Decided to venture out and try a new spot, and it was a hit! As soon as you walk in, you can sense the warm and welcoming environment. They have a good variety to choose from as well. The staff were very nice and attentive. The margarita packed a punch (had to take more than half of it home) maybe I'm a lightweight, but shootttt, that concoction had me buzzing. As for the Tampiquena I ordered, it was so gooddd and very satiating. The beef was so tender that I could break it apart with my fingers. The rice and beans weren't crazy but for a Tex mex place, I was pleasantly surprised. read more

I've been to Tavo's quite a few times. I've had times when I love the food and I've had times when the food was just okay. For the most part, I usually order fajitas. I stopped by Tavo's this past weekend and ordered my usual. My meal consisted of a queso, a kids plate, fajitas for two and a Diet Coke. When I went to pay, I was a little surprised at the cost. With gratuity, my bill came to almost $100. To me, this was overpriced for a neighborhood restaurant. If you're cool with overpriced neighborhood food, the staff are friendly and attentive. The place is clean and I've never been there to find it overly crowded. There are a few options in close proximity with more favorable pricing. read more

This was our 3rd time eating here 1st time we only had appetizers the shrimp cocktail is a little sweet but delicious and the cheese sauce was ok. The hot sauce was bland and the tomatillo sauce was thick all 3 visits. Fajitas were ok way over marinated the rice was good everything else was bland but the real downside was the ice tea tasted really sour, thought maybe it was the ice but the charro beans had the same sewer taste as well. I told the waiter he said ok and brought me another tea and water both tasted the same, really bad. The restrooms were clean and stocked. Overall the food was bland just not seasoned well. And the water quality is highly questionable. read more

The service was great and the late Tavos sister waited on us. The restaurant was very clean and open also. They have a nice bar and selection of your ready for some libations. The tacos were good but they both had cheese and we didn't ask for cheese no worries. Keep in mind the menudo does not come with homony and I'm glad they asked me if I wanted some. Even though I wanted homony they didn't add much and at that point I didn't want to have to ask for more. We'll definitely go again soon and try there caldo de rez. read more

I had a pretty good experience at tacos Mexican grill! Food was good, service was great, and the vibe was nice. I stopped in around 7pm on a Tuesday. There were just a few people in the restaurant, which was pretty nice. The server was super amazing and attentive + our food came out really quickly! I got the shredded chicken enchiladas, which were pretty good. I was surprised that the chicken in the enchilada wasn't dry - usually this is tough to get right! I do wish the refried beans were a bit more traditional, although I appreciated the way they were prepared. Overall, the food was decent & the service was excellent. It was a nice chill place to go. read more

Came here for a weekday lunch and it was a relatively light crowd. As such, our food came out quickly. It was hot and fresh. I ordered the build your own combo lunch special with chicken, beef and cheese enchilada and I added a crispy beef taco on the side. They remembered to not include tomatoes on my taco which was nice. I liked the taste of the enchiladas, they were distinctly different - if I had to stack rank them, I would order them as beef, cheese and chicken as first, second and third, respectively. I liked the taco -the shell was crispy but the beef was juicy so it didn't stick together, but It fell apart masterfully, so I didn't sweat it. The beef had great seasoning and that's what made the taco and the enchiladas stand out. My companion ordered the puffy tacos -one beef and one chicken, and she also agreed the beef was her favorite. She is also a lover of beef enchiladas and she gave these a thumbs up. They have happy hour all day on Mondays and Tuesdays, which include sealed drinks to go. My companion tried the sangria flavored, it wasn't the best she ever had, but she did finish it -her concern was that it had more sangria than margarita. We learned about the Wednesday fajita special, so who knows, we will likely return one day. I am happy to have found a great Mexican restaurant in this area that I can trust. Also, I believe our server was Lorena- she was very friendly and one of the main reasons I'll likely return! read more

