One of the few places where the pics of the food on the menu are served just the way the look in the pictures. Try the Kale Chicken salad, its amazing!

This place has tacos that are a little different from the usual Tex - Mex fare. The service is usually speedy although the drive thru lane can be difficult to maneuver into.

Awesome tacos. Mostly Cuban style stuff but it tastes great. Havana plate is a heck of a deal.

The best taqueria. Great tacos, great platters. Ropa vieja is delish. Try the cantaloupe or orange juice, they're amazing

My favorite Mexican restaurant. The veggie tacos are amazing. You can make it vegan by ordering white rice and black or refried beans.

As a Mexican-Cuban place, they do both pretty well - though the Mexican is generally better than the Cuban. For Cuban food, I recommend the steak sandwich over the cuban sandwich or the pork.
El Rey also has convenient hours, considering many places in the area are closed Sundays.

Why did it take this long for a Cuban fast food place? And these guys do it so well. They have a great Cubano sandwich, cafe Cubano, plantains, great ropa vieja, and other favorites. And you can get rotisserie chicken here after they stopped selling it at Taco Cabana. It is a TexMex fusion place too but the Cuban food is what I come for.

I make my own breakfast tacos here and I came so often they started to remember my order. Plantains are great, tried to make myself but never able too. Staff is friendly and professional. Plenty of seating for groups and the back has extra parking.

Solid Cuban and tacos. This location is less crowded, and thus quicker, than the spot on Shepherd. Tacos from $2.35-2.75 and great plantains! Coffee is good. Staff is friendly and patient - the menu can be overwhelming. They serve breakfast, which is on my to-do list.

Great Cuban Tex Mex food, maybe best in Houston. All sorts of Cuban dishes and tacos. I haven't had a bad meal here yet. The Cuban coffee is pretty amazing as well. The building and parking is a little small but it is worth it.
