I stumbled in here for breakfast on a weekend and was pleasantly surprised by everything; food, service, and the ambiance. The waitress was extra kind and attentive. Enjoyed the Chilaquiles w/ a cup of coffee. I would like to return and try the Enchiladas Mole for lunch sometime…They look fabulous! Definitely give this place a go.

This is the most authentic chile relleno I have had in Houston, their gorditas are very well served and made fresh. Omg and the chile relleno comes with hand made tortillas. They have aguas frescas made to order with fresh fruit….its a great spot, will definitely be coming back!

When you first walk in you’re greeted by the most kind staff ever! Yuri made me feel like I was having dinner at a friends house. She was very welcoming and recommended a couple dishes. I decided on the gorditas and I can tell you I did truly felt like I was eating a home cooked meal. Everything was fresh! Their salsas options are amazing! I always go for the green sauce but something about that red sauce makes me want to choose it over the green both are really good. I couldn’t decide on what to drink so I ordered a variety and my favorite hands down was the pineapple! So refreshing!!! I highly recommend to stop by and get a Gordita I was very satisfied I can’t wait to go back and try more items of the menu.

This restaurant captures the essence of authentic Mexican cuisine with impressive attention to detail. Every component-from freshly made tortillas to perfectly seasoned beans-reflects genuine culinary skill and pride in preparation. The dishes arrive quickly without sacrificing quality, and pricing remains remarkably accessible. The staff demonstrates real warmth and attentiveness, treating guests like valued community members. The intimate atmosphere feels thoughtfully designed, creating an inviting space that celebrates the food and culture. Homemade aguas frescas and quality coffee elevate the experience. This is the kind of establishment that succeeds through authenticity and heart rather than pretense.

The atmosphere feels like a clean small office but the food is authentic, feels like a mom or senora cooked it in the back and brought that homemade food to you. simple and delicious. highly recommend this. Ate the taco plate, all great but the simple beans and rice really go well. would hope they add a slight bigger option for kids as just a quesadilla right now but they’re still new. service is great.

I had the green enchiladas at El Centenario, and I have to say — it’s one of the most authentic Mexican dishes I’ve had in a long time. The flavors were rich and traditional, just like home-cooked meal. The green sauce had the perfect balance of spice and tang, and the enchiladas were cooked to perfection. If you’re looking for real Mexican food that hits the soul, this place delivers. Highly recommend!

Food was incredible, no wonder this spot has its rating. Food was cook to order and not a long wait time. My brother had Enchiladas Verdes, while I had the Quesadilla Plate, and let me tell yall. The rice nice and fluffy, perfectly, and I do mean perfectly cooked, beans were very homey tasting like if your mom can throw down on some beans these would be it. And the ratio on the quesadilla of fajita to queso was to the T. Their aguas frescas are actually fresca, blended in house and super refreshing. This is gonna be my hidden gem forever. I hope this type of food/service combo never changes. Truly hope many blessings come this small business’s way. God bless.

The food was absolutely delicious and so authentic — it instantly reminded me of California Mexican food! The barbacoa tacos were juicy and flavorful, and the chile rellenos were perfectly made — light, cheesy, and full of rich flavor. You can really taste the quality and tradition in every bite. It’s the kind of meal that makes you feel at home and explains why everyone keeps coming back.
The service as well amazing! Thank you Yuri your hospitality is unmatched . Definitely coming back
