I have eaten here so many times and it's perfect every time. Tonight was the first time I ordered to go and...it was perfect. It was plated perfectly, same size portions as if I was eating there (sorry not always the case when I order out). Had a great dinner, thanks! read more

Man what a hidden gem this place is! So far my wife and I have ordered a few items and they have been amazing. Staff is super nice and friendly, service was great and the location, though kinda ticked away is really nice. Their guacamole and ceviche are amazing! We will definitely be back! read more

We are currently located in one of the busiest streets in the area with loads of restaurants to choose from. Who wouldn't want to be here? A few weeks ago we decided to order mexican food for dinner. Since we aren't familiar with which restaurant serves the best food, we picked one that serves "chimichangas," my hubby's favourite mexican dish. It just happened that out of the 5 major mexican restaurants in the vicinity, Los Generales is the only one have this dish on their menu. We called in an order for pick up. We were amazed at how good the food tasted, the portion of food on the plate, and the combination of dishes that it came with. Right then, we put this place on top of our list as our favourite mexican restaurant. I am thrilled to say that lunch was great! The staff were very accommodating and had a great sense of humour! The place has a wonderful atmosphere...i would love to visit for dinner sometime and see just how the place comes to life If you haven't given this place a visit...do so, you will not regret it. read more

Never been disappointed. Great food! Every time! Great service is also something they really shine with. Family talks that last until closing time or a quick drink with a pal during happy hour. You will love the authentic Mexican food here. Try #1 in Houston. read more

It was horrible. I ordered my drink and the bartender disregarded my order. I ordered food. And it came out salty and undercooked. Needless to say, I sat at the bar and after I ordered my drink I never saw him again. I would not refer this place. read more

Food was delicious. It was above average. I would go back. Everything is costly. Next tome I will try another dishing have fajitas this time. read more

We frequent here quite often. I love their crispy tacos cheese enchiladas, and queso. My husband loves their tamale plate and street tacos. The staff is always welcoming, super friendly and attentive. read more

Great Mexican restaurant, the Margaritas are not for the light hearted, they pack a punch. The staff are always very friendly and service is great. I have never had a bad meal and the salsa rocks, what I love is they have "Lovestreet" on draft, and the price is really reasonable, even better if you catch happy hour. With so many options out there this is my go to Mexican restaurant. read more

Los Generales is a great place if you want great food and service. I typically have their street tacos with some extra spice. They are the best. If you request some great tasting extra spicy salsa, they have it. I will occasionally eat their Shrimp and Beef Fajitas. They are incredible. I have a picky 3 year old and he loves their chicken fajita taco. My older kids love their tacos and quesedillas. My wife loves their margaritas while I enjoy their cold draft beer. Roberto behind the bar and server Javier are friendly and always provide great service. The owner will also stop by and say hello. The owner's daughter works here is well and is very attentive and friendly. This is a really good family restaurant. Keep up the great work! read more

"Home sweet home." "Welcome to the family." "Goodnight John boy." "Sometimes you wanna go..." "Good times..any time you meet a..." "Welcome back..to that same ole place..." This is why you are seeing stars up there for this spot. This was the shock I walked into while just passing by while in search of a new spot. Far back in the strip center sits Los Generales. Do you get it yet? Of course not...so let me explain. On the outside this place looks like the run of the mill Mexican place with absolutely no character. But within seconds of opening the door, your mouth drops. "What the heck just happened? This place looks comfy." It's got a tavern feel and a staff that's like you just walk into a family reunion. And get this ...its not Tex Mex. Yeah I know you may find something on the menu that is but in it's core...it's not. Now let me be honest. The salsa here is not good. Simple as that. It has no flare at all. Neither does the green gaucamole sauce. It needs serious work. But what they have right...is..... Margaritas and Quail!!! YES! Best quail I've had in Houston. They grilled it excellently. If you are a quail fan...this is a place that's worth the drive. And with Jumbo Margarita's at 6.50...its a done deal. You walk in this place you will not want to leave, especially if you sit on the bar side. Its got a real relaxing tavern feel with pretty comfy chairs. Get this ....I was there for 4 hour! Just chilling, sipping and snacking. The fajitas are pretty tasty too. Not the best but definitely worth ordering AND its real beef. Its not that lime taste that I run away from but a beef taste that totally has a great grill flavor. It's kid friendly and non-smoking and the staff is very attentive. I will certainly return on a Saturday just to get away and relax. If you are a Bourbon drinker you must try some of their bourbon infused Margarita's. I thought I was the only one with that idea. Yum, yum, yummy. My only recommendations to management is to pick those giant rita machines off the floor. Just something about that that doesn't sit well with me. Those things where designed to sit on a counter or table to show off and it makes a better presentation for customer to see it twirl. Hiding them is not a good idea and brings to question if its clean. I'm looking forward to more quail! Dont hide and Prosper! read more

