“I don't remember the last time I had a meal where I said wow, like 40+ times. The Carnitas were amazing, best I've ever had. This is the place you take out of town guests, when you want to feel proud that you're a Texan. Represents Tex Mex food at its best. Honesty, I didn't know Tex Mex could be this good. If you live in the Woodlands, lucky you. This place is a gem.“
“We had such a good time. The food is so delicious and we had the best server. Shawanda took such good care of us. I can’t wait to come back. The QUESO FLAMEADO with chorizo is a must try appetizer. I have had this dish at other places but here the queso is perfect and not too chewy.“
“I find it unfair, in a sense, for me to leave a review as I am not a fan of Tex-Mex. I am from Southern California, and it is crazy how different the food tastes.That being said, my family loves the food here and brings us by at least once a visit. I can't fault the restaurant for my preferences, so each time we visit, I pick something different on the menu and then wait to see how my gut will handle it ? I love the warm salsa tho (in CA it is served cold)!The staff here go out of their way to cater to my grandfather (a regular there) and make sure that his food is exactly how he orders it. They are friendly and accommodating, which to me means more than what the food tastes like.“
“Great music, clean, hot fresh food! Allison took exceptional care of hubby and l. She brought out something called a rainbow late which is a sampler plate of all the sauces. I never knew that was available. Allison was very very attentive, energetic, eager to serve us, made great drink recommendations, and made our visit fun! Go girl! We will back to see you!“
“The food...was so very delish!!? I was so impressed with the great food..atmosphere and the customer service. Our waiter Rob was so wonderful...Everything we needed or wanted for our lunch, he stated, "I got you!" That is great service!!!“
“Our new go-to neighborhood fave. Margaritas are great! The brisket tacos are delicious, and I also recommend the Chichenitza combo appetizer platter has all the good stuff. Wait staff is very attentive, and the atmosphere is laid back and casual.“

“This cafe is run by an Army vet with great taste in decore! Their menu is filled with homemade Texas comfort food and breakfast anytime.Service is outstanding, quick, and friendly. You will not find a better place to visit. The atmosphere is covered with family photos and texas/western decor.“
“Good food. My wife had chicken fajitas & I had the large beef fajitas nachos. Service was friendly & timely. The cost was appropriate (you won't break the bank on the check). BTW, my wife had a margarita & I had a blue cocktail... both were great.“
“This place has never let me down. The great part is that this location is consistent with the Gringo's food quality. I like to order the Plato Soldado. It's practically a mini sample of their best. Plus, they make a donation to Camp Hope for every one of those plates ordered. So it's DEFINITELY a win-win.“
“Rana's is my go-to Mexican spot in Conroe. Their mini taco plate with charro beans is a must have and the service is fantastic. My wife is a big fan of their margaritas, and their chips and salsa are solid (warm fire-roasted red and cold green). It's a great family run restaurant, cranking out stellar food.“
“We went at 7pm today and got margaritas and the appetizer with ceviche, guacamole, quesito, and cocktail shrimp and it was fantastic!I grew up in South Houston in an all Mexican neighborhood, and this food flavor is authentic, reminds me of being a kid growing up hearing Selena wile eating elote while riding my bicycle. The Stuffed Beef Fajita Avocado was perfectly crisp and tasteful. Everything tasted fresh, even the chips and perfect salsa with onions and cilantro. Our glasses never got empty, the service was A+ from the busboys and waiter, Jose.Music is loud enough not to hear other people, but quiet enough to hear your table. It’s a family restaurant, so if you don’t want to hear a baby cry occasionally, then sit near the bar or on the patio.Restroom was spotless.Our waiter Jose was kind and helpful. Great job!“
“This is one of our favorite date night places. The food is always fabulous, service is usually great, but not always, but then they can get pretty busy and I didn't know how their system works.The margaritas are a little pricey, even happy hour, especially for their size. They're not bad, but there's other great places for that value.We love the tamale corn cakes, avocado shrimp relleno, the large Guadalajara enchilada sampler platter (?)Roasted Chile creamy soup (exact name?)along with other fabulous dishes.Vegetarian options: They have a small section on menu and options for vegetarian.Parking: There's parking, though later on Friday you might have to sweat it a minute, but we've never had to leave the lot.“
“Parking: Good many, at times you have to wait for a parking place.Food is good for the wait.Kid-friendliness: Have games that kids can playhouse swing . SendThey walk around give free food coupons.Coupons are nice but the food is great. Never have gotten anything bad hereThe owner make you feel right at home. They are so friendly.They will even take your order.Their children work here also.They have karaoke that always so fun to watch.Their children are so talented. They get the kids to get into the fun“
“An absolutely amazing resturaunt. The food quality is unmatched and the servers are above and beyond caring. The servers and staff offer a sense of hospitality you can only find in the best restaurants and this pared with the absolute spectacle that is the food at this establishment is astonishing. I can't wait to come back as I already been a few times. Thank you julios!“
