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

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.

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.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

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.

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.
