Charles Tabangcora: Can't go wrong with the Fajitas. Definitely try them out. Also the guac is pretty good.
CultureMap Houston Manager: Start any meal with the superstar shrimp and mango campechana with avocado and basil. Really hungry? Go all out with a parillada.
Local Houston Magazine: My favorite way to have it: a little dip in queso with a dollop of guacamole on top. It isn’t healthy (if you’re eating queso, you know this) but it’s highly recommended. Read more.

Rebecca Tran: Canteloupe agua fresca, tacos al pastor and carnitas with guac and sourcream... yup.
Zach R: Unimpressive. The Cuban sandwich looked and tasted like a grilled ham and cheese. Excellent guacamole.
Pablo Pesquera: The Summer Special is really good. 3 shrimp tacos with mango , avocado, and cilantro and a cup of black beans.
Rony Canales: Great burgers!!! Avocado cheeseburger is my favorite! But make sure if you order take out you get to your destination in 5 minutes or less or your burger will get soggy. Other thab that, i recomend it

zach galifianakis: Vegan Options: Cilantro Rice, Refried Black Beans, Corn Tortillas, Guacamole (Claro!), Bottomless Mimosas.
A G: Enchiladas are great get the combo one chicken one beef. Wanted more lime in my guacamole
Denise : Enchiladas del mar is delicious but heavy. If you're looking for something lighter, try the ceviche with crab or the fish tacos!

Local Houston Magazine: We love the shrimp and avocado salad. Layered atop a mound of greens you’ll find steamed shrimp, bacon, Roma tomatoes and avocado dressed in spicy honey mustard topped with parmesan cheese. Read more.
Corbin Strong: The Guac and chips is the best in town. Ask for the old chips.
Local Houston Magazine: Feeling more adventurous, the shrimp and avocado salad is so much more than what the name says. Read more.
Nhan Nguyen: Try the steak burrito bowl WITHOUT the tortilla. I add lettuce, habañero sauce, jalapeños, red onions, and guacamole. Great low-carb dish.
CultureMap Houston: Don't forget to ask for guacamole!
Chase Ferrel: Chicken burrito on spinach tortilla is amazing. Gotta get the queso with chips

AlmostVeggies.com: Try the Crispy Ocean... lobster “katsu” with lettuce leaf, cucumber, avocado, topped with spicy mango & flying fish roe. Heart! Read more.
Jenn: Great atmosphere, sushi is a little over-rated, but still a great venue!
Laura Chan: Best desserts
Hector Guzman: My Burrito: white rice, chicken, cheese, corn, & sour cream. In that order. Eat every bite with SMOKED Tobasco sauce. Get some chips and guac to neutralize the burn from the tobasco sauce =)
Better🍀⏭⏰: Ask for xtra brown rice and black beans.
Ryan Stephens: Guess they don't have it all together yet... Beans and rice were cold (at 6:30pm) and significantly smaller portions than you typically get for a bowl.

Natalie Barry: Best turkey sandwich in town! It's not just the same old deli meat everyone else uses. Their smoked turkey on a toasted wheat bun is so yummy!!
Danny Frank: Burgers are good.. and I love the Cobb salad.
Clifton M: Good burgers for lunch after a bike ride. Good place for women to meet men who play golf. But remember, Memorial is a public course; it's not the ROCC, so gold diggers should go elsewhere.

Jenn: The Dylan Roll was especially flavorful - a yellowtail roll, topped with escolar, avocado, green onions, garlic, and masago.
Ernest Hill: love the chef presence. fish was fresh, salmon and flying fish roe as good as anywhere; most rolls too spicy for my tastes, will search the menu for simple. no wine for my date(?!), but i will be back
Dacia Cahanin: This place is amazing the owner and his mom are hilarious!! Outstanding sushi and watch out for that sneaky saki! :-)