I have been here a couple of times and I have to say, that every time I had excellent service and the food was delicious. The person taking my order, Yolanda, knew that I was Muslim and immediately told me which foods would be safe for me to eat and I appreciate her so much. She told me which ones had pork so I knew which ones to avoid. There was someone whose name tag I didn't notice, but he kept asking if we were doing all right, and if the food was okay. So, they really take care of their customers. They start you out with great chips-- they weren't too hard or salty, which was perfect, with a warm tomatoe salsa and a cold green sauce. Both are delicious. I've had the shrimp quesadillas and the fish tacos, and the veggie enchilada. I was most surprised by the veggie enchilada, because I thought it would have grilled veggies inside, but I was pleasantly surprised that the veggies were carrots, black beans and zucchini, and the food tasted very healthy and fresh. It was different, but so good. There were a few different things on the menu that I need to go back to try! Would recommend to anyone-- it's a solid place for Mexican food and the best I've had in Spring. read more

Best cheese enchiladas in the whole world. And the atomica sauce really sets everything off!!

Food was great, chips and salsa were absolutely killer. Loved the red sauce. The green was great too. Chips are that perfect crispy. Marg on the rocks is your typical Tex mex drink so nothing too special there. But that food... the chimmy with the ground beef. Stellar. Rice was delicious beans are good too. Quaint little spot. Pretty full for a Friday night but service was wonderful and the staff worked like a team. Great place. read more

Have to rate it 5-star simply based on the manner in which Lorena and Manuel handled my meal experience. Ordered the Mixed Fajitas Ay Ay Ay for two; knew that it would be spicy and Manuel confirmed, but was not prepared for the dousing of radioactive Habanero sauce that the Fajita came in. While the sauce itself in small quantities served to enhance Salsa flavors, so much of it covering the entire dish was unexpected (wasn't aware that spicy meant that). Could barely get through 1/3 of the meal - Manuel noticed I was uncomfortable and upon my mentioning that the dish was too fiery, he brought in Lorena, the owner. She was extremely gracious, understood my predicament, and instructed that a new Fajita dish sans the spicy sauce be prepared. The replacement dish was just fine, meats were tender and tasty. The other dish was a grilled chicken healthy bowl, which tasted fine. Overall, turned out to be a winner. The meal with taxes and tip ran $80. These are people who genuinely care that you have a good experience. Do visit them and try their fare. read more

Tavos Mexican Grill - Mixed Fajitas Ay Ay Ay - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

Great for TexMex! We tried the enchiladas, fajitas & it was great...again for TexMex. Will return.

Why 4 stars? Because it was a pretty typical Tex-Mex experience. --- --- --- I say this every time I write a review for a Tex-Mex place: how do they all stay open? There are 10 million of them in the Houston metro and the difference between the worst one and the best one is like 10%. But hey, I guess I can't be too dumbfounded when I've been to like 2 million of them. I guess I am perpetually on the hunt for the one that's way better than the rest. The good: The beef fajita meat, the onions & the flour tortillas. The okay: The chips, the yellow queso, the rice and the fixins. The bad: The smell inside and the beans. When we walked in, it really reeked of cleaning products mixed with something pretty rank. My wife went to the restroom and said it was a lot worse in there. But it either died down or we just got used to it by the end of the meal. The service was kind of a mix. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive, but almost too attentive. There was a rotation of a server, someone else, and a manager coming to our table and they all would ask us the same question, about 90 seconds a part. "More chips?" "More chips?" "More chips?" Again, I feel bad even complaining because they were all super nice. But I think they need to check in with each other to avoid that. It happened the entire meal. Overall: a very typical experience. We love Tex-Mex, so it's always going to be at least pretty good. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. read more

