Bean and cheese and migas taco.
Chris L.

My wife and I were looking to grab a quick breakfast / lunch and noticed this place in the plaza of where we take our dry cleaning and our local coffee shop. We are new to the area so we tried it out. Wow. The food is amazing and the interior was nicely done. Not tacky and not blah. It also felt very clean and updated. The tacos are top notch and we can't wait to go back and try the tortas and other menus items. Ordering was quick and pleasant. Overall it was a great experience.

This is a great taco spot with really authentic Mexican flavors. Both the flour and corn tortillas are delicious, and the salsas are just as good. I also love that they sell Mexican candies, it's a fun little touch. The service was friendly, and even though the AC was a bit cold, it didn't take away from the experience at all.

Breakfast taco
Koolaid D.

First time at the establishment,customer service was on point. I ordered 2 breakfast tacos potatoes,eggs,cheese and one shrimp taco! All 3 were amazing,fresh and hot! Salsa was self serve,tables were clean,fresh smelling atmosphere. This is a hidden gems Overall food and service a 10/5. Only thing is the inside temperature was a bit warm,maybe the AC was not working,luckily I was the only one in there. Other than that,the place is amazing!!

Enchiladas Suizas
Justin K.

Good Mexican food that can satisfy your Mexican craving. Enchiladas suizas - the flavor was good in the chicken and the sauce. The rice was dry so that was disappointing and the enchiladas were slightly smaller than expected. 3.5/5 Vallarta walker fish taco - good crispy catfish (I think) inside and lots of coleslaw. The coleslaw sauce overpowered the taco but I liked its flavor so that was ok for me. 3.5/5 Chilango taco - beef taco with good Mexican flavors not anything special. 3/5 There are three salsas available but none of them are spicy so that was disappointing. They also do not provide any complimentary chips either so I have to dock a star for these two shortcomings.

Charro Beans

Came across this restaurant while looking for street tacos near my new job and I am so thankful I did! People from work were talking about that Cababana place and I removed them from my contacts list, immediately! Luichi and Joesy's street tacos are pretty good, although they only give you five (5) tacos, rather than the six (6) that I usually get from my favorite taco spot in Richmond. If there was another place nearby that gave me six tacos for the same money, I'd be there. One more taco makes a difference! The taste of the onions and cilanro and the way the meat is seasoned makes for a pretty tasty street taco. The side of charro beans was pretty tasty, also. On the first of my two visits, I ordered three menu items (street tacos, chips and salsa, and loaded fries) and I wasn't expecting them to be big portions. Now I see why the guy behind the counter asked, "Is it just for you?" His eyes got big when I replied that it was all for me. LOL. It was my only meal of the day (OMD). The chips and salsa were very tasty, by the way. The restaurant is small, but comfortable if there aren't a lot of people eating. The staff is very friendly and they keep the place clean. My only gripe is that if you ask for salsa, you get about a teaspoon in a little container (see image). Come on, now!

Stopped in this morning the tacos are great and affordable . They have a great selection of food

Cute Tex Mex Taco place close to Memorial drive with a taste of Mexico . Love the location easy to get into and out of. They even had Mexican pure vanilla for sale.

This place is AMAZING!!!! The nachos are incredible. Everything is well priced and the food is sooooo good. It's very clean and very fast. I love the fact it's family run and authentic.

