Teotihuacan Mexican Cafe

None of those chains of so called ""Tex-Mex"" can compare. This is still some of the best Mexican food in town. I enjoy the Pollo Poblano (creamy poblano sauce over a chicken fajita breast)...always perfect. I recommend the cheap ritas too. If you want your crispy tacos or enchiladas, they have them too, but I would recommend something different and just enjoy it. Pros: Food Cons: Sometimes service suffers because of the crowds. more

The food here is so good and it gives me a chance to practice my Spanglish. This location is my favorite of the 2 - even though it's smaller and looks so ""50's coffee shop"". I find the waitstaff to be very attentive; at lunch, they are running around so fast trying to please every one of us on our one hour lunch break. It is a cafe, very informal, but certainly not TexMex. One of the few places to get a Stuffed-Fried Avocado if you dare. Just pretend you are on a one hour vacation in Mexico. Pros: large servings, GREAT flavors, bargains Cons: tables close together, parking lot more

I've been eating at Teo for several years now and love everything that I have tried. The food is consistently delicious, and everyone that I have taken there goes back. I recommend Teo to everyone that isn't looking for something fancy, but rather for good, fresh, real mexican food! Pros: flavor, presentation of food, price Cons: ambiance more

However, some of the waitresses are very rude. Over the years I think they have become to comfortable with the place being family owned. Just because they own the place does not mean they can do whatever, they need to be respectful to all customers, at all times! Pros: delicious, real mexican food Cons: rude service, needs remodeling more

This place really needs a good cleaning. Food is good and generous portions. Good place for lunch (quick service) but would probably pass on it as a dinner spot. Pros: Good Happy Hour Price, Chicken & Quail, Chips & Dips Cons: Grungy Decor, Need cleaning more

Teotihuacán is the best Mexican restaurant in Houston. Quality is consistently good. Meat is always good and tasty. Both locations have great food. The original location(4624 Irvington Blvd) has faster service. The staff is friendly and welcoming to English- and Spanish-speakers. We've been coming here for 3.5 years and still love it. Everything on the menu is great including: fajitas, enchiladas verdes, flautas, & pollo ranchero. Deserts are good too, such as tres leches, flan, & crepes. Great lunch specials for less than $5. Margaritas cost $1.25 from 3-7 Mon-Fri. Breakfast if always good. Chips are served hot, and homemade flour tortillas are out-of-this-world. Pros: Inexpensive, Great Food & Service, Fun Cons: Not enough parking, Opens at 8 a.m. more

I have been dining @ Teotihuacan for 4 years!! It is the ABSOLUTE best!! Chips, salsa, salads, everything- wonderful!! I have introduced a who scene of ""white folks"" to the ""real mexican flavor"" -- they are all very appreciative!!! My personal fav is el eduardo!! This place is phenomenal! more

One of the most authentic, wonderful, Mexican food restaurants ever! It's a dive, but it makes me proud to a Houstonian! BEST SPINACH ENCHILADAS THE WORLD WILL EVER MAYBE NOT-KNOW!!!!!! Pros: fast, cheap, great more

I've eaten at all these locations and by far this restaurant has the best food and service.They may need to expand to a larger and more comfortable location but I'm afraid that the food and service may be left behind in the small hole in wall where they are located now as many restaurants before have done when they move! more

Just fabulous every time I go... which is often!!! Delicious fajitas, quail, seafood and tacos. The breakfasts are great too! more
