Took our daughter here for lunch. I LOVED it. So did she. When I first walked in they were playing los tucanes and a few other Mexican genres. The food was amazing, beers are very cold. Waiter was super friendly and willing to assist in any way possible. Will be here again, this is the spot for authentic food. read more

My husband and I were craving Mexican food and decided to try Las Mañanitas, and we're glad that we did. Upon entering we noticed the staff did a good job to social distance the tables. All staff were wearing masks and gloves. We started off with a small queso, which was very good and more than enough for us. The salsa was also delicious. We both ordered a specialty plates: fajita tacos with enchiladas, rice and charro beans. Everything was so good and again very generous portion size (we had to take home left overs). My husband and I grew up near the U.S. - Mexico border, so we know what good Mexican food taste likes, and Las Mañanitas is spot on! Support local and try this place out! read more

The ceiling was leaking ... directly above where I was sitting. The food was ok. Service is slow. The other location is much better than the Katy location. read more

2nd order from door dash. I found the food to be overly greasy. My fajitas were a small portion sliced very thing, too thin. I received two pork ribs with my order they were fall off the bone but I cant call them delicious or even good. I will shop around for better tex mex as I have not found it here. read more

So incredibly kind and friendly here and the food and drinks speak for themselves. Super delicious! Would definitely recommend and will be a returning customer. read more

My work treated us today with food from Las Mañanitas. It was delicious. My coworkers all really enjoyed their food. I will definitely be stopping by with my family next time we go out for Mexican food. read more

So this place was promising but disappointing. Red and green salsa were decent...had to add salt though. Ordered veggie quesadillas...we were told it would have onions, tomato, bell pepper etc..was filled with only cheese with almost no veggies...that too yellow cheese which I don't like. Will not be coming back here. read more

Fire queso flameado. Idk what else to say but I fucks with the food overall 100!! Great service our server was very attentive!

Doesn't look like much but this place is AMAZING !!! The costumer service is spectacular almost no wait time for you food. I recommend the street taco plate always I mean always hits the spot authentic Tex Mex food!! Never disappointed when coming here. read more

Amazing...we haven't eaten here in years since moving out of Katy!! We will be back soon...the food, queso, margaritas, salsa and service were great!! Fajita enchiladas were yummy!! read more

Great food. Waiter was exceptional. Ordered the flautist and the burrito. Overall, great experience.

For years we would eat Las Mananitas on a near weekly, often bi-weekly, basis, but it has gone downhill very quickly. Portions have been getting smaller and smaller, quality has been dropping while the prices have kept rising. They only use nearly half the meat and cheese they used to. The rice and beans used to fill the to-go containers, now they only give a couple stale spoonfuls. Somehow they managed to make the beans less flavorful after adding pork fat. Tacos and enchiladas were cold and half soggy/half stale as if they were sitting out for hours. Even during a dinner rush the fajita meat was cold and tough like it was leftover from lunch. No tex-mex restaurant in the greater Houston area has any business serving food as bland as theirs has become. Before Las Mananitas started raising their prices it was a good value for their portions. Now they serve significantly lower quality food in smaller quantities for prices similar to restaurants only 5 minutes from them. Even their margaritas are more expensive than their competitors. I don't understand why anyone would pay their prices to drink in a restaurant with the ambiance of a dirty warehouse the day after a Cinco de Mayo party when there are plenty of options. They have even charged an addition/substitution fee for leaving cheese OFF without notice multiple times. One or two times could be an honest mistake, or a new hire. Multiple times is just money-grubbing policies or poor training. These should not be issues with a restaurant that has been established as long as they have. Just go anywhere else. I suspect that most of their regular customers haven't even tried similar nearby restaurants out of a sense of misplaced loyalty or habit. There are plenty of better tex-mex places within 5 minutes of their location. Some of them even have drive-throughs. read more

We just moved into the area and I've tried numerous Mexican restraints and have left disappointed every single time except here. First, the margarita flight was delicious! I ordered cyclometer, strawberry, passion fruit and peach. The presentation was cute and they tasted yummy. I ordered an enchilada plate (with sour cream and guac side) and two kid plates with drinks. My total was $38 which is incredibly cheap IMO especially for the quality. The customer service was excellent and the server was attentive to our needs, questions and our kids needs. I think I found my go to Mexican spot and the best part is that it's only a 5 min drive from where I live. read more

Amazing food! Long time customer(since I was a kid) of the mason rd location in Katy, Tx. The price is irrelevant when it's come to this place because their portions are very generous and the quality is very good imo! read more

This restaurant has given me the worst stomach problems of my life. It has the worst tasting food possible. I would not go back at all. The chorizo con huevo is seasoned beef not even real longaniza and the chilaquiles were super soggy and not we'll seasoned read more

