I personally have a hard time trying new Tex-Mex restaurants in Houston. We have such an amazing Tex-Mex scene here, and I find it difficult to beat my favorites El Tiempo and Los Tios. Mandito's was no exception--while fine, it just couldn't quite match up to my favorites.The chicken fajitas, chips and salsa, and margaritas--Tex-Mex staples!--were all good, just not great. And I was pretty annoyed that only three tortillas came out with our order of fajitas (obviously not enough), and they charged us $1 per extra tortilla.But a few good points I have to say about Mandito's: the restaurant was definitely very kid-friendly, and the salsa that came with the complimentary chips had a spicy kick, which was great.

My go to Los Tios was packed as usual Friday for happy hour so tried Manditos. I think they have gotten past their launch issues. Bar tender was great, I had their seasonal pomegranate margarita. We also had order of large guacamole. It was large! Everything was fresh made and staff was super nice. They have a nice patio with heat which will be useful for a month or so in Houston.

Absolutely LOVE this salsa! The food here is excellent. It's not too fancy, but it's also not a dump. My family and I have not had a bad dish yet. The fajitas, margs, Spanish rice, burritos, queso, and guac, nothing disappoints!

This was our second time here and we're so happy we gave them a second chance! They've taken feedback to heart and really have improved since first opening. We went today for happy hour and it was a fantastic value, chips, guac, queso and margaritas all were excellent in flavor and size. We also ordered street tacos which were very good and had a great fresh lime flavor. Server was attentive and friendly and the layout seemed much better than when they first opened which helped it feel more spacious. Look how big this bowl of guac is!

I live in the area and had my eye on this place for a while. I had lunch and dinner plans so I didn't want to eat much but wanted to check it out.This restaurant is very well presented. The lanterns, array of color, the fun tees the servers wear, the furniture...all give an island cultural feel. I sat on the patio and ordered 2 palomas. There are misters on the patio that the staff was testing during my visit. It was odd at first because it was unexpected. It also wasn't terribly hot but I appreciated the concept and I think it will come in handy during the next few Houston months.My Paloma was very well mixed and the presentation (like everything else) was on point. I loved the black salt and my server informed me they have a variety of different salts/rim dressings if I wanted something different.I did not eat, however I was debating queso and decided against it. My server asked if I wanted to taste it so I could know next time if I liked it. Let me be honest here...the queso tasted like melted cheese. There was zero flavor or spice so I was happy I didn't order it. My five star rating is for the ambience and service. Don was my server. He was super attentive and friendly. He asked me my name right away and addressed me by name my entire visit. It felt very personal but not the overstepping kind of personal.I'm on the fence on if I will eat here based on my queso sample and the other reviews but I without a doubt will come back for cocktails.

The decor is great! The chips and salsa were the best thing I ate while I was there. I wish the menu was labeled so I could have known what menu items where vegetarian and gluten free. Thankfully the waitress Natalie was able to answer all my questions about the menu. I ordered the lunch special and unfortunately was not impressed. I felt like the food was very bland especially the black beans and rice. I would go back and have a drink and eat chips and salsa but I don't see myself going back anytime soon. I will stick to my other go to Tex-Mex places.

Great place for a quick, filling, reasonably priced lunch!I had not heard of Mandito's before discovering this Tex-Mex delight today. Reviewing the photos on yelp and menu on their website, I knew this place was the place for lunch today. Maybelline was my server and provided great service!I will be back for margaritas soon!

Food was very disappointing. Small portions with high prices Waiter we had was not trained properly and didn't replenish water and chips. Won't be returning. It's too bad because ambiance is wonderful and so is location.
