    Beef fajita quesadilla
    Ashley B.

    I shouldve known something wasn't right when i didnt smell the aroma of the food upon opening the door! I ordered the beef fajita quesadilla and it came with a qaucamole salad and some beans to my liking!How did it taste you ask????The meat had nerves all through it,Which made it impossible to enjoy.The qaucamole had no taste and to top it all off.....I had to dump all kinds of salsa on the expensive plate of food,Which was by the way $9.50.The cashier gave me a cup not sure if it came with the meal or not and told me to make myself a drink.I was thirsty after consuming such tough meat! I tried the horchata which is a rice drink and i could taste lilttle grits of rice or some coursely chopped ingredients which scratched my throat.....Overall this place needs a reality check asap!!!

    If you are looking for heavy greasy and fry Tex-Mex food this is not the place. The family own small mom and pop store is hidden in the corner of little shopping center. The kitchen usually is run two to three people and the speed of service is not fast like McDonald but the food is amazing. The beef fajita is flavourite just right, the rice and beans were not too salty at all. I am used to the greasy and full of salt Tex-Mex here in Texas. This is really a nice change of the pace. It almost got the home made cooking feel to it , it almost like the meals my Latin American friends make at their home. The taste is hard to describe but definitely different. The ambient is a counter service, the menu is posted on the wall above the register, you ordered the food then they call you when it is ready. Their breakfast tacos are amazing, there are plenty of rooms to sit and take a break from your daily routine. The people there are always nice and the food are fresh and delicious.

    What a great find! Just had their beef quesadillas and they are great. Nice folks also! Fresh made flour tortillas too! They have a bunch of homemade sauces that I need to try next when I go back. This place is hidden and you would pass it if you driving down Clay Road.

    a plate of food

    I've waited over two years to try this place because 1. They have a great Instagram page. 2. I never am on the side of town. I have to say it exceeded my expectations. I appreciate that the rice was well seasoned but not too oily and overcooked. I really like the broth soup that accompanies the dish and the tostada was perfect!! They put enough chicken in their tostadas and the toppings are excellent. I really like their salsa saw well. I can't wait to go back and try more.

    Excellent place for Mexican food on the go or in the restaurant. First time here and very happy we tried it. We happened to be in the area for my daughter's soccer game and saw it as we drove by. All three of us enjoyed our selections and we are quite picky about our Mexican food! Will definitely come back again.

    The best tacos I have ever had. Their green spicy salsa was the best. Their lunch crispy tacos are good too. Must try!

    Roach on the wall

    First time here, not coming back. I ordered the menudo, and compared to other places they just don't put much except for broth in this. Also, I had a surprise breakfast guest.... a roach on the wall where I was eating.

    Potatoe and eggs

    This place has become sort of my morning go-to taco spot. I can call my order in down the street and about time I get there it's already ready which I like. I've tried a variety of their breakfast tacos and the fajita is my favorite one so far, followed by the potato and egg. They have a small open salsa bar( think taco cabana but on a much smaller scale) that's self-serving and have a decent variety of salsa to choose from plus pico de gallo. Service is always great here. I'm not only greeted by the cashier but by everyone behind the counter. Service like that is always a plus in my book. Only downfall for me is that sometime the flour tortillas can have hard edges. I usually just rip the hard edge off and continue grubbing. Lol

    Tostada madero classico yum!!
    UrbanJunior M.

    The chicken soup is delicious the tostada classico was good but it was just a little bland I expected more flavor. The hot sauce added the flavor which was really good. The flavor water was the best lemonade, jamaica and tamarind flavor were really good too.

    One beef,  one pork,  both good.  Damn good!
    Jim C.

    First time here. Very clean, friendly plesent staff. Got the carnitas I belive (sandwich). One pork, one beef fajita. I prefered the beef but both very good. Lettuce, beans, avocado, cheese and their sauces and pico. Will definately bookmark this place to try some of their other meals.

    This is a breakfast /lunch spot that closes early afternoon. I stopped in to try out the tacos. You order at the counter and pick up..similar to fast food joints. I ordered 3 tacos..one barbacoa, pastor, y fajita. They give you a lot of meat in the tacos. I was actually full from two. I wouldn't recommend the Jamaica drink. It tasted watered down.

    $9.73 filling!! Super good and fresh

As there is not a location near me any longer, we traveled to the original location. It was bustling with an attentive waitstaff and lots of people watching. Complementary valet (of course we tip) is a great benefit as parking is slim. Our waitress was Kady. She's been there for 50 years! Talk about an original. She was attentive to our needs but all business. We started with guacamole and queso. Guac was a huge portion with all the add ins. Queso was delish and served with fried flour tortillas (my fav). The gratis green dip, red sauce, and thick, crisp chips were on par. The fajitas. Just so so. Honestly, it reminded me of Taco Cabana. Very disappointing. Very little flavor and tough. The rice was yucky, the refried beans were the worst! Reminded us of the frito lay bean dip in a can. Even the Borracho beans were bad. HEB's in the can are far better. We received 2 corn and 2 flour tortillas. Fajitas served with pico, guac, sour-sour cream (I didn't even like that). Iced tea was fair. All in all, Fajitas very disappointing. If we had not been on the best fajita quest, I most likely would have ordered the chicken caldo soup. That never disappoints.

