50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Houston

“Fantastic Sunday brunch! The buffet is well stocked with a big variety of hot and cold foods, and with many vegetarian options too. The taquitos and molé were delicious. The dessert bar was amazing too, so many different options and everything was bite sized so it's easy to sample many things. the mini churros and hot chocolate were my favorite.“

“I was there on 5/13 with family to celebrate my birthday. service was excellent and food was good as usual. The big disappointment was finding out they don't have the crab and spinach enchiladas anymore, IMO that was the best dish they had.“

“Everytime I come here, it's a pleasant and TASTY experience. Probably some of my favorite street corn in this part of Houston - it's worth every penny in my opinion.Coffee is also done well. I'll keep coming back like I do. ?⭐“

“Post HTX food hall location. They usually keep a long line but moves it pretty fast. I got their Fuego fries with birria and it was delicious! The fries were nice and crispy and seasoned, and the meat was good as well. This is probably my new favorite dish with them.“

“I have to say the tacos in the food were delicious everything. I don't think anyone will complain on something that's has flavor. I'm thinking if this place has a long line. It's popular because of the good tasting food. They should do something about speeding up the line. But I guess Management has not thought about that. Has your business growth and it has more in more people coming. You should make plans to make the kitchen area larger with the buffet section larger. So you can have 2 extra servers. I'm assuming they made it investment in the parking lot next door which is huge and full of cars. Trust me this place is making money. Not complaining about the price, but this is not a dollar tacos. Those days are over. This location, and one Laredo on Patton Street street are making money. It would help if it also had a larger restroom to accommodate more than one person. It's a business not a home. I hope management reads this. And will maybe answer the review“

“I rarely leave reviews. I am visiting Houston and after much exhausting research I decided to try some tacos before I leave. I'm so glad a random comment made me look this place up and to my pleasant surprise they were on Uber Eats. The food came quickly, fresh and hot. These were the best tacos I've ever had! Flavorful, not salty, not fatty and tender pieces of beef! My only regret is not ordering two orders!“

“Phenomenal food, the taste is definitely superb. It is filling and even after eating, you can wait to come back to eat again. 10 out of 10 recommended and will tell everyone I know to come here. Service was the best and makes you feel at home. Amazing dining area, love the decor, it is hilarious and just adds to the experience.“

“The restaurant is beautiful. We went for the mariscos soup, and it did not disappoint. Anita, our waitress, was great and super accommodating. Already recommended to our friends and will definitely return.Dietary restrictions: Alcohol free options“

“I liked the food (the trompo tacos) they won't be the best I've ever eaten but they are good, they are worth trying, logically there are more dishes and they look delicious but since it was the first time I eat there I only speak for the tacos So far, the service is very good or at least the waitress who served me gave her best, she deserves a 10, and the place is not luxurious but at least it is a very comfortable place to eat (you feel very comfortable) yes I recommend it“

“This is a fantastic spot for tacos in Downtown Houston. The al pastor and chicken tacos were so good that I returned a second time to get tacos to take home with me to Maryland. As a California native, I’m quite particular about Mexican food - tacos specifically - and these are incredibly legit. Not pictured are the charro beans which were absolutely incredible. I’m in Houston multiple times per year due to family, and look forward to visiting this place again and again.“

“Well birria tacos are all the rage right now and if I were you I’d go get my fill here! The tacos are full of meat, served with onions, cilantro, and lime. The consommé sauce is perfect. Pair it with an agua fresca preparada. I ordered the cucumber lemonade, my favorite.“

“One of the best mexican hole in the walls ive been in since arriving in Houston. Have tried many places but none compare to this place. Great warm service and great food to accompany it. The breakfast tacos are too die for and heavily reccomend in the morning with a side of their delicious coffee. Will definitly be coming back for the foreseeable future.“

