45 Best Mexican Restaurants in Cypress

“I live close to this place but have avoided it because I thought the food would taste like any other commercial big chain but boy was I wrong this place is a hidden treasure I cannot believe it took us so long to try them the food is excellent love the plantains , chicken everything . It will be our to go place now .“

“The food is so good, very authentic and love that everything is made fresh, including the corn and flour tortillas. Their salsa comes in mild or spicy and is served warm. The staff makes you feel right at home.“

“Not our normal go to for Mexican food, but I like to try different places. My wife got a new job, so while the kids were at school, we had a little celebration lunch. Service was a little slow for only a few others in there, I had to flag our waitress to order and again to get our check, but overall not bad, food came out really fast. My wife had cheese enchilada with rice and beans. I had the (3) tacos lunch with two hard and one soft taco. Chips and dip were pretty good, red salsa would be better if it was warm. Both are meals were very good, fresh and delicious and we had a small take-out left over. Located less than a 1/2 mile off I-290 beside the Krogers, pretty easy access for travelers.“

“Great food and strong drinks. Probably my favorite Mexican restaurant!! Love the family atmosphere here too“

“We recently visited the newly opened Carmelita’s Kitchen in Cypress, and it quickly became a favorite! From the moment we stepped onto the cozy patio, we loved the inviting and charming atmosphere. Inside, the décor is well thought out, creating a warm and welcoming vibe.

Our server, Ana, was incredibly attentive and polite throughout the meal. We started with coffee and a delicious tray of shrimp taquitos — a perfect appetizer. The brunch menu is impressive, and we decided to try the chilaquiles and Baja tacos. Both dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely flavorful. Each bite was a treat — well-prepared without being overdone.

For those who enjoy spicy flavors, their salsas pack a great kick! We can’t wait to return and try more dishes and the cocktails. We highly recommend our Cypress neighbors to check out this little gem — it’s definitely worth a visit!“

“The barría taco is absolutely to die for. The other tacos were good. But wow. Super juicy, not too spicy but very flavorful crispy-ish tortilla then dip it in the sauce? Oh man slap yo momma good. Everything tasted fresh and the beans were stand alone perfect. Strawberry lemonade Agua fresca was a great pairing. This will definitely be a return spot for the next taco crawl.“

“Delicious! Love their happy hour. Such a great value for drinks and delicious food.“

“Very good and fresh food!!! Have been eating there for years and will continue. Would highly recommend to my friends.“

“My wife and I ate there this afternoon and the food was excellent, service was prompt and attentive. It is a great family atmosphere with a variety of music playing with a colorful atmosphere. I mentioned to the Manager on the way out that the only thing missing was real Salt and Pepper Shakers. Fast food places use the little packets but a nice place like Rudy’s should IMHO have the real thing. We will come again and have a nice meal and a drink and will look forward to using their new Salt & Pepper Shakers!“

“always friendly, consistent and delicious. perfect little neighborhood eatery.“

“Thank you Markus, tonight it was my husbands birthday and you killed it ..❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼“

“Since im a fan of taco trucks, I tried this one recently. The tacos were definitely on the much smaller side for the price but meat was delicious. I also got their hot sauces and spicy onions. I also ordered the chicken torta which I was not a fan of. Not sure but maybe it was the creamy cheese it in. Bread was good but overall it was very average.
They have nice picnic benches in a covered area which was great. Service was friendly and the lady taking orders understood English very well.
The food truck is in a parking lot so parking is mostly not an issue.“

“Great little gem of a restaurant. I stopped by on a whim. It's a small little restaurant, but the food is properly seasoned and delicious. Very courteous staff. I had the quesabirrias. Good menu selection and modestly priced. I'll definitely be coming back.“

“Great Restaurant- super top notch attentive service and amazing food! Chicken Mole is the best in the world...“

“Everything it’s all delicious“

“Nice experience here food r yummy test good 👍“

“Best new restaurant in Cypress... Ta' Bueno Mexican Kitchen is fantastic and legit! (menu pics included at the end). Three of us chose dishes from the Street Foods section of the menu. I went with the Las Quekas - Lightly toasted blue corn tortillas filled with al pastor pork meat and cheese. Served with a side of charro beans, grilled onions, pico de gallo and salsa. We were off to a great start, it was all really good, even the charro beans were awesome. My son went with the Tacos de Birria - Tough cuts of beef meat are cooked until tender and juicy with flavorful chilies and Mexican spices. Served with pico de gallo on a lightly toasted corn tortillas and cheese, side of consomme, grilled onions and salsa. Pretty stellar stuff! My friend chose Pambazo - Pambazo is a Mexican dish or antojito made with pambazo bread dipped and fried in a red guajillo pepper sauce and filled with papas con chorizo, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and queso fresco. I had a bite and loved it as much as she did. My other friend had the Shrimp Tacos - 2 soft hand-made corn tortillas filled with grilled shrimp, shredded cabbage and chipotle creamy sauce. Served with black beans. We all agreed that this place is quite wonderful! We also had a Michelada with Modelo Especial and I had a house frozen margarita (the margarita are wine based or mpact) but still pretty good. Dessert, was some of the best flan I had in a long time. Perfect texture and flavor. We all definitely want to go back and try more, the flavor profiles are phenomenal here. Excellent warm sala made with fresh tomatoes. Thank you to Keri Ford and Ann Ford for recommending this place.“

“excellent service, cleanliness and friendly family atmosphere, exquisite food and excellent treatment of Light excellent service, cleanliness and friendly family atmosphere, exquisite food and excellent treatment of Luz Elena..thank you so much“

“Food is good but you’re going to pay a premium. $12 for 5 small tacos is not your usual food truck prices. However they’re really good.