Ordered the Mole Enchiladas. Food was served quickly. Very generous with the cheese. :) Was craving an agua de horchata, but they don't serve any aguas naturales. The food definitely falls in the Tex-Mex category. Although, I can't blame them for serving the demographics of the area. Only the refried beans had a more authentic taste to them. The mole sauce was flavorful. The waitstaff is very friendly and attentive. Overall, I would not go out of my way to return, but would consider returning next time my car is getting serviced down the street. read more

Las Mananitas - Mole Enchiladas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Katy, Texas

Went here for dinner last friday night. Arrived and we were seated without a wait. Happy hour was still going on so I tried one of the large frozen margaritas. It was very good and only $5.50. The chips were brought out with 2 types of salsa. The green salsa was cold and the red salsa was served hot. Both were very good. For an appetizer we ordered queso. I was surprised that it didn't come with pickled jalapenos. I asked for them and they brought me a small bowl. Think it was the first time I have been charged extra for them.. For the main course we ordered the beef fajitas for two. A sizzling platter was brought out with a large portion of beef and onions. The beef was slightly overcooked but still pretty good. It was served with fresh handmade and delicious flour tortillas. They were great. The rice and beans were just Ok, the type you would get at most tex mex restaurants.. The staff was attentive and everyone was friendly. The tables and floors were clean. Plenty of parking spaces in the lot. The prices are reasonable. All in all a good place for tex mex. read more

Bland Tex-Mex at its very peak here. Not trying to sound like a snob and you'll probably laugh after I say this...BUT...still haven't found quality Tex-Mex like that in Pasadena while living here here on the west side. Yes, snobby Pasadena. Was about to give 2 stars but went with 3. It's a two part reason as to why I bumped to 3. Yelp can we PLEASE have .5 star increments? I want to give my meal the average, middle of the road, plain of a score as possible. I had pollo monterrey, and shrimp nachos (even though I ordered quesadillas but got nachos...but whatever...) and I'm walking away full but left no impact on me. Nachos were soggy but passable. Just chip, shrimp, and cheese. The chicken in the pollo monterrey had undercooked bell peppers and the meal as a whole was oily. The chicken itself while cooked looked like they pounded out a breast, tossed some black pepper on it, and grilled it. That's it. So at this point...2 stars... Now I know what you're saying... "he's trashing the food and he gave it THREE STARS???" And yes, the food was bland to terrible...but the salsa makes up for that. The red salsa here is GREAT. Warm, blended properly, and with some kick behind it. The perfect amount of heat. I ate it all while watching 90 Day Fiancé and I regret nothing. If they could only improve the food or at least the dishes I had, then this would be a little treasure simply for that salsa. But as it stands for me? The food was just boring with bland flavors. It's akin to food you could take your kids to and they wouldn't complain too much while you and your significant other are getting a break from chicken nuggets and tench fries. Hoping the person behind the Yelp account for this place of business doesn't PM me accusing me of being a competitor. But then again, the only restaurants that seem to get angry at me are Italian and I'm starting to worry they may try to "wack" me. So naturally I'm picking on Tex-Mex now. Anyways...2.5 stars, not 3. Great salsa. Bland and questionably prepared Tex-Mex at a decent price. read more

I've ate at this restaurant probably 5 times. Usually we eat there but today decided to try to get it to go. Was very happy with the to go order. Everything was packed well. The beans and salsa were packed so they didn't leak. The service inside has always been good. Have tried several things off the menu and I always leave full and happy read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon. Was seated right away. There were 6 of us. Pictured is a beef chimichanga plate with a frozen mango margarita. Food was flavorful, rice and beans were great.

We came for dinner for 4, we had Quick seating and superb service. We really enjoyed the chips and salsa so we didn't venture to have an appetizer. We had sangrias and I highly recommend them they have a great mix with a small swirl of margarita in there. We had, quesadilla, two mixed plates with tamales, enchiladas, tacos, fajita chicken and beans and rice and the burrito dinner. Everything was first class and portion sized superseded expectations. With all we had we all loved the taco meat frankly we could have had a platter of tacos and been equally as happy. This is a great stop for Mexican, we were very pleased with our night out. read more

This is a great find. We did some shopping at the outlet mall. Hungry for fajitas we found Las Mananitas. The food came out fast and fresh. We had the fajitas combo and house margaritas. Everything was great. The food, service and delicious House margaritas. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend read more

I picked Las Mananitas for dinner because it was located between my friend and I, and we wanted to support a local business that was open for dine-in during COVID. The food & staff did not disappoint! We each got margaritas during happy hour (mango & strawberry) and fajitas (chicken for me, combo beef & chicken for her). Perfect portions, and tortillas are fresh & delicious! Staff was very helpful answering all our different questions about sauces and different things. read more

