50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Spring

“I had a wonderful experience at Mexican Mom's kitchen. The service and food are notch. The menu has a section that changes weekly with new items and a regular menu that never changes, so you visit every week and try something new every time. The appetizer was wonderful, and I wish I had remembered the name of it, but the next time I visit, I will remember to check. The beef Empanadas and my chocolate tres Leche were the best I have had in a long time. ? Bravo!Kid-friendliness: There is an area that has clean working toys and books for kids and adults to take to the table for entertainment.Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicapped parking.“

“We went for lunch, the service is absolutely wonderful! Food is unreal! I feel I’m back in Mexico eating good quality seafood in a restaurant on the side of the beach in Puerto Vallarta, you can’t beat the friendliness of the staff and the GUAVA pie… Oh my God!! Best pay I’ve eaten and now one of my favorites!“

“Very nice and novel combinations of different cuisines. Some sounded daring, like sashimi style fish with a strawberry based sauce, but without exception all were very well balanced and tasteful. If you enjoy new, and excellent, culinary experiences make sure to visit.“

“Food was mid, not really worth the price unless you’re celebrating an anniversary, cuz let’s be real we all here are trying to save up money, plus the natural fruit drinks are 10$ whole bucks with NOOO REFILLS, this is just my personal experience n opinion, im not commenting to be negative this restaurant is as authentic as it could be for Mexican place n I only recommend you to go here if you fr got big bux in your pockets especially if you’re planning to come with the whole family“

“Found this place this morning when I was searching for breakfast tacos. This is a real find. I had the tacos ala Mexicana with egg, onion, jalapenos and added cheese and chorizo. The flour tortilla was cooked to perfection, with ample delicious filling. I asked for several sauces and they were all good but the green was nothing short of magical. I no longer live here but visit often and will be back every time I am in the area. Support this family owned business. It is wonderful.“

“I just want to update my review. I go here at least once a week and I freaking love this place. Fresh quality ingredients at an affordable price, staff is always quick and nice, and they have to-go margaritas!! I’m a rewards member now and proud of “

“We were patrons of Mario's before they opened El Portal. We have always enjoyed their food and friendly service.Dietary restrictions: The food isn't salted too much. Since older folks are on salt restrictive diets this is important.“

“This is one option in a food truck park with 5-6 other food trucks. El Mictlan was our choice for vegan/vegetarian. I had the Chilaquiles and my friend had the Tacos Dorados. Both were spicy, but not overwhelming and had good flavor. The server took our orders and made recommendations. He was polite and brought the food to the table quickly. Seating is outdoors on picnic tables, but they have turf in the eating area so it's not muddy. Tables also have umbrellas to provide shade from the sun. Enjoyable experience. Will try them again when I'm in the area.“

“Why 5 stars? Because the quesabirria hit the spot. --- --- --- My wife and I were heading back home from Houston and I wasn't really hungry for dinner after a heavy, late lunch. I just wanted some cookies, so we stopped at a nearby place for just that. As we were walking in, my wife said, "I think I actually want something savory more than sweet". Like Pavlov's dog, I *immediately* also wanted something savory. We skipped the cookie idea and decided to swing by this food truck instead. It's hard for me to resist ordering quesabirria when I see it on a menu, and there was no temptation to sway from that here. This meal was exactly what I was looking for: delicious sustenance, but not an overwhelming amount of food. And while there is another food truck that still holds the G.O.A.T. status when it comes to quesabirria, I think Cinco De Mayo is solidly in the running for the 2nd or 3rd best that I've tried. I personally prefer tipping in salsa over what normally comes with quesabirria. I know that's kind of the whole thing that makes the dish what it is, but I've never been one to be swayed by what everyone else is doing. The green sauce was delicious and an ideal pairing, IMO. Now, did I wake up at 2am with heartburn because I have a faulty esophagus? YEAH. But was it all worth it? You bet.“

