    Molina's has several off menu items like Chicken Fried Steak and Jalapeña Ranch dressing. Bartender Santiago is always on point!

    Black Bean Empanadas
    Sabrina A.

    I called in an order to-go. I ordered the puffy tacos and black bean empanadas. The empanadas were absolutely delicious--crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. The puffy tacos were good too, though the meat was a bit greasy, causing the taco to fall apart. Overall, the food was tasty, and I would definitely eat here again

    Wire that was in my rice
    Amber A.

    Never again. Found this wire in my rice, literally chewed it on my first bite and all they could say was "sorry". Luckily it was myself and not my kids.

    Taco salad
    Nicki M.

    I love all the different seating options this place has to offer - both inside and out! I went for lunch and it was pretty chill and quiet. Our server was friendly and helpful. I had the taco salad with ground beef and it wasn't the best I've ever had but definitely good. The ingredients were fresh and the shell was light and crispy.

    Came for a quick lunch with co-workers, and this was the perfect place! The lunch menu provides many options to choose from. Upon arrival, we received a basket of chips and a wonderful set up of many dips: medium and hot salsa as well as some sort of avocado dip. All sauces were flavorful, and the chips were perfect - not too thick or thin, not oily at all. I ordered the lunch enchiladas, which came with a choice of beans (black, charro, refried), and side of rice. Plenty of food for lunch! I couldn't finish it all. Service was quick, and we appreciated that for our lunch hour. Ambiance was very nice on the inside. I would come back again for a dinner with friends or a date night! Give this place a try :)

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.

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!!

Inside it is spacious and has some colorful and lively decor. Great for groups or solo at the bar. Service: 5/5 The hostess was friendly and immediately directed me to my friend's table. Once seated, the waiter was very attentive and accommodating in checking in on us and getting our orders going. Food: 5/5 We ordered the beef and chicken fajitas to share. The beef fajitas were flavorful just as I'd hoped but the chicken was a bit dry. With the order we each get our own plate of rice and beans and choice of tortillas. The flour tortillas were delicious, almost like home made, so much so that I took the leftovers tortillas home to enjoy with butter. The highlight for me was the Skinny Margarita with my customization of adding a shot of Amaretto. I've been disappointed at other places because they never taste fresh, or have an extremely tart flavor, but the bartender had it down to a science because when I tell you from my first sip it was like heaven! Fresh, not too sweet and I only had one and was tipsy, I wasn't the only one. My two friends got the same one and agreed it was delicious and they too were tipsy. And you get your money's worth. I don't live in this area, but for this margarita, I may have to visit again soon. I'm thirsty thinking about it as I'm writing this and likely still thinking about it while you're reading this. I didn't get as many photos as I usually do, apologies, but I did get the Skinny margarita. Overall it was a good time, with good food and good drinks.

Between Saturday and Sunday, the only meal I had was Neca's nachos. I had to go to urgent care, where I was put on an IV and given medication to treat what was diagnosed as food poisoning. In addition to the above facts, my toddler ate a bit off my plate Saturday/Sunday and exhibited symptoms similar to mine. On Monday, June 30th at 9:04am, I called to share my experience with the staff. To be clear, my intention in calling was not to leave a negative review, but simply to bring the matter to the restaurant's attention - privately. Unfortunately, the owner, Albert, was defensive throughout the call. He said things like, "I don't doubt that happened, but we've never had a complaint," and dismissed my experience rather than showing concern. I explained I wasn't calling to leave a bad review but to make them aware. But alas, here we are. If you're looking for a place with good food and quality customer service, I suggest you look elsewhere. But if you're fine risking your health and dealing with defensive owners, Neca's may be the place for you.

After living in Houston for…read more15 years and dining all over the city, this was by far the most disappointing restaurant experience we've had. What made it even more frustrating is that we've been to the Cypress location many times, and every single visit there has been exceptional -- great food, great service, and consistently enjoyable. Unfortunately, the La Centerra location was the complete opposite. We waited over an hour for our food, only to receive the wrong appetizer. The fajita plate arrived cold and without rice, beans, or tortillas. We sent both dishes back. The replacement appetizer -- ceviche tostadas -- finally arrived, but it was overloaded with lemon to the point of being unbearably sour. Meanwhile, there were still no tortillas, rice, or beans in sight. No drink refills, no updates, and barely any service during the entire wait. After another long stretch of waiting, we finally asked the server what was happening, only for her to return and tell us the kitchen was closing and they no longer had tortillas, rice, or beans available. At that point, after nearly 1.5 hours, we walked out with nothing but a to-go box of fajita meat. To the manager's credit, they removed the appetizer and fajita charges from the bill, but the experience itself left such a bad taste that it completely overshadowed the gesture. Extremely disappointing, especially compared to the excellent standards we've experienced at the Cypress location. Sadly, we will not be returning to this location.