I shouldn't have waited so long to try this place! I now have a new favorite close to home. First of all, who doesn't love tacos?! But wait... they have breakfast tacos ALL DAY! I love breakfast for dinner! The restaurant is small, but offers plenty of seating, including chairs and tables outside. The interior is bright with vivid colors. They have trinket items for purchase at the register. It reminded me of what you may see in a Mexico City store front. The order taker was very friendly helpful with suggestions. I ordered the chips and salsa, one Pirata (beef, no onions), one egg with sausage and one egg with bacon. Everything was so tasty! The chips were warm and the red salsa was cool with just the right kick. All of the tacos were fresh, delicious and the perfect size. The beef in the Pirata was chopped and had the best flavor. The sausage breakfast taco had cubed sausage with perfectly scrambled eggs and the bacon taco (also with scrambled eggs) was delightful too. I can't review this place without mentioning the salsas. They have a dedicated mini fridge for the 3 different flavors of salsas. You can get as many as you want. I love the "GREEN = HOT" is like the taqueria restaurants. It's hot, but not too hot and the flavor is so good, you won't be able to stop eating it. The "RED = MEDIUM" is what they give you with the chips. The blend has a perfect kick to it. Finally, the "CREAMY CILANTRO = MILD" is just as stated: creamy cilantro goodness! Each one was so good, there's no way I can pick a favorite. I am so excited about my new find! One suggestion I would have for the decision makers of this location: change the music. It doesn't change my 5-star rating, but the tunes didn't match anything in there. The music I heard was like a spa. With the bright colors and fun murals, I would think the music would be a more upbeat tempo. Again, doesn't change the fact that I will be back, but I did notice it was the only thing "out of place", so to speak. Great job, L&J's! You really have a good thing going there! I just can't say enough about this place. I wasn't expecting to be so impressed. LOVE IT and highly recommend!!!!! (side note: I wasn't ready to eat when I brought the items home. I put them in the oven on warm for a couple hours and they were still delicious! Imagine if I would have eaten them as they came off the grill!)

Left to right: bacon and egg, potato and egg, Mexican egg. The red and green salsa are spicy

I order tacos through the yelp app for take-out this morning. They have a big menu but since I was ordering breakfast it was small and simple. I ordered three bacon and egg, one potato and egg, and one Mexican egg which were all good. Nothing really special about the tacos in general but you can tell they cut their potatoes by hand as they were not in squares, but French fry like. I would like to see more places cut their potatoes like this. The eggs are fresh and flour tortillas were not soggy. The stand out for me was the green and red salsa which I mixed together to make an amazing spicy salsa. I cannot wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

The world is full of Mexican restaurants…read more Most are some version of Tex-Mex in a family-friendly, relatively similar environment. Nothing wrong with that. Mexican Sugar breaks that mold completely. This is the most legit, wonderful, bougie, over-the-top Mexican restaurant I have ever been to, and I mean that as the highest compliment possible. This was my second trip to Mexican Sugar. The first was in Grapevine. After this visit to the Montrose location, I have officially decided that when I am in Texas, I will seek these places out. They are that good. First, dress up. I doubt there is an actual dress code, but this is not the place where I am showing up looking like I just finished mowing the yard. Come here to be seen. Come here to show out a little. The place is beautiful and has that kind of vibe. Second, the drinks. Hell yes. Fancy, creative, excellent, and impressive enough for even the person who has seen every ridiculous cocktail presentation imaginable. And then there is the food. My God, the food. The salsa and queso are legit AF. The street corn is heaven in a bowl. Get several orders. I am serious. One is not enough. The carne asada was amazing. Honestly, I could keep going, but at some point this review is just going to become me yelling about how much I love Mexican Sugar. I LOVE MEXICAN SUGAR. OK, YOU GET THE IDEA. WHY AM I YELLING? BACK TO THE REVIEW.... Service was excellent too. The place is huge and was absolutely packed, but our server stayed attentive and the food came out surprisingly quickly. Make a reservation. Park in the nearby garage. Dress nice. Order the drinks. Get the street corn. Then get more street corn. Who is ready for another trip to Houston? I'll book the reservation at Mexican Sugar.

The restaurant is located in a quiet area in West University with a good amount of street parking. The restaurant itself is decorated with a lot of character and personality and they have seating inside and outside on their covered patio. Don't get me wrong, the service here is amazing. The servers are very attentive, and I appreciate the chefs coming out to explain their dish. However, the dishes themselves were basic and lacked specialty. My boyfriend and I got the Chef's Tasting Menu. I got the drink pairing. As a Chef's tasting menu, I would expect the restaurants' most precious meals. The short rib was dry and the rest of the other dishes were unmemorable. The only dish that truly caught my eye was their Tres Leches, but this was given on the house as it was our anniversary. The drink pairing I got was well worth and all of the drinks were flavorful and paired well. Overall, I'd hope that their chef's tasting menu would improve as they rotate their dishes. I would try to come back to give it another chance.

