A late night dinner with coworkers. We were immediately greeted by the server and seated. The best thing was the food So I'll be back soon. The sausage, beef and refried beans were delicious but the tortillas were so good I could eat them alone and just enjoy. The place was clean and looked like a nice authentic Mexican restaurant. I look forward to next time.

Not located in the best area of town. Had a homeless person on sidewalk by the entrance that mgr had to run off..think he actually ended up going to bathroom on sidewalk. With that said inside was nice and clean and staffed well. We got our drinks and chips right away and server kept checking on us. Group of 4 and place was somewhat busy but service was really good Ordered Pozole, Menudo and birra tacos and a shrimp dish. All food was hot and fresh and tasted really good. The only thing I will give a bad review is the elote. It was boiled and must of sat in water to long so it was mushy and water logged. Corn can be boiled but removed right away then put on grill and get some char on it for flavor Also no lime added to the mayo and no chile on the outside. Very mild and bland. Needs a major upgrade to make really good. Do not suggest even though my pic looks good. All other food was great. This place is worth a try.

Ruchi's Mexican Grill absolutely delivered on flavor and satisfaction with my recent to-go order!!! I had the Burrito Supreme with mixed chicken and steak and WOW. The filling was perfectly seasoned, generous, and packed with that bold, crave-worthy flavor you'd expect from a place that knows what it's doing. My only critique? The tortilla. It wasn't quite cooked through, so it started falling apart as I ate, which was a bit messy. That said, the taste was still on point, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. If that tortilla had been grilled just right... I mean, we'd be talking next level legendary. Endless possibilities! The shrimp tacos were a definite standout, juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken tacos were decent, though not as memorable. The side of beans ewww. Even though it was a to-go order, the service was fast and friendly, and the vibe inside was warm and inviting. You can tell this is a spot that locals love for good reason. I'll absolutely be back and next time, I'm hoping that burrito comes with a toasted tortilla and a side of greatness. *SIDE NOTE They stay open till 2 AM. This used to be a great after our spot to grab a bite to eat after being hungry or drunk after the club lol. Not sure if it still is but kind of cool to know.

Service is okay. If they get even a little busy they kind of forget about you. Overall food was good for very late night eating when you're in a pinch and want Mexican. Large portions, tons of tortillas. The elote was my favorite. Also the soups were very soothing on a cold night. The taquitos are so dry it was eating like stale tortillas wrapped in very dry chicken jerky. I could barely chew it. The nachos were also topped with pretty dry chicken. Tough to eat.

Strawberry Margarita
Cynthia E.

Pleasantly surprised that this place was not far from me! Loved the flour tortilla with my taco. It tasted very fresh. I ordered the barbacoa and pierna taco. The barbacoa was super juicy and delicious. The pierna was kind of dry, but I've never had this type of taco so I wasn't sure what to expect. We also had chips and salsa which came with the meals and I ordered a strawberry margarita, which was great! The servers were attentive and there was a very relaxed vibe. It's open late too, so it's great if you want a late Mexican snack. Will most likely be back!

Mixed plate, chile relleno
Mari T.

Wow. We have been here 2 days and already have been here 2 times! The fresh chips and salsas (2 kinds: red/orange and avocado) are AMAZING. First night we got chile relleno plate and a mixed plate (cheese enchilada, chicken enchilada and beef taco). Fantastic! Soooo fast and soooo delicious! Friendly service and so reasonably priced! Then we went again for breakfast. He got a beef gordita and I got huevos ala mexicana (jalapenos, tomatoes and onion scramble with potatoes and beans). Can't wait to go back and try more things! The menu is so extensive we said you could def come back every day of the month and have something new! He still needs to try the flan (his fave) but every time he is too full for dessert!

Came here on a Wednesday evening, maybe 25 percent capacity, the place seem authentic filled with culture and history. Ordered the Birria quesadillas, and fried fish. Overall it was ok, nothing special, fairly priced, and excellent chip and salsa. Fish was good, rice was alittle dry

Street Corn

This place is bomb. The food is always delicious, and authentic. The service could be a little better but nonetheless it's a great late night dinner spot Ambiance is AUTHENTIC MEXICAN

Chorizo con Huevos con Chorizo
Cecilia O.

We are visiting Houston this weekend and we're in the mood for some authentic Mexican food. Everyone was very welcoming as soon as we walked in. I order the chorizo con huevos plate and my bf order the Menudo. Both were delicious and great on flavor. Definitely recommend to try for some real Mexican food

Shrimp enchiladas
Keandra P.

I love me some TEX MEX. Service was great. Went with a big group for lunch Food-I had the shrimp enchiladas. Large portion. Super cheesy, which I love. Taste was fair, not amazing, but hits the spot. Quick and easy lunch or dinning place, reasonable prices.

the front of the restaurant
Jeannie W.

Out front this place has plenty of parking, and is conveniently located right off the freeway. Walking in we were greeted and seated right away. This place was busy but we didn't have to wait to be seated and the food didn't take long either. I ordered the pancakes which comes with 3, and eggs with 2 pieces of bacon. The pancakes are nice and fluffy and came with warm melted butter and maple syrup. My bf ordered juevos con tocino y papas y frijoles. Both orders were delicious and you can't beat the price point. For 3 of us the bill was 24 bucks. Staff were friendly and attentive, and place was clean and had plenty of seating. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

Never had a bad experience here. I always get the tripa tacos and if I could, I'd eat it everyday all day for the rest of my life.

The atmosphere was great with great music. They're seemed to be some type of drama playing on the TV. We ordered margaritas that came out quick and we're very tasty. The green salsa was spicy and delicious. I had a pierna taco and a chicharron taco. Very delicious! The service was also splendid and we did not have to wait long for out tacos.