“Hacienda is the real deal! We had their tamales. They made them just the way I liked them. Fat and filling! I had the tamale dinner with rice and beans and with homemade tortillas, flour. My wife had the tamales in the shell. We enjoyed them thoroughly! The host was very pleasant and the waiter staff were great and accommodating! Thank U for a pleasant time! Happy New Year!“
“Tuesday is all day happy hour ! Thier margaritas are Great ! ALL thier staff is super nice and service is exceptional ! Thier menu is very affordable and priced right ! I have been there multiple times and tried most everthing on the menu. Never been disappointed ! You will like it too !Kid-friendliness: Free ice cream !!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair friendly“
“We decided to pop in here this evening since our daughter was at a sleepover. The service was great, the food was also pretty good. The only thing that made things a little weird was when the manager and our waitress started getting into about her getting cut for the evening. As a manager, he should’ve taken the employee aside, away from other employees and most importantly customers. Instead, he chose to have the conversation with her where everyone could hear. Completely unprofessional in my opinion.“
“Jesus was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable about the menu and gave excellent suggestions for our first time there. Food was GREAT!!! Everyone loved their meals. Even my picky 9 year old. I cannot rave about this place enough!! Absolutely must go to. This will be our date night Mexican place from now on.Kid-friendliness: Wide variety of kids choices“
“All around great. Our server was attentive, refilling drinks and chips often. Our order was taken efficiently and the food arrived quickly. All the meals were flavorful, fairly sized, and satisfying. As a vegetarian I had many options as the menu offers a wide variety suited to accommodate all diners. No complaints. Will definitely be back!“
“It was my husband's birthday and our 6 kids loved the menu. He loved the free shot with his margarita lol. The food is rich so wear your "get full" pants! ? The service time was average for the number of customers vs. servers, our order was accurate and everyone took home plates because the portions were filling.“
“Regularly have the Delicioso platter with fajita, pork carnitas, fish and shrimp. Great dish and always enjoy but today both the shrimp and pork were way overcooked. Flavor still good and we ate them and will be back and the fish was perfect and a highlight.“
“New spot but quickly rising to the top of best spots in Conroe. Food, drinks and service are impeccable. Vivian is amazing as is the entire staff. This place is run to be a fun, friendly, comfortable place to grab some of the best food around. Takes something special for me to review but this place deserves the credit. Give it a shot. Specials everyday and a weekends breakfast buffet that beats anything around, hands down.“
“Food is phenomenal, and service could be better. If you read my last review, you know I needed some good south of the border grub and was disappointed. Not today. Eva's is on point. Flavors are just so good. This is a hidden gem. Honestly, service is a tad lacking, but the food more than compensates.“
“This was my first time at this location and I’ve gotta say that Shelby & Eric were very friendly to my girlfriend & I from the moment we walked in. It wasn’t that fake customer service either you could tell they were genuinely kind which is refreshing in today’s world ?? Food was awesome as always (better than Chipotle imo ?)“
“The location is under new ownership I believe, and the staff has been trained very well. They are all super friendly every time no matter when you come in, they greet you and come by your table if you need anything. Much better than chipotle in terms of price and food“
“I can only really speak on the nachos, due to that mainly being what I eat. That being said, the food is delicious, especially the chips. I do wish they would bring back the birra and maybe jazz up their guacamole. What they have there now, the guac, seems to be laking something and doesn't appear as appetizing to me. Your perspective may differ.All and all they do what they advertise they do. Even when I have seen only one employee working, which surprised me, they were quick to serve you without minimum wait time.“

“One word followed by several others:INCREDIBLEFrom start to finish my husband and I had the best experience! We did not order one thing for ourselves, our bartenders Vale and Memo did recommended and ordered every single item we consumed tonight (appetizer, 2 entrees, dessert, cocktails) Not one thing disappointed us, it was all so delicious! We loved not having to think about what to get, it was the first night ever trusting a great team like Memo and Vale 100% with our meal, and we couldn't be happier.“
“I always make sure to hit this restaurant when visiting the area. Large menu and everything I've ever tried has been great. Service is always excellent and to top it off, the prices are reasonable. I recommend this place to my friends in the area.“
“We come about once a week. Tonight was the worst service ever. It won't stop us from coming during the week, but for a Saturday night they were empty and our waiter is nowhere to be found. The food is great. The drinks are great. But Eric is MIA. We would love a second drink or dessert, or even our check, but we've been waiting 30 minutes and no one will even check on us. Please fix this. We are regulars.Update: the manager apologized and gave us a gift card.“
“Amazing! First time customer. I did an online order and planned to pick it up on my way home. I got held up and didn’t think I’d make it before closing. I called to see if I could switch to delivery or if it would be ok to arrive a few minutes late. The owner said the delivery driver would be back soon and could run it over. I pulled in the driveway and the delivery pulled up right behind me. The owner delivered the order herself because the driver wasn’t back yet! Talk about service! And the food was outstanding! Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. First time customer turned customer for life!“
