March 4, 20214 yr i like Alicia's. however i am a green sauce addict and their shit is delicious.Alicia’s is pretty solid. Used to my parent’s go-to for several years. And while not far in Houston terms, I wish there was something right by JV. Or I should just move. Fucking hate Houston right now.

Fucking hate Houston right now. Natalita’s right at 290 and Jones road is pretty solid. It’s better than Los Cucos, imo.

March 6, 20214 yr When I lived in spring branch we’d pick up from fajita Pete’s every so often if we wanted good fajitas for a pretty cheap price. It sounds like you live near that areas, memorial-ish? Moved over to oak forest area but I still love Goode Co Cantina, although that’s definitely gringo fare. Chavez on Gessner was my go-to place for inexpensive Mexican when we lived over there though.
March 7, 20214 yr Pistolero's was kind of disappointing. Very small fajita portion, even for $11.95. Outstanding tortilla soup and $4 margaritas ain't bad though.
March 7, 20214 yr I miss going weekly to the buffet at Casa Olé off Hwy 6 in Alvin. The most authentic and delicious Tex-Mex across the board.

March 18, 20214 yr Author Chavez, Juarez or El Gallo off Gessner, not too expensive and usually hit the spot

And while not far in Houston terms, I wish there was something right by JV. Or I should just move. Fucking hate Houston right now. My review of Alicia's : - Solid chicken breast and onions (eating carefully right now) - The lunch beef fajitas were terrific. I'd put them up there the original Lupe's on 6. - Great tortillas. Again I'm eating carefully, but I domed those tortillas. - Solid chips and salsa. You have to request green sauce, not ideal. Really good red sauce. - OK house margaritas. Pretty good size, but didn't taste all that good. - I'd skip the beans and rice.
April 20, 20214 yr 37 year fan of Armando's here. Queso Flameado appetizer, rare+ Armando's cut filet, sopapillas for dessert. House margarita for starters and a nice bottle of red with dinner. Guaranteed panty dropper for the wife of 35+ years.

August 18, 20214 yr Taqo on Yale - taco Tuesday special, 3 tacos for $10 (you get canned drink). It was damn good. Tacos were delicious and stuffed. Great margaritas too. Lot of parking. I’ll go back
August 18, 20214 yr Taqo on Yale - taco Tuesday special, 3 tacos for $10 (you get canned drink). It was damn good. Tacos were delicious and stuffed. Great margaritas too. Lot of parking. I’ll go back Hmmm relevant to my interest. Curious about the carnitas, bistec, and brisket barbacoa. Fuck you 3 putt. I am trying to lose weight.
August 18, 20214 yr the barbacoa was most excellent. chips and salsa, get it. we got both red and green sauce. the green had some nice kick chicken pastor too, damn. mexican squash was already sold out

I still think the OG, the beef fajita taco is their best dish. Have them hold the aioli. On a related note, their street corn is splattered with mayo, so you might want to hold the mayo as well on that dish. Great restaurant in a great spot. The lady that owns it had a really good/expensive Mexican restaurant on North Main. It went under, but the food was good. I'm happy she landed on her feet.
August 19, 20214 yr An expensive Mexican restaurant on N. Main sounds like a bad idea. There are too many cheap places with quality food to eat in that area. Cantina Barba is solid.

August 20, 20214 yr I dont like Taqo. I dislike their tortillas, and trying to be a “healthy” taco joint doesnt resonate with me. There are a shit ton of solid tex mex/taco places in the heights that are cheaper also. Taqo has the most expensive tacos in the greater heights area iirc but to each their own. That being said, I love Barba, TJs, and Pnche. Taco stand also better in quality but I think its a little pricier than Pnche and barba

August 23, 20214 yr SPanish Village was said to be closing, and based on the shit they served me the last time i was there i couldn't argue with it. Apparently an ivestor came in, bought it and will keep it going. Anyone been? Re-launched 8/1. I haven't had the courage to try it yet. Back in the day the enchiladas a la taylor was about as good as it could get.