While sitting in the rain at the post office on Louetta my stomach reminded me of my up to this point unfulfilled desire for cheese enchiladas. So I turn to Yelp and search "best cheese enchiladas near me." This new place Tavo's comes up. 6 reviews and all of them are 5s? I'm somewhat skeptical but I decide to give them a try. They're on 2920; I forget what Tex-Mex restaurant previously occupied this spot. I get a booth and order the regular size house marg pictured below. Rocks, no salt. It is followed by a basket of warm tortilla chips with a chilled creamy green salsa and the cooked tomato based salsa. A nice contrast, and they both have a little kick. I listen to my stomach instead of my brain and ordered three enchiladas instead of two. You have a choice of half a dozen toppings. I went with the ranchero sauce as I guessed it would be the closest to the chili gravy I normally see on cheese enchiladas. Very cheesy enchiladas, just like you want. My plate is pictured below. A good meal. I was worried about the power going out at home so I ordered some chicken fajitas to take home to mom. 45.99 for chicken fajitas for two? Wow, I hope they're good. Update: the chicken fajitas were your usual Tex-Mex restaurant variety. Good, but certainly not $45.99 good. read more

We were excited to see Tavo's replace the previous occupant of this location. The wait was worth it. Decided to place a to-go order for our first visit. Everything we ordered tasted great, good portions, packed well for take-out. The kitchen was very accommodating in special orders. Such as a spinach chile relleno. Very well staffed and everyone was helpful and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. I ordered the chicken and beef fajita enchiladas with sour cream topping. The enchiladas were the smallest I've ever seen. However, the meat was well prepared and seasoned. The sour cream topping had a bit of a starchy taste to it. The charro beans were good, but I found a thin piece of cardboard in it. This was brought to the attention of a waiter, and he really didn't have a lot to say about it and went on his way. There was no compensation offered or an apology. That was a bit disappointing. I ordered a frozen margarita, and it had a subtle fruity taste to it. I found it to be very good. The flan was absolutely the best I've ever had. Overall, the service was exceptional, and sometimes, the waiters came by the table a little too much, interrupting conversations. The menu items and Happy Hour drinks are a bit overpriced. I would consider dining there again, but it would be for lunch only. read more

Excellent food! Every single thing. The homemade tortillas are to die for.Tge service was also wonderful! Nice lil place.

Not to impressed. Food was expensive and just ok. We ordered the quesadillas- wow!...way expensive for the amount. We usually go to Juanita's on Louetta and their quesadillas are HUGE so we were kinda expecting that. Service started out just ok with the young hostess barely greeting us to a great intro with our waiter. Then things started to go a bit downhill from there. I think he was peeved we only ordered 2 appetizers and no meals or booze (driving home a bit of a distance) cause he huffed out an attitude. Had to ask for chips while we were eating our queso which agitates me because now it's cold. Would I go back? Not likely but part of that is it's not close to home. read more

Meh! You probably had to pass several underrated Mexican food restaurants to get to this one. We went there last night. The first thing I saw was a sign boasting their cheese enchilada was voted best enchilada in 2023. You know I had to try that. The wait staff was friendly although it took a while to get our drink order. We found the red and green sauce and chips to be good. The home made corn tortillas were excellent. We ordered two shrimp enchiladas and of course one cheese enchilada. We also ordered the bean soup and the stuffed jalapeños. The shrimp enchiladas were very good. The poblano sauce topping was tasteful. I did not find the cheese enchilada to be worth the hype. It was bland. The yellow queso was pretty good. It seemed to be real cheese. The bean soup was probably the best feature out of the whole evening but only if you like bacon because it definitely had quite a bit of that. The stuffed jalapeños, however, were something else. They were two to a plate and very oversized. I went through a lot of cheese and breading for the first couple of bites before I actually found the shrimp it was supposed to be stuffed with. It only had one shrimp in it which was unpeeled! Also, the cheese:breading wad only had a sliver cut from a jalapeño. Not worth the price. I sent them back. When we got the check, they did not take the stuffed jalapeños off. I guess the waiter conveniently forgot. Also, tea drinker beware! They charged 3.50 for a glass of unsweetened mango tea. They charge $1.00 for the mango shot in the tea and $1.00 per fill up. My tea for the evening cost $6.50. Once he adjusted the check we paid and walked out. Wont be going back. Mexican restaurants are on every corner so the competition is tough. Ya can't fool this Gringo! I think they are overpriced and over rated. read more