“Living at Aris for the past two years has truly been an exceptional experience. From the warm welcome of champagne in the lobby to the thoughtful gesture of breakfast before starting the day, the attention to detail here is unparalleled. I am consistently impressed by the swift and efficient handling of deliveries and everyday needs, thanks in large part to the exceptional service provided by our dedicated concierge team, Rotlhe and Richard. Additionally, Marlene made the move-in process an absolute breeze, adding to the seamless experience of settling into this wonderful community.The convenience of living at Aris extends beyond the walls of our apartments. With an array of restaurants within close proximity and breathtaking views from my own apartment, every aspect of daily life here feels like a dream. What truly sets Aris apart and keeps me eagerly renewing my lease year after year are the engaging resident events and the genuine friendliness of the staff. It's not just a place to live; it's a true community where residents are valued and cared for. I couldn't imagine calling anywhere else home. Simply put, I love it here!“

“This place is great. Good prices, very generous with how much they give you of everything, and all the food is seasoned well. If you have any special requests, like things being put on the side and such so that you can take the food home, they take care of it well with no fuss ?? I believe most of the staff are bilingual in both Spanish and English, so that's a nice bonus for a lot of people in this community. I have been back and will be back soon ;)The picture attached has nachos with barbacoa and all the various toppings they give you with the order.“

“this was my first time ever trying their food and I’m impressed on their quick service and how delicious the food is. I had the pineapple agua Fresca and it is flavorful and yummy! They were really sweet and even gave us a sample to try. I would 100% recommend if you are craving tacos! This will hit the spot for you! I definitely will be back“

“Dining at Ambriza was a delight, thanks to Maria's exceptional service. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making our experience truly memorable. The food was outstanding, with every dish expertly prepared. Highly recommend for both the cuisine and service.“

“We saw this restaurant in social media and wanted to come check it out. It did not disappoint!! I had the delicious chilaquiles and it came with homemade chips! We also ordered the Jorge plate with spicy pork tamales covered with eggs and side of beans and potatoes. It was another excellent choice.The Tamale joint is very clean, comfortable and amazing customer service from Jorge the Manager! He was so kind, helpful and enthusiastic! We will definitely come back soon to try the enchiladas!“

“WOW! I have been away from Houston for two years and as soon as my plane landed, I came straight here! This place satisfied my taco cravings! Delicious food, fast service and fun atmosphere I can’t wait to come back and try other things!Parking: Small parking lot, when it’s busy can be difficult to get a spot.“

“Best damn grilled oysters I have ever had!! Ceviche ? Sooo good. I love the homemade blue corn tortilla chips as well! .. also not sure the name.. but ask for the tuna roll on a cracker... my gf ordered it for me and it was ahmazingggg!!! :)“

“I was craving Mexican food and found Angie's on a Spring Branch google search. It was awesome.. the restaurant is colorful and quaint. The service was friendly and fast. I ordered the beef guisado plate and an order of chips and green salsa. The meat was so tender and flavorful, the corn tortillas were pillowy and fresh. I tried to save some for later but I ate every morsel. I spent $20 bucksI WILL BE BACK SOON!“

“LOVEEEEEE this spot. They are so friendly and welcoming. The food is so dang good and the pricing is very reasonable. The fried chicken, smoked turkey, Mac n cheese, greens, and yams are my favorite. ALSO, they have the best peach cobbler I have ever had at a restaurant period.“

“Carnitas are delicious as they say, they have years of experience cooking them. Their barbacoa, unfortunately did not met our expectations but, doesn't mean it's bad, you can try it and be the judge. I Highly recommend this place for carnitas. Owner and family are very courteous.“

“This was my first time trying Vegan Mexican food at Veegos and I really enjoyed it!They sell plant-based versions of all the classic Mexican foods, from tacos, to burritos and nachos, and more! They have various options for protein meat-substitutes, including jackfruit, pastor, and soy-rizo and potatoes, with my favorite being the spicy soyrizo and potatoes. My favorite item that I tried was the Cashew Cheese Nachos (first time trying vegan cheese as well), which come in a HUGE portion and can easily be shared or multiple meals. Here’s what I ordered:-Nachos (Cashew Cheese with Spicy Soyrizo and Potatoes) $17-Taco plate with Pastor $14-Enchilada Plate with Jackfruit $13I am not sure if it’s the healthiest food but it was definitely good ?“