Really good fried fish or shrimp tacos. Chipotle sauce puts it over the top. Frozen gold margaritas are really good too.

Stopped in this place a few yrs ago out of hunger and convenience. I'm a fool for Mexican quisine so this place was close by. The overall ambience could use some updates but the service is excellent and the food is fantastic. After that visit, I took my husband the following week, then a month later we welcomed the kids. This has been our GoTo for the past 4 years now. Parking is convenient, wait time is quick and the entire staff caters to your every need. I've noticed some improvements to the website and menu, so I am hopeful that the furniture and overall look will improve soon. Whether they do or not, me and my family are customers for life! read more

Our most recent visit: Ordered shrimp fajitas (6), they were pretty good - nice and tasty. Service was excellent - came around to double check if we wanted our drinks refilled (diet coke, ice teas) read more

Going here for an early dinner is the perfect idea to get quick drinks and food. Dinner around 6pm will get you seated immediately, and your food and drinks will come out much quicker than you could imagine. The chips and salsa were decent, but nothing memorable. The frozen margarita was good, but not from enough. My typical standard for a Mexican restaurant is always the sour cream chicken enchiladas...however, they did not have that on that menu. Instead, I went with the Famoso Burrito with chicken, and it was fantastic. The queso on top reminded me a lot of Taco Bueno's queso (which thankfully I enjoy). The refried beans weren't that good, but the Mexican rice was great. Overall, this is definitely a good place for a quick drink and meal, which will be quite tasty all around. I'll definitely be back again next time I'm in the area and craving Mexican food. read more

Los Generales - Famoso Burrito with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

We have been regulars for years, however, the service was subpar tonight. Out of the 3 families there, mine included, the bald Hispanic man working noticeably catered to the 2 other families and left my family wondering why there was a discrepancy in service. I have worked in hospitality and server positions before, so I understand the job. Unfortunately my tip had to reflect the service we were given. Even after waiting patiently, I was still forced to get up and pay for the meal myself. The other two families had their checks picked up and brought back to them. It doesn't seem like a huge deal, but we definitely felt like we were overlooked for some reason. Sad thing is my parents and brothers will probably be back. Me, not so much. There are too many options around here for me to give my hard earned money to an establishment that doesn't value certain customers. read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND! I am never one to complain about food or service. This was Horrible first experience service was terrible waitress only checked on us 1 time the entire time. Never got a drink refill and the plate was picked up when I was in the middle of feeding my child with the fork in my hand. We were the only Hispanics dinning there and the waitress seemed to pay more attention to the predominantly white customers. Las Flores on stubener is way better food wise and service. I also scrolled the the reviews and noticed there seems to be some racism at this facility. read more

Not really sure why this place doesn't have any recent reviews....I didn't even know it has been open that long! Where have the years gone? I've lived around the corner for 14years or so! We decided to try it this Pat weekend again and am sad to know I haven't been by sooner. It was really good. Extremely quiet inside so we sat outside and the server and staff were very nice. Loved the mango margarita suggestion and the plates were hot and food well flavored. Will be back, much sooner this time. Only wish tortillas were house made,like my favorite spot, which is why I only rated 4. Other than that, all was great! read more

