I have been several times, each time hoping it will be better. Unfortunately, Manditos continues to miss the mark. The service is very slow. The food is ok but expensive (the banana split is not worth $16!). Positives: great chips! The kids build your own taco plate is very good, too! Great atmosphere read more

Let's take into consideration they've only been here about 2 weeks now, When we arrived the restaurant was pretty empty , we got sat down right away & took about 10 minutes for the server to come to us, they were also pretty distracted during the whole meal. As we were placing our order we had to repeat ourselves a few times (keep in mind, it was empty so it being loud wasn't an issue) we ordered queso as an appetizer, my husband ordered a hibiscus Paloma which honestly didn't have much alcohol in it, was very watered down, & this was after we asked the waiter for a replacement. Our main entrees came out rather quickly, I ordered a big burrito & my husband the tacos asados , he really loved his food while I on the other hand thought my food was a but room temp, could have used more flavor but over all good was OK. I don't expect to come back here for a few months and just hope the food and service gets a bit better. read more

Absolutely LOVE this salsa! The food here is excellent. It's not too fancy, but it's also not a dump. My family and I have not had a bad dish yet. The fajitas, margs, Spanish rice, burritos, queso, and guac, nothing disappoints! read more

I have been here a couple times and have never been disappointed. Today we ordered an appetizer box and it was a good amount of food , but also everyone enjoyed it ! I will definitely go back and will definitely keep this place in mind next time I need a large group order. read more

Totally disorganized, employees not trained right, bad food, overcharged for drinks, expensive all around, and a one hole women's room. They need to get it together before opening a restaurant. Pic is of mole enchiladas--there is no sauce at all. No mole. Asked for double rice instead of beans &was charged extra for the second serving of rice, and got beans that I didn't want. $19 for that plate! Hubby's burrito was dry ground beef, not picadillo. So annoyed, and over $100 tab for 2 people. To MattJ: please don't reply, just fix your issues. That should keep you plenty busy. read more

First time trying this place tonight. Not. Impressed. Service was horrendous. Our waiter kept totally disappearing, neither mine nor hub's food was right and it's BLAND. Do not recommend. If they make it till Christmas, we may try again. read more

Group of 15. Everything was excellent. Besides the manager checking with us many times to make sure all was well, there were 4 servers who worked well together. They were all friendly and efficient. The food was fresh and delicious. The tortilla chips and salsa were outstanding. Warm, crisp, thick and delicious. Our experience was totally positive. We will return. read more

The chips are exceptionally thick not at all . The margarita was served in an old fashion glass, the bottled margarita s in wine department at grocery are just as good, The staff is first rate all were very attentive.ordered the tres hombres the cheese and chicken were good the ground beef way to salty. They are very close to my home, and provide me alternative. read more

Food was very disappointing. Small portions with high prices Waiter we had was not trained properly and didn't replenish water and chips. Won't be returning. It's too bad because ambiance is wonderful and so is location. read more

Don't waste your time here! This was quite possibly the worst mexican food I've ever had! The beef enchiladas were a little meat wrapped in a flour tortilla. Terrible. This restaurant will not make it. read more

Good food! New extended happy hour with a great bar with fun cocktails. Good chips and salsa, friendly staff. They have made adjustments since they first opened so I would recommend giving them a second chance. read more

Well. They tried! Wanted a quick dinner so we thought we would check it out middle of the week. MOD sat us and was very attentive. Our waitress must have either just started or just unsure of herself. She was sweet and tried very hard. The margarita was good however their food was less than desirable- no flavor and boring. Ordered that beef fajita on the tostada and the first time it came out with ground meat and COLD. The second time it was cool almost like it had been precooked. If this place makes it through the summer- I'd be surprised! read more

Tried Manditos for the first time yesterday and it was amazing!!!! The super grande burrito was very tasty, and I'm not even a big fan of refried beans, so for me to enjoy them shocked me!!! The building was clean, restrooms were also very clean. The service was great, the manager and servers were also very nice. I Will definitely be returning to Manditos. Side note, I don't know how y'all make your tortilla chips but THEY WERE SO GOOD!!! read more

Really enjoyed it here. The place is very nice inside. Loved the quality of the dinnerware. Bar is very nice as well. Had the chicken street tacos and they were flavored very well, similar to pastor. Very tasty! Dessert was also yummy. read more

Ordered a tortilla for my 1 year old to snack on during dinner. Got charged $3 for it. Nickel and diming customers is not nice. Want to charge me to put a lemon in my tea too? Other thoughts: Enchiladas - plate was hot, the food was not. The enchiladas were OK. Our waitress was nice. Someone could have removed the chips and chip plates at some point. read more

