Vegetarian Combo

Great Tex mex restaurant! The vegetarian combo is the perfect amount of food if you're hungry! The queso is delish and I get it every time!

Full size order of Bean and cheese nachos containing merely 9 chips at the cost of $13.39.

Food was good and average price except for the bean and cheese nachos. The full size order price was $13.39. Common sense, any business needs to make a profit but that was ridiculous! The order contained 9 chips with Bean and cheese. Price the ingredients for yourself at the store and you will realize that even at half that price you could still make at least 3 times that amount. Not to mention that this business purchases in bulk quantity so the ingredients or even less expensive than at a typical grocery store.

The $6 worth of salsa we were given...this doesn't even look like their salsa?

First let me start by saying that I love this restaurant and used to eat there all the time. I've only started ordering to go these past few years bc 3 kids in 3 years make it a little difficult to eat out. Mammacitas probably does one of the worst to gos I've ever had. I've ordered from them a few times and every time I've been disappointed. They are super cheap and cut corners every way they can. If you order 100+ dollars worth of food, you will be given maybe 2 small personal bags of chips and two tiny salsas. Today I ordered their chips and salsa for an additional $6 expecting to get...you know, chips and salsa. The picture attached is of the small bag of chips and inedible salsa that was given to us (how do you bag this up and expect this to be ok?). Anyways, chips and salsa aside, we had fajitas for two and an order of beef quesadillas. All was cold and mediocre at best. Unfortunately we will not be ordering from here again.

Lunch Reunion

Delicious authentic TexMex food at a reasonable price, love this place! A friend group of mine meets once a year here for the past 10 years for a mini catch up. We all used to work together and often had lunch here. So, it continues The menu is quite extensive, so everyone can find their perfect meal. The prices are very reasonable as are the portion sizes. The drinks are great and the staff is super friendly, hard working and speedy. Parking is ample and easy. The fajitas and salsa are my favs. There's table and booth seating and definitely a TexMex vibe. It's right off the NASA expressway, so easy access and away from all the normal Bay Area traffic congestion. Perfecto! It's a great lunch choice, stop in and give it a try!

This review is for their breakfast. First time here and so glad we chose this place. We are definitely coming back. Food was quick, hot and tasty. Service was nice and quick as well and very attentive. Would recommend. Will come back someday to try their lunch/dinner options.

My favorite Mexican food restaurant in town. We have tried almost everything on the menu and nothing disappoints. The mole is especially delicious! We always get great service with Michael at the bar! Also the close proximity to a car wash makes it easy to have your vehicle cleaned while you enjoy a meal.

Order that I received.
Summer B.

It is NO surprise to me that I find out this restaurant has 3.5 stars. Places a To Go order for the first time. I would find telling someone how to build a NASA rocket over the phone would be easier than placing this order. 1. The lady that answered the phone speaks pretty good English, but does not understand English very well. She had to get her shift manager, Claudia to help with the order. 2. As you can see from the photos: the order that I placed and the order that I received are two very different orders. 3. Called back and immediately asked for Claudia. She replaced the order and when I asked for a refund (since I would have to drive all the way back out) she said "I cannot guarantee that." - terrible customer service. I would give this place 0 stars, but the food is actually very good. So if you are willing to spend A LOT of time and patience with placing a standard food order, then definitely check this place out for breakfast. With a lot of other places to eat, I suggest this place get their To Go order act together.

Clear Lake area mexican food. The red salsa is always fresh, piping hot and really good. My favorite is the san antonio cheese enchiladas. It is big enough to share too! Mole here is more on the chocolate side, rich and delicious. Prices are very reasonable as well.

Is breakfast served every morning?

I have gotten breakfast from there during the week and weekends so I'd say yes. Note, I believe they open at 8 a.m. though. I'd check Google on the times.

They would not let me use the free queso. He said it is only for sinner, is that true?

Though I'm the Duke with 69 checkins there I've never been offered a free queso, but I've always had courteous treatment. As Brandon says, ask for a manager and explain what happened, what the waiter said and show them the offer.

Wow, just wow. We're here to catch a cruise in the morning…read moreand needed dinner. My wife spied the sign as we headed to the hotel. We ordered more food than we needed, but everything was amazing. Simply everything. Chips were warm. Wife loved the queso. The salsas were great. The enchiladas were likely the best I've ever had. The flautas were good. It was an amazing meal. And the server was sweet and kind.

