Great food for the price and the servers are very attentive. The fajitas are very tender and flavorful..they hook it up on the fajita tacos. The breakfast is off the chain..take the whole family in
Houston PressAugust 4, 2014This wonderfully festive, colorful and inexpensive neighborhood place has a spacious covered patio, efficient waitstaff and large portions of some of the best Tex-Mex in Houston. Read more
The seafood enchilada is to die for. At $4 on the a la carte menu, you can't beat the amazing cream sauce that covers the shrimp and scallop stuffed enchilada. Two are more than enough to satisfy.
Brandi MorganJuly 6, 2016Everything is great. They have the best fajitas. The fried avocados are delicious. I also recommend the horchata!
Has to be the absolute best Mexican place in Houston. Amazing margaritas and grilled meats. Get their early though as it fills up fast after 5.30pm.
David CAugust 10, 2016Got the el bonny and the la Paola combos. Between them I liked the carnitas and the shredded chicken enchiladas best. The beef and chicken fajitas are also good.
EXCELLENT Mexican food! Tacos are great and a good size for the price. Easily one of the best Mexican restaurants north of the border. \m/
This is probably my favorite they have a spicy seafood dish that is so good. It's called the pescado chiloso I think.
CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 6, 2012Finish on a high note with sopapillas, airy triangle puff pastries that you sweeten according to taste by pouring on honey. Go thick or light—either way, they're delightful with coffee.
Always great food. Been there many times. Tonight we sat in the patio area, fans were blowing - hard and fast. On a hot night it would be welcomed. Tonight's weather was fine. No need for that much ai
The ribs are superb. Get extra sauce on the side. Some of the best ribs in Houston. Almost excuses the horrible service.
Natalie HolsteinMay 18, 2013You will get so much more food than you think you'll get, and it will be awesome.
Shahram MoriSeptember 8, 2012Probably among the top 3 restaurants in Houston. Incredible taste and cheap prices
- Natalie HolsteinMarch 28, 2012Enchiladas del mar are de-licious, and their shrimp tacos are BIG and generous with the shrimp
EaterApril 18, 2013The go-to spot for reasonably priced, always delicious Tex-Mex classics. Both the flour and corn tortillas are always fresh, and the salsa verde is the perfect companion to the chips.
You definitely get what you pay for.. No skimping on the tequila 👍👍👍- Best Tex Mex in the heights. La Silvia or Teotihuacan Burrito, for sure.
Great chile con queso and margaritas. Try the tacos al carbon.
Kaye RussellDecember 26, 2011I agree with John F. - best mexican food in the Heights. Very affordable and delish....
Everything is good here. You can't go wrong. The full order of quesadillas are huge.

Henry's Hungry HoustonDecember 31, 2010Order the sizzling parrillada for two! It's half of what you'd pay at El Tiempo but just as yummy!
Marc MosonOctober 22, 2013I was told the food was great and that I was "way too white" for this place. Right on both counts.
