“Allie was very attentive. She was checking on us every 5 minutes. She was very sweet. The only problem I had is when we first got here there were plenty of tables outside and we told them we want to eat out there. The gentleman who seated us said he didn't think that was possible. I of course ask why. He said Quote I don't know .? all in all Allie made everything alright.“

“I had the shrimp enchiladas and they were good and mild if you don’t like spicy food. They also had spinach enchiladas if you are vegetarian. The berry basil and lavender raspberry margarita were delicious!!! I would go just for drinks and never ending chips and red and green sauce! Go hungry and thirsty and with a designated driver! ?“

We're already planning our next visit to Jimmy Changas - it's a must-try for Texmex enthusiasts!“

“It was a nice quiet place to relax between Drs appointments. Nice wait staff. Chips and salsa/green sauce was good. Lots of windows and a nice array of seating. I watched Fox News ? and learned about OJ as I sat down. So that was a memorable experience. they made me feel important and attentive to what made me happy. Sweet waitress. I will go back with my kids.also. or next time I have an appointment I'll go chill by myself. I did not go to the Bar but noticed it was clean, the fruit garnish tray was fresh and bright, she was telling me about margarita specials but I wasn't drinking so they have happy hour I presume. Seems a bit pricey in some areas but if you share bear it works!! Give it a try ?Kid-friendliness: Open floor design, lots of seating, bright and happy with windows and lighting.“

“I had a lovely dinner here last night. My girlfriend and I ordered the combo fajitas, which were incredible. The rum raspberry smash was delicious, but what really stood out was the attentiveness and charisma of Stephen, our server. We felt so welcomed, and taken care of. Between the drink suggestions, and the menu knowledge, we will definitely be back soon, and even more so asking for Stephen to be our server again.“

“The Bartenders on 4-4-24 evening. Care about there customers. The most important thing of being a bartender is to talk to your customers. To make them feel like they're welcome. Well the bartenders that night not only talked with all there customers they made me feel very important. That's how to bartend. Not a easy job.but these kids know what they are doing. As a ex general manager of a restaurant for 40 years. Very impressed.“

“Omg the BEST Restaurant ? I've been to other Gringos and wasn't happy and waiting all the time. The waiter was Awesome and made sure my Family and I was taken care of! The service was great on Sunday Evening of February 25th. Drinks were really great I have a new place to eat and enjoy life... The Boss was great he was helping the staff he had and seen that I was trying to order a to go and he came over. Customer service is the best I could ever ask for... They treat people how they wanna be Treated! Thank you and I will return ?“

“I absolutely love this place. If there’s 100 fans of this taco truck, I’m one of them. If there’s none, I am no longer alive. The food? Exquisite. The Aqua Fresca? Fresh. It’s a decadent experience. I call in orders and they are constantly so sweet and always answer fast.“

“I came here during lunch. I got the Lunch’s Gigi Enchilada with Ground beef. The ground beef wasn’t that well seasoned but the red sauce made it up. Rice and refried beans were quite delicious.My co-worker got green enchiladas and the inside chicken was red. Plate was not great.It took a while to get our food when it was simple tex mex food. Wouldn’t recommend if you are in a tight schedule.Parking was easy to find, although when we left it seems all the parking was taken. So assuming it may be quite difficult to park.“

“I ordered barbacoa tacos, two flour and two corn... have not tried the flour ones but the corn están bien ricooos! I missed the cilantro and cebolla but is all good, I was lazy to go back, and the flavor was already tasty! I will go back and try the quesa birrias!“

“The food at El Toro is great. This is where I come when I want a more authentic Mexican meal. I love love love the Pasole Rojo. The atmosphere is ordinary & when it is crowded, it can be so loud it is difficult to carry on conversations.“

“This is one of my favorite spots pre-Covid!Since then their prices for fajitas for 2 have sky rocketed. Used to be $50 bucks now you’ll be at $75. Just a heads up, so there isn’t any surprises.It’s still one of the best flavor local spots. Just don’t visit it quite as often anymore.The service is typically good, but some servers excel more than others. I’d suggest staying away from the bar sitting area if your not ordering drinks.The queso flamado is my favorite appetizer. Highly recommended for any cheese lovers out there.The fajitas for 2 is our go to, comes with everything you need. Rice, beans, tortillas, cheese, salsa, avocado, lettuce, grilled onions, bell peppers, etc. You can do a mix of chicken and fajitas if you like. We typically add the bacon wrapped shrimp to ours.If you like it quite, avoid the prime time hours. Or ask to sit outside or the back inside. Inside tends to get rather noisy.Wait times aren’t normally to bad.“

“Our favorite Mexican Restaurant!! The food is ALWAYS excellent; always served promptly, it is always fresh & hot. Portions are quite generous. They have the best salsa IN THE WORLD. I could practically live on it. The chips are thin, crispy, & served warm. The wait staff is always pleasant- indicating Chuy's also must be a good place to work. We love many items on the menu, but my favorites are the soft shrimp tacos & the chicken tortilla soup. My husband loves the chicken enchiladas & chimichangas. I wasn't kidding when I said it is our favorite restaurant. Their music is sort of loud, but they happily adjust it, if you mention it. The decor is just fun! Love it there! Thank you, Chuy's!!!“