There are restaurants where the meal begins the moment you walk through the door, and there are…read morerestaurants where the welcome feels like an invitation to reconsider your life choices. At Lupe Tortilla in Kemah, our host was gracious and welcoming. We asked if we could sit at the bar, and we were happily shown to two seats. So far, so good. Then came the bartender. She greeted us with the sort of expression usually reserved for someone who has just backed into your car in the parking lot. Plates and chips were tossed onto the bar--technically within the vicinity, though apparently not within reach. We were then asked if we wanted drinks. We ordered a dressed draft beer and a 50/50 Rita. The beer arrived beautifully cold and perfectly poured. The margarita, however, was roughly 90% frozen and 10% margarita--the precise opposite of what we were hoping for. It wasn't exactly the warm beginning one hopes for when settling in for dinner. The food may yet have a chance to redeem the evening, but hospitality is part of the recipe. And when the first course is indifference, even a good meal has a little climbing to do.

I recently had my first visit to Red River Cantina, in League City, Texas. I was primarily looking…read morethrough yelp for a restaurant that served Tex-Mex, and this was the first restaurant that popped up in my area with a "very good" rating. As I write this review, this restaurant currently has a rating of 4.0 stars with 380 reviews. Before coming, I also reviewed several pictures that other folks have posted on yelp, and I thought I'd give this place a try. The outside of this restaurant is well lit and inviting. Parking is plentiful, and they have several handicapped parking spots for folks who need that. Upon entry, I was immediately seated in one of their booths by their hostess. The busboy came out a few minutes later, bringing some fresh chips and two kinds of salsa. The busboy didn't seem too friendly; he didn't say a word or even crack a smile. My waitress came out a couple of minutes later, and her name was Eliza C. She was friendly and professional, and she was attentive to my dinnertime needs throughout my experience. The chips and salsa they serve here are amazingly good. While I decided what I wanted to eat for dinner, I couldn't stop eating them! I ordered one of their "Maximina's Build Your Own Cominados," choosing an order with two items. For my two items, I ordered an enchilada with beef picadillo, and I ordered a crispy taco with beef picadillo. I ordered my meal with a side of their Mexican rice and refried beans. I also ordered a Dr. Pepper with my meal. My meal was delicious. The refried beans were excellent, and they had a smoky/bbq taste to them. The Mexican rice was delicious as well. They did an excellent job on my enchilada and taco, and they provided a generous filling with beef on both. They were delicious as well. The Dr. Pepper was also refreshing, and I appreciated that they served it in a glass rather than a plastic mug. One thing I noticed in their menu is that they appear to pay attention to folks who have vegetarian and/or gluten free needs in their diet. This doesn't effect me, but it is appreciated, so kudos to the management for that. Unfortunately, I also noticed that they require a mandatory "large party fee" for parties of 8 or more, which is 20%. This didn't effect me either, but it would be annoying to me if I were in a large party. I think this is unnecessary, presumptuous, and a little annoying. It is essentially a tip that is mandatory, regardless of the quality of the food or the service. If you have a large party, just make sure you don't add another tip on top of this mandatory tip (for the large party) without realizing this. The management should reconsider this annoying practice. Overall, I had an excellent (almost perfect) experience here. I would definitely come here again the next time I'm in the area. In addition to this review, be sure to check out all my pictures if you'd like to get more detail on this location, some of which are attached to this review.

My husband and I went to Red River Cantina last night. It's been awhile since we've been there. I…read moreordered a watermelon margarita off the menu which showed it was $11.95. I noticed it was HUGE but I just thought they were generous with their drinks. When we received the check, I was charged $16.95 for this drink. I asked our server about the price difference and she stated "Oh, I gave you the Grande." OK, thank you but that's NOT what I ordered. Granted, maybe I didn't specify a size so that's my fault but she shouldn't have ASSUMED I wanted the grande size. It was too much for me so my husband had to finish it. I didn't make a big deal about it because I worked in the restaurant industry myself so I try to be kind and respectful but I think seems very sneaky to me. The server should ALWAYS ask what size they want and not assume they want the larger size. That's up-charging. I also wanted to mention that we received a FREE watermelon margarita on the rocks because I think they had an extra which we gladly accepted and weren't charged for. But that doesn't compensate for the $5 upcharge. Most people say I should have contacted the manager but I didn't want to make a big deal over $3 but it's the principle to me. It's just not honest and I don't like that. We still tipped her over 22% but I'm rethinking that now. Maybe I should have deducted that $5 from her tip since I think it was an intentional up-charge. Oh well... As far as the food, we ordered the brisket enchiladas. They were OK. We didn't love the barbeque drizzle on top of the sour cream sauce. It really threw off the flavor in our opinions so that was a bummer. The white queso, chips and salsa were all on-point! We go out to Tex-Mex restaurants every week and the other restaurants don't give us the larger size so it just seems sketchy. I don't think we'll be back for awhile because this left a bad taste in my mouth. Disappointing.
