    Fish taco with rice, side of salad, and a cup of bean soup.
    Kat L.

    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.

    Kick ass Margaritas and Draft Lovestreet.

    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.

    "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!

    shrimp fajitas
    Arturo Y.

    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)

    First time trying this place & everything was perfect! The waiter took very good care of us & the lady (busboy) busing tables, she was very nice & kind even when my 2 year old tried to misbehave before we left. The atmosphere was great, the bathroom is fancy lol The bar area huge & elegant. I just loved this place & the staff members all very kind & patient to their customers. I highly recommend this place!!!! Food was delicious & prices are fair

    Famoso Burrito with rice and beans
    Chris W.

    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.

    Margarita of course....

    This is my favorite non-chain Mexican restaurant. From the over-the-top margaritas to the fresh…read morechips and salsa, we get the same thing every time we go, which is the paradilla fajitas. The service is always excellent. The food everything that I have had from here is so good all the time consistently. I have probably dined here at least 50 times in 16 years. And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you. Definitely try this place if you're in town. You won't regret it.

    This was my first visit to El Palenque in Spring. You get a friendly greeting as soon as you walk…read morein, this restaurant was packed and lets you know it must be good food. They have a really good salsa to go with their chips. I ordered Chicken Enchiladas with Queso Blanco and it was delicious, i'll definitely be back to order this again. If you haven't been here you're missing out as they have great Food and Service with an exciting atmosphere with plenty of staff that were very attentive!!
