“!!PLEASE READ ENTIRE REVIEW!! My family and I stopped and ate at Casa Fiesta on our way home from vacation. My wife is in the final stages of brain cancer so everything we do as a family is precious time. When one of the owners...Ray...saw us praying before our meal, he came over and greeted us and told us we were a blessing to him. We visited a lot, got to know about his family, etc. He brought cake and churros and the best special drink for my wife. My wife's late father's name was Ray, and this Ray gave us our favorite memory from our vacation. A couple of my adult daughters cried tears of joy and gratitude because of him. Ray will be a friend of our family forever. He was a very special blessing to us. Especially my wife. Guys like Ray deserve the best. Eat at Casa Fiesta often. Best restaurant experience ever! BTW.. the food was absolutely amazing and the staff was the best.“

“First time loved it. I will come back. Food was delicious.“

“We celebrated our daughter’s birthday with a big party of 25 people. Yannis was the only server and he was fantastic! Very quick service, hot food, drinks stayed filled, and he was very organized! He really went above for us tonight when I asked about them doing anything for birthdays, he let me know they don’t do that anymore, but that he would love to sing for her. He gave her a huge shout out at the restaurant and had our whole section singing- and brought her a delicious tres leches slice! We will definitely be back to specifically sit in his section!“

“This place is great, my husband and I never spend more than $40 to eat here. They are known for their Puffy Tacos (corn tortilla). The plate is less than $15 for 2 tacos, beans and rice. The tacos are pretty loaded. Their cheese enchiladas are good. I will state that the enchiladas are more tex-mex (my fav), so they are really cheesy and have a chile con carne sauce. The margaritas aren't my thing, but I'm picky, so they might be yours. The staff is always kind and attentive.“

“The chicken fajitas dinner for 2 ! Chicken fajitas, spanish rice and charro beans with flour tortillas was seasoned so good. The food was so Great !! we will be definitely be back🫶🏼 #firstvisit #lunchtime #texmexfood #hiddengems“

“Great lunch menu with plenty of delish food. Chip was so good and tender!“

“We dined in after church this afternoon, Sim was our server. He was on top of everything, even with multiple tables. Definitely will be coming after church and ask for Sim.“

“Hands down, my favorite mexican restaurant! Only thing I don't really like is that they are always busy. That being said, I've never had bad service here, EVER. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. The decor is interesting and definitely a conversation starter. It's very laid back here. They sell shirts here too, they always have this goofy little fish on them in new and funny ways. The prices are reasonable, a family of 4 can eat, parents can have a drink, and probably get desert for around $45ish before tipping the server, who is usually always awesome.“

“The only place I want to stop and get El pastor tacos, these are the best tacos I've had from a little lunch spot in a really long time and I'm glad I found them!

Edit: 10/07/2026 I've been here now almost 10 time and man the quality is always top notch and I knowu tacos are going to taste just as good as the time before, I've brought my kids and wife here. They absolutely love the food and the customer service is beyond amazing! They always smile and say hello, such a great place to eat!“

“A very active and busy restaurant! This place is constantly moving. The staff are amazing. Table turnaround from guest leaving to cleanup to new guest seated was amazingly quick. The wait staff are active in recommending good food if you dont know what to eat. They are regularly checking in and animated and talkative with you when checking on you. The manager makes a point to stop by every table to make sure you are enjoying the food. Manager even grabbed a broom to sweep a mess up and pulled dishes to help clean as well as helped run food out. They have a system and it works. The food is amazing. I highly recommend the Chicken Fajitas. Juicy, tender and amazing. The salsa and other fresh ingredients are fantastic as well. Just the right kick from the homemade salsa.“

“We ordered the La Familia for pick up two days in advance. Our experience was excellent. Everything was ready for us and guests were happy. Served six with leftovers. Enjoyed especially were fajitas, tortillas, guacamole and chili con queso and rice and beans. Will definitely order again!“

