    chorizo, eggs, papas
    Aryani N.

    Good experience, complimentary valet with tips. Mexican breakfast was good, we got potato, chorizo, egg and ordered extra crispy papas, we got 4 different types of salsa, we liked the one in the bottle that was spicy salsa verde. Service was fair, check in process decent, im not taking away for any of that because our food came out at a reasonable time as well. a highlight was the hot cakes, and when I tell you its a big portion size and can be easily shared, boy oh boy, it was good, but too big for one person, two people could easily share a single stack. Would come back!

    Came here to try the steak fajitas, which we enjoyed! The quality and flavoring of the fajita steak was good, and their tortillas were freshly baked and high quality as well. For more than $50 for the large (1/2 pound) serving, I'm not sure if it'd be worth coming back for me but still was glad to try once. The beef enchilada we got was also very good, had a rich flavor and sauce, and the chips and queso were solid. The vibe inside the restaurant is slightly more elevated than your typical Tex Mex chain.

    Went back to Superica after a couple month break! Might be crazy, but looks like portion sizes / quality has gone down slightly. Didn't take a photo this time, but the steak quesadillas were definitely plated a little less elegantly and portion size smaller. The margaritas were also pretty small. The tortilla soup was as good as usual! And service was strong! They did mess up my Open Table reservation after mixing it up with someone else's reso, but I called and they fixed it.

    Sad this place is closing . I came a week before it's replaced by a casual steakhouse and got to try their delicious carnitas

    Parilla mixta

    Finally tried Superica after being curious about it for a while. They have valet parking (I've never been a fan of this, especially for casual places like this), but there are self parking options close by. We were seated quickly and service was great right from the start. Settled on the parilla mixta for me and my two small boys and that was more than enough. It came with beef and chicken fajitas, rice, beans, and tortillas. The beef was cooked medium as requested and everything else was great. Beers are cold, but a little on the small side so I had to get 3 :). Overall a solid option for no frills, standard Tex Mex in the area done well.

    The food here is so good it's unreal. The service was amazing. Our waiter was super helpful in deciding on what to eat. My friends and I got a couple of items on the menu but my food and appetizers was my absolute favorite. I got the migas, chile quiles and a cheese foundu dish that I can't remember the name of but it was so good. The ambiance was also very much upbeat and fun. I think this will be my new go to brunch spot in Houston.

    Beans and rice
    Lorece S.

    Don't be turned off by the fact that it's a chain, it's really good. My favorite thing on the menu is their hot cakes. They're so fluffy, and the salted butter syrup is drool worthy. My husband doesn't even like pancakes and he loves these. They're huge, so you really only need one. I also really love the complimentary chips and salsa. The verde is so light and fresh, and the updated roja is smoky and flavorful. Paired with the perfectly thin and crust tortilla chip is everything. Other updates they've made are definitely an upgrade. The refried beans topped with queso fresco is great, and now comes bottomless along with the rice. Other items are standard TexMex fare, but these things make me return again and again.

    Superica is one place that we continually come back to. In our opinion, these are the best fajitas in Houston. The meat is so well cooked and is the perfect balance of tender with some crisp on the outside. There is a butter sauce that comes with the fajitas takes them to the next level. While the fajitas are the main attraction, the queso, salsa, and margaritas are all very good as well. Of note, there is complimentary valet as well as a lot to the side for parking. It is often quite busy here so you may want to come early to beat the crowds!

    Bandit Queen (order it!)
    Brittany B.

    What an interesting little spot! If you frequent the area, I'm sure you know, but the parking in this area of the Heights is WILD! Your choices are to park in their valet only lot or circle the block and risk parking in the approved lot across the street (with I arrived to to find with good visibility but shattered glass from broken car windows.) When I arrived, I almost walked straight into La Luca, which was popping next door. This spot, not so much, or possibly it was just the vibe- it felt more chill. The bar, situated off to the right side, was a bit of an odd little setting, but I have up say, the service was awesome. I watched as the bartender worked the room. I grabbed a jalapeño margarita, Bandit Queen, queso, and two shrimp tacos and everything was delicious. The Bandit Queen with tajin rim being the standout (but to be fair, if you add chamoy, tajin, or guava to anything, I'm more inclined to like it.) If I return I'll definitely do so for breakfast/lunch because their hotcakes are bigger than my fast. That, and the customer service were the big winners for this spot!

    I came here recently with some friends and we had a blast! The vibes inside were so chill and "homey" and the patio was really pretty, and is enclosed with greenery, which makes it very relaxing! The food was excellent. I had the cheese enchiladas. They were so flavorful. Our server was excellent as well. The only thing is parking is a bit limited due to it sharing the same parking lot with La Lucha. Overall, I will be coming back!

    Went for a solo brunch a few weeks ago and chose to just sit at the bar. They seemed really busy (which is great!) but that meant it took a little while for the bartender to greet me and get my meal started. I didn't mind at all since I wasn't in any rush and both bartenders were very friendly and continued to check on me throughout my meal. Sadly they were out of horchata so I'll have to come back to try that! I was torn because the entire brunch menu sounded delicious, but ended up going with the chorizo, potato & eggs which was soooo good. I've heard their pancakes are also amazing so I definitely want to come back with a group and try more of the brunch menu!

    Steak Fajitas
    Neena M.

    After trying Superica earlier this year and being underwhelmed, we gave it another try and found out they revamped the menu. We ordered the heights margaritas, happy hour queso, and the steak fajitas. Everything was great!

    Margarita and chips and salsa
    Waverly H.