I had bookmarked this place awhile ago but actually only came here that night because another restaurant nearby that I also wanted to go to hadn't opened yet even though I was told it had. Upon entering I noticed this restaurant has two sides. On the left is the restaurant are and on the right is the bar area. Both areas are separated by a wall. I went left and after being presented a menu went with my standard first meal at any Mexican restaurant...the chicken fajitas. My first test is always the chips and salsa. Here they give you both red and green. I liked the chips and the red salsa (4). The green salsa was kind of bland. It just didn't taste green enough. I want to taste the color green and I didn't here (2). The food arrived within 5 minutes of the chips and the platter was barely sizzling. I don't like that. I want the sizzle!! The charro beans were very good (4) and I enjoyed them. The chicken fajitas with onions were seasoned well and I enjoyed them. They came with some guac and pico and made for a good meal (3). My service was good as I was checked on several times during the meal (3.5). My meal was good but when it came to giving an overall score I leaned more toward a 3 than a 4. Currently the average Yelp score for this place is 3.5. I think that's spot on relative to my experience. I would come back to try something else but I rarely am in this particular area therefore I doubt I will. read more

Stopped here one day after an epic fail at another Mexican Restaurant about a block down the street. I was really just looking for a margarita. Walking in first impression, interesting. To the left is a nice size dinning area and to the right a rather nicely decorated bar area. I was promptly seated and the server was ready for my drink order. Chips and Salsa - You get green and red of course. The red is roasted and served warm and not bad and could use some salt. The green was so so, but I'm not a fan of it period. The chips are just that and adding a little salt won't hurt. On to the beef. I order a standard beef fajitas taco just to try the meat. My order arrives and I dig in. The tortillas are fersh and home made so that's a plus. The fajitas came chopped up but had a good flavor. Then on to the margarita. It came nicely frozen not half watered down like some places. These margaritas have a different flavor from your typical margarita. They have more of a citrus (orange) flavor than lime. So it isn't tart but it is surprisingly D-lish. The service here is wonderful and very friendly. I actually returned for a second visit and this time ordered the fajitas grilled with onions. Now those were amazing. So this spot is going to be on my list to frequent more especially for fajitas. They are reasonably priced and worth every cent. read more

Los Generales - Margarita, pineapple, watermelon, lemon, lime, salt on the rim! - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

I've never had a worse experience with a restaurant in my life. I took a large order home worth $196 and not one of the meals was edible. The chicken fajitas had the worst rubbery texture, the ground beef enchiladas were bland and cold but the worst was the beef enchiladas. I opened the container and it smelled like rotting beef. I checked with the entire family to make sure I wasn't going crazy and they confirmed that the beef was spoiled. I turned around and went back to the restaurant where they exchanged the beef fajitas for 2 cheese enchilada plates. I was grossed out but was happy that they at least tried to make it right by exchanging the meal. However that was short lived because when I got home, I found a hair wrapped up in one of my cheese enchiladas. I was throughly disgusted at this point and went all the back to return both enchilada plates. I did not expect to have the entire meal comped but they only gave me my money back for the one enchilada plate which wouldn't even pay for the gas that I used to go back and forth to the restaurant twice. It's sad because this restaurant used to be really good and now they are charging El Tiempo prices for poor service and inedible food. Do not waste your money or time here!! You're better off eating at Taco Bell because at least their service is good and their food is edible. read more

This is a hidden gem for good Tex-Mex. Service is good, prices are reasonable and food as well as margaritas have not yet disappointed on several visits! read more

I wanted to love this place because the margaritas were exceptional but when our fajitas came out there was a rat dropping in the tortillas. Nothing left to say!! We left without eating. read more

