First of all, upon entering the restaurant, we immediately noticed a very strong and unpleasant odor. It smelled like mold, old cheese, or possibly dirty mop water, which made for a very poor first impression. Unfortunately, the experience only got worse from there. The food was some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The quality and flavor were extremely disappointing. The service was also poor. Our server came back to our table several times to ask about our order, yet it was still prepared incorrectly. Overall, between the unpleasant smell, disappointing food, and poor service, this was a very disappointing dining experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant. WORST FOOD/SERVICE DO NOT RECOMMEND Spanish Primero que nada, al entrar al restaurante notamos de inmediato un olor muy fuerte y desagradable. Olía a moho, queso viejo o incluso a agua sucia de trapeador, lo que nos dio una muy mala primera impresión. Desafortunadamente, la experiencia solo empeoró a partir de ahí. La comida fue, sin duda, una de las peores comidas mexicanas que he probado. La calidad y el sabor fueron extremadamente decepcionantes. El servicio también fue muy malo. Nuestro mesero regresó a nuestra mesa varias veces para preguntarnos sobre nuestra orden y, aun así, la prepararon incorrectamente. En general, entre el mal olor, la comida decepcionante y el pésimo servicio, fue una experiencia muy mala y definitivamente no recomendaría este restaurante. read more

Las Fuentes Mexican Restaurant - Chilaquiles - Mexican Near Me - Hempstead, Texas

They stop caring about the food preparation. The orders are always wrong and thrown together.

Been to a lot of Mexican places nearby, Waller, Cyprus and the one next door to this place. My honest opinion is this place Rocks compared to the others. The food was amazing, bountiful and the service was exceptional. Defiantly found a place I can come back to where the service, food and drinks I know will be not disappointing. Beto was a amazing server. See you soon. read more

The food is stale. Tostadas are showered with lettuce. The chicken is dry. The only saving grace is soup. read more

Las Fuentes Mexican Restaurant - My experience - Mexican Near Me - Hempstead, Texas

We came with a large group, 67+. The Las Fuentes staff, Maria, the food, were all wonderful!! We were not rushed, our orders were right, we never had to ask for a drink refill. They were on top of everything!! I will be back!! read more

I have eaten at this restaurant for many years and 99% of the time it's wonderful. I recommend this restaurant chain. They have a delicious restaurant and Brenham that I've been to. I've also been to the one in Magnolia and Somerville. I recommended the price is right and I've always gotten a good meal. read more

Do not eat here! I repeat do not eat here! My phone was given to a complete stranger after I gave the bartender my phone to tap and pay with. I was disrespected and overwhelmed during the entire situation. No accountability taken by the employee. read more

If you went to PVAMU then you know Fuentes is thee spot in the city to get your drinks! For 4 years of my undergrad and every homecoming I return to Fuentes for their margs & their enchiladas! I always get the enchiladas verdes plate with 2 chicken 1 cheese and it's so good!! I will say I haven't had their food in a couple years so it tasted different but it may be the quality of dine in vs take out. Fuentes will always be the spot for drinks and a quick bite especially around Hempstead with not too too many options. Their prices are decent could be better and I can say sometimes their service isn't the best. I know many of PV students who complain about their really bad service here. Though I have not personally experience it, I do think it's important to share. So in my opinion. 4/5 for food options and variety & drinks but I gave them 3/5 stars for simply service read more

Las Fuentes Mexican Restaurant - Always a great atmosphere. Good was hot and fresh I had beef fajitas and we also ordered beef burritos and a small margarita. - Mexican Near Me - Hempstead, Texas

We were in heavy traffic on 290 E headed home on Easter Sunday from a weekend of Blue Bonnet gazing and we were STARVING!!! Then traffic slowed to stop and go. We bailed off in Hempstead with no idea where we could find a restaurant that was open. And then we saw Las Fuentes! Las Fuentes looks like it could be great or not so great from the outside. The food was very good, it was served very fast and the prices are great. It reminds me of Papasitos in Houston for style and quality, but the prices are much lower. WE LOVED IT!! Thank you Las Fuentes! read more