    Very nice and lovely restaurant. I would definitely bring my friends here. Came on a Saturday for lunch and was sat immediately right by the nice big window watching everyone pull up or leave the restaurant (great people watching table). Service was very attentive, our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. Staff was friendly and all working in unison. The food here is seasoned so flavor is popping in every dish (Thank you Superica!). Chips and salsas are very good. Started with the guacamole which was also good. I had the crispy tacos with charro beans (so good). My friend had the vegetable enchiladas which are also very good. I will definitely have that next time I am at this establishment. My margarita on the rocks was so delicious (very well balanced). We ended lunch with the tres leches cake which is also very delicious and very satisfying. Superica did not skip a beat. Very lively restaurant with an energetic spirit. I will definitely be back.

    Tacos Dona Lena is a very well known restaurant that has fed me twice recently and I enjoyed both…read morevisits. Parking is in front of the restaurant located in a strip center. Inside it is a one room eatery with counter service. My first visit was to try the Birria Burrito for $16 with the meal delivered about 10 minutes later. It consisted of their Birria meat cooked for 4 hours mixed with chorizo, cheese, rice, beans and sour cream all wrapped in a large flour tortilla seasoned with their special red colored seasoning. With the meal came a cup of consomne'. Guy Fieri would say, Welcome to Flavortown! It was delicious. The Birria beef was so tender and the flavored flour tortilla with that proprietary red seasoning they use was perfect. It was a very filling meal and well worth the price. So much so, I thought about it the next day. Another visit was to try one of their specialities, the Quesabirria for $14. This meal consisted of 3 grilled and crispy corn tortillas seasoned again with their special red colored magic dust. The tortillas had the delicious Birria meat and cheese inside and I again loved them. The tortillas are only slightly crispy and the meat, cheese and tortillas memorable. This meal also came with a cup of consommé for dipping. Another nice thing about eating here is the customer service. The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The guy bussing the tables acted more like the owner than an employee with his helpfulness and the actual manager came out to check on us. Impressive for a counter service restaurant. Tacos Dona Lena deserves its reputation as one of the best restaurants of its kind. Incredible food and employees all at very reasonable prices. When I think of tacos and burritos, this place is what comes to mind!

    Allow me to be Review No. 1,100 following my visit to this wonderful culinary gem yesterday…read more By default, Spring Branch is Houston's Koreatown, but it's not unusual to find establishments with Spanish-language branding on them throughout the neighborhood. And Tacos Doña Lena, on which I'll heap tons of praise on, is among them. A group of friends and I had supper here before a live show down the street at Eighteen Ten Ojeman. Upon seeing the storefront when we pulled into the parking lot, my first thought was, "Okay, this is legit Mexican, not Tex-Mex." The interior is quite small with some tables and an ample late Saturday afternoon crowd. What caught my eye is how the environment is what you might expect to find at a family-run taqueria off the beaten path. Rock en Español blaring from the sound system. Colorful papel picado draped from the ceiling. A framed Mexican flag and several references to the central Mexican municipality of Guanajuato. The intoxicating smell of spice-laced grilled beef wafting through the air. Simply put, we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto. I glanced at the menu. There are numerous, delicious-sounding items that happen to be wallet-friendly, a bit cheaper than if you were to go to Gringos or Jimmy Changas. According to a mutual, the tacos here are the main draw, but what really caught my attention and appetite was the ramen birria. Mujeres y caballeros (ladies and gentlemen), let me proclaim that Tacos Doña Lena turns a noodle dish with origins in Japan and is a known staple in college dorm rooms into a must-try on this part of America's fourth-largest city. Two amazing food cultures unite for a fiery meeting of the minds. Anchored by a rich, tasty consomé that's spicy but not enough to where you need to drink multiple glasses of water, there's a prime mix of ramen noodle, beef birria, cheese, fried egg, rabanos, garbazo, and corn accompanied by cilantro, onions, and a pair of fried tostadas. I was so impressed with how the contents of the ramen blended together. Since it was ramen after all despite the south of the border touchup, I still ate it the traditional way: pick up the noodles and sip the soup. There was so much that I had no choice but to put it in a takeout container. Sure, Spring Branch may be home to some great traditional Korean restaurants, but don't sleep on Tacos Doña Lena.

Since it was my first time here, I ended up ordering 1 chorizo and 1 asada taco, churros, limon aguas, and my friend got the asada taco as well and a hortchata! Since it was super busy (especially on saturday night) it was about a 30 minute wait foe our food but it was well worth it! They hand out free chicharrones and they were super crunchy and a nice snack while we waited for our food. The limon aguas was super refreshing especially in the summer heat and the horchata was really good! We sat at the counter top that overlooks the kitchen. I love that the open kitchen concept so you can see them making your food right in front of you! Everything smelled so good so I was excited for my food. I love that they give radishes, cucumbers, and plenty of limes on the side. I definitely love all of the toppings and the more the better! I tried all of the salsas and the salsa de chile de arbol was by far my favorite! super spicy but had so much flavor. The chorizo was good but a little dry for my liking. I did just want to try it so I can try more than one flavor but I think I would get it again as a breakfast taco with egg instead. The asada was my favorite of the two so much flavor and plenty of meat! I was content with these 2 tacos but I could have definitely eaten more if we didn't order churros as well! The churros came with classic condensed milk and dulce de leche which is just carmelized condensed milk. The churros were crunchy and warm on the outside and had a chewy texture like mochi on the inside! Super yummy and not too sweet! I liked both sauces and would definitely get this again. Overall, I had a great experience and I will be craving the tacos until the next time I can come back! I can't wait to try a lot of their other menu items as well. Definitely recommend!
