First time at Mandito's after our daughter recommended it. Food was very good and the service was great! They have changed some food items since they originally opened and the improvement was noticeable by our daughter. My wife really liked the ambiance and how bright it was and the temperature inside was comfortable. read more

It has not been very crowded the 2 or 3 times we've been here recently. The servers are consistently nice and helpful and always treat my kids well. We love the thicker chips they have, as well as their salsa, and the kids devour them by the basketful. I've tried different dishes each time I've come here and have liked them all. The kids meals, if you get the tacos and nachos, come in a cool plated presentation, but, alas, my kids do not eat those and have not gotten to see th dinos in person. The kids meals also come with ice cream and sprinkles, so the kids love it, and we get to enjoy some running around outside in the green space. There are lots of different types of seating areas inside and outside the restaurant. The bathrooms were bright and clean. read more

Okay I seen this across from villa which I go to . I wanted to try this out since the reviews seems legit and worthy . Very empty ! Surprised , it's very bright and vibrant inside ! Love the music ... Okay food: The free tortilla chips were okay , a bit hard but the salsa was great . I got the lunch special 11-4pm pick 2 and comes with sides !! Mexican rice was goooood! Beans were goood! Beef enchiladas lol my first time and it was good but I wouldn't get it again lol just not my go to . The flauta was okay as well ! Chicken wasn't seasoned so it just tasted like shell and chicken. Overly about 6.5/10 . Due to lack of flavor ! Customer service was great ! I will consider coming back for drinks or try the fajitas and margaritas!! read more

Impromptu lunch date with a co worker led us here! Ambience was really fun and inviting, but when. I walked in during a Thursday lunch hour, the restaurant was practically empty!! Usually when the restaurant is empty during the lunch rush. I get nervous! lol... not sure if they're new to the area and trying to make a name for themselves but either way, I walked in through the to-go side, and when I walked up the host stand, no one was there initially. after a few minutes someone finally came and greeted me. Sat down and ordered a Mango agua Fresca with a touch of cinnamon flavor. I was hesitant so the staff member was kind enough to make me one and if I didn't like it, they wouldn't charge me for it. It was a really great gesture for a first time patron! I ordered the enchiladas suizas and absolutely loved the moist, soft flavorful shredded chicken inside, but I wasn't really a fan of the cheese and sour cream on top. My co worker ordered their pick two lunch special for $9.95 - comes with rice and beans as well! Overall, it seems like a good place but we were in a bit of a rush and it did take some time to get our drink orders in as the server took awhile to come around...and everyone raved about the chips....persobal preference, I like warm salsa and really thin chips, even if they're precut and premade. read more

I have been eating Mexican food for decades so I the know the good from the meh. The acid test for any first visit starts with chips and salsa. Most of the big named places in Houston have salsa that is closer to ketchup than a true salsa and the chips are so thin and flimsy that you will not be able to scoop the guacamole . Manditos chips are seriously fresh and thick with salsa that is truly homemade with a good kick. If you opt for Queso or guacamole you will be even more impressed. The second part of the test is their cheese enchiladas and Manditos delivers with a sizzling plate including refried beans with and old world flavor and actually delicious rice! The menu is extensive and we have never had a bad meal, When the weather is nice they have outdoor seating. Strongly recommended. read more

This is a 3.5 star rating. The restaurant is decorated very nicely and people here are extremely friendly. Lots is staff also! Freshly made chips are awesome! Guac was good but could use a little more seasoning. Prices are good too. Wife had a chicken salad and I had beef and chicken fajitas. We both thought there was really nothing special about them both. Just both average. Maybe other items on menu are better. read more

I love the cheesy enchiladas. I'm sure why at lunch it's not got more customers. The food is good. I was served immediately with drink and chips. Give them some love people! read more

We stopped by for dessert and loved the vibrant decor and friendly staff. We ordered the Dessert Trio, which was absolute "dessert heaven". It was so generous it could easily feed four people! It was definitely too much for just my husband and me, but every bite was worth it. We sat outside where there's a great green area; it's a very family-oriented layout that makes it easy to watch your kids while you eat. read more

I went there with my family for lunch today took forever for someone to get us a drink and bring us chips and salsa later we waited and waited for someone to take our order. I even stopped one of the waiters and he completely ignored me. It was really poor customer service we got up. I had to find someone so I could pay for our drinks and leave. I would never return again I can only imagine how long it would've taken to get our food. I was very disappointed in this place. It was my first time and last. read more