“Some of the best breakfast tacos I have ever had. The service was quick even though the line was long. We might have stood in line for 7-10 minutes. Good variety of tacos. I ate 5 but I for sure could have eaten another 5. And all the salsas are good!“

“Very delicious food, I congratulate the kitchen team who do an incredible job, the taste of home cooking, the chicken, the rice, the beans, very good recipes, very good flavor, congratulations for that great kitchen team... and the dishes are very good“

“This place is a hidden gem. Margaritas are top notch. The food is good but spicy. The chips and salsa are good. I only stay a few blocks away and never knew this place was here. There was no one here on a Wednesday at 7 pm. Unreal. Maybe no one knows about them.The spicy food could be an issue for some people but maybe it was the salsa I was using. Xiomaro was my waitress. She only speaks Spanish but someone else was able to translate for me.Give this place a try!“

“This is one of my go to happy taco spots. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly, and the owner Ricardo makes taco dreams come true. Whether you are up for an all day breakfast taco, pastor, or barbacoa, you can get that here - along with some delightfully spicy salsas. Additionally, Jonathan makes a solid coffee; an oat milk latte hits the spot!Vegetarian options: Breakfast tacos, beans and rice, guacamole and chips, quesadillas, nachos, tortas.Dietary restrictions: They offer hearty tacos, mostly meaty, except the breakfast options. Might be more challenging if you are a strict vegan.Parking: If the parking lot in front is full, go for street parking around the corner.“

“Tropical Zone is a must try!!! las aguas frescoes were DELICIOUS watermelon water, and cucumber with lemon ?, strawberries with cream my toddler enjoyed very much ? and the mangonada with the fruit toppings on top was so cute and tastyAlso they have so much variety hereAll cravings are fulfilled!!“

“Every time I can to the restaurant at Woodway location is a total delight, everyone is so attentiveJosé Santibañez always greets me with a very kind smile, Asahi was my server, and they all make us feel always so welcome!!Food is ALWAYS GREAT! it's always clean, the atmosphere is so calm and enjoyable every time!!“

“Had a wonderful lunch and was kindly taken care of by Ricardo, our server. My husband and I shared the tacos de chicharron, esquites, and I personally had the tacos de pescado al pastor. This place will definitely turn into my new Spring Branch favorite. I have been to the Sharpstown location one but this new location is very nice! I don’t drink alcohol but the drink selection looks really nice too.“

“An excellent place to indulge the exquisite palate of Mexican food. A soup known as Posole Verde, is a moderately spicy chicken soup with slices of avocado. I met chef Hugo, a man with a great culinary career. Possessor of prestige at the Houston level. Its restaurants are highly recognized in haute cuisine magazines. Super recommended.“

“Everything has been so great I love the service. The food is stupid good. Victor the bartender server was in charge of our table and his service was impeccable! Make sure to order the brussels sprouts!! They are so so great Cyclone Anayas has some of the greatest tex mex food I have ever had.“

“First time trying this place out. It’s a small location but the food is tasty and authentic. The house specialty is the birria and it’s yummy. The charro beans they bring with your chips and salsa are delicious. I had an horchata and it’s fresh made. I definitely recommend this place. Will for sure be coming back.“

“Excellent food, if you are looking for the most similar flavor to Mexico City, this is the right place.The service is very good, when you place your order they give you your chips with salsa while you wait for your order.The pressed pork rinds are very tasty.They rest Monday and Tuesday“

“Wow. Great food, excellent service & good prices - all under the same roof. Why did I take so long to discover this gem? Andy's crew took good care of us during my first visit. Kudos to Kinley for reviewing the menu & providing several great recommendations! I was very happy with the Spicy Korean Chicken Fried Rice - but I gotta try that Spreggroll next time. Our table also enjoyed the loaded Aioli Fries, the Honey Spinach Tofu Zoodle & one of the yakisobas. All selections were tasty; all portions were generous; all prices were reasonable. Piper & Kinley checked on us regularly to ensure our enjoyment. Don't wait like I did. Highly recommended!!“