It’s close to home so when I’m lazy and want some good food I come here.

I’ve tried pretty much all of their menu and you can’t really go wrong with anything.

My favorite item is the Gordita. They let the cheese melt inside with the meat and not everyone does that. It makes it a 10/10.

They do sell out of some items so you might not find what you’re looking for at certain times.

The salsas are delicious and I always ask for extra because I put about one whole container per taco.“

“Will definitely be back with the family!“

“Don't be swayed by the fact that they're located in a gas station. This food is the truth. I got a carnitas burrito that rivals my abuelita's. Also, they added avocado and didn't charge me extra. I repeat, they did not upcharge for avocado! Suck on that Chipotle.“

“By far my favorite taqueria, and I mean it!! The owners are very friendly, and make sure to bring your food out as fast as possible, which is a true godsend honestly. I absolutely love their variety of foods, but I have to stick with my favorite, the quesadilla. Trust me, it will not disappoint!“

“We love this place, the food is always delicious and the staff is incredible! We see a lot of our friends there because it’s right in our neighborhood! Great margaritas also!“

“This is not our first trip to Gringo’s but it was the best trip yet. We ordered drinks at the bar to wait for our table. We get in line through the Tex-Mex insider app and it saves us time from having to wait. We wanted an outside table as it was gorgeous outside as fall has finally come to Texas. We were seated and Anthony was our server. He was attentive, personable and friendly. He was great about checking on us every few minutes. We ordered the shrimp empanadas as an appetizer. They were as delicious as usual. We were not in a hurry and we never felt rushed. We were content enjoying college football on the numerous screens around the bar. We ordered beef skirt fajitas and they did not disappoint. We will definitely be back and will request Anthony if he is available.“

“I try there tamales and that was great ! El charro has the best Tex Mex food . Thank you“

“Every single thing about La Maria is beyond awesome !!!“

“Sencillamente delicioso…. Imperdible.“

“We love this place but with new management lately it seems to be going downhill. Also, fix the AC, it’s insanely hot 🥵. We miss how it was a couple years ago.“

“Great Customer service! Amazing food! Everything was so delicious. The oysters 🦪 were fresh! And the Flan 🍮 was the best we ever had. We will definitely go again.“

“Sunday afternoon and ready to catch up with an old friend and watch some football. The staff at El Jimador was not only attentive but fun to be around, great food and great service, not to mention, making great Mojitos! Thank you, as always, for taking care of us!“

“Was hungry for a Mexican breakfast and the Chilaquiles plate did not disappoint. It has chilaquiles in salsa verde with crema and queso fresco cheese, beans, eggs, and fajita. Everything was very well seasoned. My husband had a big breakfast burrito. You definitely have to try it. They also had a busy drive thru while I was there.“

“We have been on the hunt for the perfect breakfast taco since moving to the area in 2019. One would think that would be an easy task to complete, however until El Rincon joined the neighborhood, we were always on the hunt for better. El Rincon’s tortillas are soft and chewy, the perfect vessel for my egg, bean and cheese that nobody else can ever get “just right.” Not to mention, the green salsa is a great addition to anything! Made fast, hot, and fresh to your order, we frequent almost every weekend. Highly advise giving this family run business a try!“

“We really enjoyed ourselves, they recommend our meal & we tried it & it was good, there award winning queso was delicious, I forgot the name of the meal we got but it came with chicken, fajita & refried beans with taco fillings to make our own tacos it was delicious, would love to come back“

“I've gone to place a couple of times now. I just have to say it's an amazing place. Everytime I go, I try new items and it's never fails to taste amazing and becomes a new favorite. The atmosphere is awesome, and the staff is kind, friendly, and welcoming. I cannot recommend this place enough.“

“The staff and food are both amazing. We will definitely come back again“

“Muy rico todo. Excelente lugar🥰“

“My all time favorite breakfast tacos on the planet. Seriously! The chorizo and egg is sooooo good! The owners are so sweet and ALWAYS get the order right! They make their own salsa. My fave is the green but both are delicious. Spicy and flavorful. 5 stars isn’t enough!!!!!!“

“Excelente 👌 servicio y muy rica la comida“

“Love this place me and my wife have been going here for almost 3 years, no where in Houston can anyone top Maria’s quesadilla😎😎 Anytime I’m away from home I miss this place, if you’re in doubt just grab a quesadilla seriously… She’s open late always good, you can’t rush perfection, I highly recommend and this is basically a restaurant on wheels no body can top this place in Houston, we’ve been everywhere but I MEAN NO BODY HAS ANYTHING ON THEM!!!“

“Most excellent servie... Natali and others were super.. excellent food“

“I like the place, it has seating inside and patio. Bars available on both sides as well. Service is good, it gets busier later at night when they have dj or live music. Parking is enough. One less star for consistency on drinks, they were ok some weak some strong. Maybe bartenders need a little more training/practice. Food choices are limited but is a bar mainly. I will visit again to see if they have improved.“
