I just wrote a previous review in reference to ordering a frozen margarita and the margarita machine not being turned on. What bartender does not turn on the margarita machine when opening their bar. Although the food was excellent, the service was superb. Just wanted to be able to add the photos of the food that we ordered because it was exceptional.

Delicious Menudo, Barbacoa, Pozole, Chilaquiles, Made to order Omelets, Pancakes and Waffles, Aguas Frescas, Cafe De Olla & Pan Dulce were a Big Plus!!! DEFINITELY GOING BACK SOON, IT IS WORTH THE 5O MIN DRIVE 😍

This was our first time here. The food was great. The service was excellent. No complaints from us. I had the Stuffed Avocado. I have never had this before, and it was delicious. We had a margarita and my wife had something. I forgot what it was called but I posted a picture, and she liked it! We recommend this place.

This place was pretty awesome! The food was delicious, dessert not so much (that’s why it lost a star & prices a lil too high for me). For starters, Chips and salsa were on point. We ordered the guacamole as an appetizer and it was definitely a 10/10. Chunky and spicy! Loved it. My plate was the Chicken diablo I believe (pictured below) and it was a lil over $22, which to me was a lil high for the amount of food I got. Beans & rice were good, but definitely could’ve been better for that price. The chicken wrapped with bacon was juicy and delicious. Probably my fave part of the meal. Here is where the real disaster came in: For dessert we each got a tres leeches cake and agreed that it had an odd bitter flavor to it. It wasn’t the rich sweet flavor I’m used to. I was told it had “vino” in it which was upsetting considering I take drug/alcohol tests randomly and had one an hour after this. Luckily I came out clean but that could’ve been a disaster!!! I think we should be warned in advance about any alcohol in the food. Common courtesy. Other than the over priced food and bitter cake, I did enjoy it. Luckily I wasn’t paying. The staff was nice and friendly/funny and the restaurant itself was clean and aesthetic. I’d come back, on someone else’s dollar and get a different dessert!

Decided to go have a Sunday afternoon lunch/dinner. We opted to sit in the bar area so we could watch the football game. Once I ordered my frozen margarita, the waiter came back, letting me know that the bartender did not turn on the margarita machine, so there were no frozen margaritas, so I had to order one on the rocks which I do not do all. Decided to move to another part of the dining area because of music was too loud in the bar area. Once we moved over there we could watch the game where we were sitting was a great viewing of the game. The food was exceptional, delicious even. I was very happy with what we were served the waiter was excellent. My only complaint is what bartender does not turn on the margarita machine when he opens his bar that kind of shocked me because of that I’ll give our experience with El Bosque four stars because the food was great.

I took my mom in for a late evening meal. It was my first time in over 20 years and I remember that it had excellent food. I was not disappointed this time. We were seated immediately and staff was eager to please. The menu was plentiful and we had a hard time deciding! There is not a lot à la cart, so you will need to choose a meal or order several plates if you can’t decide lol; however, the staff will help you to make the best choice from their menu 😄 the staff seemed like a tight nit group of professionals. Well done! We enjoyed this restaurant and the food a great deal and would recommend it 100% 24/7 ¡Buen Provecho!

Been wanting to come here for years because of the Sunday buffet but was craving queso so .. the red salsa was really good the way I like it thin and full of flavor... The chips were homemade and tasty... If I had any complaint at all it was with the bar because they didn't have an old fashioned. That means either no bitters at a full bar or no mix either way it means no bueno. We ordered the queso with ground beef and it was good. No head and shoulders above the rest but really good so no complaints. I do like when I get the fried chips with it and lo siento but nada aqui. We ordered margaritas, frozen for the lady and on the rocks for me, both were huge and delicious. Since we weren't that hungry and they had Saturday lunch specials it was#1s all around. Taco was good, not great, and queso puff was on par with everywhere else. The cheese enchiladas were excellent and so was the rice and beans. The rice was moist and tasty and the beans were full of flavor. Overall I was impressed but want to see more. Definitely worth the price and I have to commend the wait staff as they were friendly and hard working.

El Bosque Restaurant is a great Tex-Mex place for enchiladas tacos and margaritas. Full-stock bar with premier choices. Staff went out of their way to prepare us “salsa de molcajete” that is not on the menu. Food was good to great. The location of this restaurant is very problematic. I can’t count five different Mexican Restaurants at this location and is perhaps due to poor use of the space and dated infrastructure. While half of the place is freezing cold, the other half is hot as hell. Location itself is very visible to traffic and car count is very high. Good luck keeping up this location alive!

They were friendly and the service was okay. My chicken fajita was dry so they made me a new order, which was nice. However, when it came to my wife ordering the waiter wasn't very informative about the pricing of what she was asking for. Well we got our bill I went WHAT because we didn't know she had to pay for each shrimp she got and the waiter did not inform us of the price even though he told his manager he did.

I've eaten here a handful of times and never had an issue like I did this evening. First off, they don't light the queso flameado on fire. I mean... it's in the name. The cheese enchiladas were not visually pleasing and i couldn't even cut the first bite with a knife. The other dish was a steak burrito. They ate their meal but had tummy issues when we got home. They did comp the enchiladas. I'm honestly not sure if I'll go back.

Too expensive. The full order nachos are not worth the $19. They are just nachos man. Chips, cheese and meat. How many different ways do you serve the same ingredients for less... Just ridiculous. I'm response: No nachos are with over ten bucks, much less than 15. Give me a break.

Now this is NOT an exaggeration when I inform you that this was the ABSOLUTE WORST restaurant experience my wife and I have ever encountered. We have had bad experiences, but this was by far the WORST. We didn't just receive TERRIBLE SERVICE. WE WERE ABUSED!!! We went on a Monday and the restaurant was not busy. The one lady wearing white was constantly playing on her phone. The ENTIRE wait staff, despite the restaurant not being busy, was simply VERY LAZY!!! We started off with a who called himself Rambo, then with no explanation the LAZY LADY in the white shirt who was constantly playing with her phone. This is a very RUDE practice especially since the guy calling himself Rambo wasn't finishing his shift. We asked several times for MORE SALSA and it finally showed up after repeated complaints. We didn't even get drink refills after repeat complaints, finally the ALSO LAZY manager in a brown shirt came by with water when we were standing up to leave!!! I told him it was too late for that now. Over and over again, we have experienced SLOW restaurants giving VERY BAD service. But this place took it to a NEW LEVEL of bad.

Got into eating time in downtown conroe. El Bosque is pretty good in Shannandoa, so when we saw this location, we thought it would compare. Ha! Had a jumbo margarita. It was water! Had beef and chicken fajita tostadas. Beef was dried out, chicken wasn't much better. Wife and I both had same. Took all beef home for dog. We'll never go back.
