50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Jacinto City

“We enjoyed ourselves watching the game“

“Outstanding food and prices“

“Nate was great!! Will be back!!“

“We stumbled into this restaurant on a Saturday looking for breakfast and fell in love. Everything was excellent, atmosphere, food, staff and service. We liked it so much that we went back the next day for lunch. It truly is a gem of a restaurant!“

“She was such a good server I want her everytime we come here she always come by our table to see if we need anything and she make suggestions we love her“

“Honestly I’ve been coming here for years, and the food is always affordable, and delicious. The chips and salsa are kinda meh, but I go there for the actual food, and always skip out on that because the chips there aren’t very tasty. If you’re looking for super authentic then you might be disappointed. Now it’s not full blown Tex Mex, but it definitely has its influences on some of the dishes. The tortillas are homemade, and the staff is nice. Parking can suck at times.“

“Kaz was awesome Great food and service ! A must if your wanting Mexican food and drinks“

“I hope this message finds you well. My wife and I visited your Lamar Street location on December 26th, and I wanted to take a moment to share how truly extraordinary our experience was, thanks to your incredible staff. We had arrived at your restaurant after a frustrating experience earlier in the day. We had been scammed out of tickets for the 3:00 showing of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and while my wife was trying to resolve the issue with Ticketmaster, I thought we could at least enjoy a drink and try to make the best of it. My wife had been really excited for the performance, so needless to say, she was disappointed. What followed, however, turned what could have been a discouraging evening into something unforgettable. Our server, Carlos, came over and informed us that his manager had overheard our situation and wanted to offer us a free appetizer. We were so touched by this generous gesture. As the night continued, my wife was still on the phone trying to resolve the issue, and at that point, Kayla, another member of your team, came over and offered us a free dinner. Again, we were so grateful, and the kindness shown by your staff really started to lift our spirits. But the incredible service didn’t stop there. Later on, Kayla asked if we had any plans for the evening, and when we mentioned that we were heading home due to the day’s frustrations, she smiled and said, “Okay, so you have no plans. Good to know.” We had no idea what was coming next. Jon, your General Manager, then came over to our table with some astonishing news. He had purchased two tickets for us to attend the 7:30 showing of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra! We were completely taken aback—shocked, in fact. We thought we might be on a hidden camera show. But that’s not all. Jon didn’t stop there. When he learned that the digital tickets hadn’t come through, he walked with us to the Toyota Center Box Office, personally bought us two tickets, and handed them to us with a smile. “Enjoy the show,” he said. We were floored by his generosity and thoughtfulness. This act of kindness truly went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. We’ve been loyal customers of your Lamar Street, NRG, Sugar Land, Little Pappasito’s, and Webster locations for quite some time, and we’ve always considered your restaurants among the best in Houston. But after this experience, we feel even more connected to the Pappasito's family. The care and heart shown by your staff, particularly Carlos, Kayla, and Jon, made all the difference in our night. We can’t thank you enough for turning what had started as a disappointing evening into a truly memorable one. Please pass along our deepest gratitude to everyone involved. Thank you again for your exceptional hospitality and for going above and beyond to make us feel valued. We will continue to be loyal patrons of your restaurants, and we’ll be sure to share this incredible story with friends and family.“

“Our experience at Ninfas is always stellar. We love their fajitas, chips and dip and margaritas. Our server last time we were there, Ernesto Islas, was awesome and anticipated our every need. Thanks Ninfa’s for being our go-to Mexican food spot!“

“Was there friday night July 17 everything was perfect haven't had that experience in a while any of the other restaurant in houston I highly recommended it there And service with the waiter, was out of this world he was on top of his game Thank you very much , Manny !“

“Just a really good taco spot close to my home!!!“

“The food and service overall was a good experience. Got the 3 for Me special and the total for a family of 4 was right under $60 and that included dessert. Food was hot and only this wrong was the particular dessert but that was no fault of the server. Will definitely consider coming back.“

“I love this place. Been eating there all my life and still do. Will always taste like home!“