We usually come out here with a party of 8 or more. We love to make a reservation here because it's usually a spur of the moment decision we make as a family to go out to eat , and most places will not have room for us without a reservation. The food is food and authentic at this establishment and they are always friendly. Even with a party of 12+ they will make sure your glass is not empty and the best part is that they never have added gratuity to our checks, so you bet I always tipped them very well for not doing that. read more

This place is our favorite - great food, fast service, strong drinks, and the staff is so good at their job (and friendly)! Edgar is our favorite waiter, super attentive! Thanks guys! read more

Best Mexican restaurant in Katy hands down!! Just had the best customer service experience of my life. Attentive, bilingual, polite, humble, and a great cultural experience. The food was amazing and reminded me of back in the day Mexican home cooking, felt like I was Home. I grew up on the border and this was the closest I have ever gotten to that experience. Edgar or waitstaff 59 was so awesome I would hire him! You don't meet genuine people like that everyday. read more

Las Mananitas - Amazing fajitas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Katy, Texas

My mom's favorite Mexican food in Katy. Probably mine, too. Consistently good food, no matter what you order, for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The quickly refilled chips and salsa don't hurt a bit, either. Super-friendly service and an offbeat decor (hand-lettered signs everywhere, a thatch-roofed bar) top it off. We came here on a Friday night for my college graduation dinner, and everyone in our party of five was pleased, especially my grandpa, who tried mole sauce for the first time and was awed by the unusual flavor (at least for a guy who's lived in Georgia and Michigan pretty much his whole life). Family-friendly spot that's never as crowded as Katy's ubiquitous chain establishments. read more

Surprisingly good food! I have been here on several different occasions ans the service and quality is good. It is not the most beautiful place from the outside but it is better than most Mexican food places around. read more

This is a great family restaurant and as far as I can tell, the best tex-mex in Katy or thereabouts. The staff is friendly and service is quick and efficient. Although not to California standards, they have a heart healthy menu which goes a long way to eating better around here. Most of the spanish restaurants around here flavor their food with jalapeños and cheese. Not to say that this one doesn't do some of that they have a very unique, pleasant flavor to their food and many combinations of things that allows something for everyone. The pricing is pretty much standard for the area and there are no surprises. If you want some good eating at a good price, this is a great place to go read more

Went for dinner on a Friday night not knowing what to expect. We were seated promptly and our waiter was friendly and provided good service. It's definitely casual and you can definitely bring your kids/family to this restaurant. I ordered a Gran Marnier margarita on the rocks with salt. It was actually quite tasty!! I then split an entree with my friend so I tried the Tacos Al Carbon (chicken) and the Fish Tacos. My friend liked the fish tacos better but I found it a bit bland (the fish needs more seasoning). I preferred the Chicken. If I went back that's what I'd order. We also split a half bowl of the queso. YUM. It comes with real thick tortilla wedges that have been baked or fried (or you can use the regular chips from the free chips and salsa that comes to the table for dipping). All in all this place was good, I'd eat there again to try out some other entrees. Nothing crazy out of the ball park with what we had during this visit though. If we go back I'll update my review. read more

Always so nice and the food is always great!! They were open for Christmas Eve and I tipped them fat, but I just appreciated them being open. read more

Apparently, this is everyone in Katy's favorite Mexican restaurant. I went here for lunch with some friends and their kids and all of them said it was the best in Katy. And everyone in the restaurant seemed to know them by name. As for my opinion (cuz that's what yelpers want to know, right?), this is, after all, a restaurant set in a strip mall in Katy. Inside looks sort of like a Mexican village...lots of faux paint on the wall, a little palapa bar, and commercial norteno music. There's two flat screen TVs at the small bar, both of which were playing sports highlight shows. So the atmosphere gets about a C+. As for the food, it was pretty good, a solid B. The queso was close to excellent and really stole the show. You know the kind made with some sort of processed cheese. Yea, you would never admit you like it in public, but velveeta makes some damn good queso. Delicious. The menu has all your standard Tex-Mex fare. The enchiladas were good and cheesy, the refried beans were flavorful and the rice had just the right amount of spice. They had a lunch menu and the prices were very reasonable. Dinner prices looked reasonable too. So, if I were ever to find myself in the Katy area again and had a craving for basic, straight up Tex-Mex, I'd wouldn't hesitate to drive over to Las Mananitas again. read more

Not the best. We ordered meals that contained cheese enchiladas, tamales, hard taco and el carbon taco, chips and salsa. The enchiladas were okay but everything else was extremely greasy. The hard taco was so greasy it was not even crispy. The tamale was tasteless. The salsa had a tomato paste after taste that reminded me of marinara. The staff was very friendly and kind, the food just let them down. read more
