Run...don't walk!! We were looking for a good Tex-Mex before we had to head to the airport & we were NOT disappointed! Their M-F lunch special is BOGO combo plates. I had a beef empanada with 2 steak tacos while my husband had carnitas that came with tortillas, rice, & beans. Sorry no pics of our food...we were too busy enjoying it! Generous portions? UNDERSTATEMENT of the year! Neither of us could finish our plates and we ate (including soft drinks) for under $20! Wait staff are very friendly and attentive, without hovering. My only regret is that we don't have anything like Texas Grill 49 back home. read more

It's a fair Mexican joint. We've visited during the FIFA World Cup craze, after we'd picked my best friend from the airport on our way to lounge in Galveston for a couple of days pregame. The place was quite empty at this hour, round 3pm I gathered. We watched a game, Canada vs. Qatar I believe - lots of goals anyhow. It was fun to watch with the Spanish commentary. Anyway, back to the food. We had a piece of sizzling steak, shrimp salad, and some other meat. All well cooked and delicious. The portions were huge, which is not uncommon on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. The service could be better though. We have waited quite a while for the mains, which is alright. But the drinks came with it, not before, while we were waiting. Hence, I am subtracting one star. Funny enough the check mentions 30% tip option. I had a good laugh ;) I gave them 20 probably. read more

The experience starts when you walk in: You are greeted with absolute professionalism. The tables are beautifully adorned with wine glasses and setups. Everything is fancy, from the smooth jazz music to the staff. You think you're about to drop a couple of Benjis but then see that their prices are absolutely affordable. The menu is so versatile that you can have burritos and nachos during the day and Chilean sea bass at night. Date night recommendation for sure! A big thanks to Joana for serving us today! read more

Texas Grill 49 - Sweet tea, Jamaica and chips/salsas. - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

Friendly establishment, sits in a kinda rundown looking shopping centers. At first I thought this place was going to be a burger joint, but to my surprise it turned out to be Mexican with all the frills. When you order a drink they come around with fresh fruit to enhance it. Ask for the soup of the day and they will give you a complimentary sample...this day was fideo which I love. Warm light crispy tortilla chips and very tasty salsas that pack a little heat. Entree I ordered street tacos and they were a hit...though they are served on a heat stone so I had to pull them off and let them sit on my salsa dish to cool so i could even grab to eat. Only downside since it was the weekend they do have menudo and pozole and i was wanting the pozole, but it is only served in one size enough for 3 ppl. Not sure why they don't offer them in cup sizes. Guess i need to find some friends to go with me to get it. read more

The ambiance is great Delicious food , friendly service and all of this in a good budget.

They have the worst customer service I have ever seen. I'm not sure who is worse, Joann or Miguel.

We tried this place out last night and it was really good. Some of the food is a bit pricey; a steak or expensive seafood dish can cost over $45. They do have some cheaper alternatives though for around $17 that tasted good as well. They do need to add a drink menu because we had to ask our waitress what drinks they had. read more

Great little place for a quiet night. Food was exceptional, although the servers were young and tended to mill together instead of servicing tables. read more

Service here was perfect... treated like VIP... not too many people in the restaurant during lunch time. Order an ice tea and lemonade / Arnold Palmer and it came out in this coolest mug that was frozen... super delicious Order the burger with no bun and tried the Menudo... all super delicious Restaurant and bathrooms super clean Highly recommend read more

Amazing food and great service! Visited on a Monday evening, so we were the only people dining in at the time. The inside was very nice, with a casual upscale aesthetic. Menu provided variety but was not overwhelming. Full bar, server stated you could ask for anything and they would make it/ try to accommodate . Complimentary chips & salsa provided along with a soup of the day! The day we went, they provided fideo . Food and drinks were all delicious. Everything was reasonably priced. read more

I tried it one day when they had the mixed fajita special for $10.99. The chicken and beef fajitas were extremely chewy and tough like taqueria tough. The portion was good, but chewing the food was not enjoyable. The beans, rice, tortillas, and salsa was decent. Based on my first impression of the fajita meal, I will not pay full price for it. However, I will try something else just to give a second chance. What I really love is their interior. All their seats have cushioning. That's a big plus for me as if they are delayed and bringing out my food, I can sit comfortably and wait. That alone deserves a second chance and push my review really high for this place. read more

Highly recommend. Great food, Great service. Very flavorful sauces. Enchiladas were very tasty!

