    Chicken fajitas
    Jose C.

    Came here for an early lunch. This place was very busy, but didn't have to wait too long to get a table. My issue with this place is it seems like the entire lot was used for valet. So if you don't want to pay for valet you would have to park a little further out behind the building. We started off with their Chile con Queso. Anytime I visit Houston, ordering fajitas is a must. We did just that, ordered half steak half chicken. Most places however sell it by the pound, here it seemed you only got one option and it came with one side of rice and beans. Everywhere else I've ordered these, they serve it family style. Usually everyone at your table gets their own rice and beans. No here though. Here the fajitas are offered as an individual entree. The food was very delicious though. Both the chicken and the beef were seasoned snd cooked perfectly. The chicken was very tender and the beef had a nice char to it. The grilled onions were also very tasty. Overall we were really satisfied. It is a bit on the pricey side compared to other Tex Mex, and the unnecessary use of valet utilizing the parking lot through me off a bit. Not sure I'd return on my next visit, especially when I've already enjoyed other experiences a little more. At the least the food here is delicious and ultimately will always be the most important thing.

    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!

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

    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.

    Parilla mixta
    Javier B.

    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!

    Kristin J.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

Just go up to the pick-up window when it's supposed to be ready for a painless interaction There's a little bar area where you can get pre-packaged (to-go) salsas, pickled onions, limes, etc etc etc. the salsas are tomatillo, habanero, and jalapeño (I believe) You can order margaritas to go, which we did!