“Ordered pickup on the app and for some reason got charged twice and kept getting a strange error. After calling the Baybrook location, the person who originally answered the phone was extremely nice and passed me along to the manager (Manny). Manny was also very helpful, polite, and helped work through the problem. Considering what would be an irritating situation, they made it as pleasant and smooth as possible.I've been going to that Torchy’s location (amongst others) for years for the delicious and consistent food, but the service is what will keep me going back long-term. Keep on keeping on team Torchys!“

“Our first time here...food was great and didn't wait long. Order was slightly wrong & it was totally okay...our server, Arleth went above and beyond and gave us the same order to go, on the house!!! Definitely coming back!! FYI El Sapo is gooood!“

“Our family's visits to Johnny Tamales are always the highlights of our dining adventures, thanks largely to the exceptional service we receive from Roger. This Tex-Mex haven has become our go-to spot, not just for its delicious and authentic flavors but for the warmth and excellence that Roger consistently brings to our experience. He remembers our preferences, suggests the perfect dishes to delight our palates, and ensures every visit is seamless and special. The quality of the food, from the sizzling fajitas to the savory enchiladas, is consistently outstanding, but it's Roger's personal touch that truly sets Johnny Tamales apart. His dedication to customer satisfaction and his ability to make every family feel valued and cared for are remarkable. We're grateful to have found not just a restaurant with great food, but a place where we're treated like family. Thank you, Roger, for making every meal at Johnny Tamales an unforgettable experience. Your commitment to excellence is why we'll keep coming back.“

“Here’s the thing, we absolutely love dining here at Bullritos. Doesn’t matter what time we visit, the food has always been delicious and fresh. We’ve been coming here for years. I know economy is what it is now but totally disliked that everything is basically “sold separately”. So it’s a lil bit disheartening but we still do love the food.“

“Roger's is a great place to eat cheeseburgers and some Mexican food. Awesome little place! The staff are friendly and helpful.Parking: There is plenty of parking around the building.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is wheelchair accessible.“

“over 2 years ago I've been eating at Casa Olé consistently all of my life but I frequent the Deer Park location regularly. It's not the closest location to my house but I continue to go back because there is a waitress there that goes above and beyond the call of duty. I mean she brings me my drink and appetizer as I'm being seated. She remembers everything. Top notch service! Her name is Brooke. I will continue to eat here 3-4 x's a week simply because of Brooke. The food is always good and the restaurant is always clean and the ambiance is always just right!!“

“Love this place, its a local spot. I mostly always get take out here? Chips and queso. But i find that the food here is pretty good. The place is a little old and outdated i feel like, but they do have good food. The bar atmosphere is fun. We have met all kinds of interesting people here.“

“Food was good had to ask for salsa had to ask for cream for my coffee. The atmosphere was the high pitched squeaky voice of the waitress/hostess. Talking to the cook through the window in Spanish at the top of her voice, she wasn't putting orders in she was just talkin,the guy never said a word she just nonstop squealed.“

“Gringo's came highly recommended to us, and it did not disappoint. Everything was absolutely marvelous. The service was excellent the atmosphere was nice and the food was delicious. We will most certainly visit again. I had chimichangas and my husband had the burrito we were both extremely pleased with everything.“

“Let me just start off with this, I like Chili's 3 for 11 deal.. there are not a lot of places you go to these days where you get an appetizer, entre and a drink for 11.00+/-, good price for the quantity of food items. We went at lunch time- the food tasted good, nothing was undercooked and/or burnt. The server was super attentive, polite and super fast. The only thing I didn't like were the bathrooms-super dark and the first table we were sitting in was sticky. Other than that it was pretty good.“

“Chilis has never failed me! Although they have gotten rid of the beloved Original Chicken Crispers the other items and new items on the menu make up for it! My girlfriend got the Alex’s Santa Fe burger and she loved it! I got the chicken crispers with honey mustard and honey chipotle sauce. Everything was great! The portions on the triple dipper have gotten smaller but it is still as tasty as before!“

“My recent lunch at Chuy's in Pasadena was a lively foray into Tex-Mex cuisine, shared with my sister. We indulged in their famed 'Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom'—a dish that's as fun to say as it is to eat. The service was impeccable, with staff exuding warmth and attentiveness. The bill came as a slight shock at $40 pre-tip, hinting at the sting of inflation, yet it's a sign of the times rather than a reflection on Chuy's. While the prices have risen, so has the caliber of the experience.Wheelchair accessibility: New building“

“We came on a Friday night at 8pm and receivedexceptionalservice. Our waitress was super attentive and kept checking to see if we needed anything.This little hole in the wall definitely exceeded our expectations! The carne guisada was DELICIOUS and the chimichanga was yummy.The sala and good flavor amd chips had good crunch. The jumbo jose cuervo margarita had good balance/flavor (wasn't watered-down like most restaurants do it). The price point to this restaurant were very fair. I'm a picky person, and I was very impressed. I will definitely be back.“

“This place a great, it is consistently great! If you haven't tried it, please do, now.Great tasting chicken, and moist. Yes they don't have much of a store front, it's because they are delivery. I think it's fitting for the way our society is going. I order here weekly, it's literally consistent, tastes great every time.“