    Not my first time at Maderas. That's why I came back because it was excellent and my friends heard…read moreme rave about it and they suggested we come here. Arrived on Sunday evening around 7:30. Was sat immediately. Not my first time here so I knew the menu, my friends did not. So they needed time to see what drinks they wanted because they like cocktails and the menu is not small and they had to choose which ones they wanted because the options are good. When they decided, the cocktails straggled out. Two came out but the other two did not, They just sat at the bar as my friends sat with there with their drinks in front of them waiting on ours so we can toast to a wonderful day with a new member of the group. You would have thought the other staff would step in or at least the bartender would see that the waiter was in the weeds and needed help. That's when I knew we should have not come. The food was all lukw warm. The appetizer of queso was like warm with chunks of cheese floating around and some of the chips were fresh and others stale. A mixed bag you can say. My Flautas where luke warm, so was the side of beans and rice. My friends said their tacos were okay. My friend who got the Caesar Salad, there was no dressing on the salad not was there a side of dressing that came with it. We had to ask for it. I did not have the energy to try to keep wrangling the waiter. If you want to shut the kitchen down early because the day was long I get it. Let the customer know, I get it. I used to wait tables to but I would never give people luke warm food or luke service. The staff seems not to have one anothers back. I did not eat my food, I took my food home to reheat it so I could eat it at the proper temperature. My friend took his salad home because he had more Caesar dressing at home. Left a bad taste in my mouth and very disappointed. The service and food from the last time compared to this visit was night and day. Total miss. $200.00 thrown away. I paid because I could not let my friends waiste there money on someplace I raved about. Maderas is really a small cute spot. It's rare I have bad service when I go out to eat because I am not a difficult customer and I know I am not the only one they are serving. I will wait for good food and sit back and enjoy the atmosphere and my friends until it arrives. I would not put pressure on the staff or the kitchen. Also I will not arrive just before closing and make a resteraunt and it's staff stay open late because I am hungry. I rather come when the staff and the restaurant wants to recieve customers.

    Visited for Houston restaurant week…read more It was our first time trying this place out. After being seated, it took 20 minutes for the server to come to our table and take our drink order. It took another 20 minutes to get the restaurant week menu we had asked for. The food and drinks were good and the ambience was nice, however, the service really tainted the whole experience.

    The world is full of Mexican restaurants…read more Most are some version of Tex-Mex in a family-friendly, relatively similar environment. Nothing wrong with that. Mexican Sugar breaks that mold completely. This is the most legit, wonderful, bougie, over-the-top Mexican restaurant I have ever been to, and I mean that as the highest compliment possible. This was my second trip to Mexican Sugar. The first was in Grapevine. After this visit to the Montrose location, I have officially decided that when I am in Texas, I will seek these places out. They are that good. First, dress up. I doubt there is an actual dress code, but this is not the place where I am showing up looking like I just finished mowing the yard. Come here to be seen. Come here to show out a little. The place is beautiful and has that kind of vibe. Second, the drinks. Hell yes. Fancy, creative, excellent, and impressive enough for even the person who has seen every ridiculous cocktail presentation imaginable. And then there is the food. My God, the food. The salsa and queso are legit AF. The street corn is heaven in a bowl. Get several orders. I am serious. One is not enough. The carne asada was amazing. Honestly, I could keep going, but at some point this review is just going to become me yelling about how much I love Mexican Sugar. I LOVE MEXICAN SUGAR. OK, YOU GET THE IDEA. WHY AM I YELLING? BACK TO THE REVIEW.... Service was excellent too. The place is huge and was absolutely packed, but our server stayed attentive and the food came out surprisingly quickly. Make a reservation. Park in the nearby garage. Dress nice. Order the drinks. Get the street corn. Then get more street corn. Who is ready for another trip to Houston? I'll book the reservation at Mexican Sugar.

At brunch, the papas bravas come as small cubes of fried potato with an airy crunch that gives way to a soft, pillowy center - the kind of deeply satisfying bite that makes conversation briefly irrelevant. Crisp prosciutto adds salt, aioli brings richness, and smoky chile sauce keeps it lively. They're served with cactus-handled toothpicks, which are almost offensively adorable. The chilaquiles divorciados are another hit. The chips are dressed with salsa rather than drowned beneath it, so each one arrives ready for the perfect bite. It's a small distinction, but an important one. Then there are the enfrijoladas: rolled quesadillas in fluffy tortillas, covered in creamy black bean sauce and plated with more care than bean and cheese might seem to warrant. The dish is fundamentally simple, but that's the point. Soft tortilla, savory beans, melted cheese, bright salsa. Familiar ingredients transformed into something deeply comforting--the culinary equivalent of curling up beneath a warm blanket on a cold morning, even if Houston rarely provides one. Dinner shifts into another gear. The crudos are sensational, especially the tuna tiradito - a rolling wave of flavor and texture. The tacos are excellent across the board, but the crispy maitake mushrooms are unmatched. The short ribs arrive juicy and tender on a mole negro that doesn't sit politely in the background. It lands dark, complex, and full of flavor. And then there's the masa cornbread, a masterpiece of unapologetic indulgence. Humble cornbread meets savory-sweet mole, smoky, earthy butter, and caviar. It sounds like too much. It isn't. Every element earns its place. The cocktails deserve their own warning. They're the kind that convince you to keep ordering the same drink all night. By the end, you may have forgotten what was in it. What you'll remember is that it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you needed.