“The flavors on these Tacos took me back to Mexico. WowChicharon and Al pastor DID NOT DISAPPOINT . It's not the size it's the flavors Just remember that tasteVegetarian options: Want vegetarian ? Or grilled veggies tacos or quesadilla“

“Food is good but on more than two occasions when the old woman takes the charge she chooses to add her own tip at the end of my transaction. Where is the integrity??I don’t know what that is about but I will be paying with cash from here on out if I ever decide to stop here again.“

“Awesome authentic monterrey, nuevo leon Northern mexico region, mexican tacos. Try the home made menudo just like guelita's one as well but they said is only on Friday's and Saturday's. If you go to court at cypresswood, just walk around the corner. Once you try'em you'll go back again.“

“We eat here often after roller skating at the rink a few blocks away. Extensive menu and I've yet to try something here that wasn't delicious! The margaritas are great and the service is top notch. Oh yeah, they always show the televised Houston Astros games on several TVs so there's not a bad view in the whole place. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!“

“Best quesabirria I’ve had. Perfectly seasoned just big enough to fill you up but to also question if you should get an extra order. Highly recommend. Food comes out very quick. The person taking and making the food overall very nice and friendly.“

“I was in search of breakfast tacos, and I found my new favorite spot. Their tortillas are made fresh, and all the food overall was delicious. They offer several variations of sauces, which you can also purchase. I really like that because I prefer fresh versus buying at the grocery store with all the preservatives. The restaurant itself is bright and beautifully decorated. High top and table seating available. The staff are friendly and service is quick. Parking is convenient.“

“Greeted by owner, Enrique, he was very gracious & helpful to explain & suggest. Super fresh ingredients & most generous portions! Great value! Authentic Mexican ceviche we come to expect, coconut horchata is a must! Sure to share this gem with our friends & family. Keep up the great work, Enrique! See you soon…“

“Fisrt time, I went because a Friend referred them. OMG delicious, you are not going to be disappointed as you can see in the pictures. Both tacos were excellent. Great flavor, texture. I will have to go back to try others tacos and the burrito. Great place to eat tacos. Be aware they closed at 2pm everything day and I am not sure if on Sundays they open. I went during the week. A lot of people go there for take out.“

“Happiest Food Critic and blogger in town. We had the best early morning breakfast tacos full of flavor right down to the hand made flour and corn tortillas . The service was great and fast considering the line of happy customers the wait was not long, the kitchen staff were amazing everyone cooking and packing order’s perfect. The restaurant is very clean the employees great everyone with a kind hello and a smile. The food is very good that we went back that day for lunch which was delicious. Thank you to the Staff, see you all soon.“

“1st time visit, food is amazing! Real flour tortillas & everything! Server however insisted on making my tacos her way not my way. I asked for extra cilantro & onion was told it’s already in my taco!Wish it was more like Subway - make it how I ask, not how you would eat it ? craziness. I’ll go back tho!!!!“

“We love Gringo’s it is our favorite chicken enchiladas. I get them every time. My husband loves the fajita enchiladas. We are never disappointed. My son who lives in upstate New York where they have no idea what great Mexican food is comes to see us and as soon as he’s here we come straight to Gringos. We had an and absolutely super waiter, by the name of Justin. Friendly, polite and just plain nice. We have always had good food, good service and good fun.“

“We went at 7pm today and got margaritas and the appetizer with ceviche, guacamole, quesito, and cocktail shrimp and it was fantastic!I grew up in South Houston in an all Mexican neighborhood, and this food flavor is authentic, reminds me of being a kid growing up hearing Selena wile eating elote while riding my bicycle. The Stuffed Beef Fajita Avocado was perfectly crisp and tasteful. Everything tasted fresh, even the chips and perfect salsa with onions and cilantro. Our glasses never got empty, the service was A+ from the busboys and waiter, Jose.Music is loud enough not to hear other people, but quiet enough to hear your table. It’s a family restaurant, so if you don’t want to hear a baby cry occasionally, then sit near the bar or on the patio.Restroom was spotless.Our waiter Jose was kind and helpful. Great job!“

