“EVERY-TIME we come to Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen, we leave smiling, full and wanting to come back. The food was fresh, delicious and portioned NOT to engorge me! Sometimes, ya even bump into the woman herself!!! Sylvia is absolutely delightful, charming and intelligent. If you’ve not been, definitely start with enchiladas!! I like “The Alice” but it’s not always on the menu….. ask anyway….. nudge nudge!!“

“Julio was our waiter yesterday and he was exceptional. He was very attentive and noticed it was our daughter’s birthday. He made her day special without us even asking. Thank you for taking time to recognize her during such a busy night.“

“I love this place! The food is incredible and the staff is so attentive and friendly. I always get the fajita combo with chicken and beef. Their salsa + meat are honestly phenomenal. I love that they added the new sautéed spinach as a side- super delish. Matt, the GM, is so kind, attentive, and just has the best customer service! The staff looks like they’re having a great time, which makes the environment a lot more inviting. Definitely recommend!“

“We went to the new location for the first time last night. I’m happy to report they have the same delicious food and friendly staff. There were 6 of us at the table. All food came out fairly quickly from ordering time and we were all served at the same time. It is saying a lot because the restaurant was packed at the time on a Sunday evening. The food was served piping hot. My teens are very particular about their tortillas and fajitas …they were very happy with the food quality and taste. The price is fair comparing to today’s food prices. I had the enchiladas en molé, mom had fish tacos, and dad had tortilla soup. So good! We will be back soon!“

“Our waiter was very friendly and the food was amazing“

“The staff at the Westheimer location has great customer service and they have a unified work relationship. I love the way they greet other with hugs and hand shakes. They are also very personable with their customers.“

“Mr. Isaias Galvan is our favorite waiter. He is super friendly & is very accommodating with dietary preferences. He always makes us laugh. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is bright & welcoming.“

“I would like to thank Kris for the wonderful service he gave our table of 8 older women on Sunday lunch. Even though Gringos was so busy Kris was patient and helpful taking great care of us. We all hope to see him again😍“

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food is consistently delicious! The salsa is my favorite, and it's made fresh everyday. The staff is phenomenal! They are friendly and very attentive, making us feel like we are home! I LOVE this place and cannot recommend it enough! 5 stars!“

“This place is a very nice neighborhood restaurant. I went here around 2 pm. Some tables were full and the staff was short handed at first but got much better after we were seated.

The complimentary chips were fresh. Salsa was very good and chunky.

I ordered the ribeye (31). It was on medium thickness and done exactly the way II wanted it (medium rare). The asparagus was kind of undercooked, but I didn't mind. Rice was dry very firm, not the mush you see in most Mexican places. Beans were definitely made fresh and had a nice cumin aftertaste.

My friends had the beef fajita platter for 2 ($48). They really were satisfied with the portions especially the sides. The beef was very tender and was served with onions on a very hot sizzling plate.

I concur on the tortillas, they are really fresh.

Overall the food was of high quality but salty. If I happen to go back, I would tell them to lay off the salt a bit on everything. Service was exemplary, out beverages never ran out, and our empty plates were cleared promptly.

I would have no reservations going back if given a chance.“

“Highly recommend in this kitchen they offer amazing delicious food plus the customer service in Tomball Texas was outstanding. Definitely would recommend this to everyone.“

“Love our Spring Branch icon !!❤️❤️“

“Excellent food, excellent costumer service“

“We had lunch here, we saw good reviews on the fajitas and they did not disappoint! Chicken was juicy and the beef fajitas were soft.Both the flour and corn tortillas were good. If you want extra tortillas, it’s $3 for 6 tortillas. Our waiter, Jordan, was very polite, and provided speedy service. Nice spot for Tex mex, would recommend.“

“First went to The Original El Gallo on Jones Rd around 1984. It was a frequent place to get Tex Mex for my good friend Mike Logan & his family. Have loved going there ever since. The best thing is it tastes as good today as it did the first time. Only complaint is we don’t live close enough to go as often.“

“Great food, the person taking my order was very friendly. Spoke spanish and english for my non spanish speaking friends reading this. My food was delicious. They had no problems taking customizations for my order. Highly recommend this place.“

“I love there green chicken enchiladas always fresh and the margaritas and so good to top a great dinner“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!“

“Great! Just like old times.“

“Me and my husband go here for our anniversary and our birthdays best mexican restaurant and food in spring branch ?“

“Great staff and the chiles rellenos were so good!!“

“Excellent place for a variety of fajita fillings. The quail in particular was delicious. The service was top-notch, but the party room wasn't conducive to good conversation across a large group, but rather had an L shape to the table that segmented conversation too much. Overall, a fantastic restaurant, but not ideal for a large group.“

“Baja fish tacos are as close as you can get to Cabo without a passport.“

“We had a wonderful dinner with friends last night at Good Co. Cantina! Everything from the service (Jose was our waiter), to the cocktails (Mexican mule was delicious), and the Parrillada Familiar was excellent.“

“Great Margaritas at great prices! Excellent service and excellent food! Great servers! All very friendly, professional and courteous! Love this place, we come here at least twice a week!“

