I came here for lunch with friends and a couple of our kids. We had a party of 5. We got here…read morepretty much right when they opened and it was a week day so we weren't concerned that they'd be too busy. My son and I were the first to arrive and we weren't sure how long we'd be waiting for the others who were running behind... so instead of keeping a toddler cooped up in a car seat, and then immediately moving to a high chair, I decided to sit outside with him and let him walk around. It was a nice day and he enjoyed the Adirondack chairs they have on the patio. They were low enough for him to easily climb into/out of and he had a great time outside while we waited. I noticed that they had a couple of large parties that were coming in right when they opened as well. So this is clearly a good spot to take a group. When the rest of our party arrived, we had already made it inside and were sitting in the front waiting area where they have plenty of space and several benches for people to sit during a wait. We were sat immediately and I opted for a booster seat instead of a high chair since we were sat at a half booth/half table and I was able to put my son in between me and my sister. The food and service were both good. I didn't get some amazing dish that you can't find anywhere else... I got nachos... but my sister got a shrimp salad that looked great. I'll definitely try something different when I go back, but I was kind of in a hurry this trip. I WILL say that I really appreciate the way they do the nachos. Each chip had its own topping instead of a pile of chips with everything on top of them. Our waitress was kind and attentive. I think her name was Jasmine. We had a great time and were in and out fairly quickly. The kids meal has a ticket on the back for a free ice cream. We did not get the ice cream because I wasn't about to give my child ice cream right before his nap... but it was a nice gesture. I offered it to my friend's daughter, but she didn't want it. We had a great time together and I didn't even know this location was here, but I'm glad I do know because I think I'd come back here even though it's a little further of a drive for me. Definitely worth a visit.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Overall: 4.3/5 Definitely solid Tex-Mex. I'll start off with the positive. This place is extremely inviting and creates the vibe immediately from the moment you stop outside. The fajita beef is SO GOOD this is definitely a must get if you're eating in the restaurant since it is so hot and tender when it comes out on the sizzling platter. In fact, most of the dishes are good. The appetizer we got (I believe it was the Nachos Compuestos) was not my favorite, since I think the ratio of frijoles to everything else is a little overwhelming, but it was still good. The only thing I didn't like from the large amount of food we got was the fish taco. It was just kind of dry and fishy. Not very good or fresh tasting at all. I hope this was just a fluke and it usually tastes good, but it stands out as by far the weakest dish on otherwise great meal. I was actually a little skeptical of this place and thought it would just be like any other Tex-Mex. And in some ways it is. But man do I just love their fajita beef so much that I would go back for that alone!

Service is always great and attentive, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. We usually order the street tacos, but our family has tried a variety of items off the menu and everything has been excellent. The green salsa deserves a special shoutout -- it's spicy in the best way and keeps you coming back for more. We already know we'll be ending our December cruise here, and we can't wait.

**UPDATE** It's been…read morea minute since I've patronized this joint, aside from a couple of to-go breakfast orders through the years, but it is still just as delicious as it was when I wrote my first review more than a decade ago. Everything in my previous review stands, but I will add this time around that the cheese enchiladas here might be the bet I have had in the greater Houston area. They are wrapped in firm, uber-thin corn tortillas and almost overstuffed with real cheese. The chicken mole enchiladas also get there. No two moles are alike, and this can best be described as rich and (spicy) warm with a slight hint of sweet. Delicious indeed.

The atmosphere was perfect for a date with my husband and our waiter Juan R. was absolutely fantastic. He knew the menu and was able to suggest an amazing dish. Juan's passion for his job showed through his customer service.

We will definitely be back.

