Wonderful restaurant. I found it by a chance because I was looking for a restaurant that had Chile en Nogada in the menu. I am glad I did. I had that plate already twice in a week. Food is superb, real Mexican food, not Tex Mex like other restaurants around. It made me remember my times when visited Mexico City. The owners Gina and Jaime are lovely and charming. I also tried the empanadas, the ones I liked most are the minced meat, and the apple one. I want to go back tomorrow to try the Taco Pescador (shrimp tacos) because they are similar to the ones I also tried in Mexico City. I like the fact the menu changes every week, so there is always the possibility of trying new dishes. I hope they soon include Crema de Chile Poblano in the menu. read more

Just left this place and even though they have a sign on the door that says thank you for your patience, I was highly HIGHLY disappointed. The camarones a la diabla were one of the worst things I've ever had. I get this dish every time I'm at a restaurant and see it on a menu, as well have had the actual thing in Mexico as I'm Mexican. They definitely weren't camarones a la diabla, they should take off La diabla and put ahogadas in jitomate. It's was literally shrimp in tomato sauce, and made me so nauseous. There was no spice anywhere in that dish and it was so watery. I didn't even eat it! Also I asked the waiter if it came with tortillas and he said yes. When they brought the food (which was all brought out at different times. One person was done eating while the other persons food was barely coming out) my tortilla were never in sight and I had to ask for them. Never once were we asked if everything was ok or if we needed anything, and we had to ask for the check. It almost as we were being ignored. So sad, and horrible experience. read more

Yum, yum come and get you some! This was my first time at Mexican Mom and it was a great experience. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. A quaint and comfortable dining area makes it even more delightful. And the 80's music was icing on the cake for this Gen X'er. I'm not a huge fan of enchiladas (which is why I tried them here) but the Enchiladas Verdes were muy bueno. I'd bring my wife next time but that means she'd have to actually leave the house. If you can get your significant other to join you, they won't regret it. Give Mexican Mom a try! Pro Tip: Come on a Tuesday for lunch. You'll get a great meal with great service and it won't be very busy. read more

Hands down the best, most authentic Mexican food in Houston. The dishes are not the usual Tex-Mex fare. It is similar to what you would find in Mexico City. I have never had a less than stellar experience - food or service. The wait staff, the cooks, the owner - all are so nice and accommodating. I love the family style atmosphere. The Pico de Colibrì is so unique and delicious. And if you ever see Chiles en Nogada on the menu - don't wait. Go and give it a try. read more

We used Mexican Mom for our son's wedding. Let me tell you, Gina and Jaime are absolutely wonderful. Prompt, professional, and the food was outstanding! The guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was long after the wedding! Eating in the restaurant gives you the same amazing results as we have and will continue to dine there in the future. The meals are homecooked with fresh, quality ingredients. Highly recommend. read more

I've been there three times already and planning on going again. What a hidden gem. The food is just like I remember my Mom's food. What a difference from the run of the mill "Mexican" restaurants. The service was on point. One of may favorite dishes is the Cream of Corn soup. I was transported to my childhood days with the first taste. Some people think is a little pricey, even if it is. I prefer to have a freshly cooked meal. with fresh ingredients. On my last visit I had the Green Pozole. Delicious. Keep up the good work. read more

Mexican Mom - Green Pozole. It was delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

Absolutely amazing food. Like a home cooked meal. High quality ingredients. Great service. Highly recommended.

The food here is authentic and so wholesome. I absolutely love the fact that Mexican Mom cooks everything herself and prepares everything as it is ordered. That being said it does take a long time for food to be prepared and an added cost is given due to the fresh ingredients and lack of workers. The service is amazing as Mexican Moms husband is the server. He is so kind and represents their business well. While waiting for your food you can play a variety of games provided and enjoy the amazing home filled ambiance of this genuine restaurant. If you are used to Tex-Mex and have not experienced genuine Mexican food be prepared for a variety of flavors you may have never experienced. I definitely recommend this place when you have time to sit down and enjoy a nice home cooked meal. read more

