    Chilaquiles bandera
    Jason N.

    Gave this place a shot despite low reviews- from my skim of all the reviews it looks like alot of the reviews were focused on long wait times perhaps when they first opened, bad staff service / understaffing problems. Some were how bland the food was as well. Went on a saturday afternoon and it was pretty dead. Granted, this restaraunt targets more of a breakfast / brunch & coffee/ pastries audience, it's never a great sign. Very large menu. No staffing/ service problems from when my friends and I went. Moving onto food - you get free tosadas with sour cream, some kind of salsa, and cheese Carailljo - not the best not the worst, expensive at $14 that I didn't think was worth Chilaquiles Bandera ($14) - supposedly their most popular chilaquiles dish on the menu. Comes with 3 sauces, coloraos, de la Sierra, and verdis. - added on the chicken fajita ($6). Bland, honestly can't believe how bland the chicken fajita was. Wish they gave a bit more meat for the price but perhaps I'm spoiled from other great Mexican restaraunts in the city. Refried beans quite bland as well. Presentation of dish was great. Out of the 3 sauces I think the Verdis was the best IMO Interior design is amazing, really loved their space. Since we went later in the day not many pastries were available from my quick glance. Coffee beans are apparently sourced from Tenfold Coffee Roasters so thats a plus in my book. They add a 3% credit card charge. Never mentioned anywhere on menu / server. I only knew about it from skimming reviews before hand but still gave this restaraunt a shot. I have almost never seen a "credit card" surcharge anywhere else in the city and this includes Chinatown so this is pretty laughable IMO. Parking is limited if it gets busy but I'm sure you can street park a block or two away from what I saw. Overall I wouldnt come back personally. Too expensive, too bland and a 3% CC charge I'm good.

    I was excited to try this restaurant after seeing an Instagram story that made it look perfect, highlighting only the positives and the vibe. Well, as with social media and TikTok, you can't always believe everything. Unfortunately, this restaurant disappointed both me and my husband. Let me start with the pros: the environment and vibe is nice. They did a great job with the decor and setup. The coffees were flavorful, and the orange juice was good. Now, the cons: the restaurant opens at 10 a.m., and we arrived 10 minutes early on a sunday, we found a line already waiting. Again, the restaurant opens at 10am but the doors didn't open until 10:07 a.m. Once seated, we waited and waited for someone to greet us and take our drink orders--30 minutes passed before I had to get up and speak to the host. She then took our drink orders, but the drinks took another 30 minutes to arrive. We never saw the server for our table. After waiting again and getting someone else's attention, we finally placed our food order, but we didn't get our plates until 12:15 p.m., even though we had been there since 10:07 when they opened their doors. You can literally feel the tension of others in the restaurant while waiting for someone to help because the service was horrible! By the time our food arrived, we were ready to leave. The portion sizes were okay. At the end, when we asked for the check, we waited another 30 minutes because they were trying to figure out our order since we didn't not get a proper server. One of the staff even asked, "Who took your order and who brought your food?"--which was literally random people. Would I recommend this place? No. I'd much rather go to Cuchara, just 10 minutes away.