I was really expecting more from this place based on the location and the cool vibe as you enter! Server was nice but had to send two items back for not being correct, one item had to be sent back twice :/ The food was ok, not excellent, but not terrible. I will say the chips were great though! Margaritas were limey to me and tiny. I don't expect to come back but definitely you should see what you think! read more

solid C+/B- on the food, highly recommend kicking back a couple first to make the food taste good then downing a pepto bismol after. Lady manager with tattoos is weird. Bartenders are cool. Place is empty for a reason. read more

Service was fine. Food left a lot to be desired- especially in an area where good Mexican food restaurants are plentiful. We were the only patrons in the place. We quickly understood why. I assigned only two stars because while the service was good/OK, given there was no one else there - it should've been absolutely outstanding. We should've been trying to shoo them away. read more

1st time trying this and very impressed! The lunch special for $10 is a spectacular deal. I'm extremely full and happy. The flauta is stuffed to the brim with chicken. The tostada is crispy on top. The corn is delicious and I love that it has corn and peas. The margaritas were also beautiful and tasty. You can also make them spicy. Service was great. We were a big party and they got everything out really fast. The managers kept coming to ask if we needed anything. Very friendly. The inside looked really nice and the outside patio where we sat was very chic. read more

Excellent tacos al carbon and great service, we had a nice family dinner in the patio

Service was slow for two tables being in there. Lunchtime. Rosemary and carrots don't go in tacos. It's a taco, not cottage pie. Enchiladas are passable but there are better options in the area. Bit on the expensive side. Wants to have the same feeling as Escilantes but missed the mark. Looks kid friendly but I don't think we're going back lively decor and music is not too loud. Not worth the trip or money read more

interesting place. not your normal tex mex. kinda hits me as a healthy kind of place. casadias were delicious but didnt quite have the tex mex vibe. chips are thick and pre salted. pretty good though different. place was nearly deserted. service was pretty good. the newfangled hand held credit card machine tries to bully you with very high tip choices. been here twice. might go back someday. read more

The food was alright, but our waiter was really cool! He had a silly little radish shirt, served with a kind smile, and even opened the door for us on the way out. 6/10 experience read more

Today I drove all across Katy to Manditos, just for their chips. Took a big baf home as Mama made her famous guacamole! Absolute BEST chips in all of Katy. Cheese enchiladas were excellent too! Manager Frankie was most hospitable, helpful, and friendly. EXCELLENT margaritas too! Highly recommend! read more

The service was good, place was clean and the chips were good. The guacamole and the queso were just ok. our food(chicken tacos, nachos, beans, enchiladas) lacked flavor and we were confused as to why the plates were so hot but the food wasn't, out food was at best room temperature. The rice had veg in it that was a bit raw. No one finished their food. They just opened i think, so maybe this is just kinks they have to work out. read more

I cannot say enough about how good this new place is! This is my favorite Tex-mex now. Everything is so fresh and yummy and I love the colorful modern decor. I love the salsa, fajitas, tacos, kids meals, generous portions. The female bartender with long hair makes the best classic margarita. The staff is outstanding, especially Rocky. They go above and beyond and have a policy not to say no. Go there. read more

I wish I could give this place 6 stars. Our waiter, Ale, was absolutely amazing. We went with our three kids and he had so much patience with us. The food was delicious and the margaritas are amazing. There was live music outside by the green space and plenty of area for the kids to run around while we enjoyed our meal which was a big plus. read more

Mandito's Tex-Mex - Seasonal Margarita - Tex-Mex Near Me - Katy, Texas

Place is nicely decorated & staff is nice. But food is mid at best. Bland, not true tex mex. I was disappointed considering plates average around $14, which adds up quickly if eating with family. They seem new so they might want to rethink the recipes. I would skip this place. read more

This place is a big NO NO. The food didn't have any taste. You couldn't tell if you were eating Mexican or a hamburger for that matter. The service was fine until the moment my son was almost done but I was still eating. The waiter came to my son and asked if he wanted to take what was left. I felt annoyed because I was still eating, and that is rude. I told him to please wait because I was still eating and he went away only to come with a box. No regards to my petition to wait while we were still at the table. He went away and then, in a very passive aggressive manner, another one came and asked "is everything done here?" I responded "Are we in a hurry here, what is happening?" He said that everything was fine and went away. Only two minutes passed and they brought the check. If you are asking yourselves: NO I DID NOT LEAVE A TIP. I went there to enjoy quality time with my son not to be rushed to swallow the tasteless food they served. The tip or should I say MY TIPS come from quality service not to be bullied into swallowing fast enough for another customer hence another tip. Don't go! read more

