    I think this was the deluxe taco
    Peter S.

    "I definitely feel like I got bamboozled by the reviews. I came here this morning and ordered 2 deluxe tacos and a Randy. The bacon on everything was burnt -- not crispy, just burnt. The deluxe tacos barely seemed to have any sauce or other meat besides the burnt bacon, and the Randy mostly tasted like burnt bacon and onions. I honestly couldn't taste much of anything else. Really disappointing experience."

    KATY, TX / MEXICAN / TAKEOUT BREAKFAST +The sauces has a nice kick to them. -The tacos too salty for me. -There we're some sanitary concerns with the takeout packaging methods.

    Beef fajitas taco

    They were a little hard to find as they are located across the street from a shell station. Their address brings you to a corner where there are 4 food trucks! They are on the side all alone and are setup semi permanently. I found them on Yelp when I looked for tacos. I ordered a couple of beef fajitas tacos and they did not disappoint. I would definitely return just for them. There's a pretty extensive menu of choices. There is a couple of tables with umbrellas to wait under and a covered area with seating also. I will definitely return to try a few different tacos.

    If y'all haven't found this gem... woooooDogggggy- ya missing out!! Seriously, hands down the best breakfast tacos and NOW they have BURRITOS! Honestly, it was too much food for me, but I had to get it once. The sheer size of this thing- remote for context. They do bulk orders if you're looking to feed a crowd and open at 6am. Next time you're in the area, please give them a try. No picture, but the Aqua Fresca Piña is also amazing!!

    Fajita quesadilla
    Amy B.

    I was super excited to try this place out based on all of the reviews, but unfortunately did not have the same experience. The service was great and the employees were sweet, but I was disappointed with the food. I ordered fajita, barbacoa, and Al pastor tacos and a fajita quesadilla. Despite the picture and how it looks, the barbacoa was the best in terms of flavor. The food is definitely not what you would expect from an authentic Mexican food truck. They put tomatoes and lettuce in their tacos and quesadillas. If you look at the cheese in the quesadilla, you can tell they used shredded mixed blend cheese that you can get from the grocery store. The Al pastor and fajita meat were pretty dry also. One of the pros of the place is that they don't skimp with the meat.

    Breakfast burrito as big as my hand for $6

    Best tacos in not only Katy but all of Houston as well. Friendly service, place has been here forever but I only just found it! Don't be like me. Go here today and you'll have found Katy's best kept secret! Don't be fooled by the other imposter trucks on the same corner. TEX-TACO OR NO TACO IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO!

It's one of our special spots now because every visit feels like we're coming home. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the owner with such genuine warmth that we instantly felt like family. It reminded me of being at my grandma's house, where everyone is welcomed with a smile and every meal is made with love. The food is incredible--fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Not only is the quality outstanding, but the portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. It's becoming harder to find restaurants that offer both amazing quality and great portion sizes, and Castillo's delivers on both. The service is just as exceptional. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and truly cares about making your experience memorable. If you're looking for a place with delicious homemade food, generous portions, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like family, Castillo's is the place to go. My wife and I will definitely be back many more times. Highly recommend!

A special shoutout to Ulises, who made our experience exceptional. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and fast without ever making us feel rushed. Since it was our first time visiting, they even surprised us with complimentary corn on the cob, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was outstanding and came out surprisingly quickly. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My husband was also impressed by the attention to detail throughout the restaurant--even the restroom was stocked with everything you could think of, from toothpicks to mouthwash, which was especially appreciated after enjoying all the delicious corn and black beans! It's rare to find a restaurant that combines amazing food, excellent service, and thoughtful hospitality so well. We left already talking about our next visit, and we can't wait to come back and try their margaritas. Highly recommend!

    We had one of the worst dining experiences ever at Ambriza La Centerra. After living in Houston for…read more15 years and dining all over the city, this was by far the most disappointing restaurant experience we've had. What made it even more frustrating is that we've been to the Cypress location many times, and every single visit there has been exceptional -- great food, great service, and consistently enjoyable. Unfortunately, the La Centerra location was the complete opposite. We waited over an hour for our food, only to receive the wrong appetizer. The fajita plate arrived cold and without rice, beans, or tortillas. We sent both dishes back. The replacement appetizer -- ceviche tostadas -- finally arrived, but it was overloaded with lemon to the point of being unbearably sour. Meanwhile, there were still no tortillas, rice, or beans in sight. No drink refills, no updates, and barely any service during the entire wait. After another long stretch of waiting, we finally asked the server what was happening, only for her to return and tell us the kitchen was closing and they no longer had tortillas, rice, or beans available. At that point, after nearly 1.5 hours, we walked out with nothing but a to-go box of fajita meat. To the manager's credit, they removed the appetizer and fajita charges from the bill, but the experience itself left such a bad taste that it completely overshadowed the gesture. Extremely disappointing, especially compared to the excellent standards we've experienced at the Cypress location. Sadly, we will not be returning to this location.

Our fajita meat today was old, and smelled off. We requested medium but it came beyond gray, and zero char- it was sweaty. This showed up within four minutes. The rice was dried out. The beans were, too. As I said- two thirds of the time is great. Sometimes bad visits happen. Then comes the annoying dance: I do *not* want a manager. I sure didn't need an argument (!) from the server about cooking theory. Not looking for free food. We were very hungry and now have to go find another restaurant. We paid and we left. All done. No desire to keep playing roulette with which experience we can expect, and the server pushback was the kicker. You'll be fine without us.

This place is huge and can hold a lot of people, but I appreciate that they're not trying to cram as much people in as possible. There is ample spacing between tables and walk ways. Although it was busy, we did not wait long at all. Even the food that we ordered came out pretty quickly! We ordered the chicken fajitas for two and regular size queso. The chicken fajitas for two was enough to feed my husband, me, and our two little boys. The tortillas were sooo good! The queso was decent. It's pretty expensive for the portion that you get. I thought the fajitas were alright as well. It was good, but I still wanted to dip it into something. I believe that a good fajita doesn't require any extra sauce. haha We also got the sopapillas for dessert and it was alright as well. Overall, I would rate the food as a 3.5 or 4 out of 5. However, the main reason why I gave a 5 star is because we had an AMAZING waitress. Her name is Sarah and LET - ME - TELL - YOU -ABOUT - HER. Sarah was literally smiling and cheery the ENTIRE time. She was not only like that when she was serving us, but she was even walking around like that. She was polite, friendly, patient, respectful, and just a delight to interact with. She was on top of things, too! We never had to ask her to refill anything because she automatically did it. I also love how she placed our dishes on the table. It was symmetrical and esthetic. The restaurant was also super loud but once when she was walking away and I called out her name, SHE HEARD ME. She was very attentive. Seriously, she was awesome. Come to Gringo's, not for the food, but for Sarah! lol
