    Don't let this unassuming little restaurant fool you. They make a delicious, perfectly executed breakfast meal. I got the huevos con chorizo and my friend got an avocado and bacon omelette. And they make their own tortillas from scratch. All perfectly made. Highly recommend!

    Any time I drive into Houston I have to stop. So good. A hidden gem. I've had their dinner and breakfast.

    Quiet little corner spot with some amazing and flavorful Mexican and American food. I tried the pancakes which were amazing and filling. The omelette is a must as well with a lot of cheese and bacon. You can tell it's made with love Will be back because the service is quick, there's not a long wait, and most importantly the food is wonderful!

    Enchiladas Verdes

    This is hands down some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while! It's a small hole in the wall but the food has BIG flavor. The service is really good but it's all about the food here. I ordered for pickup so there was some confusion on my enchiladas verdes and I ended up with all veggie instead of chicken but when I tell you those were the best enchiladas I think I've had in years!! I've been thinking about them a lot since I finished my last bite. lol I will absolutely be back to this hidden local gem!

    We had a lovely brunch at Magas Cafe. Parking was a breeze in front of the restaurant and we were seated immediately. There were a few other couples there when we arrived. It truly is a hidden gem as others have mentioned. Our food was tasty, fresh, and reasonably priced. I enjoyed my mole chicken, but my husband's cheese enchiladas were fabulous! We are definitely adding Magas into our regular rotation.

    First time at Magas cafe. We were near the area and found this place here on Yelp. It's a cute lil restaurant tucked in a corner, small parking space but lucky for us there was only one person dinning in. The place is very clean and inviting. At first it felt hot inside but then the AC kicked in which was nice. The waitress was nice and attentive. The food selection is great you have your Mexican dish as well as American dishes. We had the machacado and chilaquiles and it was delicious. The kid chicken tenders are made in house, not your frozen tenders that was a plus. With that being said we did wait a while for the food even though we were the only ones at the time there, but the food was fresh. The pricing is pretty fair. I definitely recommend, just make sure you have time to chill and relax.

    After a few months closure to repair their roof, Magas is back open! Despite living down the street for the past 6 years, I only recently visited. The food is solid, diner food and very reasonably priced. They have everything you'd expect but not a lot that you wouldn't. Corn tortillas are homemade but not the flower. Portion sizes are pretty sizable. Nice and easy bfast or lunch spot- not too crowded. They have a parking lot out front. No frills but does the trick.

    Chicken enchiladas
    Farrah A.

    We love Maga's. It's a neighborhood cafe with a menu so diverse, you'll find Tex-Mex and Mexican favorites (spicy chicken enchiladas, flautas, fajita salad, gorditas estilo san luis, chicken mole, chile relleno), Mediterranean options like Greek salad, kabob, hummus platter; and other homestyle favorites, like chicken fried chicken, fettuccine alfredo, grilled salmon, artichoke dip, burgers, stuffed eggplant, and a lot of other veggie options. Normally when a menu is that diverse, the food is mediocre, but we've been pleased with the many items selected there. And everything's made to order, so don't dine there in a rush. My go-tos that I can not get away from - as much as I want to try other items on the menu - are the spicy chicken enchiladas, tostadas, migas, and eggs bennie. I believe it's woman-owned - it's all women in the kitchen working really hard, and quiet honestly looking tired from being on their feet all day. We always tip way over 20-25% because the food is really inexpensive. It's also BYOB. And they got rid of the outdoor seating to - what looks like - expand their kitchen and upgrade the restrooms. It's also very kid- and family-friendly with booster chairs and kiddie foods (like chicken tendies).

    Barbacoa de borrego
    Agustin T.

    When I first saw the menu, I didn't know what it was. Mexican or American. Also don't have salsa verde. Disappointed with that. I ask for milk for my coffee. The waitress forgot about it and went about doing other things. They don't even offer chips when you first sit. The waitress was focused on just one table. Thinking that table deserved better service. Maybe she thought that the table would give her a better tip that our table. The lemonade taste to much like the zest of the lemon. Will not be coming here again. Biscuits and gravy are ok, about the same as whataburger. I wish they would've let me know that the barbacoa was borrego (lamb). The machacado was ok. They need to get a better cook. The place is small not bad. But also not great.

    Im not sure how this place has a near 5 star review because it was not good at all. The chips were dusty tasting and the salsa super watery. Then the appetizer sampler was literally the same cheese in different forms. It all tasted the same, except the calamari of course. We ordered cheese enchiladas and the green enchiladas. The cheese enchiladas were literally cheddar cheese with cheddar cheese on top and had no flavor. The green enchiladas had a bit more flavor, but the chicken fajita chunks made it a weird texture. The side of refried beans tasted like they just boiled and refried dry, no lard or oil. They also didn't have any flavor. The grilled veggies were literally frozen steamed veggies. The rice was nothing impressive, also lacked flavor. We literally couldn't even eat out entrees. It was that bad. I do have to say the service was good. One waitress for the whole place. The ambiance, there was none. It was a mixture of random art. Do I recommend it, no. Save your money for other great places in the neighborhood. Bill was $46, definitely not worth it.

    French Toast
    Juan P.

    Maga's looks like is not a restaurant from the outside but it actually is a pretty good place to eat . The ambiance is calm there was low music playing but no people at the moment . The service was great as well server was very attentive. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is due to food temperature some was cold but I think because they let it sit a little to long before being served , the flavor was great I wouldn't recommend the French toast that's my least favorite pancakes were way better . Overall food was great recommend you try it out . The omelette was the best with the fresh avocado.

    Guacamole Chicken Torta
    Rachel W.

    Was in the area and hungry for an early dinner. Based on the menu and the interior, this spot definitely seems more of a breakfast spot. French toast, chilaquiles and what seems to be a pastry counter are things I noted. It also kind of gives coffee shop vibes with scattered artwork across the walls. Our server was attentive and took our orders - tostada plate with mexican rice and borracho beans and the guacamole grilled chicken torta. I will say, if you're looking for Mexican or Tex-mex food, this cafe is more Tex than Mex. Lots of options on the menu like burgers and kabobs for people looking for that. For the tostada plate, the veggies on top were very fresh but a little heavy on cilantro (my own personal aversion, so not docking them on it) but were great with the salsa from the chips. the torta was ...... more like a deli shop sandwich. Don't get me wrong, the flavor was good. But I guess I wasn't expecting a baguette like bun. Chips and salsa passed the vibe check - the first thing I always look at. Bathrooms were clean. I'll be back for breakfast - overall, great portions for the price. Definitely worth the bang for your buck.

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

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! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!