Los Generales - Sangria Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

It was Friday and we were hungry...so maybe my I was expecting everything to move quicker. Unfortunately, we waited for a bout 15 mins to have our order taken. We did get water and chips quickly, but they were burnt. Then when we got that taken care of the food that came out had really small, what almost seemed like forgotten about, portions. My husband had a huge taco salad that was really only shredded lettuce, a few bites of small chicken pieces and a few other toppings. I ordered beef fajitas and while there was meat on the plate, I was give 2 flour tortillas. Sheesh! After asking for a few more since I was sharing a plate with my youngest, I was charged $1 for 4 more. I guess I would be okay with these oversights if the place was packed and supper busy, but there maybe 5 families in the joint. Sadly this will be our first and last time. read more

First of all, their drinks are really good. No complaints there. But I have ate their twice now and both times I got sick. In both instances I had their beef: once with a hamburger and the other with beef fajitas. I have only had confirmed food poisoning once in my life but my experience with the beef at Los Generales came close to that experience. (I should mention I am a registered nurse as well.) I have never had chicken there so maybe that is okay but I can tell you I would never eat there again. Meet for drinks yes, but no more eating there. Been there, done that. read more

I'm really pissed at this place right now. I ordered here today for the first time using door dash. Well long story short they didn't include everything in my order that I paid for. & nobody is answering the phone when I call. Piss poor service if you ask me. Won't eat there again. Again, really pissed! read more

I've driven by this restaurant several times and we decided to try it last night, around 9:30. We sat at the bar and the bartender was none too happy to serve us. He was clearly annoyed when asked what type of margaritas they had. He snapped at us when we said we wanted them frozen. The drinks had a funky taste and an even funkier after taste. Although, we didn't want more margaritas, he completely ignored us for the rest of the time there. The bar itself was filthy, dusty with lots of used glasses. I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like if the dirty bar was in plain view. Never.again. read more

Best Mexican food in Spring. They are the only Mexican restaurant we eat at anymore. The best!

We have eaten here over 300 times and I just don't understand some of the negative reviews. The food is excellent and so is the service. The chicken soft tacos are the best I have ever had anywhere hands down! My favorite dish is the steak fajita enchiladas in beef gravy. The shrimp enchiladas in ranchero sauce is my next favorite dish. The stuffed avocados appetizer is a whole meal in itself. My wife likes all the enchilada dishes and varies her order. Thursday night is half price enchiladas. We order the three enchilada meal and take home half it. read more

I. Love. Los. Gen. There are 2 types of Mexican food in Houston: 1. Bougie-Mex - Pappasito's, El Tiempo, etc. 2. Crappy-Mex - the dime-a-dozen Mexican joints on every corner where the margaritas are so strong that you don't even notice the food Los Generales falls somewhere in between. It's casual enough to wear your workout clothes, but nice enough to invite friends to join. The prices are great, the margaritas are amazing, and the fajita meat is good quality - which are the 3 factors I use when judging a Mexican restaurant. read more

Drinks were amazing. Food was disgusting, my daughter threw up on the spot. And I got sick as well.

I'd give 10 stars if that was possible! Best Mexican place in the area - hands down. Excellent fajitas and margaritas (the essentials!) and wonderful service. This is our go-to place and we've never had a dish that wasn't absolutely delicious! They're amazing and willing to try new things (ex: they made us breading free keto friendly jalapeño poppers with steak and cheese on the grill tonight!). Our orders are always right, the first time, and the servers are attentive and proactive. Big bar area with big screen TVs for sports games too! Delicious food, amazing service, and tasty drinks (and drink specials) makes this place a slam dunk. We eat here regularly, so can vouch for this as a consistent experience! Give it a try and it'll be your new go-to Mexican restaurant! read more

A very good Mexican food place. The food is great, as is the staff. It's in a weird location so you have to look for the sign to find it.

Outstanding. Best Mexican restaurant around. Fabulous food, super service and terrific atmosphere.

For a neighborhood Mexican restaurant, they provide nice plump grilled high quality chicken fajitas, great queso, and best skinny Rita's around! Only gave them 4 stars because I've only been here 3 times but for a place not called Los Cucos, Pappasitos, or Lupe Tortilla........this place is great and beats our previous local joint Rico's!!!!! The management here has it together! read more
