Carlos Mexican Restaurant

Houston is famous for Tex-Mex for a reason ? it is full of spots serving cheesy favorites like enchiladas, tacos, beans and rice and the ubiquitous chips and salsa. Carlos Mexican is one of those Tex-Mex spots, and regulars love their friendly service, the large portions and the affordable pricing. The place is a little grungy from the outside if you?re a first time visitor, but looks can be deceiving. It?s a casual spot that?s family-friendly and convenient if you?re looking for a plate of Tex-Mex on the north side of town.
