and then a little girl had a meltdown by the door, next to our table. next time, we sit inside read more

We had a nice breakfast at La Mex. The food was fine (bacon breakfast taco for me and pancakes for the kids). But the real draw of La Mex is its location in the Stomping Grounds, which is this cute complex of restaurants, encircled around a green space where kids can run around and play. read more

I love this local Tex-Mex eatery. The staff is so friendly and always go above and beyond to make you and your little ones feel welcomed. The food is reasonably priced and good. The drinks are always great. The music always elevates your spirits and never too loud. It's just a great local spot to eat delicious food and relax. read more

Wanted margaritas and enchiladas for Labor Day and got a few recos from a FB foodie group. Decided to try La Mex. I have to give the experience a mixed review. Let's start w the good. - Chicken tostados were delicious. Best part of the meal. - I had sangria and my Wife had strawberry frozen margarita. Both delicious - Son #1 ordered veggie fajitas. He gave them a thumbs up - Son #2 ordered beef fajitas quesadillas. Again, thumbs up. Please note...these boys are greedy! Now the not so good. - the food came out oddly from a timing standpoint. I would assume most restaurants bring appetizers as ready and then entrees all together. The tostados and chips & queso came out together, but it was odd for me from there. - my wife ordered fajita quesadillas and they came first. 10 min later my son's fajita quesadillas came out, 5 miniutes late other son's veggie fajitas came out, 10 min after that my beef fajita enchiladas came out over 20 minutes after first entree came to the table. They enchiladas weren't great and the wait didn't help. Not the best family dining experience. Overall the food was decent, but not quite what we expected. I wanted to love La Mex, but it was just an ok experience overall. All things considered 3.5 read more

Great Mexican Restaurant not your Tex-Mex but glad they're here in Houston. Delicious food and love the breakfast

I was looking for a Mexican restaurant in the area and La Mex came up. You order at the counter. They had lunch specials and I ordered a cheese quesadilla on corn tortillas with rice and beans. The quesadillas had plenty of cheese. The rice and beans were good too. But the beans were lukewarm. The waiter offered me salsas. I asked for the mildest one. I was given a tangy green salsa to put on my quesadillas. It was still spicy but good. There are no chips and salsa included with your meal. I sat outside and unfortunately there were flies. This restaurant is esthetically pleasing. The outdoor seating looks out to a courtyard. I should have complained about the temperature of the refried beans but I was hungry and wanted to finish up and go. Overall, my plate of quesadillas was good. read more

Sadly - mediocre food. Queso was lumpy and didn't seem fresh. Main meal was only slightly above warm. Taste was just ok.

Breakfast was spot on. The tacos were hot, fresh, reasonably priced and the salsas were tasty. Coffee was made well especially the cafe de olla. read more

Excellent addition to the Stomping Grounds. Counter-service style Tex-mex. Indoor/outdoor seating - great if you have kids that want to run around outside on the green - and also has a full bar for the parents. We ordered mixed fajitas for two - lots of beef and chicken and barely finished. Delicious onions under the fajitas. Served with rice, beans, and guacamole . Also had a chips and queso app. Overall the only room for improvement would be chips/salsa being served with each meal as is pretty normal at Mexican restaurants. It was busy but it was hard to tell as most customers were dining outside with their kids. Which made inside a nice retreat. Check it out! read more

La Mex - Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Daniel was an amazing bar tender! Tended to us as visitors and drinks were awesome! It's my first time and won't be my last!

Was very underwhelmed! The spicy margarita was extremely small & was all ice and seemed quite a long time to prepare even though the bar was not busy! Definitely not worth $12.95! No staff follow-up (even after stating was first time there). read more

La Mex - La Mex spicy margarita. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Someone told me this was associated with La Mexicana. My husband and I were excited because we live close by, but unfortunately it was incomparable and so disappointing! It's about as fast food as you can get--the queso wasn't good, the rice was hard, my carne guisada was chewy and the enchiladas tasted like they were made quickly and lacked flavor. The margarita was pretty good, but you can get a comparable meal at taco cabana for much cheaper. read more

Always a great experience when we stop in for a bite. The food is consistently good, and the location is conveniently near our neighborhood. The atmosphere is family-friendly, especially on nice days with the outdoor green space and patio. The staff always greets us with a smile and makes us feel genuinely appreciated as customers. David, Daniel, and the entire team consistently check in to ensure we have everything we need. Highly recommend! read more

It was a perfect spot for our family group of 9 which included 3 active kiddos under 7. We were able to sit outside and enjoy margaritas and appetizers while the kids ran around. The food was reasonably priced and very good. read more

We had potato, egg & ham taco, kids pancake breakfast with bacon and coffee. All were great and my kids can run around after we are done. Clean space and friendly staff. Excited to come back and try lunch/dinner items. read more

