If you've been waiting for Mexican food, wait longer! We were looking for a quick and easy dinner so decided to pop in and unfortunately we waited at least 45 minutes after ordering for our food to come. The place was not packed. Frosty mug with a cold beer was a plus. The service was fine but leaned toward the cold side too. Salsa with the chips was nice but chicken was dry and consensus from our group was: underwhelmed. Keep trying Lalo's, you've got this! read more

We frequent this establishment a lot, the food is always amazing and the ambiance is always great. The same consistency and great service each time. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly it's definitely our favorite place. Our kids love this place so much. We definitely recommend. read more

Lalo’s - Enchiladas w/ rice and charro beans - Mexican Near Me - Montgomery, Texas

The service here was excellent. They took great care of us and made sure our drinks and chip baskets were full and that we got our food when we were ready. They even have a cool photo spot set up that was perfect for me to grab pics with my granddaughters! They have a very expansive menu with a ton of choices for any picky palate. read more

We loved our lunch. LOVED! The manager Raul waited on us today. He's so polite and elegant. He helped me come up with a custom plate of a carnitas taco, a flauta & a cheese enchilada...all superb! My sister had a mixed fajita platter for one. So much food! Everything was hot and delicious. The service was excellent & the atmosphere on a Saturday was relaxed and so pleasant. I'll be back next time I'm in Texas. read more

Hometown goodness. Always good. Clean, great ambiance with good vibe music playing. Service is over the top accommodating. Raul and his team are at your every whim and all jumping in to make sure all customers are well taken care of and satisfied. On top of all that the food is Always fresh, piping hot (when it should be), plentiful portions. If something isn't right or not the way you like they will make it right. Best lunch menu too. Margaritas and other beverages are supreme. Don't miss out. Visit them soon and often! read more

A decent neighborhood spot for Tex-Mex. Was busy on a Friday night, so I have to assume others agree. We ordered margaritas and they were mid-tier. I will admit my party is a bit specific with margaritas so it wasn't our perfect match, but it was decent enough. Has a lot of sugar though, so I'd personally ask for less next time. We ordered the guacamole, nachos, and fajitas. The guacamole was great, but it did have some odd plating (I don't really understand why it came with cucumbers, but to each their own). Salsa is fresh and you can tell! The nachos were fine as well. The menu says they come with either shredded chicken, picadillo, or carnitas, but the people I was with really wanted steak and the staff was happy to oblige. The fajitas were great, hard to mess up delicious grilled meats and onions. They also give you melted garlic butter at no additional charge. The only thing I'll say that I was a little disappointed about is that their fajitas did not come with lettuce, shredded cheese, or sour cream. It's not the biggest deal, but it was noticeable enough since most places in the area do serve it that way. All in all a nice experience. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. If there was any advice I could give them, I would say they need a website attached to their google address! read more

Went back to Lalo's for dinner in early June and noticed the signs about the new ownership inside. The new ownership must have reduced the service and quality of food. Both of our dishes were not as good as our last visit. They were salty and contained less protein. Hopefully they can turn it around and make it as good as it used to be. read more

Well first trip in Recommended by a friend Patio was great Mariachi band was good but LOUD Food was ehhh ok Margarita had blueberries orange and strawberries in it Strange Salsa was not what I'm used to at all Not my liking Staff was GREAT read more

Great atmosphere, fun decorations. I wish the cheese enchiladas were real cheddar and not just all velveeta. American cheese is perfect in queso, but enchiladas. Guacamole was great. Nice chips and salsa. The star of the meal was the $3.50 house 'rita. By far the best on the rocks margarita I've had in a while, and much better than I expected at that price read more

Do not waste your time or money. To start, the waitress/manager did not listen to our order and brought our drink and appetizer order wrong. The food tasted partially prepackaged, the avocados were brown, and the rest had zero flavor. We were also charged prices above what was listed on the menu. Lesson learned. read more

You do NOT want to miss this! These folks have a long and time-honored reputation for their restaurants in this part of Texas. This ain't their first rodeo. Lalo's is located in the town square of Madisonville, so there is plenty of parking and plenty of things to look at after the meal if you want to walk off dinner. You can't miss this place. It features festive decorations inside and out and even has a horse in front. The atmosphere inside matches the decorations. They make you feel like the guest of honor at a festive gathering. The staff are friendly and professional. You won't have to ask for refills on your drinks or on your chips and salsa. The employees have great attitudes. They are welcoming and dedicated to serving you. They provide an excellent experience. You should leave feeling better than when you arrived. The food is excellent. It is served hot and fresh. The portions are generous. Believe me, you will NOT leave hungry! The restaurant is kept very clean. You won't find employees just standing around or on their phones. They stay busy scanning the tables for glasses that need to be refilled, chips that need to be refilled, empty plates that need to be collected, tables that need to be cleaned, floors that need to be swept, etc. Excellent service and excellent food in a pleasant atmosphere at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a place to take the family out for dinner, you can't beat this restaurant. They'll put a smile on everyone's face! read more