4/5 Stars | Delicious food, great vibes, but those PRICES?!…read more As a girlie who LOVES to eat and has no problem spending money on amazing food, Toca Madera definitely had me questioning some of these prices! I appreciate fine dining, beautiful ambiance, and a luxury experience, but WHEW! Maybe it's because I travel to Europe often, where I can practically buy two bottles of wine for the price of one glass here, but some of these prices felt like a reach. Let's start with the $44 truffle mac and cheese. FORTY-FOUR DOLLARS FOR A SIDE?! At that point, the mac and cheese better be the main character, come with its own reservation, and pay a portion of my mortgage. LMAO! I wanted to try it, but respectfully passed. Now, let's talk FOOD because they definitely know what they're doing in that kitchen! Fried Calamari: 10/10. WICKED delicious! I'm extremely picky about calamari, and they absolutely nailed it. Easily one of my favorites! Passion Fruit Fire Shots: 10/10. Of course, we had to try the trending fire shots! Delicious and such a fun addition to the experience. Salmon: My entrée, although I originally wanted the scallops. That changed REAL QUICK when I learned it was $59 for FOUR scallops. FOUR?! My bio literally says I'm a big back at heart. I came to EAT! For that price, I personally couldn't justify the portion. Sea Bass Tacos: My husband loved these! Generously sized with a nice spicy kick, but nothing overwhelming. Cilantro Lime Rice: 10/10. SO GOOD! We both ordered it, but honestly could've shared one side. Brown Butter Cake: 100/10. BABYYYY! This dessert deserves its own spotlight. Absolutely delicious! I'd genuinely return just for this cake. Might even attempt recreating it at home! Now, here's why I'm giving four stars. We were celebrating our nine-year wedding anniversary, and while the service was friendly and attentive, the dining experience felt rushed. It was very much, "Ready to order? Ready for your next course? Ready for dessert?" And I'm over here like, can a girlie enjoy her husband and her wine for a second?! Maybe European dining has spoiled me, but I appreciate taking my time, enjoying conversation, and savoring each course. Especially at this price point, I want to enjoy the experience without feeling like we're on a schedule. Then came the awkward anniversary dessert situation. We ordered the brown butter cake, but they brought out a brownie with ice cream that said "Happy Anniversary." Naturally, we assumed it was for us and started eating it. Our waitress realized the mistake and actually took it away from us MID-BITE! Having worked in the serving industry, I personally would've let the guests finish it, especially since the mistake wasn't ours. It was just awkward and unnecessary. And considering we were still charged for our anniversary dessert, the whole situation felt even stranger. For a restaurant positioned as luxury dining, a small complimentary anniversary dessert or champagne would've been a thoughtful touch. Not something I expect, but those little gestures elevate an experience. Also, this restaurant is DARK. And I mean dark as hell! Beautiful, sexy ambiance, but you might need a flashlight for that menu. I also witnessed drinks being spilled on guests at two different tables, so that was interesting! My final thoughts Food? Absolutely delicious! Ambiance? Beautiful, trendy, and definitely a vibe. Service? Friendly, but the pacing and attention to certain details could improve. Pricing? Definitely on the extreme side for what you're getting. For two people, we spent over $300, just FYI! Would I return? Yes, but preferably with a larger group so we could order different dishes and sides to share and experience more of the menu. I wish I could give Toca Madera 4.5 stars because the food deserves recognition. But between the pricing and a few service moments, I can't quite justify five. At the end of the day, I don't mind paying for luxury dining, but there's a difference between paying for quality and paying for the hype. Come for the food, stay for the vibes, and make sure your wallet has eaten before you arrive! Overall, a lovely anniversary dinner with some seriously delicious food, just a few things I wish had been different!