“Picked up Rosarito Bowl, Diablo Burrito, and Bean and Cheese Burrito. Ordering over the phone was easy - service was very friendly and welcoming. Food was ready for pick up in 10 mins. Food tasted very good; quantities were ample. Paid $46, including 20% tip. Great neighborhood place to visit/pick up food…“

“This is our go to for Mexican near the woodlands. The food is always good, but make sure to check your to go orders. I don’t think they have ever gotten an order completely right the first time. And we only have 2 people to order for so it’s usually a couple enteees and an appetizer. But overall it’s a good spot that we frequent.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Amazing food, everyone was so nice and inviting,not to mention there free Margaritas and desserts were amazing I had the sopapillas and churros both were amazing. The waitresses there made sure me and my family had everything we needed. If I could give this place more stars i would.Kid-friendliness: Safe for children and they give you the option to put a movie on for your childWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair acessible“

“Ordered my Shrimp Poboy and waffle fries during lunch yesterday and it was waiting for me when I got there. It was enough for lunch and dinner. Great service and location. This is the only Black owned creole kitchen in Cypress so lets show some love! So glad you guys are here.“

“This taco truck hits the spot for authentic Mexican food that reminds me of home. They have their main spot in Porter but for all my woodland peeps stop by Here to enjoy some tacos in a great atmosphere. Ten out of ten recommend the charro beans.“

“I was in Cancun and I had to come home to get the best street tacos EVER. I get the steak and carnitas tacos. The best! we bring all our guests and refer Julios to everyone! If you haven't tried Julios put it on your must do list! Also, thank you Laura for always getting everything right!!“

“Amazing tacos and as authentic as I've had. The roadside stand features a screened in deck and it matches the outdoor stand ambiance. The tables are equally good at matching the roadside stand vibe. I had the carnitas taco and the chorizo taco with egg. Both were outstanding and just right for lunch. I placed my order quickly and had my food within five minutes. Super experience all around.“

“First time at this location. The food was Amazing. But more Importantly the service was impressive. Harmony was our waitress. Best service ever. I ordered what she recommended. And the drink she recommended. I will Definitely be back. Especially if I can have Harmony wait on me.“

“Went on 10/21/23 and was so good came back the next day. Had 2 orders of 5 tacos one of pastor and one of fajita. Both were so good and super tender. My favorite tacos in Houston so far. The salsa was good as well not super spicy but had enough. I wish it wasn’t so pricy but then again they were super good.10 corn tacos and 2 cans of cokes for 40$“

“Food had lots of flavor and was probably the best Mexican food I've had in the area. Only reason that it is a 4 star is because of the atmosphere and the chips. Chips are way to crunchy for my liking but others may disagree. Julio's has multiple daily specials and is going to be a regular spot for me and my family.“

“These tacos are the best! I go there when I am in the area. Their quesadillas are bomb, and I love that they're not stingy with their meats at all they make sure all what you bite has some meat in it. The quesadillas have lots of cheese and it's just simply the best, anyone who is in the area go try them, they're super delicious!“

“The place is wonderful. Don't go by the pics they are not updated yet. It has been revamped. TBH- it is the best Mexican restaurant I've been to and let me tall you I've been to alot. The prices are reasonable unlike some I've been too and wanted to run from the tab. ?... Koo‐Do's to ElPatron.“

“I stopped here after a long bike ride and ordered a couple tacos. I was so impressed, by the food that I returned same day to order more!Pastor tacos are amazing, especially with their green salsa! Tamales are absolutely worth a try. Definitely my favorite taco truck in the area!“

“The best cheviche and octopus and shrimp cocktel I have eaten in a while!!! They have a large variety of mariscos to choose from!I really liked this place, it's very clean and the service is top the line. Their aguas frescas are made at the moment, their black salsa is delicious too!!!!“

“Came in about 7:15 and was promptly seated. Chips with red and green sauce quickly followed. The red sauce has a little zing to it. The waitstaff was friendly and efficient. Good selection on the menu. I ordered the cheese enchiladas; they arrived in less than five minutes with the accompanying rice and refried beans. A good meal. The prices seemed comparable to other Mexican restaurants in the area.“