This was truly the worst mexican food i have EVER had. The plates are over priced and under seasoned. We ran out of chips and it took about 10 minutes before we got up to ask for some more. The salsa was also flavorless. We received cold enchiladas that were so over salted you couldn't taste anything else. My husband received tiny tacos and unsalted, COLD fries. I will never step foot into this restaurant again. read more

Fast service, nice and attentive staff and better than average Tex-Mex fare certainly better than the place next-door

First time trying Taco salad - service was slow and not too friendly (no smile or chit chat). It took a long time to make it but liked good when finally arrived. The chicken was freshly grilled and tasted good. The tomatoes were old and I found pieces of wilted lettuce in the salad. No guacamole at all - this is the first time having a Taco salad without guacamole! One thing that bothered me: the TV was broken and they just left it on in the middle of the main dining area - who does that? It was hard to watch TV and I almost got up and turned it off. Anyway could have rated higher if waiter was pleasant he was focused on hustling the female waitresses/bus girl. read more

New Tex Mex restaurant in Montgomery... colorful, festive decor and a nice patio seating area. The food was pretty good, wish they had bigger salsa bowls. It's seems very popular, there are so many Mexican food restaurants in the area and they had a full parking lot. read more

Food is authentic and so good. I would highly recommend the Pollo Rio and you can't beat $5.50 Margaritas.

Yummy! Clean and tasty! Very attentive staff! Highly recommend! Good chips and salsa too! read more

Lalo’s - Chimichanga! - Mexican Near Me - Montgomery, Texas

Typical TexMex Cuisine... There are dozens along 105 between Conroe & Montgomery... Except this Lalo's has tasty food. I had the Enchiladas de Mole... Scrum-diddly-icious! There refries & rice pilaf sides were good. Different recipes from standard TexMex & better. read more

I can't get past all the dishes that generally have cheese on them all boast American cheese. Why? We've been there enough to know it's routine, and a poor decision on the restaurants part. And their staff has started to slip. It appears the younger the employees, the less reliable they become. read more

This place looks so cool from the outside! Get in and it's busy. Sat down right away. My margarita was watered down and gross. We ordered mixed fajitas and the Tampiquena. Was not impressed at all. Boxed food. Chips have weird texture. Salsa tasted like dish water full of onion. I was so disappointed. Their tortillas are store bought. I can cook better Mexican food! But I wanted a night out and was highly disappointed. Won't be coming back. read more

Overpriced and not great food and service is hit or miss. Margs are good though. .......................................... .......... ................. read more

Good service! The bus boy was amazing and on top of any need or request. The server was charming, quick, and very polite. My daughter couldn't decide what kind of queso she wanted. He suggested one yellow and one blanco. Perfect! The blanco was better. We each got what we ordered with refills of tea, water, chips and salsa. The only food issue was flat Dos Equis draft. The server and bartender couldn't fix it, so a draft Modelo was the substitute. The bathroom needed a wipe down and the TV in the dining room was annoying. Something wasn't right about the screen. We will be back! read more

7PM on a Saturday and including us there we 8 customers. Then we got our food and that explained it. Food was TERRIBLE we couldn't eat it, it all had some kind of strange taste to it. I give it a 2 star because the margaritas were good and service was nice people. Won't be back. read more

Some of the best food I've had. Place is really good, drinks are fantastic. You gotta try the big red margarita

Visiting from out of town, stepped away from Resort for local food, and YUMMY!!! Probably best Mexican food I've had! read more