Love Mandito's in Bellaire! We relocated to Honolulu a few years ago, but are home in Houston several times a year. They are our go-to for Tex-Mex whenever we're home. I grew up on 1960's Houston Tex-Mex, these guys really fit the bill. Everything on the menu is outstanding, though my inner kid tends to gravitate back to the cheese enchiladas. They have the best chips and salsa and refried beans in town, bar none, and I'm picky about those. My wife says the same thing about their Margaritas. Service is consistently top notch. Servers are always attentive without being intrusive - they always go that extra mile by offering a to-go bag of chips and to-go refill drinks as well. Their music deserves a mention, too. I don't know who puts their playlist together, but I'd love to get a copy. It's a mix of contemporary and classic Cuban and Spanish along with some Mariachi as well as Spanish-language covers of rock and roll favorites. I always find myself commenting on how much I enjoy the music every time. I've noticed there's a "regular" crowd there. I've frequently seen the same faces dining there over the years since they've opened. Mandito's has really hit their stride as that "neighborhood" restaurant that is so often spoken of, but so increasingly hard to find in this age of large chain operations. ¡Bien hecho! ¡Sigue así! read more

So happy with tonight's meal at Mandito's in Bellaire. New menu with lower prices, and luckily still have the "famous" burrito bowl with Beyond Beef as well as the crispy tacos with Beyond Beef. Luckily, the cucumber mint margaritas are as good as ever!! read more

Seems the negative reviews were when they 1st opened before they found their way. Now, it's great. Delicious, fresh, friendly. Classic Tex-Mex flavors! with super fresh ingredients. When I go back I'll definitely get the house margarita ( top shelf liquor, perfectly made, dried lime slice), the chips and guac (house made perfect chips, really flavorful guac and HUGE), the spinach enchilada, and fajitas. And I hope to go with 5 people so we can try 1 of everything! So right on,. read more

Big shout out to Brittanni! She was so knowledgeable and thoughtful! She really made our experience lovely! The atmosphere was really nice. We loved the patio! For the food: The food lacked some flavor. Everything was presented so nicely and it looked so good. I wish there was more seasoning and better flavor profiles. We ordered the street tacos, chicken enchiladas, and burrito bowl. Service was great! I think this restaurant has potential to create a true all around experience. read more

New menu looks great. I really enjoyed the street tacos and margaritas. Ambiance is a plus! We also learned that Chef Anthony prepared our food and it was outstanding. I will definitely be back! read more

I felt like it was like any other Tex-Mexican. The drinks were nothing to blow a horn for (margaritas). The food had no flavor and any other restaurant would do better. I will not come back; I will go back to Gringos. Sorry, I think the hype got to me and was expecting more. read more

The food is always so good when we come. The chicken fajitas are delicious! WE also had the skinny spicy margarita and it really good. Definitely a place to go to when in Round Top! read more

The drinks, service and food were excellent! The prices were fair. The ambiance was good. Cute place.

We came here unexpectedly looking for Mexican food by geographic proximity. Service was great, the host - a young man and our wonderfully attentive, kind server Britannia made our patio experience very nice. We were able to take our dog on the patio and they brought water immediately. We enjoyed the food and hubby is particular. He had a combo plate with cheese enchilada, chicken fajita and a crispy taco. He thought the ingredients were good quality and enjoyed his plate. I had green chicken plate. Very good. Great green sauce, lots of white meat chicken and very much to my liking. We would go back even though it is a bit out of our neighborhood. read more

Service was lacking just a bit, but was expected on just their second day. Let's give them time to work out the kinks. I agree with another post...the beans had a strange flavor and texture. I thought they tasted a bit "burned" instead of baconey. Took me a minute to get used to it. The chicken enchiladas were good...full of chicken. My only real issue was $5 iced tea...should be $2.50-$3. That may be nit-picking, but sounded like a lot to me. Would I go back? Yes, but I'll be more aware of what I order. One last issue. The payment system is electronic at the table, which for us was fine. However, our poor server was occupied for a long time at the table down from us with 6-8 separate checks. With everyone answering marketing/review questions and tallying their bill, It took him a while to process everyone during the busy lunch rush. read more

MORE LIKE BLANDITO'S... The chips were fantastic, the waitress attentive and good at what she does. That's where it ends. The rice was dry, undercooked, and al dente with hard, weirdly-cooked kernels of corn and what have you spread throughout. It was bland with an altogether wrong mouthfeel. The twice refried beans were bland and also had an odd texture. The cheese enchiladas had a nice texture, but weren't much better than cheese slices in a tortilla, which I can have at home or get from Taco Bell for a buck. The husband and I paid about $50, that does include tip, for an unseasoned, weird-textured meal during which we only drank water. Iced tea is $5 a glass. I may be from Texas, but that's where I draw the line. They shouldn't call themselves Mandito's. More like Blandito's. But the waitress was great. read more

