My friend Patti O. told me to try this place…read more Actually I'm getting confused, it was Barbi B, but they have a Patti O, hence the name. The food is good, hearty, tasty, "Montrose Mexican" rather than Mexican, so I suppose Tex Mex, but a little less generic and made with love. The 5 star rating comes from me being supportive, because time and again, I've witnessed the neighbours to the East (the shopping plaza) being extremely un-neighbourly and un-Houstonian, if you will. And in a couple of cases, downright racist. That has no place in our world, in our city, and especially in Rainbowville Montrose, and those people who don't like sharing the urban space we are crammed into, and who don't like those who were born outside the USA and speak Spanish, should go and find a nation to live in that is more in keeping with their views, such as 1930s Germany as an example.

OH-EM-GEE!! I'm shocked at how low the reviews are for this place ! I stopped by here right…read morebetween lunch and dinner time, so the place was pretty quiet at the time. This place is Houston's Hidden Gem! Everything is freshly made from tortillas, Birria meats, agua frescas, etc. I ordered everything I could from Guacamole, ceviche, Lamb and goat Birria tacos, agua frescas etc. Hands down best Birria tacos I've had. I don't eat beef and I love how inclusive they are to include other meat types asides from beef for the Birria tacos. Tacos were flavorful, esp eaten with their homemade spicy salsa and guac and consome. Let me tell you they DID NOT SKIMP ON THE MEAT OR PORTIONS!!! Next time I come here I definitely want to try the alcoholic drinks/beers that are served with the seafood and shrimp. Service was okay at the time just bc i went during a slow time. They gave great recs off the menu. If I have one advice to give the restaurant is to improve their menu quality/make it more organized. They have a lot of things that they offer that are not on the menu, adding that would be extremely helpful. This is definitely a place you want to come visit weekday, weekend, Happy-hour (until 4 pm with lunch deals), anytime of the day honestly big groups or small groups this restaurant is prepared. I heard on weekends they have live music can't wait to check it out!!!

They let me park my bicycle in the back patio. 4 tacos for $11 is pretty legit. They're the little 2-bite tacos. Corn tortilla. Onions cilantro. You get free chips and salsa though! $15 out the door after tip and tax. Not bad for 4 tacos and chips/salsa. Ate to my heart's content. The AC is cold. I'll be back for sure.

It was world cup match day so a good vibe throughout the place. I've been to a few "la tapatias" it seems over the years, found out there's 2 on Richmond somehow. Chips and salsa were decent, nothing special. Some of the chips were a bit overcooked and has that burned taste. I ordered the carne asada and while it looked good with a decent portion size, It was a bit tough to chew.. the sides (rice, guac, salsa + beans) were good, but the meat I had to cut into smaller bites.. I mean it was good but not great. I've had a lot better just in Houston. We finished the night w/ some desserts which was pretty good. I'll definitely have to try the margs next time as they were strongly recommended. I also notice they have happy hours as well. Price/value was okay, the carne asada was about $26, definitely prices have gone up over the years but not surprising. Overall, solid spot for late night Mexican food if you're in the area. Just wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Inside, it's a little warmer and bonus points if you get a fire pit spot. Generally, a very chill place to hang out with friends. We settled on some long tables and an Art Car IPA was about $8 with tip. Took a little while to get service because there was no one at the bar when we came in. It's overall a very chill average sports bar. No frills, but also not dive-bar cheap either.

We didn't order food, but the plates we saw coming out looked good and the service seemed quick, so that's on the list for next time.

Regardless of how you want to categorize it, all their pizzas are delicious - and they have cool flavor combinations, and rotating special toppings. I think their salads are really underrated, and perfect sharing for 2. Also, my controversial personal opinion: they have the best wings in the city (they are abnormally large!), and super crispy. They have great happy hour and daily specials too. Wines by the bottle are affordably priced. You order at the bar, and they'll bring the food out to you. The bartenders are always super nice and friendly every time I've been there.

I guess it's for the best since it was usually broken and closed off. There's plenty of parking and it's nice that the road construction around it is over. There's also covered seating when you walk in, and inside, a long bar with seating and purse hooks and bar top high tables. I believe there might be some booth seating on one side, but I didn't sit in that area. The female restrooms have 3 stalls and is semi clean. Bar tender was nice on a Sunday afternoon. She looked young. It was a nice place to catch the Astros game and wasn't busy. We played pool and this one hunting game. Would've played darts, too, but we didn't get to it. There's a QR code for their drink menu. Wish they had some sour options. The shots like green tea and Mexican candy were made well. We tried their sirloin sliders with fries, and that was good. The fries are a little too salty for skinny cut fries though. If you like salt, you'll love it. We saw a cute dog with its owner, so I guess small dogs are allowed inside. I'd come back to chill here and play pool or darts and watch a sports game.

Since managements cleansing of the great beer joints and bar spots, Woodrow's remains.

Service can be a bit slow as the bar is far smaller than the amount of seating. And it's not very well ventilated for those looking for a cool landing pad during hot months. They have a smaller beer selection, and a full bar. This place is a solid for happy hours and hangouts.

Oh how I wanted to have a great experience here…read more... My best friend and I took a Lyft here after seeing Little Woodrow's online and figured we'd give it a shot during the Wild Card Conference game. When we arrived, it appeared to be cool. Some of the staff appeared to be lighting the outside heaters for the evening as the sun was beginning to set but not one person greeted us. Not one person came to even say "hello, we'll be right with you"... nothing. The staff member that I mentioned earlier setting up heaters; he looked our tables direction (since we took it upon ourselves to sit), and did nothing. Not a menu on the table, not a straw, nothing. I was highly disappointed and won't be returning. It's unfortunate that such a highly respected place doesn't have that same equal service for all customers. We surely took our money elsewhere... where we were at least greeted.