    Ahhh I wanted to like this place so much. It's beautiful inside, the food is authentic Mexican (well they claim to be, I mean I'm not Mexican so can't confirm) and it overall looks like this restaurant would have been great if it were not for the horrible service. Unfortunately, we came on my sister's birthday. Yes, my chef sister's birthday and she was so excited to try this place out. However, we did not leave at all happy. Here's everything that went wrong in the 3 HOURS we spent being here: -parking is very small and limited and there was absolutely no way I was going to get a parking there. Ever. To this day. My sister was the first one there and she was looking for parking for at least 15 minutes. There is street parking and there's an abandoned building with parking across the street that didn't have any signs to not park there so we risked it and well, it didn't get towed. -when I asked the "server" if we were fine to park where we did, she looked unsure and sorta shrugged and said yes it was fine. She took our drink orders and then we never saw her again. -We had no actual server the entire time we were there. Twice we asked people to take our orders and they would not take it and try to find someone else. The owner or manager also came up to us at one point to take our order and explained they had barely any staff that day. And this is why they get the second star, because the staff that was there definitely were hustling. Just not at our table. -the food came an hour late. This is after we waited an hour for some server ANY server to come and take our order!! Also, one of our friends that arrived later than us, never got their drink. We asked for more tostadas while we waited and we never got that too even though they said said they would happily bring more. -I did not get the correct order (I had ordered chicken with my chilaquiles which was quite an up charge so I'm surprised they didn't remember it) but the true tragedy was my sister, THE BIRTHDAY GIRL, had received a cold plate of chilaquiles. All in all, it was a pretty bad experience which sucks because it has so much potential from how beautiful the restaurant is and thoughtfully curated the menu is but it's clear they were not ready for opening.

    Food has no flavor! Giving my city of Guadalajara a bad name! First and last time here. Don't waste your time or your money. Want some real authentic Mexican food? Go to Xalisco at the woodlands!! Now that's flavor!

    I know Berry Hill used to be here so tell me why I thought this was this kind of place before even researching it. This is a full on restaurant with delicious coffee bar, fresh baked pastries, and some IG worthy decorations. We all got the chilaquiles of a different variety and they were delicious. It is extra to add meat FYI. We got complimentary hand assembled stone ground tortillas and toppings for the-delicious! And then the baked cheese was out of this world too. The coffee with the coconut crème was on point. Overall really great but also be ready for European style service which is nice because you can sit and chat and not feel rushed. Parking was good but we also went on a Monday during lunch. One of the owners came over to greet us and honestly I felt like we were having lunch in someone's fancy dining room in their house. That's how comfortable it felt.

    Food was really good. We had the variety enchiladas and the grilled arrachera which comes with homemade corn tortillas. The service was on point.

    HEADS UP!! I was told weekends are with reservations only unless you sit at bar. So don't get upset if you go and not seated immediately or at all. Could be for this day only but I just sat at bar and got served by Andre's (guy with piercing on lower lip). Yes he was busy trying to attend everyone but he made sure you were good. Recommended pretty good choices on food and margaritas. Food was great and mariachi they had playing was good. Yes it's busy and yes it may take a while for food but if you don't have patience don't come. I loved this place, food and drinks. Will most definitely continue to come. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Even the parking attendant outside. Great decoration all around.

    They bring this in as an appetizer to start off, you can continually ask for more. 10/10.

    Appetizer to start off, you can continually ask for more. Cream is extremely delicious, the Salsa is a 10/10 not too spicy but spicy enough for it to have that "hit", cheese is also great! Our waitress kind of sucked but the owner, Antonio Sanchez came to speak to us & that made up for it! Highly recommend. The ambiance was fun & also 10/10.

    I'll break my review into three sections - Arrival: Bad from the start. I made a reservation days prior. When we arrived, I clearly spoke and let the hostess know my full name and that I had a reservation for the patio. She then wrote my name in the reservation book and told me it would be 25 mins.... "Is this ok?" I said no, I had a reservation. Then she led me to the inside table where she had seated some of our party. I told her I made a reservation for the patio because we have a dog. And she told me that's ok and just to sit inside. I had to tell her again... I have a dog we need to sit on the patio. We then moved to the patio. The communication skills of the staff are subpar. The restaurant was a madhouse and no one else was on the patio. There was enough staff to accommodate everyone there. Food: wile the food was amazing for the most part...much of it was put in wrong to the kitchen. For starters- it took an hour to get brunch after ordering . We decided they had forgot our order after a while. At least 6 people came out and saw our table had no food then ran back into the restaurant looking concerned during this time. We must have had at least 3 people wait on us. I'm not even sure who our main server was since we had so many. We never got several items we asked for multiple times. My partners "truffle fries" came out as a side plate of maybe a total of 10 fries that looked like a kids portion . They were the bagged fry type and were not truffle fries. We sent them back and made sure we were not charged. The ribeye tacos that were 10$ per piece were completely fatty and full of gristle. The presentation was bad. We also sent that back. I loved the salsa and my rancheros plate it was excellent. However, it didn't make up for the haphazard service. The final: The manager was sent out and she talked us up for several minutes to try and smooth over the situation. After all the blabbing (as she walked back inside) she asked "can I get you anything" ...we said yes we never received a few items we had asked for. At that point, she literally told us "my English is bad I can't understand"! How bizarre and what a lie. You literally just spoke English to us for 5 minutes before leaving the table. She clearly basically just didn't want to be bothered. I would try this place once more in a few months to see if they have their act together. if they don't, I would NEVER go again. It's a shame because they have a great patio and the facilities are lovely. This place needs to decide what it actually wants to be: If this was a cheap neighborhood taqueria, I would accept this type of experience. If it wants to be what it's trying to present itself as (an upscale Mexican restaurant) in a gentrified area, then it needs a lot of work.

