    Holy moly that is some seriously good taqueria food! I got the desayuno breakfast plate for lunch and everything was hot and fresh. The salsas were freshly made as well, warm tortilla chips. I am a taqueria breakfast connoisseur and the hot sauces they have here are phenomenal. Top notch, yum! I asked the guy at checkout if they made them and he said yes, they make them fresh daily. Doesn’t get better than this! Can’t wait to go back.

    It was my first time in Houston. Its a very humble place. Very good service. Relaxing environment. The food was delicious. I had a short trip. But will stop by again when ever I am back at the area.

    I must say the food is great and the prices are too. You can’t beat it the closer you get to downtown. We celebrated my aunt’s birthday with a group of 8 of us. They offer delicious desserts and sang my aunt happy birthday.

    Don Rey is my go-to restaurant for delicious Mexican dishes. They serve selections for all meals, including a breakfast menu, and they have a fast-food selection in addition to more substantial meals. Service is friendly and fantastic. Portion sizes are very generous, especially drinks—after a massive cup of Don Rey's delicious coffee, other restaurants' "large" cups look miniscule.

    I’ve come quite a few times now. This place hasn’t won my heart over but if I’m near this location, I will eat there. I ordered a caldo de res (soup of beef) it comes with tortillas (hand made x2) and rice. The tortillas were bomb. The rice has an awesome taste. The soup however felt short. I’ve had this soup about I believe 4 times and every time the soup is different. It isn’t consistent. Like this time I was overloaded with potatoes unlike other times barely any. It didn’t have corn or other veggies. A decent size of meat but too much fat was on it. But overall a nice soup. To drink I had pine apple juice. Not natural which sucked but nonetheless good.

    The Place was ok. I give a number 8 The food was ok. But they can do better. I tried the Fried Tilapia was delicious just the sides the French Fries where not all the way fried, the salad was having a extrange taste , The yellow rice was good, but they missed my Guacamole. So please get better in the sides and preparation. I tried the Shrimp Cocktail 🍸 large but not flavor at all and the size of the Shrimp was like the Maruchan Soup. I give a 5 from 10 they fail so guys you can do better we want flavor and Quality was going on with you. The servers were ok. Nice staff and friendly. So don't eat the Shrimp Cocktail. Get a medium or large Shrimp look a tutorial in You Tube from the Guys from Mazatlan or Sinaloa, Mexico.

    I ordered the enchilada dinner served with rice, beans and salad. The food was very good. My server was very good, and the food was served promptly although the restaurant was busy.

    This is my go to place when I'm in town from Louisiana. At least 3 to 4 times a month. Never a bad ordeal. Food is always on point and plentiful. Not to mention the price is great. Dine in or take out is always great. The service is second to none. Staff is always friendly and welcoming.

    Believe the hype!!! This place is soooooo delicious! The flavors are immaculate. I was trying to find another spot after I had a terrible experience at Los Churros... I am in love with all of it. The service is on point, and from what I see, all servers have been checking on their tables. I came just after breakfast and a rough morning. They definitely hit the spot! I can't wait to come back.

    I have been here several times I know this is going to sound crazy but I love the Green Salsa here and their chip's the service is average nothing to rave about due to the fact that they take to long to get your order out and they rarely come around to see if you need anything else after you are served ,today they had " NO" Social Distancing Why? because Money matters more than people this is obviously a reflection on management , Very irresponsible on his or her part. I now want to rate the food they serve, like I mentioned before Average just like most Mexican food Establishments nothing about this place really stands out I had the shrimp cocktail which was ok plenty of small shrimp inside, the presentation was ok the crackers were stale.. Would I return? Yes only because of the Salsa and like I mentioned it's Average and Average can be found on every Corner street in Houston that has a Mexican restaurant, Would I suggest it to anyone No I would not, unless improvements were made .. Not holding my breath for this to happen, every one has different taste and tolerance levels.. 2 Star's and I'm being generous... Huevos Ranchero's, they don't understand what over easy means in English or Spanish, they practically gave me hard boiled eggs..

    Ate my food to fast and forgot to take pics !! The manager there is always looking out for the customers!! Food is great, prices not bad either !! Whether it’s done in or take out the quality is still the same !! The Green Salsa is the bomb dot com!! Spicy but man I could eat a gallon of this stuff !!!

    I recently visited Don Rey Mexican Restaurant #2, and I have to say, their Chilaquiles Divorciados with fajita and added eggs término medio were a flavor explosion in every bite! The combination of crispy tortillas, savory fajita, and perfectly cooked eggs was an absolute delight for my taste buds. What's even better is that the customer service at this location is on par with their first one. The attentive staff made me feel right at home, and I truly appreciated their friendly approach. The only minor hiccup during my visit was that some of the meat seemed a tad past its use-by date. However, this issue was not widespread and didn't overshadow the overall positive experience. I'll definitely make a note to mention this on my next visit. Don Rey Mexican Restaurant #2 is a must-visit for any Mexican cuisine enthusiast. The Chilaquiles Divorciados are a must-try, and despite the minor meat concern, the overall dining experience was delightful.

    This place has been a great place to me and my family for a very long time. Food is great and the customer service is awesome. Like a little spicy? Try the la mexicana. It’s always a great place to go and enjoy some good food even for a date.

    This is a very good location that is available through a drive thru as well, however prices are a little elevated. The employees are friendly and you can always find good food.

  • 5/5 Martir V. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant's food is not overpriced and my best thing I could say about it is that you can tell that the chef like vest to cook cause this food comes out to perfection.

  • 5/5 Henry Lopez I. 1 year ago on Google
    Very excellent service. The food was very delicious the rice was okay but overall the food was good. My waitress was Yvette and Yvette did very good. She made sure we had everything we needed. If you go ask for yvette.

    I am very impressed with the quality and freshness of ingredients. My expectations were exceeded. This location was within walking distance of the Town Place Suites. There were several restaurants nearby, but we decided to try it based on the menu, as it had something for everyone in the group. The Tex-Mex burrito was portioned well, and the ground beef was probably the best I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant.

  • 4/5 Walter G. 2 years ago on Google
    With me being of mixed ethnicity it’s a common misconception that I understand any other language than English and that’s far from the truth, we got seated and a lady begin speaking Mexican so we didn’t understand her and had to have another waitress which was no big issue, I just think you should have some background in the Mexican language before you come to lessen the headache but all in all the food was delicious and the service was pretty good! I’d highly recommend!

  • 5/5 FORTIFIED G. 2 years ago on Google
    Greeted by freindly staff as soon as we walked in for a lunch date with the Wife & Daughter (3). Asked for drink order and any apps quickly. Our food was out fast and HOT! The Agua de Melón is a favorite.

  • 5/5 Kesha G. 2 years ago on Google
    This was the BEST Mexican Restaurant I have ever been to. The food was delicious fresh and made with love. I also love how clean nice the service was. My husband and I was the only Black people dining in at the time. However we were treated like family.

    I've been going here for years ! This is where my husband and I had our first date, came back to tell the manager we were having a baby and getting married. 3 babies later and we still go, the environment is always happy and welcoming. Best food ever !
