Mendoza Mexican Restaurant Houston Reviews
Los Mendoza's is a quaint Mexican restaurant with attentive and friendly service! The food is hot, fresh, authentic and delicious!
Gave it a shot, and 🎯! They start you off with a sopa de fideo. We had several plates and everything was great! Service was awesome, and it is hard to describe it, but you can taste the authenticity of the food! Great dishes from several parts of our culture that make it a great place for friends and family! Weekends are packed so call ahead and make reservations, weekdays are easier for a drop in.
Been looking for a place like this for a long time. Food is served hot! Food is also delicious, corn tortillas are freshly made. Didn’t care for the beans and rice but the main food was tasteful and hot just how I like it.
awesome! my first time ever here and the food was delicious, the tacos dorados with the sauce for the tacos ahogados was delicioussss. The lady working here was the kindest and sweetest, she helped us out a lot! I really recommend this place, definitely will be coming back. If you are looking for something Mexican and authentic this is the place, and it’s open until late!!
This place was delicious! Got to talk to the owner who was so nice. Everything is made fresh to order. The menudo and Pozole are sooo good! Also got a sope and it was delicious. The tortilla chips were fresh to order and the salsa’s were all delicious. If in the area and you are looking from some good authentic Mexican food you definitely need to try this place.
This place has great traditional Mexican cuisine. I had the cochinita, my husband had the fajita, my little cousin had the cheese enchilada and my mom the mole. It's was a solid 10 stars. If you order the Mole, it's a little spicy but it has great flavor. Thesalsa molcajete come with quesadillas and I loved eating them with the pulled pork I ordered.
I have eaten here twice now and when I say it does not disappoint!! Food is AMAZING! Service… even Better! I have had a breakfast meal, a lunch meal, dessert and one of their fresh juice drinks! All a 10 out of 10!!! I even got a couple of their AWESOME mugs to take home with me! If you haven’t tried this restaurant, you are missing out!!! GO TODAY!!
Seriously, this this place is so good. Every plate that came out for everyone, looks so good. My picture posted does not even show the true size of what you see in person. Our lady, Mave, is so sweet and actually everyone else attending to everyone else is also so nice. Exited for coming back. Que sitio tan chevere y comida tan sabrosa! La attention fue muy linda del personal- gracias Mave 🙏
This restaurant delivers on all fronts! The authentic Mexican food is incredible—fresh, vibrant, and clearly made with pride, setting it far above standard fare. The cool decor is lively and colorful, creating an immediately fun and immersive atmosphere. Beyond the delicious menu, the great hospitality from the whole team is noteworthy. The true standout was LuLu. She has fantastic service skills, making her attentive, friendly, and deeply knowledgeable. She was extremely helpful in trying to decide what food to get, offering perfect recommendations that made our dining complete. If you want a truly authentic meal, a great setting, and service that goes above and beyond, ask for LuLu!
The restaurants vibe was so nice and I felt welcomed. Especially by my server, lulu, she was so attentive, kind, and works quick. I had the menudo and it was so tasty and fresh. My sister had the flautas and they were absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend this place. A gem in the city for sure!
Food tastes just like if you’re at your grandmas house. From their tortillas hechas a mano, natural aguas frescas along with their authentic Mexican food flavors, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. There were also lots of green plants indoors, such a green, organic environment. The waitress was super nice and the service we got was top tier. Can’t wait to go back and try another dish.
I’ve visited this restaurant a handful of times now, and every single dish I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. The quality and flavor are consistently impressive, which is what keeps me coming back. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes and freshness of the food. One of my favorite things about this place is their fresh juices—always refreshing and perfectly made. The staff is another highlight: they’re always friendly, helpful, and make you feel genuinely welcome. It’s clear they care about providing a great experience. This restaurant has quickly become a family favorite for us. Whether we’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxed meal, we always leave happy and satisfied. Highly recommend!
If you're in Houston and craving authentic Mexican food, Los Mendoza is a must. Everything here tastes homemade and full of flavor. We started with a refreshing Pal Corazón cocktail and watched them prepare a spicy red sauce right at our table amazing! I dipped a warm tortilla into the sauce with some guacamole and it was one of the best bites of the night. We tried a little bit of everything: the tacos ahogados were juicy and flavorful, the birria ramen combo was rich and comforting, and the enchiladas were classic and delicious. I also had carne en su jugo for the first time definitely a new favorite. And of course, we couldn’t skip dessert: the banana split and flan were the perfect sweet ending. The staff is super friendly and made us feel right at home. You can tell they care about what they serve. I’ll definitely be back soon!
We were looking for authentic Mexican breakfast and we definitely came to the correct spot! From the moment we stepped in we were greeted with a warm welcome, we seated ourselves and our order was promptly taken. The large variety of options is awesome, the restaurant is very clean and well taken care of, our food came out perfect and everyone was satisfied. We will definitely be back for lunch or dinner next time! Thank you LULU and all the staff for an excellent service and meal.
I wish I could put more Stars. This place is awesome. So we don't ever go by airline Rd, I mean unless we have to like today. We were supposed to eat somewhere where we live but I told my husband nah let's just eat somewhere over there. I looked at some places and Los Mendoza came up with 4.5 stars. I read the reviews and liked it so we decided to eat there. From the moment you walk in they welcome you and you sit wherever you want. The cleanest, waiter, the food and everything was absolutely delicious. I took some pictures. 💯 Recommended. Definitely want to go again whenever we are on that side.
We were driving by and saw this restaurant,so we decided to give it a try. There was a 20 min wait (no big deal). It's a small restaurant with enough tables. We ordered the fresh fruit drinks. They are awesome especially they offer no sugar!! Ordered 2 taco de tripa well cooked. They are the WORST tacos I have ever tasted. All I tasted was fat and they added fat to the tacos. Who adds fat to tripa tacos? Had beef soup. Good flavor and the beef was really soft to eat. Had menudo and it was kinda bland, but the menudo itself was soft and easy to chew. Fresh made tortillas. They brought us some small soup and I believe flautas de potaoe. It was a nice touch, but they brought it when we got our food. Could of brought it while we were waiting for our food