    Very welcoming and friendly staff. Food is authentic Mexican dishes from Jalisco very generous on their portions and very tasty!

Met the ladies here to celebrate, & break bread…read more Thank you Jamila for selecting this original location of the Original Ninfas, to host, (our last supper, before your relocation from Houston to Florida.). A place I grew up in as a little girl in Beaumont but never have I've visit this "original" location. Stepping in to this spot felt like a restaurant in the country of Mexico. I ordered the El Henry. I absolutely loved my dish, only thing I would've chance was the cheese enchilada definitely would've swap for a chicken or beef one, or maybe even a flaunta. I really like the Mexican rice, it had little potatoes and carrots in it. Some of the best Mexican yellow rice I've had. They offer a cinco de mayo drink special. The only thing that seem to make it special was the drinks apparently were limited edition menu items. Nothing was special about the prices. The regular menu drinks were a dollar(s) less. The margarita I ordered first was peach coconut. I didn't taste the coconut at all. I swap for the peach strawberry ($14 or 15) which was great, sweet& strong. One did me just right. You get to select up to two flavors for additional $2 (for both verse each, that's a plus. Not worded on menu). If you select a third flavor an additional $2 would be added ($4 in total) I appreciate separate tickets provided after confirmation and no additional gratuity automatically added, which he got tip equally the same or more. When asked about the "empty" patio that was available, he informed us that the entire deck was reserved. Upon departing I noticed from the parking lot individual tables, of separate parties were occupying only 3 tables. It was 8 of us sitting at 2 tables. Which the table was pushed up against the wall, and one side was inaccessible, which took away spacing. Service was lovely space was really tight. Good thing some of the ladies didn't order full meals. Definitely wouldn't have been able to fit every plate.

The flavor of our steak fajitas was excellent, after dinner Ninfa's offers a free shuttle bus to the baseball park. They drop you off and pick you up after the game.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though!

Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous.

I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo.

Still, based solely on the food, my foodie friends and I agreed we would absolutely be back. Their Bibendum nod is well-deserved!

    A Cali girl-lala enjoying some Tex Mex…read more While in HTX I was able to meet up with a friend from college. He mentioned margaritas (not pictured) and food! So we met at Candente. Upon walking in the restaurant was clean it was pretty packed for a Wednesday night but the aroma of the food! OMG! Our server was really nice and patient because my friend and I talked for about 30 minutes before we finally ordered our food. He has the beef enchiladas with rice and black beans. He cleaned his plate...literally not a grain of rice in sight! I had the smoked chicken verde enchiladas and WOW! What an amazing dish. I consider myself a Mexican food connoisseur especially being from California. I have always said Tex Mex?.....eeeeyuck! But Candente has changed my tune! I will definitely be back to visit when I return!

    Glowing red. Burning. Candente…read more Let me start by saying that I'm not into Mexican food unless it's an auntie or grandma making it at their house. I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.
