“Joseph T was theeeeeee best waiter me and my wife have experienced in a long long time!He suggested a fajita inspired enchilada that was out of this world with flavor.His service was excellent! Engaging and personable. I 1000% will be coming back because of the good food and great service from JT.“

“I love the service here! Our waiter was spectacular and very attentive. Fun atmosphere with lively music! The tortilla chips we got first for complimentary were a bit stale or old so I had to ask to get it switched out. The shrimp taco was good but just for 1, it was kinda pricy. The beef fajita sizzling platter was delicious! I like how the meat was very tender and even when it's medium rare. The onions that came with the platter were nicely sautéed. All the condiments were amazing as well. I have never tried a cajete before so this type of icecream style was very interesting. It came out cold and yummy: great for the warm weather! All the bits on it, coconut chips, crushed pecans, chocolate drizzle and strawberries, added flavor to the vanilla ice cream. I was so full, I didn't get to finish it but I took the rest to go.“

“I was treated here by my church member and it was my 1st time going here. I can’t give this place enough stars for their food, service and restaurant. I would ? per cent recommend Gringos!!!“

“Service was great! We enjoyed looking at the art on the walls. The food was ok. The chips and salsa came out when we were seated but the chips tasted like they came from the grocery store. Nothing special and very salty. Our meals were good. My husband and I had items with fajita beef which was good and tender. I would try it again but not waste my stomach space on the chips.“

“Great food great atmosphere“

“My siblings and I celebrated Christmas together on New Year’s Day. They have a nice patio area and the weather was pleasant. We had a wonderful time❣️“

“Omg the BEST Restaurant ? I've been to other Gringos and wasn't happy and waiting all the time. The waiter was Awesome and made sure my Family and I was taken care of! The service was great on Sunday Evening of February 25th. Drinks were really great I have a new place to eat and enjoy life... The Boss was great he was helping the staff he had and seen that I was trying to order a to go and he came over. Customer service is the best I could ever ask for... They treat people how they wanna be Treated! Thank you and I will return ?“

“I celebrated my birthday with a family member for the first time at Red River Cantina. The food was outstanding! The service was right on. The ambiance was TexMex classic. The ladies bathroom was impeccably clean and well stocked. Our server surprised me with a beautifully and delicious complimentary Sopapillas with cream and a lit birthday candle. Red River Cantina has nothing to envy their competitors. We all know who they are. Red River is our new restaurant for delicious and reasonably priced TexMex dining! Next on our list is their BBQ restaurant! Can't wait!“

“I ordered barbacoa tacos, two flour and two corn... have not tried the flour ones but the corn están bien ricooos! I missed the cilantro and cebolla but is all good, I was lazy to go back, and the flavor was already tasty! I will go back and try the quesa birrias!“

“The food is so good here! The margarita’s are on point! The fajita’s are so good! Best kept secret in the area!!“

“Yesterday was the third time I've visited the restaurant with my parents while I was in town. The breakfast is good (the restaurant's house hot sauce is excellent and made an already tasty breakfast taco delicious), and the service is good too, despite being slammed every time I am there. My only complaint is that the restaurant is SO noisy. Yesterday both my mom and myself were experiencing sensory issues with the noise level. Other than that, it's a good local spot.“

“Always great food, always see family and friends there…. Great family business“

“This is one of my favorite spots pre-Covid!Since then their prices for fajitas for 2 have sky rocketed. Used to be $50 bucks now you’ll be at $75. Just a heads up, so there isn’t any surprises.It’s still one of the best flavor local spots. Just don’t visit it quite as often anymore.The service is typically good, but some servers excel more than others. I’d suggest staying away from the bar sitting area if your not ordering drinks.The queso flamado is my favorite appetizer. Highly recommended for any cheese lovers out there.The fajitas for 2 is our go to, comes with everything you need. Rice, beans, tortillas, cheese, salsa, avocado, lettuce, grilled onions, bell peppers, etc. You can do a mix of chicken and fajitas if you like. We typically add the bacon wrapped shrimp to ours.If you like it quite, avoid the prime time hours. Or ask to sit outside or the back inside. Inside tends to get rather noisy.Wait times aren’t normally to bad.“

