Martha’s Mexican Restaurant

I dined here for lunch last week for the first time. They offer a lunch menu that is similar to the dinner menu but with lower prices so I took advantage of that. I asked for the chicken fajitas with charro beans instead of the refried beans listed on the menu. I also went with corn tortillas. My waitress informed me that the lunch fajitas come with 1/4 lb. of meat as compared to the dinner portion with 1/2 lb. The cost for the lunch fajitas is $15 and $5 more for the dinner version.First to arrive were the complimentary chips and red salsa. This salsa was served hot (temperature wise) and was watery. Not my favorite both in temperature and its soupy consistency and was a disappointing beginning for me.The fajitas came out later on a sizzling platter with rice, guac and pico on a separate plate. Honestly I wasn't impressed with this part of the meal either. It was ok and not bad but this meal gave me no reason to return. The charro beans looked good with plenty of content but didn't have the taste I wanted. The chicken slices and grilled onions were similar and this meal was average at best. The one saving grace to this meal was our table service was very good.I will give this restaurant the benefit of the doubt and grade this meal a 3 but I am in no hurry to return.

Oh so yummy. I have friends in town from Italy. They love how fresh the food is and how it is made to order

Why 5 stars? Because it's hard to find much that I didn't like. --- --- ---Okay, I will mention one thing I didn't love: it didn't strike us as the cleanest place. When we walked in, it smelled like cleaning supplies, but not the "everything is super fresh" kind. More like the "mop that's been used for a couple weeks" aura. But you know what? The food was awesome, so 5-stars it is.We ordered the chips and queso, of course. And it was money. My wife ordered the fajitas and everything there was on point: the steak, the tortillas, the rice and beans - all excellent.And I strayed from the norm and ordered Martha's Enchiladas with fried eggs on top. It was kind of an early lunch (11a), and the photos of this looked really appealing, so I went for it. I did not regret it and would happily order this again.One note that no one will care about but me: my wife picked this restaurant out because we were in the area. I knew nothing about it because she had done the research. As we were getting closer, I mentioned that my Grandma lived right in this area at one time. And then we kept getting closer and closer and kept driving as if we were literally going to her old house. It turned out, I literally could have thrown a baseball from the parking lot and hit her driveway. Again, this means nothing to anybody else, but it was a nice sentimental addition to our experience. She's no longer with us, but it was nice to imagine swinging by and taking her to Martha's for lunch.

We have yet to be disappointed. Margaritas on point. Portions are great! Best wait staff very friendly.

---Dearest ReaderI write with great urgency and pray to the stars this finds you well. Hidden off the trails of Alma St. exists a Tex-Mex Oasis. Just writing this message has me craving their delish food and frozen libation. To me, there are 3 different categories of Tex-Mex. IMO, this teeters more in to the territory of Tex-Mex-Mex. Why you ask? Simply put, they have one of the best and authentic moles I have had North of the Rio Grande. Honestly though, their Chicken Mole Enchiladas are a delicacy. I have had both the shredded and the fajita renditions and I finished both before I could even snap a picture. Their "tex-mex" classic cheese enchilada is phenomenal as well. I really like that they don't skimp on the cheese within the enchilada and also provide you with a generous portion of the chili gravy. It is a perfect sea of deliciousness to dip their crisped to perfection vessel that we know as the tortilla chip.Speaking of their tortilla chips, I've dined here 5+ times and never once have I had an overcooked, over greasy or overly thick chip. They really are exactly what one should look for when designing a restaurant tortilla chip (the golden standard so to say).Margaritas are nothing special, not too sweet and a good tartness. Definitely recommend trying it with Tajin (vs. salt) if you're in to that kind of thing.Don't be surprised if you run in to me here.---Mitchell

Always a great spot for great small town TexMex. One of our regular spots! Great service!

We eat here a lotOn Sundays after church and it's always good. My husband is not a fan ofMexican food and he says the burger is great.

Meet some family here for lunch after church. They seated us right away. The service was great food also had great flavor and was nice and warm. Our drinks were always kept full without asking. The restaurant looked ok could use some updating.Would go back if we're in Tomball.

Went to Martha's expecting to get great food, and I was not disappointed! I had the Tex Mex Burrito, it was great! The only downside was the service was a little slow in the beginning but it eventually picked up and was great! Will defiantly return next time I'm in the Houston area.

My family and I eat here frequently and they never disappoint. The staff is the nicest group of people, and the food is always fresh, hot, and Delicious! The chef takes pride in his meals and sometimes comes out to see if we're enjoying our meal. The service is always exceptional. The vibe here is very family friendy and welcoming. Tomball's hidden gem.