My family ordered the steak fajitas to-go from Mandito's since it had just opened around the corner from our house, and while the food was decent (but very expensive for what you get), there were a lot of things about the experience that were not the best. I'm going to start out here with the biggest gripe we had- the refried beans. I don't know what these were cooked with, but they were basically inedible and we threw them away. It tasted like pure lard, had a weird texture, and looked like chili meat. My family was willing to give them a taste but could not even finish the sampling we had scooped out for ourselves. The rice was also kind of hard, and didn't feel cooked all the way which was disappointing because there was some nice flavor there. I also had arrived to the restaurant to pick up and got my order right as it was coming in from the kitchen, yet the beans and rice were lukewarm, verging on cold. I don't know what was going on there, but about half of what was given to us for our fajita plate could not be eaten, which is honestly unacceptable if you're paying $32 for this. We also had a bit of a gripe with the online ordering platform- the fajita section had no indication of what came with it on the side, and I had to call and ask the restaurant which I wasn't super pleased about. We were told it came with a side of rice and beans, but nothing about if it came with guac, sour cream, or pico. We ordered a few cups of those separately, but when we got our order, there was a container with the toppings in it in the bag. They were all mixed together, and was not a large amount so we were glad we had the extras that we got. There was also really no indication of how many servings this would provide, and it was barely just enough for 3 people. We added a portion of corn tortillas since one of my family members can't eat gluten, and I had to ask if they were in the bag. They weren't, so tortillas were added and I left, but checked if they were corn and they were not so I had to go back inside and ask them again for corn tortillas. This is a minor inconvenience but could be avoided if things were labelled. We would appreciate if the team could add indicators such as descriptors of what comes with the meal, and portion sizes, since people tend to order fajita plates to share. I did enjoy the queso we ordered! it had a nice kick to it, and the tortilla chips were thick and crispy, with a nice amount of salt to them. The steak for the fajitas was also really tender and juicy, cooked really well. However, we were generally let down by the overall quality of the meal, the size for the price you get, and the issues with online ordering. read more

Great food, great service. All six of us had excellent meals. Very nice facility. We will be back!

Fantastic food! Wonderful margaritas. Try the spicy version of your favorite margarita!

Awesome food, service and drinks! Highly recommend! Will have to put this on the list!

Holy smack down! He wanted Tex-Mex, so he Googled it. This was the first place that came up. I got the burrito bowl and he got chicken fajitas. No time for pics because we dug in. Our server, Brittanni, made me a glass of sweet tea because they only have unsweet. She didn't tell me to "add sugar." Best dang sweet tea I've had in a long time...and yall know I love me some sweet tea. If you find yourself in Houston, go to the Rice Village District. This place is a must. 5 's #ManditosTexMex #RiceVilllageDistrict #HoustonTexasUSA read more

What are these reviews?? lol cmon Bellaire residents. Tex-Mex is not crowded here and this place will do just fine Best Tex-Mex in the area already. I have my Tex-Mex favorites of course, but I'm now extremely glad I don't have to get stuck on 610/59 just to bring home cold tex mex or wait 30 mins in line. Mandito's is great - fair prices, good quality food, amazing chips, solid local Tex-Mex. read more

There were 4 of us for dinner. Although hey don't take reservations we were sat right away at 7:30 PM on a Monday. Chips were great. Food was good. We got a mix of steak and shrimp fajitas. Service was excellent! I felt the prices were reasonable, too. Will be back! read more

EXCELLENT PARKING ALL AROUND. casual dress. BEAUTIFUL exterior, windows beautiful wood and outdoor plants. INSIDE great bright colors,light wood, well spaced. SERVICE is the best and friendliest. GOT my usual crispy beef tacos but these are different and high quality. GROUND BEEF with tiny tomatoes and fresh shaved lettuce more like a healthy salad, very clean. GREAT RICE and superb refried beans all served on a platter..going back mid week. THIS is excellent for drive by in that the large lettering saying Tex Mex stops traffic! ITS a home run, go there. read more

Mandito's Tex-Mex - Amazing Mint Margarita! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

Service was personable but inept. The food basically just missed the mark. I've been enjoying Tex-Mex around Texas for over 50 years and Mandito's just doesn't get it. It's almost as if this location (Bellaire) expects to survive with its bar/liquor sales because the food will not be bringing many customers back. The chips and salsa, however, were very good, especially the salsa. read more

The food is tasteless and feels like someone is learning to cook for the first time. Normally, I don't complain about food and I actually like bland food rather than spicy food, but the food here is just awful. In particular, today, Nov. 4, 2023, I ordered El Palacio, and the food was greasy and had a foul odor as well. Also, when I opened the cloth napkin with utensils, I noticed that the knife was dirty. I opened another napkin and saw that the knife in it was dirty as well. I asked the waitress for a clean knife. To see if I had just run across two bad samples, I opened another cloth napkin while she was there, and the third knife was dirty as well. Service, however, is usually courteous, and the only good point about this restaurant. If you care only about service and ambience, Mandito's is acceptable. But most people would dislike the bland and tasteless food. read more

Not sure why all the negative reviews, but just had a great lunch at Manditos. Service was great and food was very tasty. Would highly recommend. My favorite part was sitting on the patio surrounded by gorgeous plants and festive music. Hopefully people will give it another shot because this is a new gem in Bellaire. Go for it read more

I was looking very forward to the restaurant opening, but... We were very disappointed. Hard cold chips, hard cold tortillas, extremely overpriced and not very good margaritas, slooow service. Pretty decor. Oh well. read more
