Mingo's Latin Kitchen

I had been wanting to check out Mingo's Latin Kitchen for quite some time. I first checked them out many years ago when they were a food truck. Having them open a brick-and-mortar location in my hometown was exciting. I stopped by on a Tuesday evening for dinner. They're located in a shopping center so parking won't be an issue. You order at the counter and then they bring your food out to you. I went with the brisket fries which are your classic loaded fries that are super popular from food trucks. With some crispy fries at the base, cheese, and a mix of sauces including their signature sauce, this was a tasty and hearty dish. I have a weakness for loaded fries. I also added an egg for an additional charge which is always a good idea. From there, I also went with the churros which are served with a chocolate dipping sauce. The mini churros were a bit lackluster. A little overcooked. With churros, you're looking for the perfect blend of a chewy interior with a little crispness. It's easy to mess this up both if it's undercooked or overcooked. Service was friendly. It's a small restaurant too with only a handful of tables. Definitely check it out if you're looking for some Latin fusion.

Even though the restaurant was closing in 20 minutes they still took out to go order. The food was Uh-mazing! Brisket, cream corn, shrimp tacos. Can't wait to try more food from here.

Been a fan of Mingo's food truck since day one 2015. Happy to see small businesses prosper to brick and mortar. Location is quaint, limited seating and low key vibe. Recent visit received superb service from Brianna. Food and drinks were good as always. Stop by and give them a try. #support your local small business owners.

The brisket tacos will blow you out of the water. Delish! So yummy! Good service too!

If I could give this place a rating on service only it would be 5/5. The woman at the front was sooo welcoming, personable and friendly. The vibe was after work quick stop. There were a few ladies enjoying some libations. -Ambiance: 5/5. Cute, colorful and a overall a nice casual spot. There were napkins at every table which was very convenient. -Food:1) The Elotes- 8/10. The topping was delicious. They lose a point because it was definitely canned corn instead of fresh. 2) The chicken empanadas- 6/10 only because the dough was crunchy and awesome. Otherwise it would be a 2/10. The filling was sparse and lacked taste. They topped it with pico and crema. 3) The brisket tacos- 6/10. There was enough meat, the pico was good but the dish lacked spice. We asked for their spicest and it was a Tabasco heat at best. 4) The pork belly tacos- 3/10 the pork belly was not crispy or reminiscent of a char at all. The meat was sweet and sparse. The cucumber topping was refreshing. They lost points for sparse filling as well. I actually moved the filling down and it became a 2 bite taco. Sooo disappointing. 5) The chips that accompany all meals was one of the best things there: 8.5/10 Crispy, and flavorful. -Value for money- 1/10. For the above plus 1 fountain drink we spent nearly $50. I was extremely taken aback and what we got for $50. I would have been satisfied if there was enough meat. The meal should have costed $30 at most. -Likelihood to return- 0 chance. I understand that the restaurant has to cater for the area that it is in so not having spicy sauces is understandable. My biggest qualm with this place is the value for money.

Just finished having lunch here, what a great experience. The food was excellent! I wish we tried this place sooner. The service was excellent and loved the vibe of this place. We had the Brussels sprouts, fish taco, and chicken and brisket empanadas. We cannot wait to come back!

Was craving Cuban so had to try this new place (or at least new to me, first time here). Small place but didn't have many lunch customers on a Saturday. Service was great and food was excellent. I usually don't give 5 stars but everything was outstanding. Even the french fries were really good. I had the Havana Cuban sandwich and Oso Bueno shrimp taco which with both meals was more than I could eat. Will definitely be back!

This new local Pearland restaurant is amazing!!! Authentic food from Mexico/Mexican made. Not Tex mex. Actual Mexican yumminess. The pics you see here do not do the presentation justice. Appetizers: elote r wey and the honey chipotle Brussels sprouts... just try them. You're welcome. Food: I had the pulled pork rice bowl. Hubby had the fried chicken tacos. Let me tell you... they make this fresh. Lightly battered. Fluffy crisp. Perfect. Large portions. Plus: try the mango pico. And the Mexican coke. Wait! The owner came out and chatted with us. Thank you Tomas and Lily (our server) You're welcome. Buen provecho!!!

Great spot in Pearland. Clean, great staff, amazing food. Staff truly care about their customers. Definitely a repeat customer.

Stopped in here last Friday after seeing one of their posts on Facebook and I was so glad I did!! I'm always looking for a good Cuban sandwich and now that I don't have to go downtown they have a new regular. The Havana sandwich was spectacular! Perfectly toasted hoagie roll, slow cooked pork that was moist and flavorful, and the perfect kick of mustard and pickles round this sandwich out to an authentic and quality eating experience. 9/10 - Personal preference would be a touch more of the brown mustard...I've never tried elote but I chose this place to change that and I think I might've found a new favorite food! The chipotle mayo combined with the Parmesan cheese was fantastic, I'll need a bigger size next time. 10/10 - Wouldn't change a thing! Service was great, both the guy working the counter and the guy cooking the food were in a great mood and very welcoming. The seating area was very clean and organized as well. I will be back!