Incredible food. The portions are huge, the menu has a variety of cuisines. Outstanding value. Good service. This place is the best restaurant I've had in recent memory. The loaded baked potato is incredible. read more

Hidden gem here. Divered far more than I was expecting. It had a touch of class with jazz music, a wine rack/selection, top notch service, and pretty damn good food!!! A pleasant ambiance. Started off with some Mango Margherita's, they were hands down the best ones I've ever had!!! Delish! Even the chips and salsas were amazing; one nice red salsa, and two small ones--one with a spicy green salsa (seemed like Serranos?) and the other was white, so of course I'm going to see what that's all about--it was some amazing blue cheese yummy sauce!?! Was not expecting that! They also brought us some complimentary pozole--delish! Anyhow. Shrimp cocktail for an appetizer--beautiful and plenty of shrimps with fresh avocado. I opted for the street tacos so I could try several of their meats--very fair priced (maybe $2.59 ea.). Got the chicken, el pastor (my least fav), and carnitas. My company got a Birria taco and a Brisket & cheese taco. We enjoyed it so much we forgot to get dessert! Next time! And thank you to our sweet little waitress, she tended to use very well and had amazing service!!! I will be back! Con-- it is a tad pricey for the larger entrees, but I think it's worth here because it's such a different style Mexican restaurant read more

Texas Grill 49 - Chips and sauces. - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

Service from Jonathon was perfect and found excellent! Nice atmosphere, will come again!

There was a slight mixup in the order which was promptly resolved. Being from San Antonio I was a bit hesitant about the poblano sauce on the beef enchiladas. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Normally I would have finished the entire plate of 3 enchiladas but the sauce was so rich I had to get a to go box for 1 and 1/3 enchiladas and some of the rice and beans. Very nice decor and ambience. When I come back to Houston I will definitely eat there again! read more

Wow !! This is probably one of the best small restaurants I've gone to that is surrounded my neighborhoods and let me tell yall this place is a place that deserves to be visited and tried out . The outside does t look convincing the inside is normal , ambiance is calm and chill . The service A+ no complaints. The best part is definitely the food so here it is . This place is great for many reasons they have weekly specials on all food the burger tomorrow will be $7.99 Thursday it's a damn good burger they have drink specials weekly as well . They have a large menu with lots of items to choose from to start you will get chips and salsa and a Mexican style soup which are both great the soup is delicious the chips with salsa try the white salsa it's the best if you get water they will come out with fresh add ons for your water and ask what you will like that was already surprising to me to experience at a place like this , chips were super fresh and hot you will get good small food to munch on . Now If you're a foodie I would recommend get something off there weekly specials for the price it's better to try a bit more food for a starter we got the fish tacos the flour tortilla one was bigger and come with rice for $7.99 weekly special I will attach total at the end . We got a 12oz steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus it was very good only thing I'd say it needed a bit more seasoning other than that the mashed potatoes and steak were great don't worry about cold food , we got a Texas burger which was amazing fresh bacon melted cheese and 2 patties highly recommended and lastly the chicken poblano was amazing overall this place nailed it with all the different t foods they offer . The owner is a chef and his wife helps in the front great people he takes pride in cooking all his foods and the menu is big but I assure you that you will get some great food from burger to salads to red snapper to steaks everything is great . The weekly deals give you plenty to choose from I would highly recommend to visit this restaurant if you like new places I'd definitely go back for the specials and try more food . Located in the sagemont neighborhood. I highly recommend visit this place !!!! Very few times I run into a place that's worth it total was about $100 with tip . A lot of good fresh great quick service and plenty to choose from . The owners are great and take pride in there business all they need is more business daily because that's how it should be in there after to trying it out today no complaints here . read more

