“!!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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 go to Chuy’s every year to celebrate my birthday… clearly I already love it! This visit was different - it was my last Tex-Mex before flying to the UK where I’ll spend the next several years abroad! It was BY FAR the best experience I have ever had. The food was great, as usual, but the staff were top notch! Our waitress Tee was kind, personable, and so excellent at her job! :) She even brought out this sweet treat to celebrate me! Additionally, the manager, Michael was warm and friendly and talked with us a couple of times! The BEST last Tex-Mex experience before heading across the pond!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I hadn't been to Betos in YEARS, stopped for quick lunch with a friend and it was great, actually much better than it used to be. Food was excellent and very generous portions. I had chicken quesadilla with rice and refried beans, beans were so good smokey and perfectly seasoned. Quesadilla was full of veggies and lots of chicken. We are going back for pupusas, that looked really good!“

“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 stopped by Barcena’s Mexican Cantina today on 2094 near 518 in League City, and let me tell you—I was not prepared for how good it was. 😅 This spot has seen a rotation of restaurants over the last five years, so I was a little hesitant. My husband and I were straight off the boat… dirty but clean… but still dirty in a clean kind of way. You get it. 😂 I’ve seen Birria tacos everywhere but had never actually tried them until today—and OH. MY. GOODNESS. My jaw hit the table. They were insanely delicious and officially my new obsession. I can already tell the cravings are coming. My husband ordered the crispy beef tacos and he absolutely loved them. The manager, Melissa, even stopped by our table and told us they serve breakfast all day. So yes, if we want Bellinis and pancakes at 9 PM, they’ll make them. And if we want fajitas at 9 AM? Done. That alone deserves a standing ovation. Our server. Denilson, was wonderful—kind, soft-spoken, and on top of everything. Truly a great experience from start to finish. Huge thank you to all the Bay Area food lovers who recommended this spot. We found a new favorite! 🌮❤️“

“August 18, 2026, the Chesapeake Bay passenger van took us tenants to Taco Tuesday at El Tiempo Cantina in Webster. The van’s dash display showed an outside temperature of 104 degrees.

The air-conditioned Cantina had a cheerful atmosphere, skilled decorating, friendly staff, big portions of good food, and excellent service. Our server was attentive, patient, informative, and accurate. He was helpful throughout the meal. He provided most of the ladies with boxes, plastic bowls, and bags so they could carry uneaten portions home as supper.

We agreed we’d like to return to El Tiempe Cantina in the Future.“

“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?“

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

“Spent the day with the family in Galveston for Father's dayand stopped here for an early dinner on the way home. Atmosphere was very chill, I could tell there were a good amount of regulars hanging out. Food came out pretty quick, everything looked and tasted fresh. I had an issue with my dish, but it was quickly remade and was delicious, the family enjoyed their food as well. The server was also attentive, made sure we had plenty to drink and was all around very great, unfortunately I don't remember her name as we were abit tired from the beach. I would definitely come back if I lived closer, maybe next beach trip though.“

“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!“