Mind you, it's a Tuesday night at 9pm. Flautas de pollo were bland AF chicken. Poasted, shredded with no salt to save its life. They could drown the flautas in a green salsa but blandness of the flautas can't be covered. Rice? Basic. Beans? Boring. Underseasoned flautas + basic rice + boring beans = mediocre food Add $50-$60 all in, it's overpriced mediocre food. Had the food been well seasoned, there would have been no food complaints. When a restaurant sends out so so food, it's like tying its own shoe laces and tripping over itself. You had 1 job: prepare your own kitchen menu well. They did not understand the assignment. Houston is full of mediocre tex mex; this place joins the list of one and done places. If you look at the plate where the flautas was served on, the plate is chipped in different places. 3 years in business, they should have new plates rotating in to take out the damaged plates from reaching diners. Now what happened next could create the scene for a future TV show: Dining Room Nightmares. These two bar flies arrived and started narrating their reality tv life which includes fights, arguments, and dumb things they are doing. Shameless, loud AF, unapologetic, very much in their FAFO era. The male bartender egging them on as if he were that enthusiastic bestie, that enables bad life choices. In the spirit of "oh no you didn't girl." hahaha What makes it worse is that these two women are bartender friends. The mentality is "the customer is always right" so that if they are loud, obnoxious, crude, it is what the customer chooses to do. Meanwhile, I was just trying to eat flautas and churros with my mom not trying to become an aspiring Netflix documentarian. Dining Room Nightmares remains a concept, without a TV show pilot. Dining out should not require a documentary to document how LOUD, CRUDE, and how LONG they were misbehaving that evening. We should not need video receipts to capture mayhem in the middle of dinner. Apparently, it's a taste issue to not want to hear 30 minutes of dropping f bombs, b&:&;, and all manner of expletive language. I am not expecting Disney standards, but basic common consideration to diners. For fact checking purposes, the facts from this diner remain: - Tap water - Mediocre food. - Overpriced - Mismanagement of bad drinkers Juan, later goes on to says the water is filtered. The comedy writes itself: "The water filters are sooooo old, you cannot tell the water is filtered." hahaha. It shows how restaurant maintenance is cutting corners and skipping basics. Come on now, all it takes is 1-3 sips to know tap water is tap water. No PhD in water needed.

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.

Our server was really nice and did a good job keeping up with such a large table, especially with the restaurant being so busy.

Overall, I'd say it's a good place for a group celebration if you're looking for good food, fun drinks, and a lively atmosphere!

We sat across the way on their little tent set-up. It was bright, air conditioned, and decorated nicely for a tent; you honestly don't even know besides the windows. Service was quick - we ordered and our dishes came out in at a steady pace. Now the guacamole, so simple but one of the best guac I've tasted in awhile. With tomatillo chimichurri and todo seasoning served with tostadas, it was delightful. I would go back just for the guac. Tiradito de Hamachi - a Crudo with green apple ponzu, pickled jazz apples and chile and lime. So fresh and yummy! Hearts of Palm salad was refreshing and packed with so much flavor. We enjoyed it so much. Steak and Eggs had to is amazing sauce and was cooked perfectly. Masa cornbread was fantastic with a chorizo gravy. The texture was wonderful on them. We also had masa pancakes - perfectly fluffy, gritty like cornbread, my son loved it! The peach and cream on top was great but you can eat this thing by itself. Lightly sweetened and spectacular.

This was probably the worst restaurant experience I have had in a while…read more Let me preface this by saying I am a gm in the restaurant industry while my husband has been in management and serving for the last 15 years. This is an industry we strive to make better and create memorable experiences for customers. Tonight was definitely an experience to remember but it was not a positive one. To start my mother in law and sister In law arrived at 730 while my husband, mother and myself arrived at 745. I missed the server (Aisha's) greet which would given me more insight Into her ability to be personable because when we arrived she was anything but. Hardly a smile, but she did make sure to try to upsell which I did appreciate as a manager. It seemed she was more of an order taker than an experience maker which is fine but for a restaurant like candante I would hope you would seek out more than the bare minimum. I wish I could say the service was the only issue but it was not. The story continues. They sat us at table 12 which was the second booth from the back which was fine since we couldn't see the bathrooms but not ideal. Apparently this was the area for the servers to do side work and start closing first. I understand rolling silverware but you don't have to bang it right behind us while I'm trying to take a bite of my fajita taco. As soon as I did take a bite I realized the beans were ice cold and to my dismay my mothers food was cold as well. She asked them to heat it up after waiting for ten minutes to flag our waitress which we never found which was why we flagged a busboy. Not to mention our food was delivered without tortillas, prebussing or plates which we also had to flag a busboy for. The waitress did not come back until about fifteen minutes after we recieved our food and when she did she made sure to ask if we want any more food because the kitchen is closing. We only had our food for fifteen minutes and it felt like she was rushing us to get out. When we told her no she proceeded to come back at 837 and ask again. At this point I couldn't eat. They were stacking chairs to my left while people were sweeping to my right and in front of me I have a waitress that is making us feel like we are not only inconveniencing her but a bother. Mind you she was not rude but In these situations you need to be able to bounce back and gauge your audience. I am disappointed to say the least especially because I never saw a manager nor did they stop by once. It's important to touch all of your tables to ensure they are being served up to standards. We did end up staying until 945 because people were staring at us directly In front of our table. I understand labor and how cuts work but that's the name of the game. Sometimes I have let customers stay hour to an hour and a half after we close. It's not ideal but my needs are not more important than my customers. I really hope you all work on your service standards, table touching, and food standards as well.