“Ordered pickup on the app and for some reason got charged twice and kept getting a strange error. After calling the Baybrook location, the person who originally answered the phone was extremely nice and passed me along to the manager (Manny). Manny was also very helpful, polite, and helped work through the problem. Considering what would be an irritating situation, they made it as pleasant and smooth as possible.I've been going to that Torchy’s location (amongst others) for years for the delicious and consistent food, but the service is what will keep me going back long-term. Keep on keeping on team Torchys!“

“Our favorite Mexican Restaurant!! The food is ALWAYS excellent; always served promptly, it is always fresh & hot. Portions are quite generous. They have the best salsa IN THE WORLD. I could practically live on it. The chips are thin, crispy, & served warm. The wait staff is always pleasant- indicating Chuy's also must be a good place to work. We love many items on the menu, but my favorites are the soft shrimp tacos & the chicken tortilla soup. My husband loves the chicken enchiladas & chimichangas. I wasn't kidding when I said it is our favorite restaurant. Their music is sort of loud, but they happily adjust it, if you mention it. The decor is just fun! Love it there! Thank you, Chuy's!!!“

“We’ve been here numerous times and enjoy the experience every single time!! Truly a great place for food, atmosphere, great service and just the best overall“

“The waiter Huber basically told us what not to order. NOTE When you come to this location bring your own silverware, we had to share a knife among 3 people. The enchiladas & steak, more like a slice of brisket drenched in a salty cheese sauce. Awful!! The beef enchilada, unflavored ground meat, again drenched in a red sauce WITH cheese. Cancun tilapia again with cheese and 8 tiny cocktail shrimp - no garlic sauce The plate was hot but not the food. At 8ish on a saturday night they only had 3 or 4 tables, no more than 12 people, including us 3 If they were starting to close for the day, they should've close the area they were cleaning. I don't appreciate smelling 'Fabuloso" while I'm eating with the mop bucket next to my table. Really your motto should be "Why are you still in business..." Marked as 1st and last on places not to visit. Overpriced for the food quality“

“Edited: My wife and I love to come to this Casa Ole which has a great Tex-Mex environment, wonderful servers, and a nice family setting. The food is served fresh and hot, and the Fajitas are a great choice. We have been coming to Casa Ole locations across SE Texas for many years. This Casa Ole is near our Granddaughter, Son and Daughter in Law's house, and is very easy to spot when you are driving either direction on FM 518 / Broadway just west of Pearland Parkway. It is near Discount Tire and the big HEB at the corner. Highly Recommended.Parking: Plenty of Parking Spots in front and along the side and plenty of ADA spots if needed.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking is WC accessible and enough room to move around inside.“

“We reserved the back corner at Las Flores for my 75th birthday party. Around 20 of my children and grandchildren attended. Everyone was well attended to and all were happy with the menu and their food. We shared some birthday cake with the staff. I like giving my business to locally owned places instead of the big corporations because I feel that they care more.Kid-friendliness: We were in the far back corner close to the restrooms and out of view of most of the main dining room so the kids would not be annoying to other guests.“

“Good food for a decent price. This was the lunch quesadilla plate.“

“We are very lucky to have this location in the suburbs. The staff are always welcoming and checking in on us to make sure we are good. They really do fill your tacos here. They also put the sauce on your tacos, which we didn’t really mind. If you prefer to have your sauce on the side, I would specify it here! It is located in the corner of the plaza on a busy intersection, so traffic getting in/out may be a tad bit hard. Otherwise, there is plenty of parking here!“

“Love this place, its a local spot. I mostly always get take out here? Chips and queso. But i find that the food here is pretty good. The place is a little old and outdated i feel like, but they do have good food. The bar atmosphere is fun. We have met all kinds of interesting people here.“

“Tara and CeCe are the best! I eat here almost every week. Their hospitality is great! Always helpful, always smiling. One of the best places around! Marcus Allen“

“We stumbled across this resaurant and have been back several times. Sandra and Edgar have been our servers and they are very helpful and enjoyable. The food was wonderful and consistent on every visit. My husband has celiac disease and must be gluten free. He can have many options here that we don't get other places. We will keep going back!“

“Loved this place. I was welcomed in by the hostess emely and angel (very beautiful eyes by the way) smile on their face was a plus for me then greeted at the bar by servers gaby and lina wonderful people funny and lots of character I will be coming back. Thank u Martinez bar for a good time!“

“Great food for more than 20 years for me“