Las Fuentes Mexican Restaurant - Great food inside!! - Mexican Near Me - Hempstead, Texas

Oh man. I really wish this place would improve with its food. It's just awful though. My family has come here countless times throughout the last 20+ years. And it started out okay, but has gotten a little worse every year. Last night was the icing on the cake though! The 'green salsa' was rancid and chunky. And I ordered a veggie quesadilla.. and it came with asian stir fry veggies inside. Lima beans, snow peas, etc. It was so gross. So I had to pick it all out, and paid $11 for a 1/2 order of cheese quesadillas. This place has gotten lazy, and is barely even Mexican food anymore. Really disgusting and disappointing. They are too busy to have this poor of quality. No excuses. read more

Ambiance was nice! Service was pretty slow. The food was amazing though, that's why I would rate it 4/5 stars. I went on what most people would consider a busy night. I don't blame them for the service, maybe it was just the server I had that wasn't very attentive. I would definitely go back again. Very mixed crowd. read more

Las Fuentes Mexican Restaurant - chicken enchiladas, photo was taken on lapse that's why it looks so dark/edited! - Mexican Near Me - Hempstead, Texas

Do not get the pitcher of margaritas!! Taste like sugar water. After receiving our food, didn't see the waiter until a helper tried to take our food and we needed to-go boxes. Food was okay but wouldn't advise you to get the stuffed avocados. The red salsa taste like soap and was very warm for some odd reason. read more

Las Fuentes Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Hempstead, Texas

Food and service was great no complaints. Order the large margarita and it was plenty for two next time one to split.

The place smells like a stale cigarette from the residual of the bar that they have inside there. I like their guacamole and I like their cheese enchiladas but being asthmatic, I cannot go in there read more

Great margaritas ask for the premium jumbo I like it with Don Julio but that's a personal preference one is all you will need can you say fish bowl it's so big. read more

Service is always great, enchiladas were delicious, margaritas are very good, not sour or tart. Highly recommend this restaurant. Ambiance is perfect, no hip hop loud music drowning out your conversation. read more

We have eaten here since they opened their doors. I chose to stay near Somerville while doing the Round Top Fair so we could eat here at the end of our day. Having missed 3years of the festival I was excited to come back this year. I don't know what happened in those 3 years but I was disappointed with the food. My wife had flavorless chicken fajitas. Flavorless beans. I had shrimp tacos that had no flavor nor did the beans. Even the salsa was bland. I suggest they go find the cook they had 3 years ago and hire him back. I WILL NOT COME BACK read more

Enjoy going there, the last time I visited the location on 2920. The beef fajita in the burrito, tasted funny like it was burnt. The manager took care of it for me. Will definitely go back. read more

The food isn't the best, however the drinks and the service is ok. The food also is not authentic as I was hoping. I ordered a simple chicken taco and it was a big portion size. The food had more of a tex mex/gringo flavor rather than real Mexican food. read more

i waited for my food for 2 hours after I ordere! my server had a hor attitude twords me when I asked for straws. we were the only ones in there. The overall ambiance was quite and hectic. read more

Definitely Tex Mex, not Mexican. Food was good, wait staff was great. Great Happy Hour drinks. Lots of menu choices. I will definitely be going back. Try the giant margaritas during happy hour. Best deal in the area. read more

Best find in Hempstead Texas. Very nice and clean. Service was great but the food was outstanding. I wish they opened early to serve breakfast. I felt like i was in a nice little resurant in Mexico. read more

Good atmosphere but subpar food for the high prices. Fajitas were flavorless and dry. Rice had no flavor.