When I walked in I was immediately struck by the bright colors and lots of customers sitting for dinner at 7:30pm on a Friday night. Understandably, our young server was flustered and forgot straws for our margaritas after we had to ask twice... She also forgot to bring a spoon for the charro beans after asking and we had to ask a second time. We started with the Beyond Beef nachos which I am glad they offered! Yet the kitchen forgot to substitute the refried beans containing lard for vegetarian beans... I was fine with this but was only confronted by a concerned staff member about it more than 5 minutes after the plate hit the table. The real downer was the thin flour tortilla... they were not made with love. Even "tex-mex" tortillas should be fluffy. The portabella fajitas tasted fine but I was shocked when a young man brought a tray with 2 huge, steaming plates for the table next to us. He looked flustered as well and without a tray stand, he placed the tray at the empty seat in-front of me! I was fine by this but just concerned at the lack of preparation for the heavy and hot plates. I hope the management is better able to prepare the staff for their dinner rushes. This place has potential but needs improvements. Also my grandma was disappointed by the quality of the tequila in the $10 margaritas. read more

Mandito's Tex-Mex - Sad flour tortilla for portabella fajitas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Katy, Texas

Nope. My $15 burrito in a bowl would have included ground beef. I upgraded to shrimp for $3. For which I got 4 small/medium sized shrimp. 4 shrimp would have been an appropriate replacement for what I should have gotten instead of beef. To charge an up charge for 4 bites of overcooked shrimp, absolutely not. 6 shrimp I wouldn't have noticed, but 4 was a slap in the face. read more

Our whole family loves Mandito's. They have the friendliest staff, best refried beans anywhere, and awesome spicy margaritas. Food is amazing and the restaurant is always clean. Chips and salsa are our favorite from any restaurant. Can't go wrong with anything you order. read more

I've been disappointed in the quality and flavor of the food they offered, been there a few times. After yesterday, last time going there. Ordered Alejandros a combo meal with a cheese enchilada, hard shell beef taco and a chicken fajita. The cheese enchilada absolutely zero flavor just topped with cheese and nuked. The beef taco was decent an the worst was the chicken fajita, chicken was overcooked tasted like the remnants of a grill, no flavor and extremely bland. No sauce or even cheese. Simply chopped up grilled chicken rolled into a flour tortilla. Only upside were the homemade chips and salsa. read more

Excellent food, service and ambiance! Thanks to our waiter Robert for his service!! We will be back soon read more

Ok let's start with the Pro's..... Our waiter was attentive and we immediately ordered chili con queso with beef! The chips, salsa and queso were great! That's where the Pro's ended! Now the Con's... my daughter and myself both ordered the Carne Guisada. I have to say the food was pretty bad and had very little meat( carne) in the guisada VERY disappointed! The plates themselves are VERY overpriced at $23 per plate for for what you get. Very little food and actually a bad value for the Guisada! We love Carne Guisada so we know what it should be and the average pricing. I should have asked before I ordered because the menu had no price on this plate. That's my bad however I have NEVER had a $23 Carne Guisada plate!!!!! Completely crazy and overpriced! Buyer beware! Then I ordered my wife a Mixta fajita plate ($33 way overpriced) to go. I was hoping the best when I got home. The mixta fajita plate had beef, chicken & shrimp and I live 10 minutes from the restaurant so it didn't get cold before I got cold. My wife immediately asked to eat so I gave her the bag of the to go food. She immediately told me there were only two tiny shrimp and very little beef in the plate. Then she said the chicken fajitas were super dry. I purposely did not tell her about me or my daughter's experience at Mandito's so I could get another view point. My wife said it's the worst fajitas she ever had! I tried to give this place a chance but it can't even compare to ANY of the other Mexican restaurants in Katy! I won't be going back because I feel like they were way overpriced for the value of the quality and quantity of the food. Hope they figure it out soon or they will be out of business soon! The Tex Mex restaurant scene is too good in Katy to have bad food. On a positive note the staff was very attentive! read more

This place is amazing Frankie is such a great Help. Food and vibe is amazing..... more managers like Frankie should be hired

I tried this place for the first time recently. The service was excellent. The place was clean. I had the chicken quesadillas. They weren't terrible. I just expected it to be made with quesadilla cheese, not what tasted like Colby jack which seemed to be overpowering and made me not enjoy them overall. I took them home but eventually ended up not eating them all and throwing most of it out when I got home cause that cheese just did not jive well for me I will try this place again due to the service and try other dishes. I also had the chips and salsa. The chips tasted homemade and they were delicious. read more
