21 Best Mexican Restaurants in The Woodlands

“Monarca Mexican Cocina in Creekside Park is a must-visit for Mexican cuisine enthusiasts and steak lovers alike. Their filet mignon is a highlight—perfectly tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s a top-tier choice that’s elevated by the restaurant's authentic Mexican sides and sauces. Pairing it with one of their frozen margaritas, which strike a perfect balance between tangy and refreshing, takes the experience to another level.

One of the best-kept secrets here is their speakeasy bar, Gus. Tucked away from the main dining area, Gus offers a cozy, exclusive vibe with craft cocktails that blend classic Mexican flavors with creative twists. It’s the perfect spot to unwind or start an evening with friends.

With warm, attentive service and a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere, Monarca Mexican Cocina is an ideal choice for a special night out or a casual meal with family and friends. It’s a true gem in Creekside Park!“

“Great food and Margaritas!!!“

“We came in from Corpus christi for a concert and stopped here for dinner before the show. The food was amazing. We shared a cali burrito and I give it a 10. We also ordered the rolled tacos which was good but at the end it was too much food for us. But I highly recommend this place. Service was amazing and super friendly. Can't wait to see them again in a month for the next concert here at the woodlands.“

“This was our first time eating at a Guadalajara.

Our waiter seemed to forget about us for an extended period of time, which is odd because we went on a Tuesday between 4:45pm & 5:30pm. Just a handful of customers there.
Food was super hot ..as well as the plates.
Food was good except for this green like sauce on the enchiladas. I ordered the Fried chicken enchiladas.
We had our taste buds ready for fried ice cream only to be disappointed. It ..well to us it was like cookies & cream ice cream in a waffle bowl. That's not what we were expecting.“
