Best Tacos Al Carbon! Small place, love the live music on Tuesday’s and $1.50 margaritas! Staff always so attentive and warm. Feels like home :)

Always good for the money. Food is hot and flavorful. I live the big cups they give drinks in.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere reminds me of the restaurants in east Houston when I was a kid... very homey feel

Truly authentic Mexican food where after you eat you must go to the cashier in order to pay your order. The atmosphere is full of eclectic items representing Mexico and the staff speaks both English and Spanish.

Simple decor. The restaurant is not fancy, just a good family dining restaurant. Good value with large portions. Loved their refried beans as they have some kick and are not the plain old beans that are boring to me.

Amazing food at a very reasonable price. Margaritas were top notch and the service was adequate for it being a very busy night. If you're in Tomball this should be a place you'd stop. The only reason I took off a star is because the air conditioner was off...no bueno.

Maybe it was just that day? But it was Hot. We were there with a party of 8 so many different dishes. Food was good but not wow good? Just good general texmex. Salsa right off was not anything you'd call authentic? It was med hot and mostly just tomato? The salsa Verde was pretty hot but also flat? I was excited to see they had menudo as I had been wanting some for a time passing up my typical fajitas etc. Disappointing to say the least. The Can menudo at the grocery store has more flavor. Unfortunately everyone agreed that nothing anyone had was memorable or something to recommend. Surprisingly it was still busy so I guess people enjoy simple texmex. For us? Well pass. Sorry.

Great food, fresh squeezed orange juice, the service not so great. Service is meh …..Food was great thanks to the cook and fresh tortillas. The day of the dead man in full make up was a surprise

Basic Tex Mex. The food looks awesome but it's nothing special. Service was pretty bad. One waitress had an attitude. The other was ok. But neither one really paid any attention to our table. Will not go back. Rather go to Taco Bell for Tex Mex. Better food, cheaper, and no attitude.

I went with family and friends this past weekend. The food was good but service was a joke. Our server was just sitting on her phone and just chatting with her coworkers. Never came to check on us and took 10+ minutes for anyone to notice us trying to get their attention. We never got refills and the only other time she came was after we left the table and were standing to check out another 15+ minutes. Freaking ridiculous. Stupid that they forced us to tip when they didn't deserve it.

Oh no... over charged, fajita chicken was unseasnoned and tasted like cardboard, fajita beef was like shoe leather.... I like small family restaurants but this one should be avoided. Service was horrid, taking food away as we were eating. On the plus side bottled beer was cold. They had a special hot sauce that was rather nice. Sadly, I would never go back.