“EXCELLENT! Food was Fantastic and the staff so friendly and efficient. I ordered the 3 crispy beef tacos with Mexican rice and refried beans, everything on the plate was served hot and very tasty lots of food for 11.89. My sister ordered Changa also with Mexican rice and refried beans it was a full plate of hot food. Great place!“

“agradeciendo por su excelente servicio en nuestra celebración de graduación de mi hija, la comida muy buena y la atención de la mesera Tania! se lo recomiendo“

“We’ve ordered their tamales from here before and enjoyed them so we decided to try out the chilaquiles plate and tacos from here. I liked the flour tortillas, eggs, potatoes and beans on this plate. We had brisket and egg and sausage and egg tacos. It is a wait because it’s fresh and made to order but so worth it. The brisket was savory and juicy. The tacos are small but delicious in flavor. There’s a lot of different seating styles and they have an area to choose your sauces, onions, and cilantro to add to your meal so that’s nice. You do order at the counter and they’ll deliver your plate to your table. This Mexican food is authentic just like how I make it and I really enjoyed it.“

“I grew up in the memorial area, and getting take out fajitas have been a part of my life for many years. We decided to change up our usual spot one night to try out Pete’s. While it was still new and had some starting pains, the food was delish and the customer service was fantastic. When I got the food home it was perfect! It tasted fresh, and was seasoned well. The fresh tortillas is what made it over the top for my family! We will be coming back soon I can’t recommend it enough!“

“My neighbor called me and wanted fajitas and she wanted to go to Pappasito's Airtex. We are both widows and we had not been to that location in quite a while. We had about a 15 minute wait around 3:45. We got our table and our waiter was quick to attend to us. We got our drinks and appetizers ordered. When he brought our drinks and appetizers to us he took our order, we split an order of beef and chicken fajitas for two with extra rice and charro beans, then he asked if there was anything else we needed. We were fine. Our order came out quickly and he again asked how we were . He was very attentive and very pleasant making sure we were accommodated. As we were finishing our meal, he asked us if we wanted a desert. We were unsure, so he brought out the sample tray. We chose the ice cream balls rolled in coconut and pecans with caramel syrup drizzled on top. OMG, it was awesome. Just to let you know, the last time I was at Pappasitos was at Deerbrook and I took my son out for Father's Day. The service was not good and our waitress was no where to be found until we were ready to leave. My neighbor, June and I were very impressed with our waiter, Noah, and we will be back and will ask for him. He is knowledgeable, attentive, pleasant, professional and is doing a great job as he made our evening into an awesome dining experience He will be an asset to any business because he cares. Thank You, Melba Burton“

“Great Mexican cuisine and great staff!“

“Wow, the food here was really good! The beef was tender and the tortillas were clearly homemade. The beans and rice had great flavor and everything was seasoned really well. The atmosphere was lively, even for a weekday lunch, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The service was pretty good as well. Overall, a really solid spot with flavorful food and a great atmosphere.“

“We went on a Thursday night it was not too crowded your serve was very nice and keep coming back to check on us“

“One of our all-time favorite places to go for many many years. Our 8/27/26 visit was sadly disappointing. Stale chips, on two separate bowls. We got seated in basically the worst table in the house and it was like being in the middle of an intersection the entire meal.“

“This is the 3rd location ive eating at and ive yet to be disappointed. The staff is very friendly and the food is very fresh. I highly recommend the chicken quesadillas as they as my favorite. The fajitas are fantastic as well. I would recommend Fajita Petes for a grab and go lunch or a formal event. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“My mom and I had the most amazing stay at The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa! We stayed in the Bush Suite and loved the historical touches and photos throughout the room, it made the experience feel so special. Every staff member we encountered was kind, welcoming, and attentive. Dinner at TRIBUTE was delicious, and even in-room dining was perfectly organized and allergy-conscious. We can’t wait to come back!“

“My coworker and I grabbed a quick lunch and drink, and our service was amazing. Our bartender was very attentive and focused. The food came out quickly and was fresh. I haven't had that good service at a Torchys in a while, so I'm glad we stopped by.“

“So delicious and great service!! Enjoyed every thing we had and it was so fresh !!“

“Great service great food great prices especially at this trying times thanks 🙏“

“Excellent food. Friendly service. Reasonable prices.“

“Amazing Tex Mex!!! And I’m a super picky eater! No avocado, tomato, or onions, but dipped in avocado sauce!!!! Man!!!!!“

“Such a great spot! The food was amazing, especially the ceviche — it was so fresh and flavorful. Everything we tried tasted like authentic Mexican food and had that homemade, traditional flavor you don’t always find. The atmosphere was great too, especially if you’re looking for a place to grab some drinks and good food. Definitely recommend!“

“Had the best service with Angelina at papasitos 290 location. She was so patient and knew the menu well. She was able to recommend items that were so delicious.“

“The chef at this location, Lupe, deserves an award for how well she puts the food together, by far the best Taco Bell ive been to. Every worker at this location has a shining personality, and I highly recommend for anyone in the mall looking to eat some good taco bell.“

“I cannot lie! The tacos I ordered today were the 💣 I’ll be back, for sure!“

“My daughter was engaged there and the staff really come through and made it an extra special event. Food and service was great!!!“