“We try them last time at Enchanted garden and the food are amazing . The lady who took order at the front so nice and friendly . My kid did enjoy their beef quesadilla a lot , she said that the best quesadilla ever she had and I am totally agree. I did try all the meat for tacos but beef and lengua is my favorite . Will stop by to visit them soon at their taco station . Good job guys !#besttaco #bestquesadila“

“I've been coming to La Calle since they opened. The service is incredibly slow when they are busy (think Walmart during Christmas season with only 2 registers open). Unfortunately, you have to know when to come. All that aside, the food is worth the wait at least once. I've eaten at the bar, I've dined in with my family, and I've ordered to go as well.“

“The food here is delicious! The staff is so sweet and attentive. It's a super tiny space, but they do also have a couple of tables for outdoor seating as well. Me and Pops loved the food and we have been here a couple of times! If you're looking for a quality Mexican breakfast made with extra love, this is the spot!“

“After church we were hungry! And Imelda explained the menu. we are stuffed and the meats were really juicy and the sauce were spicy.. good spicy! I ate breakfast tacos (2) and I could not even finished them and my husband ate (5) taquitos, one of each meat and my little one a big azada taco. And the fresh waters !“

“Excellent tacos—fresh, tasty, tender (fajitas and al pastor). At $2.45 per taco, it’s a great deal. Very nice guy cooking in the evening. It’s a taco truck in the parking lot of this 76 gas station, with a shack added on and 2 large picnic tables. I’m sending my friends here, too, who work nearby.“

“Went with my family to eat here and let me just say that Jose N went above and beyond to make our experience the best. Super attentive and friendly and made everything a breeze. Always ask for Jose N!Kid-friendliness: enjoys to play and knowledgeable in how to speak to kids“

“If your unsure what to get id suggest the mixta plate but be specific that it's the tacos one I've had a mix up and they thought I meant the papa one but it's understandable since I did order over the phone so they probably misheard me“

“I was craving some tacos and just moved to the area. I noticed there are few taco trucks around and decided to try one out. Glad I chose Tacos Diana! The corn tacos were AMAZING! It was fast! It was fresh! The salsa selection is A-1. Service was great. You order and they’ll bring it to your car packaged up and ready to eat immediately. Oh! For the salsa…When they say spicy they mean SPICY ?️ so beware. I will definitely be back! 10/10“

“Owners were so welcoming not to mention the food was delicious, made to order, and reasonably priced compared to what other birria places are charging. As well they gifted us a Mexican Coke as a welcome treat for being first time customers there! Lovely family owned stand and will definitely be back for more!“

“First time at the underground food hall and it did not disappoint! The food came out quick and fresh as can be. I will definitely be back and will be recommending to my friends and family to try out! Tacos, quesadillas, plantains, and churros were a hit! Can’t leave out the in house hibiscus juice?“

“The people operating the food truck were kind and it took roughly a bit over 5 mins to get my food after ordering. This is a to-go place, there are no tables or seats to sit and enjoy your meal. I didn't have any issues parking on a Saturday morning. I tried their breakfast tacos and they were good but I don't think the flour tortilla was homemade. Not a deal breaker for me but it was missing that extra touch. However, the tacos were at a great price point, I spent ~$15 for six of them. I would consider them again if I'm hungry near EaDo.“

“I decided come by and try Mi Tierra as it is around the corner from my office in the up and coming Oak Forest neighborhood. When you first walk in you are greeted by very friendly staff. There were a few other tables enjoying their meals already, but was able to be sat with my party right away. We ordered the "award winning" tacos al pastor as well as the mahi mahi fish taco's. Both were great choices. Light and refreshing the perfect amount of taste. Paired with Mi Tierra margarita. The meal was satisfying. I wish I would have come in sooner. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.“

“Miguel is a legend. Quick service with a smile and a joke, not to mention great recommendations. Will definitely be coming back to the Cyclone Anaya’s on shepherd because of him. Much thanks to the chefs as well, carne asada was absurdly good!“
