Chicken Enchiladas

Little Maria's is a great spot for breakfast tacos, sandwiches, and a nice daily hot plate lunch. The Chef enjoys trying new things and keeps the menu fresh along with his classics. In an unassuming location on the first floor of an office building, it's what you've come to expect when finding a lil gem in Houston.

What an amazing hidden gem! We found Little Maria's Cafe this morning and so glad we did. I ordered the crest your own omelette and added potatoes and a side of Mexican rice. My dish came with delicious fresh handmade salsas and it was incredible! My husband had a breakfast taco, chicken salad sandwich, and finished it off with a giant chocolate chip cookie. We will definitely be back.

Omelet and Maria's Breakfast with home fries plus avocado subbed instead of sausage. SUPER YUMMY SALSA

Big portions, super fresh, personal and friendly service! This cafe is tucked into the first floor of an office building but don't be fooled! They're open on weekends and the food and service is home-cooked and family-run. They exceeded expectations.

This is a great find. Hidden in the first floor of an office building, this is a small sit down breakfast/lunch delight. Counter service with the friendliest staff. The prices are fantastic. The breakfast tacos were delicious. The egg sandwich was huge and incredible. We'll be coming back here often.

A small gem hidden away in the CNPC building on Wilcrest! Fresh food! Great morning tacos and an awesome green salsa to go with.

I have a fondness for great sandwich/sub shops and found a gem with Crave & Craft Artisan Deli…read more They caught my attention during a Yelp search for delis that went beyond the traditional menus. The restaurant is large enough to make it a destination for lunch not just takeout orders. Their decor is very attractive with reminders of a bakery of displayed breads. Their menu has many tempting suggestions and there is a build your own option. Deli meats and toppings are displayed behind a glass shield so simply select a bread and make some delicious decisions. My sandwich was the Pastrami Royale 5/5 which was new and going to be a hit because it is tasty and hearty. This is one shop that I will go out of my way to try more of their menu.

We had a meeting in the area and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat in the car on the way back…read more We're not into fast food so we just did a quick Yelp search to see what was close by that was a step or two ahead of a drive through window. This place was only 0.4 miles away and has great reviews so we headed over. Oh my gosh, I'm glad we chose this spot. That was the best sandwich I've had in a long time! I ordered the first thing on the menu because it looked good, and I'm glad I did. They call it a "Chicken Run." It's made with ciabatta, grilled chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, and "garlic sauce" (which, to me, was a garlic aioli). I enjoyed it more than I would have enjoyed getting a hamburger somewhere else. The ciabatta was perfect! Far better than any hamburger bun. The pepperjack cheese was spicier and meltier than most and seemed to be high quality. And the flavors all melded together perfectly. A very nice lady made our sandwiches, wrapped them and bagged them. She was friendly and helpful. The place was cute. And they had board games to play with :-) My wife had the Empire Club and said she enjoyed it. They also had a reuben that looked really tempting and a chicken pesto sandwich on a baguette that caught my eye. But I'm still glad I got the Chicken Run!

The restaurant was busy, but it was not full…read more When we arrived, the host looked around as they led us inside, appearing unsure where to seat us. We were ultimately shown to a table directly in front of the kitchen. As we sat there, I gradually began to notice some troubling things. Another Asian group was seated at a table next to one of the kitchen entrances. Later, when they finished their meal and left, another Asian family was seated at the same table. In addition, a Black family was seated next to another kitchen exit. A woman in that group asked to be moved to a different table. The food itself was very good, and the server who took care of us was pleasant and kind. My concern was specifically with the way the host assigned tables. Seeing this seating pattern repeated even though other tables were available made me strongly feel that race was influencing the seating decisions. I found the experience very upsetting. Of course, it is up to the restaurant to decide how it will assign tables in the future. I would be glad if this experience prompted the restaurant to recognize the issue and make changes. On the other hand, if nothing changes, I will consider this to be part of the restaurant's character. I am leaving this review to share what I personally saw and experienced.

The very best. Our spot in town. Ziggy's the man!!!…read more All good. Our usual is chopped liver, belly lox & bagels, kreplach, split pea soup, pastrami/corned beef Dagwood, and a black & white. Gotta have the pickles. We thank K&Z's team for hitting the mark EVERYTIME.

My partner wanted to grab lunch here so we tried for the first time this place. We got a simple sandwich and elote which the staff said it should take 15-20 mins. We waited and waited it past 40+ mins and I went to ask. - First was that they lost our order number and they couldn't find it. - Second the manager began to say our order was taken by someone else and then that my partner grabbed it. Switching her words back and forth and not believing what we had said. I asked how did we grab our stuff if I still have the device to notify when our food is ready. - Third she completely stopped talking to us and went to go help at other customers. I told her we want our money back and she said, "well I'm not going to refund for the drinks you had". Ma'am, that's not how you run a business. Just admit you messed up and take ownership of your mistakes to help a customer out. - Fourth she mentioned that other tickets have been lost today and other foods have been stolen before. This just shows how disorganized this placed is. We were able to ask for our money back but it was a battle about it. I was disappointed because we wanted to support your business but at this service? Heck no! Do not come here. And from reading other reviews now we did not miss on the food.

The Kunafa Crepe is by far one of my new favorite desserts!…read more We walked in to get a quick bite to eat! The menu is huge and legit has anything you can image on it. The dessert waffles on display caught my attention. As I pointed them out to my wife a male employee or owner pointed out a plate and said, "try the kunafa, it's a Turkish dessert. You must try the kunafa crepe. It's mind blowing." So without hesitation we ordered the kunafa crepe and a lamb gyro! When the crepe came out be explained that the kunafa has cheese on the inside and it covered in a crispy crust drizzled with honey. Then wrapped in a crepe which is drizzled with white chocolate and pistachios! I took one bite of the crepe and knew I would be back soon to get another!! The crepe is perfectly cooked and the crispy cheese filled inside is so light and perfect! Mind blowing was a description of this dessert. It was hard for me to start eating my gyro until I took the first bite which solidified my rerun back to this restaurant! Everything we ate was delicious and the service was too notch! Don't sleep on Busy Boy at all. You will be missing out

Paid for my food then had me try again when it already took it out the first time, once I try again…read moreit took my money both times and said it still wasn't working, took $50 from me and got no food and wouldn't give me a refund, and the place smells like sewage bad.