This is not your average chips at the table Tex-Mex restaurant. It is chef-inspired authentic Mexican food! And everything is fabulous! The husband and wife owners are the chefs. They are very friendly and visit the guests at the tables. Every week half of the entrées are rotated out with new ones that the chef creates. For an appetizer we had the empanadas. The homemade crust was as flaky as a piecrust! There was even a fresh apple empanada for dessert. We will definitely be back frequently! read more

Nice family place and can tell the put in the effort. Still love the empanadas. Still love the enchiladas. Great food worth the price. Nice little atmosphere. Service is awesome! read more

Delicious fusion of Spanish, old authentic Mexican , from Mom's mom, new authentic, from Mom. Mom is the cook, and she prepares orders for one table at a time. We like to go early or after 1pm. Very nice environment and plenty of parking out front. The menu is limited, but the food is delicious. Service is adequate. read more

I live right down the road and how come I just found out this place today! Such a sweet and exquisite little restaurant! Beautiful decorations, casual and family-like vibe, and most importantly, awesome service that makes you feel like home. While servers in every other restaurant greet you by "how are you doing today?", the chef here, a loving Mexican mom, asked me "how's your mom doing?" That's how the connection was built between a welcoming restaurant and a first-time guest. Food-wise: I ordered white fish something something from the weekly menu, and it's so darn good! Very flavorful with the right amount of cheese on top. I also tried one of their desserts, which is also home-made and not bad at all! Overall, I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back with my friends and colleagues. read more

Absolutely fabulous. Beautiful small restaurant extremely nice server which I think was the manager. Seating is very limited though. They don't have fountain drinks so if you have kids be aware. It's a little pricey but the food is fresh and unlike any Mexican food I have had in the area. 100% would recommend for a unique experience as the menu changes weekly. Oh and don't worry about the food being too spicy you can just ask the server and they'll tone it down just for you. read more

One of the best if not the best Mexican restaurant in this area. Extremely friendly environment and good food

I finally checked this place out after reading the awesome reviews and it was sooo good. I had the beef empanada which was *chef's kiss, and I had the breakfast tacos which were also delicious and well portioned, with perfectly toasted tortilla. I will be back in a hurry to try the enchiladas and some dessert! :) read more

Fantastic homemade, authentic, traditional Mexican food. Service was superb and very friendly. Very quaint and small restaurant. The chicken enchiladas Verde( the Verde sauce was excellent) with a pickled red onion garnish and the best refried ( more like charro than the ones served in Tex Mex restaurants) beans I ever tasted. And the plating of the meal was beautiful. They change the menu selections on a weekly basis. A definite winner! And I 'll definitely be back. read more

This place has been blowing up on social media so I had to take a trip to see what the fuss was about. I grabbed my favorite Mexican mom and headed to an unassuming location right in front of the Walmart gas pumps. The interior is charming and you are greeted immediately by a cheerful server. They've got two menus; one that is available daily and one that focuses on weekly rotating specials. Both contained intriguing options and selection was difficult. We settled on the choriqueso and quesadillas on the regular menu and the tacos matamoros from the weekly menu. We were more than pleased with our choices. The choriqueso was a gooey, spicy concoction accompanied by street sized corn tortillas and was super filling. The quesadilla was light and full of jamon. The tacos disappeared with the speed of lightning so clearly were a hit. We had to add desserts to our order to take home. The chocolate tres leches was swimming in chocolate cream and was rich and satisfying. The churros were crisp and sweet and everything they should be. I get the buzz. I'm gonna spread it! read more

Mexican Mom is a special and unique dining experience that stands out from all of the chain restaurants in the woodlands. It's a chic restaurant inside and everything is scratch made. Weekly the menu changes for a new spin on Mexico City cuisine. You can see that Chef Gina loves what she does as she dances through the kitchen and she and the staff welcome people as though it were her home. We had the empanadas (beef and chicken) excellent! Chicken was a bit spicy but so good. We also had enchiladas verdes and Mixiote de pollo. Wow! Get there early if you don't want to risk them running out of food. First come first serve :) Thank you chef Gina and crew for a great night out. read more
