First time at this location. Holy cow the fajitas are amazing! They are soft, succulent and the tortillas are fresh made. The price is right, the ambiance is good and the waitstaff is friendly and warm. Our server Laura, was funny and engaging. Definitely a place to go for a good meal.

Johnny Tamales in Pasadena never disappoints, and today just sealed the deal. I had their fajita burrito, smothered in queso – and let me tell you, when that warm queso melts into the Spanish rice… that’s a little taste of Texas heaven right there. The fajita meat was tender, seasoned just right, and the red beans had that authentic home-cooked flavor that reminds you of Sunday lunch at grandma’s.
The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the atmosphere has that fun, local Pasadena vibe that keeps you coming back. As a local REALTOR® and Google Local Guide, I’m always out exploring great spots in our community – and Johnny Tamales is absolutely one of my go-to places for quality, comfort, and flavor.
If you’re in the Pasadena area and craving true Tex-Mex, this spot hits all the marks. Five stars — supporting local never tasted so good!

Just along Sam Houston Parkway you can I’ll find this Tex Mex cantina. It is a chain of at least 2 locations, and it’s a solid spot for work lunch, happy hour, family dinner, date night, etc.
It terms of Tex Mex it is so-so. The meals are good, but we live in Houston where you can find so many incredible Tex Mex, Mexican, and fusion restaurants.
The restaurant is inviting and vibrant on the outside, but somewhat dim and less inviting on the inside. Also, the service was on point, but our server wasn’t particularly upbeat or pleasant.
I will say that their lunch menu is fairly impressive, and the portions will leave you wondering if you accidentally ordered from the dinner menu. Also, they come by to check on drinks, chip baskets, and salsas which is nice so you don’t have to feel bad asking for more.
Some tips:
Try the green sauce, it’s delicious. It’s a creamy green salsa, and if you ask for more they will most likely bring one for each person at the table. And on Tuesdays it’s Fajita Tuesday where you can get mixed fajitas for two for $32.99 (normally $38.99). Also, there’s a self serve soft serve (tongue twister) ice cream station at the door. Help yourself to a little complimentary dessert on your way out.
Cheers!!

Good, not great, food. Enjoyed it, very busy, large restaurant. Parking was pretty full. Chips are meh, salsa mildly spicy (2/10). Pico very mild. Fajitas good, but don’t include sour cream.

The food, service and atmosphere at this restaurant we’re absolutely phenomenal in my opinion.
I had lunch at 1:30 on Friday and the atmosphere was very calm and laid back as you would imagine around that time frame.
We sat at the corner booth by the window in the bar area which turn down to be the perfect spot.
I decided on the spinach and chicken enchiladas with extra rice on the side and it was absolutely delicious.
The clientele around the bar started to pick up around 2:00, 2:30 which is what is to be expected and everyone seemed very lively and cheerful.
This was a wonderful experience and I will definitely be visiting again!

I love the beef tacos here. The chips a d salsa is great with the thin chips. Not too spicy and has the cilantro kick. OK service, bill was messed up. See deer left to “fix” but hadn’t returned for awhile so we waited longer than we wanted to. Good AC,I was shivering cold (tend to be sensitive to cold). For the most part the service was good and prompt.

Johnny Tamales has a Texmex vibes and atmosphere. We were sifted immediately and asked about drink orders. Their bar is not well stocked, required me to substitute my choices twice and the substitute was well below expected quality. Our orders were quick and the food was great. But we needed to ask for utensils and napkins inorder to eat. We found overall service was lacking.

Johnny Tamales in Pasadena really delivered! We came in with a big group of 29 people, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. The staff stayed on top of everything — drinks were refilled quickly, orders came out right, and the food was hot and fresh. You could tell they cared about making sure our whole group had a great experience. Everyone left happy and full. It’s not easy to handle a crowd that size, but they nailed it. We’ll definitely be back!
