    Barbacoa quesadilla
    Nick S.

    We had a great evening stopping in to Super La Mexicana recently. After a day of running errands and shopping, we were heading home and needed a bite to eat. We were in a newer area for us southwest of NRG stadium and found that they had positive reviews online. It almost appears to be a convenience store on the outside and easy to overlook, but once you step inside you see a number of tables and booths, a wall of baked items on your right, and an order counter in the back. We were warmly greeted by an older gentleman who was so friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The menu has lots of Mexican staples. I went a bit basic with a quesadilla filled with barbacoa, but it was one of the best barbacoa dishes I've had thus far in Houston. What made it to the top of the list? It was as flavorful as any other barbacoa but not overly oily or fatty. My partner, who is a bit more adventurous, tried the Menudo, which is a traditional soup with tripe (cow stomach). The broth was quite good, with a bit of spice but not too much heat. Their chips and salsa appeared to both be homemade, which was another nice treat. Pricing was very reasonably. We'll definitely be back to try more.

    Huevos a la mexicana

    The photos and previous reviews fooled me. I thought this was a convenience store with a kitchen in the back, and there are visible signs that this was a corner convenience store at one time. There are remnants of aisles near the back but now the most visible stall is the pan dulce. I expected an overhead menu display like in previous photos but that seems to be gone too. They gave me photocopies of what looked like a cardboard menu to look at. I came here because my usual breakfast spot nearby was closed for the week.I was the only customer eating a late breakfast at 10am but I think there were pickup orders while I was eating. The counter girl was also the lone server but I heard her interacting with the kitchen in the back. Ordered the Huevos a la Mexicana. The eggs were somewhat dry but that is the only quibble. The beans and the potatoes had good flavour. Green sauce had a kick but not much flavour beyond that. Prices were reasonable.

    Small place. Looks clean when you walk in, the waitress was very welcoming. Now when it comes to the food I don't have as many good things to say. I was very excited to try this place because some comments I read on Google claim they have the "best menudo in town". I couldn't disagree more. Not only is their red sauce extremely oily and inedible but let me fill you in on my experience, I ordered one of their tacos, a taco the lengua and the lengua STILL HAD THE SKIN so I couldn't eat the taco. I was very disgusted and began to doubt the cleanliness of their food. If they didn't take the time to clean the tongue what else don't they take the time to do before they serve food? Definitely won't be coming here again.

    I tried this place out because it has high ratings and reviews on here. It was near NRG stadium and since I was at NRG, decided to get dinner and try this place out. Not more that i can say, but the underwhelming food. It was horrible and not edible. The tacos were dry, bland and not fresh. The meat was definitely re-heated from the night before. The meat smells bad and fishy. Holy moly!!! One of the worst tacos I have ever had. I dont care about the service, ambience etc, if the food aren't good, I will not go back. I would not recommend this to anyone. Save your money and go elsewhere. SMH felt like i wasted my $15 Food 4/10 Price 5.5/10 Service 7/10 Ambience 6.5/10

    Great tacos, made to order while you wait, for dine in or to go. That Barbacoa was especially good. It is definitely worth a stop. A decent selection of pastries on hand also.

    Al pastor torta.
    Tom C.

    I tend to love a good divey place. The fact that this place looks like a half abandoned convenience store from the outside only makes me feel like I have uncovered hidden treasure. In truth, I think there may be some actual treasure here, but I had a really hard time finding it. I went in with some co-workers for lunch, and while the food was good, nothing stood out to us as truly exceptional. The kind of meal where you leave satisfied but not necessarily in a rush to come back. Guacamole was really fresh, but bland. My al pastor torta was decent and used great bread, but didn't overwhelm me with flavor. Our server was exceptionally sweet, but it definitely helps here if you know a little Spanish. Several items on our order didn't come out correctly (beef fajitas instead of chicken, plain tostada instead of shrimp, etc.). No one was unhappy with their meals in the end. Not sorry we came by, but to be honest, probably would not return.

    This place is so good! It's really cozy inside too. Salsa was amazing, nice and warm!
    Eden S.

    This place is so good! It's nice to have neighborhood places like this. The salsa was really good, nice and warm and not too salty. I really enjoyed my chicken tacos. They were street style which is my favorite! The inside is cute and cozy. I'll be back soon!

    Beef fajita torta 4/5
    Lauren M.

    Great service! Torta beef fajita and torta pastor 4/5: the bread is nice and toasted, crispy lettuce, plenty of avocado and tomato. The meats can be caramelized more on the grill but seasoned well. They added a good amount of crema too. Barbacoa quesadilla $1.99. Get in on flour, dont get the large, get like 5 of these and you'll be set! Its sooo good. I normally eat barbacoa taco style (corn tortilla, with onion and cilantro) but its excellent in quesadilla form! I am sad that i gave half of it to my son. I live close by so i will definitely be back!

    Dat burrito!!!! HUGE!!

Met the ladies here to celebrate, & break bread…read more Thank you Jamila for selecting this original location of the Original Ninfas, to host, (our last supper, before your relocation from Houston to Florida.). A place I grew up in as a little girl in Beaumont but never have I've visit this "original" location. Stepping in to this spot felt like a restaurant in the country of Mexico. I ordered the El Henry. I absolutely loved my dish, only thing I would've chance was the cheese enchilada definitely would've swap for a chicken or beef one, or maybe even a flaunta. I really like the Mexican rice, it had little potatoes and carrots in it. Some of the best Mexican yellow rice I've had. They offer a cinco de mayo drink special. The only thing that seem to make it special was the drinks apparently were limited edition menu items. Nothing was special about the prices. The regular menu drinks were a dollar(s) less. The margarita I ordered first was peach coconut. I didn't taste the coconut at all. I swap for the peach strawberry ($14 or 15) which was great, sweet& strong. One did me just right. You get to select up to two flavors for additional $2 (for both verse each, that's a plus. Not worded on menu). If you select a third flavor an additional $2 would be added ($4 in total) I appreciate separate tickets provided after confirmation and no additional gratuity automatically added, which he got tip equally the same or more. When asked about the "empty" patio that was available, he informed us that the entire deck was reserved. Upon departing I noticed from the parking lot individual tables, of separate parties were occupying only 3 tables. It was 8 of us sitting at 2 tables. Which the table was pushed up against the wall, and one side was inaccessible, which took away spacing. Service was lovely space was really tight. Good thing some of the ladies didn't order full meals. Definitely wouldn't have been able to fit every plate.

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!

It definitely is enough for 2. The meat melts in your mouth. EVERYTHING is better quality than here. Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous. It reminds me that I had stopped going long ago when they charged extra for onions on enchiladas. Come on. You don't charge extra for chopped onions! I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo. Tonight they were tough & uneventful. We arrived on a week night when they were not busy. Neither of the salsas were as good as they used to be.The water pitcher didn't even have ice when they refilled the water. I have absolutely no desire to return. Why would I?

Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.
