Restaurants in South Houston

“Been on my list for years and I finally tried it on a friend’s recommendation. We were very pleased with the generous selection of breakfast and lunch. Surprisingly they offer a menu and a steam table. Everyone was pleased and stuffed from the large portions.Parking: Parking in front and across the street.”

“When here for lunch, the 1st time going here in about 20 years. It was nostalgic, and just as I remember it, the food was excellent, just like I remembered. Great little place to pick up lunch.”

“My boyfriend and brother went and had an amazing time. Carletta made sure we were good and the band who was playing was awesome too. The atmosphere is kind of old school, but that’s not a bad thing. We played pool and watched couples dance, and their drink prices are really good!”

“I loveee the sancochos here :-) I'm so happy this place opened up because they have a great menu and the service is superb. The staff is really nice and welcoming. A plus is you get to listen to Latin music while you but it's not too long so you can also enjoy a casual conversation.”

“Since day one of opening, I have been a faithful customer. Only due to my new doctors am I forced to cut back, but hey now my friends and coworkers recieve Malenee Donut Blessings.”

“I had been here once before. Years ago, pre-plandemic. I checked online to verify it was still open Visited late afternoon. The place is fairly small- maybe 20-25 tables. There was a couple but they left minutes later. I ordered a cacao drink, because I asked if they had zanahoria-naranja (carrot-orange) drink and they did not. For dinner, I ordered the "cerdo asado", broiled pork meal. It also comes with green fried plantains, sweet plantains "maduro", nicaraguan style cole slaw, and "gallopinto", which is a uniquely nicaraguan mix of rice and beans, and fried cheese. The portion was large. I kept a portion of the broiled pork to take home. Everything was delicious. Broiled pork was juicy and tender.”

“Met the love of my life at this Bar. Probably won’t happen for everyone but I wasn’t looking for love either ?‍♀️. But all in all it’s a good atmosphere and met some really great people here .”

“Very unassuming place that was recommended by a coworker. I have to say that the tacos were amazing and great price! I had the pastor and beef fajita tacos in corn tortilla with cilantro. 2 tacos were only $4.79. Ladies behind the counter were very friendly. I'm going to be stopping by here regularly. You just cant beat the food taste and prices. Cant wait to try more of their stuff.”

“Had a large order that wasn't filled until I arrived but man that lady was fast and efficient. Great food especially the Menudo. You won't be disappointed.I had a large order that wasn't fulfilled until I arrived, but that lady was quick and efficient. Excellent food especially the Menudo. You will not be disappointed.”

“This is my first time trying the food from this place and I don’t regret it. Chicken is tender and juicy. The avocado salad is pretty good as well as the salchipapa. I recommend this place.”

“Tried it out with my mom not only because one of their workers goes to my spot, but because I remember their TikTok’s blowing up back in the day(2021). I unfortunately did not take pictures, but I did gobble up that food lmfaoWant to apologize if I was undercharged and got someone in trouble, I believe we ordered 5 tacos de bistec(fajita imo) 5 de pastor(trompo) and 2 gringas, I was asked if I got a drink and I said no and then my mom PROCEEDS TO GRAB a strawberry joya. I believe the total should have been $26 not $23.Gonna be as honest as possible.Went there around 9:40. Taco shop wasn’t too busy, but I was impressed about the amount of people still hanging out there even if it was 2-3 families and 12?.I loved the vibe there, brought me back to my roots. We had the tios hanging out, smoking by the trash can which I didn’t mind because they weren’t cat calling or heckling, just vibing. A group of police trying out the local food joint, but seem to be regulars. And a little dine in area inside, with a. Snack portion that we got to try out before close (10pm)Pastor:The pastor was alright, on a taco by itself I feel like it lacked a little flavor, but nothing the salsa bar can’t fix.($1ea.)Salsa bar had like 6 different salsas with some pickled onion and jalapeños you could appease yourself to. The salsa was good, just a little too runny for my taste.Gringas:Aren’t gringas supposed to be a quesadilla de pastor (trompo) with aguacate inside? Regardless this compared to a taco does NOT COMPETE! Please order con todo, as they do provide cebolla asada on the side with limones and bit that was one of the best quesadillas I had in a while, even if it was kind of small ($4 ea.)Tacos de bistec:Gotta say this bistec is better than mine, I’m gonna need that recipe! These were the best overall tacos in my opinion. But then again I only tried 3 items.Joya de Fresa:I was complaining ti my mother that this fruit punch joya tasted different, to which she clarified that it wasn’t ponche, but strawberry, and it was really good, though I’m not sure if we could take the bottle or not as the had an area to leave the glass bottles, so I finished the rest before leaving. ($3ea.)Esquite:Who doesn’t love an elote after eating?Order your elote con todo as the salsa isn’t spicy but the cup overall hits the spot($4 ea.)Next time I would like to try the pirata quesadilla, tripa, and campechana. Got my hopes up for the next round.Thank you to the three ment busting their a** through the night time!”

“Food is great specially Menudo !, (menudo 1 time bad (y’all gave me the money back)and beans 1 time bad(I got very very bad attitude) ) but all the other times great food and service, we go very often :) . I do recommend this place to a ton of ppl and they have all gone and agreed. Just some word of advice (y’all don’t have to take it), Guys don’t argue back to customers on bad reviews… I’m not sure who’s in charge of that part but looks bad. Future Customers do read these before deciding to go try the food. Unfortunately there does seem to be an attitude problem and it did affect the amount of times we would go. Still giving yall the 5 stars ⭐️. Thanks for the amazing food!”

“Best local bakery around. They make the best sesame burger buns and brioche buns. Nothing tops the cookies. Also they have whole grain tortillas made with quinoa on the weekends.”

“Cheap and very tasty ? I like this place number 1 more than any restaurant in Houston and I've been in many restaurants but no one like this one on the tasty food”