I absolutely love this place! Food was great! Cooked perfectly, atmosphere was wonderful! Family owned business that really make you feel comfortable and welcomed when you arrive. I will definitely be bringing my family here next! I ordered the Chimichanga Delicious! read more

The food was very good. We ordered the queso and it came with two salsa, one was warm and sooo delicious! Then we got a huge combo plus sour cream chicken enchiladas. Everything tasted good, and came out timely with excellent service from a very kind waitress. The "giant coconut margarita" was massive and amazing!!! read more

See all

Steer away from this place. Straight up waist of money, and time. They bring you the wrong things and the food is below average. I ordered the bbq wings and boy did I get some bbq sauce with it. More like I got half a gallon of bbq sauce with "wings". I was having to fish them out of the bbq sauce and wipe them down with a napkin. I sent them back and you could tell they only took a towel and wiped them down and sent them back to me. My parents ordered a fajita plate for two and they only brought a plate for 1 with bbq sauce smothered all over the fajitas. We hadn't been here in 5 years and we'll there's a reason why and they proved it again tonight. read more

If there is a Mexican food place that strives to make their food as close to "hospital food" as possible, this is it! Jeez, I didn't think Mexican food could be this bland (or expensive!). If they would just buy their tortillas from H.E.B. instead of the cardboard discs they serve, it would help! read more

I love this place. The ambience, food and friendly staff make it a pleasure to dine at Las Fuentes. When I'm in Hempstead, this is the only place I go. You can't go wrong with their fajitas and margaritas. read more

Las Fuentes isn't the best but it's far from the worst. Lunch and dinner specials have a lot of food for a great price and the margaritas are really good. Not really authentic Mexican food it's definitely more Tex-Mex. The service is good and the inside is a really cute theme. read more

This place has great service and yummy micheladas but I just had the worst enchiladas I've ever had in my life... So, good atmosphere but terrible food. read more

Food was horrible. Tortillas were raw, uncooked/warmed, and enchiladas barely had any chicken in them. Too expensive, imho. With tip and two beers, we spent $40.00 Service was very good, but we won't return. read more

Very nice wait staff but the place allows smokers in a smoking sections. Restaurant smell of smoke. Food was okay.

The free queso is great for lunchtime, I order my favorite Traditional #9 lunch special. Staff is friendly and great service even during Covid. read more

This is the best Mexican food I have ever had! The service was great, the restaurant was clean and stylish and the food was unbelievably good! read more

Despite what I heard regarding Las Fuentes, I went anyways and overall it was pretty good! I got the Las Fuentes Special (for one -- there is one for two) and it was good. It did not come with sour cream or cheese and a side of sour cream (pictured) was $2.75; I believe the cheese was $1.50 or something like that. I found that to be ridiculous but other than that the food was good and their happy hour menu looks dandy too! read more

The food and drinks are good, but regardless of the time of day, the service always takes awhile.

Hempstead must not have any decent Tex Mex restaurants in town. I came here after reading the good reviews on Yelp. When I walked in the place smelled like sewer and the food didn't improve my improve my experience. I ordered a combination with cheese enchiladas and a "Crispy" taco. The enchiladas were left in the over so long that the cheese hardened on top of them. The taco was so soggy that it was inedible and the enchiladas were crispy from the hardened cheese. See my pic. I do like that they give you a small bowl of queso and the chips an salsa were OK. I always try and point out something positive with a bad review, so here it goes: Restaurant and bathrooms were clean and the waiters were attentive. read more

Las Fuentes Mexican Restaurant - Soggy taco& crispy enchilada. - Mexican Near Me - Hempstead, Texas

I think I might judge Mexican restaurants too harshly because I am tuned into their flavors. I have eaten much Mexican food in the last month due to my travels through the south, and although I always leave full I always leave desiring something more. Not sure what or why, but I do. Tonight I ate the chicken fajitas poblanas. My companions had beef tacos and a chicken quesadilla. One of the best things was the chunky guacamole thanks to its extreme freshness. All in all we were very pleased with the service and the food was well prepared. No complaints from anyone. Given the lack of alcohol served in this town, I think Las Fuentes has a strong hold on the market and that alone would bring me back to eat here if I was ever to find myself in Hempsted. Not a destination, but certainly not a disappointment if you find yourself here. read more

I don't know about these people on Yelp but this place is straight up terrible I went there and the food was cold when I got it the drinks were terrible I will never go back I would give it no stars if I could.. read more