“Highly recommend El Barrio Grill as your next go-to-place. Exceptional cuisine, the customer service and food quality is consistently outstanding, ambiance here is inviting and comfortable and the owners Tom + Missy are super friendly, attentive and accommodating.“

“The best street tacos in Spring!!! Tacos are so flavorful and extremely satisfying. I love the mexicana, chorizó and egg, pastor, chicken and barbacoa. Calling ahead is super convenient for when I’m buying tacos for my whole team at work. Love this family owned business and I’m glad they’re serving deliciousness once again!“

“My husband and I visited this place last sunday and the food was fantastic! We had the plantains, the cassava (yuca) and we tried the pupusas. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. The service was also great and the place was clean. We will definitely be going back!“

“Amazing! First time customer. I did an online order and planned to pick it up on my way home. I got held up and didn’t think I’d make it before closing. I called to see if I could switch to delivery or if it would be ok to arrive a few minutes late. The owner said the delivery driver would be back soon and could run it over. I pulled in the driveway and the delivery pulled up right behind me. The owner delivered the order herself because the driver wasn’t back yet! Talk about service! And the food was outstanding! Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. First time customer turned customer for life!“

“Wow, what an excellent hidden gem this place is . The atmosphere was great, the staff was very friendly and helpful . The food was amazing, as is the hot salsas & homemade tortillas. The breakfast buffet was fully stocked and clean, the spicy migas were on point fantastic.. would return again to eat here.“

“Stopped by this morning for breakfast tacos. Ordered 2 sausage, egg, and potato tacos. It's was delicious!!! She made them when I ordered, so very fresh. Green sauce was perfect too. I'll be going back for breakfast but also to try lunch“

“Best Taqueria in Spring,TX hands down, the corn tacos are good but the flour are much tastier, Rosy is the best cook in this area, she treats me like a King, once i go in she throws the tortillas and starts cooking don’t even have to tell them what I want anymore, they know my order and even with language barriers make me feel welcomed“

“The staff were outstanding, and while it was obvious English wasn't their first language, they asked one another and us for verification to be certain understanding and accuracy was there for our dining pleasure.All this without it being any distraction to us, the customers.Dietary restrictions: Being a type1 diabetic with certain mitigating modifiers, I need to be on a keto-friendly diet.You won't find nutritional information on the menu, and the staff didn't understand the questions about keto options.There are a couple of salad options, and I chose the #10 special, with the cheese sauce - which proved to be quite diabetic (and probably keto friendly).“

“What’s not to love about this his place? I wish I would have found it earlier. The tacos are the bomb especially topped off with their spicy red salsa. Prices are equal to that of a taco truck. Service was amazing and she was super efficient at her job.“

“Visiting from Florida and WOW!!!!! Food was perfection. Fresh.Service was THE BEST! So attentive. I forgot to ask the name of the two people that took care of us but truly very kind souls.4/13/24 we arrived around 1pm, not too busy at all. Got seated right away. Our appetizer stuffed us- big portions. Loved it 100%.“

“Food is phenomenal, and service could be better. If you read my last review, you know I needed some good south of the border grub and was disappointed. Not today. Eva's is on point. Flavors are just so good. This is a hidden gem. Honestly, service is a tad lacking, but the food more than compensates.“

“Best authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had! This place use fresh produce! Better than any other Mexican restaurant around! Victor makes the best chicken salad and the breakfast plates are beyond amazing! The portions they give are very generous! Highly recommend this place! Ask for victor he’s the best!“

“I recently moved to the area and was worried I wouldn't find delicious, authentic tacos here. But boy was I wrong! The Birria and bisteck tacos are delish. Each bite was bursting with smoky, savory goodness. As for delivery orders, I understand that they can get quite busy, especially on weekends. While I did experience some inconsistencies in quality, it's a small price to pay for the authentic, mouthwatering tacos.“
