50 Best Mexican Restaurants near West University Place

“The tacos are next level, love them. The duck breast was great and the steak was delicious. I won’t do the guacamole next time as it wasn’t my favorite but that doesn’t mean it is not good for others. We had free appetizer to try which was the corn one and it was delicious“

“Great service at the bar. Even though I didn’t drink. Cheese enchilada plate with rice and beans. Two tacos harina Al carbon and a flan cake for $40ish. Really good tasting food, inexpensive. Loved it!“

“I love this place! The food is incredible and the staff is so attentive and friendly. I always get the fajita combo with chicken and beef. Their salsa + meat are honestly phenomenal. I love that they added the new sautéed spinach as a side- super delish. Matt, the GM, is so kind, attentive, and just has the best customer service! The staff looks like they’re having a great time, which makes the environment a lot more inviting. Definitely recommend!“

“Best kombucha I’ve ever had! I particularly like blueberry mojito.“

“Sito’s rarely disappoints. Fajitas are always excellent. This trip we tried the Hatch Chile Relleno. FANTASTIC!! Spicy, not too much cheese and though I normally turn my nose up at a relleno with meat, the beef blend in this one was excellent.

Love their thin, crispy chips and salsa with good heat.

Service was good. Let my drink get empty, which is a peeve of mine, so I won’t call it great. She did a fantastic job describing specials and setting the mood.“

“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.“

“Si tienes nostalgia por México o simplemente tienes la curiosidad de probar la mejor comida del mundo que, para mí, en mi experiencia lo es la Comida Mexicana, esto por los sabores tan exquisitos que probé en este Restaurante y las especias que los chefs mexicanos de la Fonda Santa Rosa emplean de manera artesanal en la elaboración de los alimentos, te recomiendo de forma sincera y ampliamente la Fonda Santa Rosa. Come a bajo costo y experimenta ese gran sabor tan exquisito de la comida de este lugar.“

“Am new in Houston this has been the best restaurant my fiancé and me been in point blank,customer service , Atmosphere,food mmm 😋 top of the line will recommend it 💯period!!“

“Los mejores tacos La Sultana con todo el sabor Regio para Houston 100% recomendados.“

“Definitely one of the best chilaquiles I've ever had and their fresh aguafrescas are also amazing (my favorites being melon and cucumber). Staff is also very kind and welcoming! Definitely a great breakfast brunch vibe. Only wish there were more seating because this place is packed but I can't fault them.“

“Aris Market Square is a perfect blend of America’s Next Top Model and luxury elite living. The employees are truly beautiful inside and out. First and foremost, Chelsea, Imani, and Mahi are absolutely gorgeous and consistently amazing—always willing to help and always going above and beyond for the residents.

Chelsea somehow maintains an incredible mood and welcoming energy every single day, and it never fails to bring a smile to my face no matter what kind of day I’m having. Mahi is an amazing soul who truly goes above and beyond; she even helped me create a study guide for work-related activities that our entire staff now uses. Imani is always warm and welcoming, incredibly helpful, and even offered me a Thanksgiving plate, which meant the world to me.

Rothle is the building’s favorite “uncle”—always helpful, always smiling, and full of wisdom. Dumela! The late-night crew, Messager and Richard, are always eager to help, maintain great attitudes during the wee hours of the night, and go above and beyond to keep residents safe and satisfied.

The entire valet staff is also outstanding—one team member even helped me during move-in after noticing how exhausted I was from carrying multiple large items. All in all, I truly love Aris Market Square. It is a well-run luxury living community, and you will too!“

“Best food truck around! The burritos and tacos are absolutely delicious, and the prices are unbeatable. The service is always fast, friendly, and efficient. If you're looking for great food at a great value, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“You guys made my mother’s 80th birthday dinner so special! Thank you for your thoughtfulness!“

“Our experience at Ninfas is always stellar. We love their fajitas, chips and dip and margaritas. Our server last time we were there, Ernesto Islas, was awesome and anticipated our every need. Thanks Ninfa’s for being our go-to Mexican food spot!“

“We were looking for something different in the Tex-mex space and wow, did we find it! Very sharply decorated, not crammed together tables, friendly-professional people, and best of all? Great food! Everything we tried was prepared and presented way above the norm. The bisque was amazing and the mole enchiladas were perfect. See you again soon!“

“Los tacos estan bien mamalones!“

“Genuinely just some of the best food I’ve ever had. We came here on a whim while visiting Houston and this blows some of my favorite food in Austin out of the water. We ordered the taco with carrot confit, the chilaquiles with no meat, and the hoja santa french toast. The flavor in everything is so balanced and delicious. Kinda sad I don’t live in Houston to come by more often.“

“My coworker and I grabbed a quick lunch and drink, and our service was amazing. Our bartender was very attentive and focused. The food came out quickly and was fresh. I haven't had that good service at a Torchys in a while, so I'm glad we stopped by.“

“it was my first time eating Birria Tacos, and it was fantastic, great beef tacos, and amazing mango Margaritas. I will definitely be back👌🌮“

“We went late, like 10pm, but the service was phenomenal!! The staff were all very nice and attentive! The parking was very easy as well.
Most of the seafood was delicious!! A couple things were a little too fishy for my taste, iykyk.

The vibes were amazing and the menu is VERY diverse!! It’s a great spot!!!“

“Delicious everytime! We drive 30 min just to eat here !“

“We were just here. Not only was the food amazing but the we had one of the best bartenders in the history of ever. They mixed us a special beverage upon request and I’m a little bougie. Ariel was a huge help with all her recommendations. We will definitely return. Can’t wait to see the next taco of the month.“

“Food is great my entire family love it“

“Ive heard about this place and was in the area wanting some quick tex-mex after missing superica. I was not disappointed!! I had an Oaxaca taco (I’m vegetarian) with a small queso and guacamole. It was simple and delish! Everything came out super fresh and fast. Special thanks to Ty and Javier they were so kind and made the atmosphere even better.“

“Just a really good taco spot close to my home!!!“

“We are from New Orleans, this was our first time eating here. We come to this area every few months for medical reasons. We don’t have one close to us. Many people recommended it and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed everything we had. So good! 🙂“
