Michelada mix made in house. Bartender was nice enough to make mine like they do in Mexico - without the tomato or Clamato.
Nadia V.

Food was good - quality ingredients and served hot. Breakfast is served until 2pm on Saturday and Sunday. $4.95 mimosas all day. They had a DJ with good music playing on Sunday. I will definitely be back on a weekend to try the pozole.

Pollo Limon

We had an amazing experience (per usual), the food was delicious and full of flavor! I ordered the special chilaquiles with eggs over easy and cecina on top -- chef's kiss! The green salsa had just the right kick, and the cecina was perfectly seasoned. We also tried the Pollo Limón recommended by the manager, which was tender and rich. Would get again! The service was 10/10! Friendly, fast, and super attentive. The portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful, and the whole vibe of the place just feels warm and welcoming. Definitely one of my favorite local spots!

Tres Leches
Alan T.

My Pambazo tasted great i really liked the flavor of the sauce on the french bread, the seasoning of the chorizo and potatoes was great. I opted for french fries instead of rice and beans during my visit. The staff is very friendly, very attentive and always ready to assist you, i didn't even have to ask for water they brought it out as soon as we sat down, awesome service. I decided to try the tres leches but was pretty disappointed, that was definitely not tres leches at least not the moist version im used to. Instead it was more of cheesecake/flan consistency which is usually not how tres leches should be in my opinion. Overall pretty good spot i enjoyed my main dish unfortunately i live pretty far from here but if ever in the area i'd stop by again.

I will tell you this: Romero's Las Brazas is *not* the best food you'll ever have; HOWEVER, the charm, hospitality, and care this place puts into the experience you'll have is very nearly unmatched. Looking through the reviews, I was iffy on if I should visit. What sold me was a review of someone saying they came back to visit this joint after THIRTEEN YEARS. If a restaurant can stick in your mind for over a decade, I'd have to say they must be worth a try. And this place most definitely is. From the moment the custom wooden door opened, the entire dining room was vibrating with wonderful energy. There was a band going, a very charismatic gent who kept calling us "Princesa," gave us the special, and they even made a custom on-the-rocks marg for my roomie they typically only blend. The salsa is homemade, warm, yummy, and well-seasoned. The flautas surprised me with ACTUAL flavor! The rice and beans look unassuming, but they are well-seasoned as well and good. My chicken was pretty decent, wrapped in a warm, homemade flour tortilla. My roommate got mole and I've gotta say, her dish was great. Not too sweet, like some moles usually are, because this one packs spice as the flavor develops. Honestly, I'd consider it to be a pretty surprising and complex dish considering this restaurant is just your local place. All that being said, I hope it becomes our place for years to come. Keep it up! PS - Expect pomp AND circumstance when you visit on your birthday!

Enchiladas Verdes
Bryan V.

Enchiladas verdes were alright here. Portions are generous for the price, but flavors are underwhelming compared to other amazing Mexican restaurants in the area. The decor was cute and service was quick.

This place is lively and bustling. We love the warm salsa and freshly baked chips, especially on a cold day like today. The breakfast this morning was delicious. However, the service has been consistently poor, which is disappointing considering the overall experience. We had to flag down staff for minor things like napkins, salsa, and refills.

Beef Sizzling Fajitas

The food here was delicious! They serve you the traditional chips and salsa before you order and the salsa actually tastes very authentic! I loved it! As for the entree, I tried the enchiladas de mole. The rice and beans tasted very authentic, the mole was also delicious it's just missing a bit of flavor for my taste but over all I really enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back for another dish The place was clean and the staff was very polite and attentive. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Fernando and made feel welcome. For drinks we ordered some coffee and appreciated that it was made fresh! Bcs come on now who doesn't enjoyed a freshly brewed cup thanks Fernando! Regarding the parking, plenty of parking spaces.

A return to this place after a 13 year pause. Way too long, I know right? Well, my coworkers love this place and I am glad they had me with them. The salsa has a kick to it and I love when I can taste it. I used the salsa to kick my tacos up a notch. The cheese enchilada was great and didn't need anything extra. The beans were cheesy and the rice was tasty. They have drink options if you're up for a little happy hour. They also have a great sweet tea if you like that too! The queso looks like melted velveeta cheese (nothing else in it), so maybe skip that appetizer.

First time in Houston, and I kept seeing people online say Ninfa's is overrated. But every local I…read moreasked told me to go, so I went. Glad I did. Service was great. Our server was super friendly and kept things moving. Free chips and salsa to start. The chips came out warm and crunchy, with a red and a green salsa. Easy way to kick off the meal. I got the enchiladas suizas. Packed with chicken and cheese, and the salsa verde on top gave it a nice bit of tang that kept it from feeling heavy. Solid Tex-Mex. Didn't disappoint.

As there is not a location near me any longer, we traveled to the original location. It was bustling with an attentive waitstaff and lots of people watching. Complementary valet (of course we tip) is a great benefit as parking is slim. Our waitress was Kady. She's been there for 50 years! Talk about an original. She was attentive to our needs but all business. We started with guacamole and queso. Guac was a huge portion with all the add ins. Queso was delish and served with fried flour tortillas (my fav). The gratis green dip, red sauce, and thick, crisp chips were on par. The fajitas. Just so so. Honestly, it reminded me of Taco Cabana. Very disappointing. Very little flavor and tough. The rice was yucky, the refried beans were the worst! Reminded us of the frito lay bean dip in a can. Even the Borracho beans were bad. HEB's in the can are far better. We received 2 corn and 2 flour tortillas. Fajitas served with pico, guac, sour-sour cream (I didn't even like that). Iced tea was fair. All in all, Fajitas very disappointing. If we had not been on the best fajita quest, I most likely would have ordered the chicken caldo soup. That never disappoints.