“Excellent food Excellent service if you want authentic food no cheap fake fajita ... this is the place.. yummy“

“A big THANK YOU to Jerry for our delicious Jerry’s Special. The staff here at WellAid Clinic always enjoys your food from El Tejano!“

“amazing food, amazing service and atmosphere“

“The burrito I had was fire. 1 of the best Carne asada burritos I ever had. And the customer service was amazing as well. Drove 40 miles to come here, and will do it again and again while I'm out here in Texas working.“

“First time here and we loved it! Brandon took good care of us and the food was excellent! 5 stars !!“

“Nilgai burger was possibly the best burger I’ve ever had!!!! Staff are very friendly and attentive, excellent atmosphere for a casual dinner.“

“Fajitas are the bomb! Please bring back Charro beans! We loved our waitress Angie ❤️“

“Miguel reworked a vegan (no meat. No dairy) sanwhich for me. Loved it! And well priced. Avocado, cooked cabbage & cilantro, with raw lettuce tomatoes on a sandwich bread. Naturally juicy. But I put the green & spicy red sauce in mine. Definitely should add it to the menu as "The Lady Be Migas" sandwich. ~ switch it out for a burger bun or a taco style. Muy delicioso! + I got a full side order of fries. He had the thick cut crinkly ones, seasoned. You can also get a small side of fries for extra $2. Custy Service ~ Very friendly. Good bilingual skills.“

“Todo muy delicioso me encanta el personal de este restaurante gente muy amable“

“This place was soooo good!! The Camarones Tijuana was plenty for my husband and I to split. It was delicious. Salsa was great! Kids nachos was good, as well as the kids taco plate. 10/10!!“

“The crispy chips and tomato salsa were the only things better than the Texans win tonight. Honestly, I am the best thing you will order all week, so a cute guy should just step up and say hello. I am ready to be your favorite part of the game.“

“Really enjoyed this spot. Great atmosphere with tons of TVs playing the baseball games, which made it a fun place to hang out and watch sports. Huge drink selection, good food, and the salsa was honestly some of the best I’ve had in a while.

Service was very attentive throughout the night. Only awkward part was getting my drink served in what looked like a kids cup at first, but overall the experience was still really good. Definitely a solid place for Mexican seafood, drinks, and catching a game.“

“Such delicious food. You can tell that the chefs love to cook. I love soup, and their Caldo Xochill very good. (Too many restaurants only have tortilla soup. I want caldo.) This part of town has a lot of TexMex restaurants, but this one is my favorite.“

“Always nice to enjoy with friends and family“

“Absolutely one of the coolest spots in Houston and arguably all of North America“

“Really friendly the staff treats you like family the food it the bomb.com I highly recommend this place“

“Mayra did an excellent job assisting me in scheduling a catered lunch for a huge customer of mine. She was very kind and helpful throughout the entire process. Ruby was prompt in delivering and setting up the buffet. My VIP customer loved the lunch. It was absolutely delicious! I will definitely use you again! Thanks for knocking it out the park.“

“The waiter Huber basically told us what not to order. NOTE When you come to this location bring your own silverware, we had to share a knife among 3 people. The enchiladas & steak, more like a slice of brisket drenched in a salty cheese sauce. Awful!! The beef enchilada, unflavored ground meat, again drenched in a red sauce WITH cheese. Cancun tilapia again with cheese and 8 tiny cocktail shrimp - no garlic sauce The plate was hot but not the food. At 8ish on a saturday night they only had 3 or 4 tables, no more than 12 people, including us 3 If they were starting to close for the day, they should've close the area they were cleaning. I don't appreciate smelling 'Fabuloso" while I'm eating with the mop bucket next to my table. Really your motto should be "Why are you still in business..." Marked as 1st and last on places not to visit. Overpriced for the food quality“

“I have been coming here for afterwork happy hours for years now. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed with live music on occasion. The bar staff is top notch and really take care of you - shout out to Adan and Jose for holding it down! Can honestly say I've never had bad service here. Highly recommend Whitehall for a weekend stay if you're passing through or a stop at part & parcel if you find yourself killing time downtown.“