The food is excellent! I love La Mexicana and have been going there for years. So glad we have a little piece of it in the GOOF area! Love it!! Breakfast all day, the best flour tortillas in town, and my favorite beef fajita taco with slices of avocado and a touch of their green sauce, the best! Great play area for the kids between the restaurants. read more

Fuimos con mi familia para probar la comida porque 3 differentes personas en TikTok lo recomendaron. Pero me cobraron 13.95 por 2 tacos de fajita (maíz) que en mi opinión está muy elevado el precio para 2 tacos que no llevaban ni aguacate ni frijoles charros como para decir que me cobraron el aguacate y los frijoles. según que no tienen un plato que sea de tacos sino que cada taco vale $6.95 lo cual no se me informó solo me dijo la cajera los tacos son separados uno escoge cuantos tacos quiere lo cual dije está bien. pero no lo recomiendo. read more

OMG Went there to pick up a to-go order. Never been..and let me tell you this place and the staff was amazing. Got home and the food was AMAZING. The red sauce on the fajita enchiladas were amazing. Everything was amazing..... read more

Brand new, nice, bright, and spacious counting the open courtyard in front. Plenty of parking and looks to be family-friendly. Perhaps still tweaking things a bit such as a steady bartender and maybe some recipe work in the kitchen. Only sampled the fajitas which were decent with sides, and plenty of chips and salsas. The one item that needs immediate work is the queso as it had the consistency of a soup and was mostly flavorless. I would try again in a month or so to see if all things have been corrected. .. read more

It was super overpriced. I got 2 breakfast tacos and some chips and queso and my total was $24. I think that's a bit excessive. They tacos were okay. read more

Fajitas were delicious and the service was good especially after lady that was sitting next to us got sick at the table. We were able to move because the lady stayed at the table. I won't go into more details. But everything else was nice. We could sit inside or outside but I wouldn't sit out until the temps drop. They do have fans. I will be going back. Hopefully those people will not. read more

We've been here several times and always have had great food, but breakfast yesterday is what warranted this review. We ordered 2 bacon, egg, & cheese tacos, 1 chorizo, egg, & cheese taco, 1 Barbacoa taco, a side of bacon, and a side of potatoes. All of it was excellent and probably top 5 breakfast tacos for us. What took the cake was the barbacoa taco....holy heck that was probably the best barbacoa we've ever had. It was so good my husband demanded I try it and he never does that. My son was also obsessed with the potatoes because they were so crispy. Definitely will be back for tacos asap!! read more

Great little place. Not a lot offered on the menu but the fact that they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner ALL DAY makes up for it. Met my mom and sisters here on Mother's Day and was pleasantly surprised there wasn't a wait. Definitely worth a stop. read more

I'd say this place is average. The chips and dips weren't to my liking. We had the guac, salsas and queso. The guac tasted artificial and the salsas are the fresh ones that I personally like. The queso was meh. The fajitas were good. I liked the meats and the flour tortillas were good. Unfortunately the service was really really bad. Our server was only not present but also not very friendly. Never smiled once. We ordered extra tortillas and our waitress disappeared for a long time so we finally got up and just asked the cooks oUrselves if we could have more. I'm not sure I'd come back. read more

My husband and I went for lunch. We had the picadillo (ground beef) enchiladas with rice and beans. The enchiladas were delicious, the beans good, and the rice meh. But none of it was hot! Warmish when we got the food, cold before we finished. We might go back, but hopefully next time it will be hot. read more

The staff is so nice! The food is amazing as well. The red enchilada sauce is super good! Need to give this place a try. Do it!

I love their breakfast! I love when the weather is nice and we can sit on the lawn with a margarita and some chips and guacamole. My husband really likes their beef fajitas. They make fresh tortillas daily. All of the staff area so nice too. read more

No one there but us. Service and people were nice but food couldn't have been more bland. Enchiladas, rice, beans and quesadilla were all terribly lacking in flavor. Wouldn't go back for dinner food but may go back to give the breakfasts a chance since that was most of the menu. Very little available for lunch/dinner. read more

Food is delicious. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Dining outside is a bit loud but there is plenty of space to dine inside. Will be back! read more

The food is created to represent a style that is memorable. A simple taco is all that expect of a complete taco. The Sopa Azteca is just right as a flavorful soup dish. It is a pretty place and the people are friendly. read more

Love the original la Mexicana on Montrose but this location on 34th is closer to me. Great food and excellent service!

The food flavor and quality were excellent Our waiter (the bartender) was friendly, helpful, and prompt. Most of us had tacos or enchiladas, but one had the tortilla soup, we all tasted it. We ate outside on the covered porch, next to the grassy yard at the center of the Stomping Grounds. It was a great lunch read more

Incredible tasting food and sangria margsnew business to this area of the heights, but sister restaurant in Montrose.