“Food was pretty good, atmosphere was basically a sports bar, which wasn't great. Service people were so kind and considerate, they did great.Vegetarian options: Barely any options, have to do replacing, most workers know little English tho so you gotta work around that ~ they're rly accommodating if you ask tho!!“
“Great visit . Always very nice . They let me and my dog sit on patio. I love being by the water. Check out the monthly margarita special. The chicken fajitas are my fave.Dietary restrictions: Accommodated my gluten free needs. Corn tortillas are gluten free.i enjoy the chicken fajitas“
“Didn’t catch the delivery drivers name that brought my order over to auburn lakes tonight but thank you. You were kind. I did not realize I ordered so close to your closing time but thank you all for taking care of me. Just got home from the airport and had nothing to eat!“
“Went in for their 420 special. We were the first to use it, and it confused the cashier. We were very grateful they went out of their with to check with a manager and help us navigate ordering with discount. The food was delicious as always, and was brought out in a very timely manner“
“This is a Veteran owned food truck with amazing Mexican cuisine. It's as good as it gets when it comes to Mexican food but it also sits at an outdoor covered taproom with a large selection of beer. It doesn't get much better that this.“
“I had the sirloin with Avocado and roasted asparagus and it was AMAZING! The steak was perfectly cooked to a medium rare! The asparagus and steak was well seasoned, and I didn't have to add anything to it! It was perfect for my keto lifestyle! Would definitely order again!“
“A great place for groups! We have had several celebrations here with big tables of people, all served in a quick and efficient manner. Food and drinks were great! The servers are friendly and remember repeat visitors.This is a favorite go to spot for lunch or dinner. Try the stuffed avocado. Do it.“
“Having moved here from Germany I had never visited a Freebirds before but when this location opened up I got curious and I love it ever since. The food is amazing and the dining areas are always clean. I love how welcoming the staff is.. always smiling, informative and easy to talk to!!!!“
“I ordered the scallywag it was my favorite out of my whole order besides the queso, the democrat wasn't good because the avocado was hard I couldn't eat it. But the queso is always good. I rated 3 for atmosphere because the music was too loud and people talking loud,kids climb the walls that is near the order station and tables.“
“Pleasantly surprised because I'm not fond of the unknowns. Took mom for a hair appt next door and then stopped in for lunch. We had a great time and the food was really good. My measure of a new place is to order a favorite dish and it was beef enchiladas w/rice and refried beans. I practically devoured my meal, buy had to stop because I wanted to try some of their desserts. Barely left room, but got the sopapilla's. And OMG ? so many and SO good! Definitely a dessert to share. Maybe with 3 people lolWill definitely come back and try a different dish when in the area ?“
“Great Tex-Mex, Best Service of any restaurant in the area! You get so many waiters dedicated to you never wanting for anything. One of them even made up a spicy fresh salsa for my father in law when he asked if they had a jalapeno. 5.99 piña coladas, 5.99 strawberry and peach daiquiris. Happy hour everyday 11-6 with 3.99 small house margaritas (strong too) and 9.95 Mexican draft beers (32 oz). The beans and rice are as close to made by grandma as they come. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed!“
“Best breakfast burritos around. I usually stop somewhere for breakfast tacos ( about 3 or 4 of them). For under $10 I got a giant burrito with everything I like. All the ingredients were fresh. Very good service, So if you want something that will fill you up in the morning. Give them a try!“
“A first time visit at this location... Ok, bottom line the barbacoa taco (the Democrat) was very tasty and is way overstuffed between 2 layers of tortillas.. bottom line, it was awesome!! If you have a need for barbacoa, this is a must stop and visit!! Just my opinion!“
“We drive 30 minutes to get this takeout. The lettuce, guacamole and tomato with the quesadilla is really fresh and delicious.Don’t sleep on the chips and queso too.My wife always ponders the menu but always ends up with the taco sampler and always loves it.“
“Living in The Woodlands since 2010, and in the past we have been trying to avoid this Chili’s location because we had few bad experiences with the service and quality of food.. But now, after being there with the Family 3 times, we were pleasantly surprised with the improvement we all noticed lately!! Kudos Folks!“
“First, I want to say, each time my husband and I visit this location, the hostesses are amazing - Isabeau, Aime, Krikett, Jasmine, and any other hostess I may have left out! They are so accomodating, and greet you with a big smile every time you walk through the door. I know that "hostess" is not the most popular position in the restaurant, but it is a very important position, as the hostess makes the FIRST impression. The service and food have always been stellar, especially at this location. We try to eat here at least once a week, and have been eating here for years. Cool atmosphere, cheery employees, and exellent food. Last week, I tried the shrimp tacos for the first time, with slaw and all. They were delicious. Amanda has waited on us (booth in the bar area) the last couple of times we have been in. She is an excellent server; they all are. We appreciate all the hard working people at this restaurant, and wanted to let them know that, with this review.“