**This is a 3.5 star rating.**…read more The food and service here are good, while the atmosphere is excellent. We came here with friends on a Thursday night. The place was busy but not overly crowded. Chips and salsas were brought to the table immediately, and our server didn't rush us to order. Though I'm typically a bean and cheese nacho guy, the chicken and beef fajita nachos here were delicious and, believe it or not, they didn't seem heavy. They keep the Pozole Verde traditional here, with some cilantro on the side. Though I didn't try it, our friend said it was delicious. I had my eyes on the Cecina Plate, which is a classic dish from Mexico of very thinly sliced beef that has been air-dried (sort of like jerky) and then cooked, sliced and served to go on a tortilla, along with some grilled queso fresco and avocado. The flavor was good, but the meat itself was a little on the tough side. (Authentic Mexican cecina is supposed to be juicy and very tender -- almost soft.) Still I enjoyed it, as I did the refried beans, which weren't overloaded with lard like so many other versions out there. I only wish that the plate had come with the salsa macha as advertised. I asked our server about it, and he said "They're warming it in the kitchen, and it'll be right out." It never arrived. Speaking of salsa, if you are one of the three people who read my reviews, you know that I'm a salsa snob. Rule #1 -- no cumin. Rule #2 -- salsa is better when it is served cold. These folks abided by my first rule, but they serve the salsa warm here. It's a roasted salsa and was actually quite flavorful, but it would be so much better served cold. The green salsa here has wonderful jalapeno flavor and plenty of bite. This place definitely knows how to create salsa. Bottom Line: I plan on returning. I glanced at some traditional Tex-Mex platters as I was walking through the place, and they looked divine. I'm looking forward to trying them.

The place was packed and there was a line of people waiting - I knew that was a good sign! The line moved fast and the staff were like worker bees - everybody getting the tables cleaned, people seated and orders taken with in minutes of sitting down. Mary the Manager never missed a beat - she was making it all happen and made it look effortless - with a smile on her face. Our server SAL was top notch, explained everything on the menu that I drilled him about - really painted a picture of what the items was all about, helped me with making a selection! Give that kid a Gold Star - he is my server for life at Red OAK. He took care of us with a smile and quick service, what a shining star they got when they hired him! Now for the food - mercy is all I can say - the biscuits were out of this world - flaky, fluffy and fabulous! I got the Breakfast special and everything on the plate was perfect - the bacon was nice and crisp, hash browns were golden and egg really over easy - cooked to perfection. THE Pancakes - eyes rolling back in head - the biggest, fluffy golden brown things you have every seen and the syrup came in a glass carafe that warm syrup was an extra special touch. The coffee was their own brand and the flavors were Pecan and Cinnamon, very smooth, and very hot and refilled often. Do yourself a favor and go to Red Oak Cafe in League City on Main Street and ask for Sal and get ready for a great expericence and excellent food and service! I live in Woodlands Tx and will drive 60 miles again to eat at this place!

And I am always looking for places where you feel like you've taken a time machine back to the 60's. Is it possible? I'm tempted to call this one of the greatest Tex Mex combo plates in Texas. But there are too many restaurants vying for that title. So, if I call it the 2nd greatest combo plate in Texas, I'm probably safe. But seriously, (on the day that I went, that is), it was vintage, it was classic, it was perfect. Big scoop of delicious guacamole. Perfectly realized Mexican rice (with just the right hint of cumin). Excellent frijoles refritos (made with manteca). A mild and perfectly seasoned chili gravy covering cheesy enchiladas.And, as you'll see from the photos, they make their own leche quemada, and it is chock full of pecans. Highly recommended. It's worth the road trip. You can have fun visiting all of the antique shops on Main Street and then having your terrific Tex Mex lunch.

My problem and this is not just with this place is what is the true cost of rice and beans? How about tortillas, chips and salsa. Oh then there is cheese. Mostly a lot. And then they squeeze you on the meat portions but even the meat can't be that much. I grocery shop darn near daily so I have some sort of idea on cost News flash customers, we are getting taken advantage of. Nothing against this place. They are doing what every other TexMex place is doing and it's called price gouging. They're trying to survive but at our expense. I'm sorry, but I can't keep doing this. I always end up leaving irritated or feel like I've been taking advantage of at the end of the meal.