The world is full of Mexican restaurants…read more Most are some version of Tex-Mex in a family-friendly, relatively similar environment. Nothing wrong with that. Mexican Sugar breaks that mold completely. This is the most legit, wonderful, bougie, over-the-top Mexican restaurant I have ever been to, and I mean that as the highest compliment possible. This was my second trip to Mexican Sugar. The first was in Grapevine. After this visit to the Montrose location, I have officially decided that when I am in Texas, I will seek these places out. They are that good. First, dress up. I doubt there is an actual dress code, but this is not the place where I am showing up looking like I just finished mowing the yard. Come here to be seen. Come here to show out a little. The place is beautiful and has that kind of vibe. Second, the drinks. Hell yes. Fancy, creative, excellent, and impressive enough for even the person who has seen every ridiculous cocktail presentation imaginable. And then there is the food. My God, the food. The salsa and queso are legit AF. The street corn is heaven in a bowl. Get several orders. I am serious. One is not enough. The carne asada was amazing. Honestly, I could keep going, but at some point this review is just going to become me yelling about how much I love Mexican Sugar. I LOVE MEXICAN SUGAR. OK, YOU GET THE IDEA. WHY AM I YELLING? BACK TO THE REVIEW.... Service was excellent too. The place is huge and was absolutely packed, but our server stayed attentive and the food came out surprisingly quickly. Make a reservation. Park in the nearby garage. Dress nice. Order the drinks. Get the street corn. Then get more street corn. Who is ready for another trip to Houston? I'll book the reservation at Mexican Sugar.

I highly recommend the steak and eggs and the pancakes, both were delicious. Great food, amazing service, and another wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back!

Maximo looks like someone invited the desert inside and poured it a drink. The room is colorful,…read morewarm, and genuinely inviting--pots of cactus, cowboy paintings, and Mexican art. At brunch, the papas bravas come as small cubes of fried potato with an airy crunch that gives way to a soft, pillowy center - the kind of deeply satisfying bite that makes conversation briefly irrelevant. Crisp prosciutto adds salt, aioli brings richness, and smoky chile sauce keeps it lively. They're served with cactus-handled toothpicks, which are almost offensively adorable. The chilaquiles divorciados are another hit. The chips are dressed with salsa rather than drowned beneath it, so each one arrives ready for the perfect bite. It's a small distinction, but an important one. Then there are the enfrijoladas: rolled quesadillas in fluffy tortillas, covered in creamy black bean sauce and plated with more care than bean and cheese might seem to warrant. The dish is fundamentally simple, but that's the point. Soft tortilla, savory beans, melted cheese, bright salsa. Familiar ingredients transformed into something deeply comforting--the culinary equivalent of curling up beneath a warm blanket on a cold morning, even if Houston rarely provides one. Dinner shifts into another gear. The crudos are sensational, especially the tuna tiradito - a rolling wave of flavor and texture. The tacos are excellent across the board, but the crispy maitake mushrooms are unmatched. The short ribs arrive juicy and tender on a mole negro that doesn't sit politely in the background. It lands dark, complex, and full of flavor. And then there's the masa cornbread, a masterpiece of unapologetic indulgence. Humble cornbread meets savory-sweet mole, smoky, earthy butter, and caviar. It sounds like too much. It isn't. Every element earns its place. The cocktails deserve their own warning. They're the kind that convince you to keep ordering the same drink all night. By the end, you may have forgotten what was in it. What you'll remember is that it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you needed. Maximo makes ambitious food feel generous rather than fussy. Come hungry.

Honestly I am fairly disappointed in this place as I had been anticipating it for the longest time…read more I was able to snag reservations about 1 month in advance for a Saturday dinner. The restaurant is located in a quiet area in West University with a good amount of street parking. The restaurant itself is decorated with a lot of character and personality and they have seating inside and outside on their covered patio. Don't get me wrong, the service here is amazing. The servers are very attentive, and I appreciate the chefs coming out to explain their dish. However, the dishes themselves were basic and lacked specialty. My boyfriend and I got the Chef's Tasting Menu. I got the drink pairing. As a Chef's tasting menu, I would expect the restaurants' most precious meals. The short rib was dry and the rest of the other dishes were unmemorable. The only dish that truly caught my eye was their Tres Leches, but this was given on the house as it was our anniversary. The drink pairing I got was well worth and all of the drinks were flavorful and paired well. Overall, I'd hope that their chef's tasting menu would improve as they rotate their dishes. I would try to come back to give it another chance.

The food at Doña Leti's was AMAZING! Definitely worth the wait…read more I went around 1 PM and it was BUSY. They honestly have more customers than they have space, which is a great problem for them to have . Parking was also hard to find, and I waited about 30 minutes just to be seated. But once I got my food and tasted it... I was IN LOVE! The food made all of the inconveniences completely worth it. Customer service was cool, the atmosphere was nice, but the FOOD was definitely the star of the show. I would absolutely go back... just be prepared to wait and hunt for parking. Worth it!

Dona Leti's was everything we thought it would be!…read more Upon arriving there was a 30 min wait but thats ok because we were given chips and salsa to hold us over. Once we were seated the waiter we had was super helpful. If we had questions, he had answers and pictures to go with them. The food was phenomenal and huge. We ordered the skillet burrito, surf and turf eggrols, and birria sampler. So much food and so flavorful. Honestly you have to try the alfredo on the eggrolls. That was different but so good. The asada was flavorful on the burrito and eggrolls. The birria was great and then consume hit the spot dipping wise. The burrito was jam.packed with meat and rice. Very good! Its exactly what I want in my burrito. We ordered margaritas for drinks and those were pretty good. The strawberry margarita has to be mixed once brought to the table, but thats ok. Needless to say we had to take leftovers home for sure. Great food and a great time!
