This time around I got the chilaquiles verdes con arrachera--and let's just say that was a WINNER WINNER! Next time I want to do the chilaquiles divorciados (1/2 salsa verde/ 1/2 salsa ranchera). Waiters are great & the vibe is even better: I would love to return for a date night. We usually come as a family, which is just as enjoyable! The only con I have is how small the parking space is all-around. Other than that, come with your belly's empty!

I have come to this place several times..and 80% the food and atmosphere is decent! I invited my…read morefamily of 3 and the salsa was chunky like clump of tomato, chips were stale. Waitress never came to refill our chips or drinks. Waitress named lupita and she seemed bothered when we asked her for something. The quality of food a 8, the atmosphere was busy ..it was a Sunday around 3pm..the air condition must not have worked because it was so hot..they need to add fans because it was so hot inside. When we got ready to pay, we were charged extra for 3 items we didn't order., I informed Waitress to correct receipt and she stated that she felt she made mistake on bill, but still overcharged us. I believe in tipping at least 20%, but treat paying customers with more respect and dignity..Waitress lupita was not attentive and next time I will notify management how dissatisfied I was.

Unfortunately, I had a horrible experience at Alma Latina. The oysters were clearly past their…read moreprime--extremely fishy and far from the fresh taste you'd expect. The service was just as disappointing. Our waitress was practically nonexistent, and it felt like she didn't care since gratuity was already included in the check. I also got the suture which was not refreshing at all. The shrimp was very dull and it also tasted past due. While the atmosphere and location are definitely nice, it feels like that's what people are really coming for--not the food or service. For the price and the hype, I expected so much more. I won't be returning.

I take my Grandmother to lunch here frequently. Everyone is very friendly and the service is good…read more We always get the table side guacamole which is delicious, we also love the green sauce. The lunches are good/average for local Mexican restaurants and they are very generous with the protein portions. During lunch the place is usually pretty quiet making it a nice place to catch up. We look forward to returning soon.

Our experience was extremely disappointing, largely because of the service. From the moment we…read morearrived, the hostess, Brooklyn, seemed irritated. When we politely asked if we could switch tables, she rolled her eyes, walked away without saying anything, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Unfortunately, our server, Filiberto, was no better. Throughout the meal, he repeatedly forgot basic items like our water, tortillas, and napkins--even after we reminded him more than once. For most of the meal, he was nowhere to be found, leaving us waiting for long periods whenever we needed anything. Good food can make up for a lot, but poor service from both the hostess and our waiter completely overshadowed the experience. We left feeling unwelcome and frustrated. Hopefully management addresses these issues, because no customer should be treated this way. Honestly, the hostess Brooklyn was the biggest disappointment. She walked everyone to their tables with a glare the entire evening and just looked miserable. She shouldn't be a hostess!

Rancho used to be the place we'd take friends and family when they visited, but since I had to cut…read moregluten for medical reasons, I thought this place was out. I called to see if they (by chance) had any gluten-free options, and the person I spoke with confirmed the following: any marinated meat isn't safe since soy sauce is used; the rice is fried in a shared fryer; the beans are GF; corn tortillas and shredded chicken are safe; and the queso, salsa, and guacamole are safe (I believe the chips are in a shared fryer). I took this knowledge when I went to order today, and so far, I haven't had any symptoms. Our food was served hot, and as always, it was excellent. The waitress gave us shirts for Cinco de Mayo, and they had other fun trinkets they were giving away. We usually go to Pappasito's for Cinco, but since the San Jac is up, we decided to keep it within the Kingwood side of the river. I'm so glad we did. Though this place is usually busy, it was dead today (probably because of the weather). Service is always stellar, and we didn't have to ask for anything. We were in there for a total of 45 minutes - our food was out in a matter of minutes after ordering, and our waitress was incredible. We will absolutely be back!

Not only do they serve tacos, but they also have tortas, burritos, quesadillas, gorditas, sopes,…read moretostadas, and huarache. The same meats are offered for all of them, so you basically get to choose your variation of carb :D Didn't realize they had a Taco Tuesday special (specifically the taco trompo is $1 each instead of $2), which wasn't mentioned anywhere in store, until I got the receipt. Only bottled water and drinks available :( Tacos only come with onions and cilantro. If you want cheese or sour cream, it's an extra charge for each. They do have house creamy green and spicy red sauces, but they didn't bring it to our table until I was done with half my tacos. Tacos come with 2 small corn tortillas: - Barbacoa (4.5/5): tender, flavorful -- this one was my favorite. - Chorizo (4/5): nicely cooked, flavorful, but very salty - Lengua (1/5): crunchy and hard, flavorless. More texture than anything. - Tripa (1/5): also not seasoned and not flavorful. Meat wasn't tender either. - Nopales (4/5): cactus grilled tender, wasn't seasoned so it didn't have too much flavor. But it came with grilled jalapeño and onions which were yummy. - Sopes (3/5): my first time having a sopes so not sure how it's supposed to taste like, but the base is made of masa flour and felt like a dense, pasty waffle. It was a on the soggy side and couldn't be picked up. This one came with cheese and sour cream but didn't have much flavor even with the chicken, so we still doused it with the sauces. Didn't see any beans on there. Nice to try but probably wouldn't order again. The service was not unfriendly but poker-faced and to the point. When I asked how the cactus tasted, the staff member could not tell me if it was salty or sweet (fyi, it's a savory dish). The ladies' restroom also had no toilet paper (not even a finished roll). But the tables and overall eating environment was clean and bright. Overall, an okay meal without frills. I would compare it to a food truck but in a nicer environment + nice parking lot. The Lengua and Tripa let me down, but I would return for their Barbacoa!

The Friendliness as soon as we walked in was overwhelming on this Monday afternoon around 4pm. Felt like home The food was made with love and cuisine knowledge! Very smart and delicious!

Other friend had cheese Chile relleno... she loved it. Hubby had taco, cheese enchilada, and tamale that were the best. The sauces, the queso and homemade chips were warm and oh so good. Homemade corn tortillas and flour tortillas will make us fly back from Phoenix to indulge in often! Thank you so much for making this experience the best of our trip... my goodness Thank you!

We ordered two barbacoa tacos and I've never had a barbacoa taco with SO much fat. It was mostly fat. I sat there literally taking all the fat out and eventually had the tiniest bit of actual meat on it. I know barbacoa tends to be fatty but this was excessive. I was so disappointed and unfortunately the other tacos we ordered were okay but didn't make up for it. Even the green salsa wasn't blended well and had long onion skin pieces in it. I wish we had a different experience for our first time trying it but I don't think we'll be back.
