50 Best Mexican Restaurants near West University Place

“Have had an amazing experience here every time not just the delicious and innovative details with all of their dishes and drinks they serve, but the vibes and energy here!

I’m used to my wife’s homemade traditional Mexican cuisine she learned from her abuelita but this restaurant puts an interesting and unique twist with traditional Mexican cuisine that makes us come for more again and AGAIN!

Our waiter every time we come is Daniel and he has made us lifetime fans of this restaurant! He feels like a part of our family now.“

“I recently dined at Los Tios and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was amazing, full of authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. What truly stood out was the exceptional service, particularly from a wonderful staff member named Mehadya. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her helpfulness made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Los Tios for anyone looking for great food and outstanding service!“

“We had an amazing experience here! We came for dinner and drinks before going to Discovery Green across the street for Dia De Los Muertos. Beautiful restaurant with delicious cocktails and food! The service was very friendly. We loved the variety of food. Octopus was outstanding! The mole sampler was delicious!

Parking: We used the valet, however if you leave the restaurant they may or may not have parking available nearby.“

“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!!“

“I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally found one of their locations at Post Houston during my visit. I ordered the Beef Taco Bowl to go, and it did not disappoint! The food was flavorful with a nice tangy kick, and the portion size was generous, perfect for a hearty meal. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, and I look forward to trying more from their menu in the future. Highly recommend for anyone craving a good, filling meal!“

“I am a Puerto Rican who grew up in Miami so I did not have a ton of exposure to certain foods growing up, specifically pupusas. My husband bought us some pupusas revueltas with curtido and the red sauce and it was the best pupusa I have EVER had… The curtido was perfect, the salsa was perfect, the pupusa was just right and not greasy. I am still savoring it. Highly recommend!!“

“la atencion sobre todo fue exelente. mas sim embargo degustar cada platillo (compartimos de todo) fue una experiencia maravilloza. cada uno de los sazones se podian paladear e identificar. los mariscos, y esos moles sobre todo el pato en mole de higo. exquisito. Gracias por su servicio.“

“My BMW advisor suggested this place & the shuttle brought me here while I waited for my vehicle to be serviced. Outstanding service , quality food & very good Drinks + Family owned. The Steak had NO FAT & Homemade tortillas - that you can watch being made. This place is a MUST TRY - if you are in the area.

(The area the restaurant is in is iffy but right near the expressway & dealers.)“

“I had a great experience at Aris Market Square in Houston, Texas. Mahi was incredibly helpful during my remote search for an apartment, making the virtual tour seamless and stress-free. After I moved in, Lauren provided outstanding support, which speaks volumes about the dedication of the staff at Aris Market Square. I highly recommend this team for their exceptional service both before and after moving in. Thanks to Mahi and Lauren for making my time at at Aris and incredible living experience.“

“I was in the mood for some chorizo and my husband found this place. We got chorizo con juevo and machacado de birra and bayyyyyybe. The tortillas taste handmade, the green salsa will light you up, the queso fresco is added generously and THAT MACHACADO is ? 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Kid-friendliness: Highchairs available“

“Some of the best food in Houston“

“Their tacos and service are always on point. But it really is more of a to go place, isn't it? I understand it's just tacos, but either have a bigger sitting area or none at all. And honestly, after twenty years, you would've thought they would've significantly upgraded and made it bigger. They've got plenty of room in the back for it. Idk, just saying. Then again, I only go there when I'm in the area, which is about once every six years.“

“I remember the first Torchy's in Houston. The chain has grown and put many others.

Secret is what I harp about always...
Customer Service. Great service with a smile.

The people selected to work there want to work and be there. Great choices

Prices are OK food is good.“

They’ve got the good ice (iykyk), fresh made-to-order food, frozen margs, chips + salsa; what more could you ask for! Breakfast is served all day too!! My only complaint is that they only have the one location. We live two hours away but will be coming back!“

“The food is really fantastic. We had carne guisada, taco salad, queso, quesadillas, and enchiladas. everyone was really happy with what they had. The server (Jayden) was also great. We never sat needing anything. The decor is very modern, didn’t love the comfort of the chairs. But it’s clean, cute and a great use of the old building. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“Tio Trompo is a true taqueria with authentic Mexican food! Ricardo (owner) and his staff, Miguel (a real vaquero), and Juana serve the best tacos I've ever had. What's crazy is there are a dozen Mexican Restaurants within a 1-mile radius but not one of them is as good as Tio Trompo. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Breakfast all day. Great food and service“

“Delicious food, great spot“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!“

“Amazing!!!! From start to finish I enjoyed every bit. The Baja shrimp tacos were perfect and whatever that sauce is on the street corn was lip smackin good. The young man at the counter was cool. Coming back soon for the veggie tacos. Price is reasonable for the amount and quality of food.“

“Just tried La Guadalupana for the first time and can say I'm pretty impressed with the Omelette Special I received. Was stuffed with meat, cheese, mushrooms and bell peppers and came with red sauce and a side of beans and tortillas.

Service was really good with the server constantly coming back to clean up small trash and refill our coffees.

Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that they don't offer hot syrup with pancakes, but we also don't try to be difficult when eating at places. Just a suggestion because the pancakes themselves tasted good.

Definitely on the lower priced side but the food was delicious. Will probably be back here soon :)

Parking: The bakery is located in a small parking lot shared with a store so only about 5 spots. Otherwise it's street parking.“

“They can vary a menu item to your preference. Rita's are consistently good. Seating is ample.“

“I had a wonderful time with a good friend eating and drinking at Hugo's bar. I will be back!“