Fantastic place, great service, nice staff, exemplary food. This place is great for Mexican food, love all the flavors and options on the menu. Definitely a must try and a hidden gem. By far one of the best Mexican food in Texas. The nacho fries, chips and salsa and complimentary chicken pozole were amazing. The ribeye steak was phenomenal. Would definitely return, great food and excellent culinary skills. Everything was worth the price. read more

I wanted to know what all the hype was for this place and I must say, it was well deserved. From the complimentary chips and salsa to the dessert, everything was spectacular! The sauce were in an interesting tiny pitcher. The chicken enchiladas were super tender and well shredded. The sauce on top made me want to lick the whole plate. Can't say much of the tacos since it was not mainly my dish. The chocolate cake with the icecream on top was a good combination. The cake was not overly sweet. The staff were all helpful and kind! read more

I've been going here for a few years, the service is always welcoming, and food is of great quality. I actually enjoy the steaks here, usually when you find a place where steak isn't the specialty then it's served average. Not here, so whoever's in the kitchen knows what they're doing. They recently added a live singer on Friday nights, she's really good and uses her restaurant singing voice instead of an overpowering concert venue voice. Ownership/management knows what they're doing, we look forward to returning each time. Last year after attending a major event, we brought 18 of our friends on a Sunday night about 45 minutes before closing (I'd informed them the day before). The entire staff served us wonderfully until we left about 30 minutes after closing time. Just impressive! read more

I'm not sure how this place has 4.5 stars. It made me have high hopes for the place. The ambience is nice, but the service was terribly slow and the food was decent if that but terrible for the price. I got flautas and they tasted like oil and nothing else. Another person at my table has gotten a quesadilla with meats inside and it was decent. Another got the appetizer platter for a meal and again, it was just decent. And one other had enchiladas... no. I'd rather go to papa gayos down the road. I'm betting the 4 stars are for their drinks. I haven't had any but I'd go back just to try them. Other than that, if I am craving some enchiladas or flautas I am definitely going somewhere else. Sorry not sorry. read more

LITERALLY a hidden gem! We came on cinco de mayo and there was 3 other tables besides ours. This place deserves WAY more recognition. The price is great, the service is perfection, and the food is AMAZING! Super clean restaurant with cute cups for sale, along with a juke box and a couple of TVs that I'm sure they wouldn't mind changing. This was our third time here, and we will definitely be back. Make this your next weekday dinner stop! read more

We were very impressed by the food and atmosphere definitely coming back service could improve a bit

My mom was in the hospital at Memorial Herman Southeast and my family and I quickly yelped this place and it was such a great impromptu experience. The food was excellent, the service was unparalleled and the atmosphere was relaxing and fun! My brother and I both got baked potatoes and my sister got the hamburger, everything was wonderful! Dinner was served with complimentary chips and three different kinds of salsas, as well as a complimentary soup! read more

The food was very delicious and spiced right! The service was great snd they had good jazz music playing. We loved it!

Fabulous food and service at an affordable price! Attractive and clean interior. Gee, I sound like a robotic advertisement! We had a specialty dish that said it was for three to four people and worried that four people would be hungry afterwards. It had brisket, chicken, ribs, ... Here's the description from the on line menu. They also have a super deluxe with octopus and shrimp for $10 more. Texas Parrillada (House Specialty) 3-4 People $47.00 Chicken, brisket, sausage, BBQ pork ribs. Parrillada served with flour or corn tortillas, rice, charro beans, pico and... We were stuffed afterwards and couldn't finish everything. Rather than salsa they had pico... That was the only very minor disappointment. Maybe salsa is too pedestrian for them. A funny note: So good that I heard that the price was per person. Fortunately, that was for all four of us! Ka-CHING! We saved$150 psychologically. It was a great meal pre-cruise! read more

Great service. Salmon and Almond fish were both very good. I love the crispy chips! It's also near my church, Sagemont, for Sunday lunch read more

