Tex Chick

Oh man! Walked in and the owner greeted me warmly, before letting me know what was on the menu today. I ordered the chicken stew with the red beans and rice, plus tostones, and let me tell you - it was delicious and cooked with love! No, it's not fancy, and maybe better for take out for big groups, but I loved the warmth of the people working there and the tasty food will have me coming back! Authentic and delicious - I have missed Puerto Rican food, so I am so glad I came here.

I finally had the pleasure of checking out Tex-Chick Eatery, a family-owned Puerto Rican restaurant that’s been serving the community since 1982, now lovingly run by Titi Marilu and Titi Grace. From the moment I stepped into this cozy spot, I instantly felt like I was back home in Puerto Rico. Just like our island - it’s small, but filled with a huge heart. We chatted with them about our families, childhood memories, and how happy we are that they’ve kept our culture alive right here in the Montrose area of Houston. It’s a counter-service eatery, where you can see all the freshly prepared dishes right in front of you. You truly can’t ask for better service — if there’s something you’re craving that’s not in the menu and they have time, they’ll gladly make it for you! That’s the kind of warmth and hospitality that makes this place so special. We enjoyed a true Puerto Rican feast: arroz con gandules, pernil, mofongo con camarones al ajillo, pollo frito, empanadas de yuca y masa, flan de coco, limber de guanábana, and of course, more food to take home because we couldn’t have it all at once! My personal highlight? The limber with traditional flavors. Limbers definitely took me back to childhood. Prices are very reasonable, college students even get 10% off, parking can be a bit tricky, and they’re closed Sunday through Tuesday — but trust me, it’s absolutely worth planning your visit. Let’s keep our culture thriving. Support our local Puerto Rican businesses. WEEPA! 🇵🇷💃🏽

Vanessa made our entire experience so special. From the moment we walked in, she treated us like family. She was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests and the restaurant. It’s places like this and servers like Vanessa that make you want to come back again and again. Thank you for such beautiful hospitality.

This was the best! From the minute we walked we felt welcomed and loved. The food was AMAZING!!!! I would definitely come here again

in the last week

I ordered the mofongo w/ carne guisada and it was pretty good! Price point is a little high ,but honestly the food and hard work to make quality dishes says enough. The wonderful lady that was there was super sweet and accommodating🖤 This is a great place if you want something that feels comforting. It’s hard to find authentic Puerto Rican food, especially from the south-east side of Houston, so I’m definitely happy to experience coming here and get my fixings of mofongo 😌.
