“LumbarJust celebrated a birthday and had a fabulous meal and outstanding service--will be back soon--a great Ion location.“

“They catered our cy-fair band in Conroe. They came with all the food and it was great! Thanks for supporting our kids! Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Empanadas were delicious 😋“

“The food does not have Cuban flavor. I had the vaca frita and it had a condiment like curry which was overpowering. The congri was salty and greasy and it didn’t taste good. The croquetas were round and made of pork and cheese, they were not croquetas. The tamal cubano was good and the yuca con mojo. The cafe cortadito was awful made with evaporated milk. Very disappointed. Overall.“

“Great place to visit. Owner Edison did a great job at the place. Good food and good ambience“

“Literally a one stop shop! Everything you need from fresh tortilla to cheese and sauce and much more.
Female business owner and multiple location throughout Houston area.

“Churrascos offers a delightful dining experience with a blend of delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. The star of the show was our waiter, Pedro, who provided exceptional service, enhancing our meal with his attentive and friendly demeanor. The menu was filled with tantalizing options, each dish expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. From start to finish, our experience at Churrascos was nothing short of fantastic, and we can't wait to return for another memorable meal.“

“I woke up craving Seco’s legendary spinach enchiladas. We are in the middle of a pandemic and I am tired of my cooking so I called in to place an order to go for lunch. Chef Seco answered the phone and said he is sorry but they aren’t open for lunch right now. I said oh darn I’m craving your spinach enchiladas but I’ll call back another time. He said he was there accepting a delivery and would make them for me! I will never forget this and my belly is so happy right now. These enchiladas are to die for. As well as the soups, brunch and everything else. Thank you Chef Seco! On a side note-my family started frequenting Jalapeños regularly when I was about 7 or 8 (I’m 40) and I’ve been ordering the spinach enchiladas since then. I also used to work there in high school as a waitress.“

“Recuerda mi tierra mi bella Guatemala“

“Great food for a good price. And open till 1am?“

“stopped by here for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised! I got the pulgarcito platter which had a tamale, pupusas, yucca, fried plantains, beans, and chicharron.

the food was amazing and the waitress was so sweet! definitely recommend, and will be coming back.“

“The place is good, everything is good, the only bad thing is some rude and stupid customers who sit at the table to wait for the food even when there are people eating, they sit next to the customers but at the table they don't know how to use the benches.“

“Food is great my entire family love it“

“Try the Café de Olla with a “Marranito” or Banana Muffin“

“Went to drive thru very Friendly“

“Great/ Fast service COMIDA DELICIOSA. Primer ves aquí Regresaremos pronto 🥳“

“Nice, quick outdoor patio spot with a relaxed vibe. Orders are placed through a kiosk, which made things simple and fast. The tacos were delicious, and I definitely want to come back on a night off to try the drinks they looked amazing. The music videos playing added a fun atmosphere, not sure how often they do that, but it gave the place some extra energy. Overall, a great casual spot I’d recommend and revisit.“

“Great customer service wonderful place to dine great food and drinks“

“My wife was craving pupusas but I was craving pollo asado so we ordered both.The pupusas were big and stuffed with cheese. The curtido had the perfect “pickled” taste. The salsa was tasty with a kick!The pollo asado plate fed us both and we had enough left over for a second round each. The pollo asado was very flavorful and the smoked sausages were a nice surprise. The rice was good and the charro beans were delicious. They had a good amount of sausage and bacon in them.“

“Exquisitos platos con el verdadero sabor peruano. Buenísima atención. Me encantó!“

“The food is amazing and the service is fabulous.“

“great taste and delicious food! highly recommended!“

“This place is a true hidden gem that deserves all the love! From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with the sweetest smile from the owner—such a kind, humble lady who pours her heart into every homemade recipe. You can taste the love in every sip and bite.

The smoothies, raspas, and aguas frescas are packed with bold, refreshing flavor and served ice-cold in generous portions—perfect for cooling off on a hot day. Their fruit is always fresh and everything is made with care.

There are so many favorites on the menu that it’s honestly hard to choose just one! I’ve been coming here for years, and I still leave wishing they offered more classic refresquería snacks—especially during the summer months.

Also worth mentioning: the place is clean, sometimes a little difficult to find parking during lunch time, but it is handicap accessible. Whether you're stopping by for a quick treat or bringing family along, you’ll feel right at home.

Highly recommend—this spot is a must-try if you're craving something refreshing and made with love!“

“I visit 5411 Empanadas multiple times a week when I'm walking through the tunnel and I absolutely love Jade's customer service, the creativeness of the food, and the atmosphere. My co-worker and I discovered this business some several months back, and we just can't help but to come back. The chimichurri sauce is amazing. Definitely give it a try if you want to try a unique treat!

Vegetarian options: Sweet corn, Mushroom, Thyme, and Bleu Cheese, Caramelized Onion, Ratatouille, Spinach, Banana, Impossible“

“I will always recommend this place!, for its delicious food and prices.

I recommend the Special Delicias and the Caldo De Res, they are my favorite foods!!!

Suggestion: Order about 20 to 25 minutes before and more at lunch time, because even though it is a taco truck, it is always busy.“

“I would also say this is the best pupusas I ever had. Tried so many places and no place can beat their taste. I don't mind driving an hour to get get them when I get the cravens. Because food is fresh and cooked when you order, it does take long. There are only two ladies cooking so I normally call in my order. Ready to go when I get there.“

“The food/ taste/ seasoning is absolutely delicious. I do not visit as often as I’d love to due to locality and personal diet. But every time I do, the food is ON POINT. The girls are friendly and nice folks. My favorite dish here is the ‘mixto con camarones y caracol al ajillo’. It’s a mixed seafood plate with perfectly blended shrimp and snail in light garlic sauce served over rice and beans, fried toasted plantains, and lettuce salad. Their aderezo (sauce) is the perfect topping. Never disappoints and it’s very fulfilling. You can share the plate with another person and still be full. Their desayuno (breakfast) plates are so good too. The prices are reasonable and it’s best to call to order before pickup.“

“Lemon tree has the best Peruvian food I've ever had and they are one of my favorite restaurants in Houston! If you're on the west side of Houston you should definitely check them out!!!“

“Great empanada and good service .“

“Todo , excelente atención y muy rica comida.“

“Truly a Houston gem! I’ve been regularly coming to Under the Volcano for more than 3 years and it never disappoints. The place itself gives you such an authentic feel!! The tacos are excellent specially the Buenos Aires…whoever their cook is I hope they never leave. Beer is great and so are their mixed drinks. The staff is always wanting you to have a nice time. Such a fun place to unwind.“

“Great food, great coffee, great customer service! I will be back if I'm ever in Houston again!“
