“Walked into this place not knowing what to expect. Ordered the guac and polo tacos and wow! Both delicious! Love the decor and vibe. Only negative is air freshener was a bit strong, like a window needs to be opened it's too much! Otherwise fantastic service and good.“
“FOOD IS SOOOOOO GOOD! My fav is the California Burrito. My wife likes getting a mixture of tacos. The customer service is always top notch! Always clean and well stocked on sauces that you can grab yourself. The little outside area is great for enjoying your meal in the beautiful fresh air. Always a 10/10 experience!“
“We enjoyed the street corn appetizer and the vegetarian enchiladas! The green salsa is my favorite. The service was fantastic and we even visited with Uli. The tucked away location is off Research Forest just west of Kuykendahl. Make the effort to visit and you won’t be disappointed! Cheers!“
“If your expecting TexMex, don't go, if you like authentic Mexican Food, don't miss it. I had the slow braised lamb shank, fall of the bone cut it with a fork. The shrimp tequila shrimp's were mushy and taken off the bill. Otherwise the food was excellent. Service was impeccable.“

“The beans were really delicious. Love the fresh chips. The service was excellent. The bathroom is very clean. The beef in the street tacos were cooked very dry and hard which i felt that I was eating beef jerky tacos. And they are not flavored enough.“
“2024/ Totally different restaurant compared to my previous review. Service is terrible. Waiters totally distracted. My drink with strange particles inside. Food bad quality. Chicken was like chewing gum, order totally confused, very expensive. Definitely not the excellent “Cafe di Fiori” from before. Nice wine glasses are not making a better place. I was regular and today is the last time I come. Will share the word because service is disastrous. Sad to see how a good place is deteriorated.2023 / Definitely the best Mexican upscale restaurant in The Woodlands. Great environment, wonderful staff and delicious food“
“Best quesobirria tacos hands down. This food is authentic and carefully crafted with the ingredients they use. I love quesobirra Tacos but restaurants hardly ever make them or if they do it’s not the best. Here they specialize in it. And always great service !“
“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.“
“It’s my first time stopping in, and honestly I’m just killing time before a hair appointment two doors down. $7.95 jumbo frozen margaritas are the special, so I’m having that and some queso blanco. Both are good but what’s really impressing me is the cleanliness. I’m sitting at the bar, the state of which can tell you a LOT about how clean a restaurant really is, and it’s spotless. No dust, no streaky surfaces or cloudy, sticky old bottles. Even their reach-in cooler and everything in it is clean as a whistle. And those things don’t lie, man - the light is BRIGHT and if it’s gross in there you can’t miss it. So yeah, I’ll plan my next haircut around lunchtime so I can try some of their delicious-looking entrees.“
“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“
“I really outstanding Mexican food restaurant here in the Woodlands. It’s totally worth checking out. The chips are definitely outstanding and their salsa is great! Both the bread and the green. Several different takes on fajitas which are interesting and very good. I had the fajitas Mexicana, which incorporates Jalapeños and tomatoes. Very very good!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 would rate this location a 5+ for the food alone, but the staff went above and beyond catering for my daughter’s wedding this weekend! They are genuinely a great group of people who made me feel 100% comfortable that the food and service would be amazing! They did not disappoint at all!! We are beyond grateful!!“
“I been to Baja plenty of times but yesterday was the first time we waited 30+mins to get our food and our waitress was nowhere to be found. Once we got our food it was cold! I’m pretty surprised at the service since we have never had issues before. Hopefully it was a one time thing. I also noticed their margaritas went to smaller cups.“
“I never knew this place was in The Woodlands till I told my son that I wish we had one here then he tells me that there is one but one week later I moved out of the Arial and back to Houston this whole time I could have been living it up but I love this place always good and this place was very good as well“
“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.“
“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!!!“