“Absolutely the best tacos south of Houston. Crossroads brisket all the way 🤤✨“

“Omg the fajita meat is amazing! My daughter got the birria tacos; she said they were juicy and the dipping sauce was delicious! Very prompt and courteous service! Prices are average… Birria tacos come with (3) @$15 and all the fixings Fajitas for one are approx $20 Quesadillas are the freaking BOMB @ $15 for a 1/2 Overall!!! A WIN!!!! Defin a place to revisit !!!“

“Todo es muy bueno ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️Muchas gracias“

“I came by today to buy some of the best tamales EVER, kist to fid the truck gone. It is Good Friday so perhaps you were just taking the day off. Right? You will be back... please?“

“The food was good.

The breakfast burritos were a good size and tasty.

Overall we liked everything we got.

It’s a friendly place and a nice neighborhood restaurant but I wouldn’t drive across town for them.

The prices were fair but a tad on the high side for what you’re getting.“

“The waitress named Susanna is top notch. She speaks very well and she is one of the best waitresses my husband and I ever had serve us.“

“I celebrated my birthday with a family member for the first time at Red River Cantina. The food was outstanding! The service was right on. The ambiance was TexMex classic. The ladies bathroom was impeccably clean and well stocked. Our server surprised me with a beautifully and delicious complimentary Sopapillas with cream and a lit birthday candle. Red River Cantina has nothing to envy their competitors. We all know who they are. Red River is our new restaurant for delicious and reasonably priced TexMex dining! Next on our list is their BBQ restaurant! Can't wait!“

“I have to give Diego the manager, and Thomas the waiter a five-star rating for exceptional service. They went above and beyond their call of duty. In addition, the food we ordered was amazing! We had one of the fajita combination platters. The lamb chops were amazing and so were the beef fajitas. I highly recommend this restaurant and Thomas the waiter!“

“We go to El Tiempo almost every week and went last night and sat at the bar and as always Gilbert treated us like family! The food is always great but we will continue to go back because Gilbert always makes sure we have a wonderful experience!“

“love their baby back ribs! also their chicken strips with the honey chipotle sauce! 😋“

“We’ve been fans of all of the locations of Barcenas for years. The Marina Bay location is every bit as exceptional as the others. The food is consistently delicious, the service is outstanding. Nelly is so welcoming and makes sure every single table is happy. Manny is always just the absolute best and incredibly patient with our indecisiveness. You can’t beat the Taco Tuesday prices and they serve breakfast all day every day! A great experience every time we visit!! I’ll put some pictures in the comments.“

“We ordered prosecco and an appetizer to share. The waitress brought the 2 bottles of prosecco and 2 glasses and walked away! She put them on the table without opening the bottles or pouring the prosecco into the glasses. When she brought the appetizer we asked her to open the bottles because neither of us were physically able to open them. After she left we realized we were not given plates. Unfortunately we never saw her again until we flagged her down to get the check. I have been to Baja Cantina many, many times and this is the worst service I have ever received. So sad.“

“always good!!!! Diego was amazing!!!“

“Tara and CeCe are the best! I eat here almost every week. Their hospitality is great! Always helpful, always smiling. One of the best places around! Marcus Allen“

“Very tasty and reasonably affordable food. Big portions too“

“5/5 Stars – Hands down some of the best Tex-Mex in Clear Lake!
​What an incredible meal! From start to finish, everything at Lupe Tortilla in Kemah hit the spot.
​Appetizers & Drinks, We kicked things off with the queso, creamy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, along with outstanding chips and salsa. The margarita was perfectly balanced, crisp, refreshing, and tasty.
​The Main Event, We ordered a pound of the beef fajitas with all the fixings. The beef was amazingly tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The portions were so generous we even had leftovers to look forward to!
​The Tortillas, You can't skip mentioning those iconic, paper-thin, fresh tortillas, absolutely legendary.
​If you are looking for an outstanding, festive atmosphere and top-tier Tex-Mex, don't hesitate, run, don't walk, to Lupe Tortilla in Kemah!“
