50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Missouri City

“You have to try the tamales at Johnnys! I am a die hard tamale lover and the tamales were delicious. My recommendation would be the tamales (obviously), fish tacos, tres leches, churros, and chips & salsa! Our waiter was incredible! He was very welcoming, attentive, and polite. Service is extremely important and depending on your waiter and restaurant, it can be hit or miss. However, that was not the case during our visit. Hospitality was prioritized which was evident after meeting both manager and owner. Great experience!“

“Dinner was great. Our server, William, was attentive and very personable. We had a large group (16 women) and all meals/beverages were accurate. Very enjoyable experience.“

“I would like to thank Jason for helping make my daughter’s confirmation party a great one. I called the day before the party to see what they had to offer because I was tired and couldn’t think of what to cook for my guests. He took his time go through the different options available and I told him that I would think about it and call back. I did so thirty minutes later and set the delivery for 2pm the following day. The confirmation ceremony was a little shorter than scheduled so my husband asked me to call and see if I they could deliver the food earlier. I called, it was Jason again, and without question he promised to have it to us as soon as possible. They did so before 1:30p. The food was hot, so I did not have to reheat it. My friend helped me set it up. I got the party pack with beef. We were both amazed by the amount of food and by the fact that they brought us plates, forks ( which I forgot to get at the store) . The food was a hit with my picky teens and adults guests. Thank you so much for your patience with me. I now understand why my friend Ashlee orders from you. So Jason, once again, you are AWESOME!!!! Be ready for more orders from my friends for upcoming graduation parties 😅.“

“If it’s Torchy’s… It’s gonna be good! Can’t wait!“

“The new online menu was easy to order from. Love the curbside delivery. Food was delicious. Picked up food for my 11 year old grandson and delivered it to him like I was his personal delivery person. He couldn’t stop saying, “thank you, grandma.” His new favorite food place🍽️. I love the three for me menu option. Lots of food for the price.“

“Went to Lupe Tortilla with my sisters and had an amazing experience thanks to our server, Tony. From the moment we sat down, he kept us laughing and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Honestly, having Tony as your server feels like hitting the waiter lottery.

We never had to ask for refills, extra chips, or anything he was always one step ahead. He even recommended the tres leches cake, and it was absolutely delicious. The food was great, but truthfully, I’d come back just for the service alone.“

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

“Great Mexican food and marguerites!“

“The food is so delicious & so fresh ! My waiter was one of the best , Jose Luis ! He was very attentive & took my order & had ny drink of choice served to me in less than 3 minutes . He made sure my meal was the way I wanted it & thanked me for coming in . Very pleasant“

“I came here to watch a World Cup match and the service was fantastic and the food was good! I think my servers name was Luis and he was very attentive and knew his soccer! I’ll be coming back for another World Cup match with yall for sure“

“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!!“

“My experience at the restaurant was excellent thanks to James and Lisa. They were both friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. James was professional and helpful with recommendations, while Lisa checked in regularly and made us feel welcome. Their teamwork and great customer service really stood out. Thank you both for making my visit enjoyable—I look forward to coming back!“

“First time and our server Saul was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the menu. The food was delicious . We came here from Laredo to celebrate my son birthday. I highly recommend this restaurant which by the way they have several locations . Saul you are the best waiter😋“

“Best Tex Mex around ! Nice indoor dining or if you prefer, an awesome bar area where you can eat and drink. Originally started in a compact strip-center space, now in their own authentic looking (and large) structure. Best salsa ever !“

“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.“

“CUTEST place with great atmosphere, deeeelicious food AND aaahmazing service! Our entire party enjoyed every thing we ordered - the queso (most important), the pork skins, the chicken & waffles were toooo die for, the bacon wrapped shrimp, rice & beans and the burgers! Thank you so much!!“

“The food was very good. We drive about 45 minutes to find here. The shelf margarita was great! I had the shrimp,steak, and chicken fajita with salad- very enjoyable. Since I don't eat pork, I was extremely happy that the waitress was familiar with the menu items and could tell me food products with bacon/lard.“

“Enjoyed chicken quesadilla and beef fajita. Service was fast and attentive. First time dining at Gringos and would definitely come back again.“

“My family and I were apart of a party of about 20 people and the staff and food were incredible! Everyone was so nice, and accommodating. Our party was constantly playing musical chairs but the staff took it in stride. Everyone really enjoyed the food too and drinks too. I would highly recommend this place!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Tex-Mex Institution You Can’t Copy Molina’s Cantina Westheimer has been serving authentic Tex-Mex for over 80 years, and it’s easy to see why. The house margarita is legendary — truly one of the best in Texas. Many have tried to copy the original salsa and the iconic Jose’s Dip, but nothing comes close. The dedication shows: some staff have been here 40–50+ years! Last night I had the Bubba de Tejas Hambergueso con Queso, and it was absolutely over the top — possibly the best burger I’ve ever had. A true Texas classic.“

“This El Tiempo Cantina was okay. The wait staff was very attentive, and actually maybe too attentive. We were trying to have uninterrupted conversation over lunch and they came by literally 12 times to ask if things were okay when we just wanted to talk. Otherwise, the food was okay, and that's the real reason for 4 stars instead of 5, because the atmosphere is excellent and again, they were very friendly.“

“The manager, Mr. Bowman, is a hero! He helped us greatly in dealing with a patient in a nearby Nursing facility like a champ. So grateful for his loving concern and just plain on human kindness which is rare sometimes. We will never forget it. Thank you againg!“

“Nice Mexican food. If you are looking for Mexican food, El Tiempo is your top choices. We usually have fajitas on Wednesday. There is plenty of food that we have left over to enjoy the next day. Their freshly made tortillas and salsa is amazing 🤩. We dine in and catered out for our clients.“

“Great experience here on a quick trip to Houston: my server Christopher was kind and helpful, giving recommendations that made the meal and taking time to talk about the Texans when I started the conversation. Fajitas were tops, chips and salsa really good too. Zero complaints, will definitely be back.“

“I have been going here before the fire. I still see the regular customers same as myself still going. Very good food and service!“

“pre-birthday celebration I have been coming to Houston Molina's for 25 years. Love it so much! ❤️“

“Well all depends on wht you are ordering prices vary. Above all super good never a fail. Their salsa is sooo good and spicy they are quick I can order over the phone by the time I get there food is ready suoer good btw and really really great food service.“

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

“Simply the best quesadilla I have ever had. I am being very serious. Their website was very easy and user friendly. Placed the order and pick it up in 10 min.My son loved the fajipapas, which was something I have never seen on menu, however my son wanted fries and fajitas so that worked like a charm. Prices are fair and the customer service at their website's chat was also good.So 5 stars to them. I was one of their first customers as today is their opening day :). Will keep ordering form you!“

“Awesome!!! The food was delicious and the portions are so big… Marie our waitress served us very friendly, we had a small misunderstanding with a starter but they solved us in a very nice way with the dessert. We are Mexicans and without a doubt we were not disappointed.“