Don't be fooled by the outside, your tastebuds will never forgive you. Outstanding service, and excellent Tex-Mex. We had a party of four, got seated immediately and everything came out fast. Beef empanadas app and fresh guacamole (served with fresh fried chicharones) were superb starters. I did the Tex-Mex enchiladas with red and green sauce - delicious and very filling. Others in the group had street tacos, chicken fajitas and a whole yardbird. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Decent prices for the quality you get, and the presentation on everything was impeccable. read more

This is such a wonderful restaurant. We stopped here for lunch on a long layover and was so glad we picked this place. The salsas and chips were amazing... The margarita was yummy and the lemonade served in a beautiful jug was enough for 4 people. They started us off with a complimentary pozole which was delicious. We specially enjoyed the rib eye steak for the grown ups and the Pasta Bolognese for kids. The sausage and corn elote was also very good. The portion sizes are huge!!! Our host Adam was very nice and he even treated us to a birthday dessert for my son's birthday. Highly recommended... read more

The food is a real Mexican food, when you arrived to the table they served tasty corn chips and 3 different salsas, pozole verde it's the best! flautas de pollo are super crunchy and delicious, my kids love barbacoa street tacos, ceviche is another of my favorites dishes there. The service is super kind, and the ambience is family friendly. read more

All the food was way overcooked. The steak was dry, the hamburger was dry, the chicken was powdery, and the tacos were drowning in grease. The service was fantastic. The waitress got our food and drinks and orders quick. Very nice young lady. Place is very casual looking, read more

Great food and service! The lead chef makes amazing dishes. 10/10 . Can't go wrong with the brisket and sides combo

TLDR; Texas Grill 49 dropped the ball a few times and made a poor first impression. This was my first time, first impression of Texas Grill 49 and they left an unpleasant taste in my mouth, so to speak. This review is for a pick-up order on a Tuesday night. I was treating my parents for any anniversary dinner and we decided to do take out and eat at home instead of dining in the restaurant. The place was completely empty except for about 5 employees who were very helpful and somewhat apologetic. This is not about them, I'm sure each of them gives good service and they were all very efficient with trying to right the wrong. This is about the kitchen at Texas Grille 49 messing up an order, twice AND THEN serving a wrong entree. When we arrived to pick up the order at the specified time, the restaurant did not have my order ready, in fact I suspect it wasn't even fired at that point. One of the servers responded quickly and communicated with the kitchen regarding this oversight. He took a photo of my order (from off of my phone) and at that point my order was made. I had ordered 3 entrees but only received two after waiting for ~10 or so minutes. I will say the food was hot and looked good from what I could tell. Immediately the third entree was fired at that point and I waited another 8-10 minutes while the first two entrees basically started dying in the to go bag. Chilean Sea Bass and Filet Mignon tend to be best served as fresh as possible. Of course this being a to go order we understood that it would likely not be as fresh as it would've been were we dining in. However, we didn't expect to have additional wait time for a forgotten dinner entree AFTER the entire order had been forgotten upon arrival. The unfortunate mishap continued, because when we got home the third order was not the Salmon I ordered for myself, but a decent sized white fish that tasted like a basic white fish (with that typical and subtle fishy after flavor); so NOT salmon. Overall the meal was fine. I honestly won't complain about taste and presentation, nor would I, being that it was a to go order served in styrofoam. Tbh, I don't think I would give them my business again, definitely not for a special occasion because as I mentioned this all happened when there were no guests dining in. You'd think the kitchen wasn't slammed or even moderately busy beyond food prep. I'll extend grace as sometimes kitchens have a rough start to their service. Hopefully it got better for others that chose to dine at Texas 49 Grille that evening. Addendum: The positives that I'll share were that the food was fresh and relatively tasty. The servers were ultimately helpful and their prices are pretty reasonable. My Dad enjoyed his steak, which was what we really cared about the most, (his birthday is the same day as my parent's anniversary). My Mom's fish was fine, as far as, the expected taste and so was mine, all things considered. read more