Haven't been to Lalo's in a few months. But decided to try again tonight. Went to the bar and only two others at the bar and they were waiting on their check. When the server/bartender asked what we would like. We told him to start waters and Queso with fresh jalapeños. He wrote it down on his little pad. He came back and asked if we were ready to order, we told him our drink order. He brought our drinks jumbo margaritas and a wine. Then asked if we were ready to order. We placed our order and I asked for picadillo for the Texas quesadillas. He said they don't have that only beef or chicken. So I ordered beef. My wife ordered and then the food came out quickly. Soggy quesadillas. Never got our waters or queso. So I told him don't bother with it. He didn't even know what I was talking about. Not once asked if we needed anything. He was only on his phone. They close at 10:30 but at 9:30 they moved the chairs next to us and started sweeping. Not once did anyone ask us how we were or if they could get us anything. We finally decided to leave and asked for our check. Again never asked how was your meal/drinks/evening. I guess guests are now taken for granted. I hope Martin reads and better trains his staff. It always comes down to management. I would love more places to spend time at but not again at Lalos. Sorry to be a b**ch but I eat out a lot and this is about as bad as it has been for me. Just saying we probably will choose elsewhere. Just my experience, maybe you all have had better there??? read more

Nice and clean and friendly place, by the way, food was really good. It is my go to place now.

Got a combination plate that included a taco and the taco shell was so stale it was chewy. It was served on a hot plate which could have an effect, but the plate also included queso and the taco bowl it came in was fine. Also the taco meat tasted weird. My husband wasn't impressed with the enchiladas. Service was good and fast but our experience with the food was not great. As a side note, we both noticed we felt a little off a short time later, like how you might feel after not getting enough sleep or having a cocktail, but neither of us had an alcoholic drink there or at all that day. Not sure if it was related to the restaurant or not, however if anyone else feels that way after going to Lalo's then that place should be checked out for what they're putting in the food/drinks. read more

Man I love this place. We come here quite often with my in laws and we even order out here. Everyone is really pleasant. There is not a meal here that is not tasty. read more

Great service, great food and great drinks!! Very impressed! I've eaten at all of the Mexican restaurants around and this stands alone!!

We noticed some negative reviews and feel like they must be from jealous competitors. We love Lalo's and make a point of stoping in at least once a week. The atmosphere is festive and upbeat with brightly colored walls, pictures and happy music! The menu is terrific! If you can't find something that suits your taste, there is something wrong with you. There menu is extensive but not expensive! Great food for a great value! Did I mention the best Happy Hour we have ever seen? Happy Hour is from 11:00-6:00 every day of the week and their house Margaritas are awesome! We have been going there since the second day they opened. The staff bends over backwards to make sure everything is perfect. Everyone working there is congenial, professional and friendly. We highly recommend Lalo's! read more

Very good drinks and food! New restaurant in previous Mexican restaurant. Would pick it over most others in the area

Honestly im so picky about trying new restaurants but this is such a GOOD restaurant! GREAT customer service and FOOD WAS SO GOOD! Great price. We got burritos/enchiladas and torta. We got guac and queso blanco and the aguas frescas are good. Waiter was on point. We never had to wait on anything. Drinks were always refilled on time. We went Monday 8PM good time to go. read more

this is the 3rd time I've online ordered food or sat at the bar and been completely ignored. The first time I sat at the bar ordered a coors light and waited 8 minutes for someone to serve me that at the bar, wanted to order food but nobody came I had 3 drinks of my beer and walked out. Second time sat at the bar got a beer and my food...waited 15 minutes to pay. left a note on the check for them to pay attention to their customers, fyi they were not busy at all. Today I ordered online...food was ready waited while 8 new customers came in and were helped before me. I am a bartender in the service industry . I can not imagine how this place is still open. read more

Awesomeness lives here. The food and customer service are unbeatable! Please eat here. You will not regret your choice.

The food was great ! I ordered the mini tacos of fajita and el pastor so BOMB the customer service was great they were ver welcoming. Coming from Houston and this Lalo's has been one of my favorites ! read more

Service was great, and the people very nice and the prices were reasonable. Unfortunately the food was just ok. Very bland and flavorless. We likely won't return. read more

Good place overall. They seem to care about quality service & kept checking on us. Ensured we always had plenty of salsa & chips. *Food (limited based on 1 visit)* Red Salsa (9/10) - warm temperature. Spicy heat builds over time, good flavor. Chunks if you like them. 1 salsa bowl per person. Green dip (8/10) - good Chips (9/10) - warm sometimes, not too thick Margarita Frozen (9/10) - tasty & flavorful & more than strong enough for me Regular Cheese dip/ puff (9/10) - on par with other good ones Cheese enchilada (6/10) - would try something else next time. Not a fan of the sauce. Atmosphere: colorful & decorated. Booths were small (seemed smaller than standard size) read more

Food was like most others, ok... They kept coming around every 2-3 minutes asking if we needed anything. We finally just left.
