    Very good food and ambience! We tried spinach enchiladas, grilled mushroom and vegetarian fajitas. Spinach enchiladas was really tasty 😋 and grilled mushroom was very authentic and well made. I also tried virgin Pina colada and loved it ❤️ Highly recommend giving this place a try if you're around the place!

    This is the FIRST 5 star review I have given to a restaurant. THIS is the real deal folks...authentic Mexican food with REAL salsa and the beef fajitas are cooked to perfection... everything is fresh and I tried the quail for the first time and let me tell you PERFECT. Trust me on this one THIS is the real deal. Thank you for a wonderful experience and dining pleasure.

    Was only in Houston for a few days but this was hands down the BEST food I tasted during my stay. We ordered takeout and it was ready sooner than expected and quality was amazing. Enchiladas and the "Reebs" were delicious. Will return when I'm back in the area.

    I love a good Tex-Amex establishment, and my Houston friends said that this was one of the chains that would be excellent. They were correct. As soon as we came, we were placed on the waitlist however we were quickly seated after a short wait. Staff asked if any of us were new to this restaurant. Being the only one not from Houston, I told them I was. The manager of the establishment personally brought us out complimentary skirt steak tacos for being a first-timer here, and these were excellent. Their skirt steak is the real deal! So much flavor, so juicy, and surprisingly tender. We got complimentary chips and salsa and a bean dip. The bean dip is amazing. I could eat this with chips all day as it had spices and cilantro and was super savory yet thin enough to still eat with chips. Being here during their Hatch Chile season, I had to get one of their seasonal dishes that included this. I got the hatch barbacoa tacos - braised beef with a Hatch Chile sauce and queso fresco, all on a corn tortilla. This was breathtaking. The corn tortillas are freshly made in-house, and this is easily my favorite corn tortilla I’ve ever eaten. The corn flavor really permeates throughout the tortilla while being incredibly soft. The beef was braised so well and a generous portion was added to the 2 tacos. And the chile sauce gave a nice tang and decent spiciness to the whole dish. The dish was served with great rice and flavorful beans. I also tried their carne asada which was a huge piece of tender steak. This was so soft that I legitimately was able to use a spoon to cut and eat it. It had such a peppery and smoky flavor to it. Lastly, make sure you get some pepper shrimp brochette. This is shrimp wrapped in bacon and it’s impeccable. You don’t want to miss adding this to any part of your meal. The manager and her staff were so friendly and attentive throughout our meal which we really appreciated. Our drinks were always kept full and we never felt like we were having to wait for anything.

    First time here and this is absolutely the best fajitas and queso I have ever had. Additionally the staff were not only professional but extremely polite. Will be back for sure.

    Absolutely love this place. Their salsa sauce is bomb! So good we keep refilling it. Taco fish is nice and crispy. Tortilla mixed grilled meat is perfect for sharing.

    Jorge was our waiter today. He took excellent care of us. The food was absolutely delicious, as usual. The flautas are top-notch! The beans, chips, and salsa are always fresh and a crowd pleaser. 😋

    Always fun going to Lupe . It’s a unpretentious Mexican restaurant with original Mexican food . The margarita is great and the cheso is great ! This time I had fish tacos and they were delicious.

    The service was great! Super attentive and kind. The food was lacking flavor and just wasn’t good sadly. It needed flavor, salt, and maybe spice? I ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were just ok. The Chile con queso is decent. Overall food is just OK.

    Your Food Truck at Kirby Icehouse is run by an absolute grifter. Just decided to tip himself not only for my order, but my friends as well. Tipped himself twice in a row. Would consider that theft and will be talking to Kirby management about his removal. Probably does it all the time to drunk people patronizing the establishment. Good food though.

    I tried a full rack of Chipotle seasoned pork rib, which was good. All the other dishes look good also. Good mood, good service, and good people.

    The beef fajitas were really great! However, the second batch didn’t have as much flavor to them- seems like marination time wasn’t there. And the queso just isn’t good. It’s just melted cheese to have if you really want. Waitress was really nice

    Good food. Would recommend booking in advance. There was a wait of about 1 hour when we reached. Spent time at bar till out table was ready. Servers were helpful explaining everything in detail. Note that their beans and tortillas have pork in them!

    Star of the meal was the Chips, Salsa & Bean Dip. I couldn't eat the Rice (loaded with chili powder or something). I didn't care for the Braised Beef in the Tacos. Refried Beans were good. I will probably go back and try the Enchiladas.
