Very fun lovely place! Food and service was top notch as always. Tried the strip steak for the first time and it was fabulous!

The restaurant was overcrowded to the point of being uncomfortable. We had reservations 2 weeks ahead, but ended up at a table that was crammed in. I would have to think hard before going back.

Armando’s Mexican on Kirby never disappoints. The food is consistently flavorful and well-prepared, with standout classics like enchiladas, fajitas, queso, and fresh guacamole done right. Everything feels a step above typical Tex-Mex without losing that comforting, familiar taste. Service is attentive, professional, and polished without feeling stuffy—staff does a great job making you feel taken care of from start to finish. While it’s priced on the higher end, the quality of the food, strong drinks, and overall experience make it a solid value, especially for a nice dinner or special occasion. A Houston staple for a reason.

This is by far the most elegant Mexican restaurant in Houston! Great for special occasions!

This was not the restaurant to go to on Christmas Eve if you wanted a festive yet calm place to gather with family. It was crowded and very loud. We were completely unable to talk to anyone at the table except for the person right next to us. The music was at an obnoxious level. And the music being played was Christmas music for 13 year olds. We had to keep calling our waiter over. He never refilled my tea and forget to bring several items that we asked for. Food was ok but nothing special. Highly disappointed as was my entire family.

We had brunch with Santa and the Santa was dressed beautifully and was so kind and generous with his time. It was a wonderful event. The food and service as always were top notch!!! We hope to make this a family tradition!!!
I just had the most fabulous party for 50 in my home and Armando’s catering made it a success!!! I knew the food would be fantastic, that’s a given. We had a fajita bar with chicken, beef and shrimp, plus queso and guac stations, chips, sauces, rice & beans, tortillas and margs on the rocks. Spectacular. But the absolute rock stars who made my party soooo effortless, were the servers/bartenders: Karen, Yane and Maria. REQUEST THESE LOVELY QUEENS!!! They were soooo sweet, totally organized, FAST, and came up with a million ideas I hadn’t thought of. All three have a very artful eye and displayed my buffet so beautifully. Much more so than I envisioned and I’m veryyy particular about the details and decor. They passed drinks and dessert, as well as served at the bar and beyond. They were everywhere all at once. It was amazing!! They quickly cleared the chafing dishes off the bar and replaced them with dessert trays. Then they stored all the food in containers, organized my pantry when they put my things away, whew!!! I’ve had small catered events (Thanksgiving) but nothing as full service as this. Also, this was the largest party I’ve had in my house, so anxiety was high. But as soon as I met these three lovely women, the anxiety was gone. I knew they had me. They allowed me to be a guest at my own party. This was a discerning crowd, and everybody said it was one of the best parties they’ve been to in a very long time. None of that would have happened without Armando‘s and Karen, Yane and Maria. I can’t thank you enough!!! Seriously! Beyond touched at the extra effort by all. Again, if you’re having a catered event by Armando‘s, request this trio!!
Almost forgot, shout out to Brittanni, one of the catering associates who I communicated with in the planning of this party. We had to modify the order several times as the guest list grew and she was great!

The place was very nice and the service was good. The noise level was fairly quiet even when people started to come in. It is more of an authentic Mexican food place although, they have a few Tex-mex options. Overall, a very nice experience.

Outstanding food, ambiance, service! Perfect for date night or to celebrate any occasion!! Nice gem in River Oaks.

Armando's is our favorite Mexican food restaurant. We try to eat there whenever we are in town. The food and service are always excellent.