“I haven't had Bullritos since at least 2012 when they had a location on Richmond and Weslayan. It's been over a decade now so when I saw this location was open while at the Esperson Building on business, I wasted no time coming in. Yes, it's a bit different because they do not have the bags anymore. Instead you tell the servers exactly what you want in a serving line similar to Subway. They also only have canned drinks, no fountain drinks. I ordered a Bullrito with steak and it was great and I think even bigger than what I remember from way back then! Every employee was friendly! I wish they would open more locations because I live nowhere near this location, and it will probably be a while before I am in this area on business again. But when I return, I will be back!“

“Tikkas & Takkos has made the food truck scene in Houston even better with their amazing Indian halal food. The flavors are strong, the spices are just right, and the quality is excellent. You have to try their tasty kebabs and delicious sauces. A must try food truck!“

“Good food for a decent price. This was the lunch quesadilla plate.“

“Even when arriving JUsT before closing after the Mercy Me concert at the Toyota center.. we were treated and fed like 👑 kings and queens 👸 ‼️& THE best Kale 🥬 salad that I’ve had thus far in my almost 6 decades on this earth 🌎 ‼️braaavoo“

“Great Food and awesome DJ..“

“The food is great ,but one waitress in the mornings she is kind of rude, I’ve been there a few times in the last years ,she been working there for a while and every time I get her she does not have the best personality especially when they messed up on your order she doesn’t try to correct it sometimes makes excuses. I went this morning ordered a coffee came out cold. She told me that she just because it’s the first batch that happens. I never heard of that before , but I’m not a coffee expert. But hopefully the management there could help this waitress do much better with her customers.“

“I highly recommend Taqueria Los Reyes here in Jacinto City, Tx because of the delicious home cooked food that’s authentic Mexican food with home made tortillas. And the staff here are very friendly and helpful. No long waiting on your food, and plenty of variety to choose from. If you are looking for authentic, this is the place.“

“I have been eating here since 1982 always great a prices are wonderfully cheap...lol“

“Great food truck in the neighborhood. Got 2 fajita tortas, 4 tacos (pastor, two fajita, tripa), and 2 gorditas (pastor and fajita) for $30. It came with green salsa and 4 little containers of charro beans. Everything was so well seasoned and was made to order. Will definitely be coming back. I recommend the plate of tacos for $6! Updated menu in the photos.“

“Good food,Ive ordered their special lunch to go,chicken enchiladas are delicious with salsa and chips to enjoy with your rice and beans plate.good portion.Blended ice margaritas in different flavors we tried strawberry and was very good.Their take out orders are done fast and accurate.Guy manager is always nice,attentive and very professional.This place really meets your expectactios.

“.uy rica su comida y la atención no se diga María mi mesera le doy un 10 excelente servicio gracias y nos vemos pronto 🙏“

“We absolutely love everything they offer. The barbacoa tacos, especially, are amazing! One note: the Carne Guisada tacos are really good, but very messy.“

“Some of the best food in Texas!!!“

“Excelente muy rico los tacos“

“The staff was great and made ordering very easy over the weekend. I had ordered with Nadia in the morning and a couple different gentlemen in the evening for dinner.
It was especially convenient having the restaurant located in the lobby for quick meals in the mornings, or after long afternoons.
I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone staying at the Whitehall Houston.“

“Great tasting food but took 2 stars because there’s a girl with red hair hostess when we got there she didn’t even acknowledge us until a waiter called out to her kinda like hey u have customers she was facing down scribbling on a paper for a minute I found it disrespectful she looked like she didn’t want to be there“

“Their enchilada gravy has been bringing me back in for years! All of their food is high quality with great prices, too! Manager is very nice and accommodating! Nice family atmosphere. Something for everyone!“

“This is my local spot for chicken tortas. The beef can be gristly but is also good (just not my favorite). My neighbors love the tacos here. Great quick spot to grab food when you’re in the neighborhood, especially late at night. Tasty salsas as well (the verde is quite spicy). Love it“
