Mom Alone Mexican Grill

Old Japanese or Chinese restaurant converted to Mexican restaurant. Smells like water damage inside. Very friendly staff, reasonable prices. I ordered a chimichanga and what I got was more akin to an empanada. Very thick doughy exterior, taste was ok. Beans and rice were good. I'm from Arizona so I don't know how Mexican food is done in Texas but this was out of the norm for me. Probably wouldn't return.

Very cool "hole in the wall" spot in clear lake/Webster area. It's been around for 20+ years and the original Mom and Grandmom are still in house making sure things go accordingly. If you're looking for a papasitos/ chuys vibe this is not your spot. However if you randomly pull over to a beat up filled parking lot for Tex Mex- THIS IS IT!! A local icon and great food, extremely affordable and wholesome customer service

Great service. Nice and clean inside. Food was good. Forgot to take pictures of food. Our party of 20+ all enjoyed the food...

**This review is really a 3.5 star rating.**My bride surprised me by taking me here for lunch, as she knows I'm a Tex-Mex junkie. I'll just say, it was a great way to wrap up 2020.Don't let the exterior of this joint fool you. Though seemingly stuck in the 1970s, the interior is sparkly clean, pleasantly dark and deceivingly large. The servers wear black and white and treat guests like royalty. It's almost as if a Tex-Mex joint is locked in time in NYC, where it's more common to continue dancing with what got them there. As with most places during my initial visit, I ordered a variety platter -- enchilada, tamale, crispy taco and a bean chalupa. Everything tasted great, though the taco had more than its fair share of grease. Otherwise, the lettuce was cool and crunchy, beans were smooth and smoky, and the rice was al dente ... all delicious. The tamale, though the menu didn't mention it, was chicken. Normally, I prefer pork tamales, but this one was delicious and worthy of a repeat. My wife had a beef quesadilla and enjoyed it, despite that it was greasier than most. Crispy thin tortilla chips are served here with salsa and complimentary queso, which is far better than average. While the salsa seemed to contain all of the right ingredients, it's served at an almost-boiling temperature. If you read my reviews, you know that I believe warmed salsa is sacrilege, and most of the time I refuse to patronize a restaurant that ruins salsa by heating it. But this place is different. No, I was not a fan of the warmed salsa (though my wife loved it), but the level of service and the flavor of the food made me a fan. Back in the day, the idea of a greasy taco would have me chomping at the bit. But I'm older now, and such things aren't nearly as fun as they used to be. I'll order like the older dude that I am next time. And there will definitely be a next time.

"Don't judge a book by its cover!" Inside it's beautiful and the food and service was excellent! We were a party of 20 and everything was perfect! Definitely recommend this place for small and large parties. Can't wait to go back!

Delicious TexMex, served fresh, & prepared earlier that day! I recommend the chicken fajita, enchiladas, smothered, in queso.

I was with a party of 10 we met for lunch. We had a great time, and our server was so good he gave us plenty of time to go over the lunch menu, and visit. The selection were great very good size and the prices for lunch were great. The orders came our sizzling hot and beautiful. I wished lived closer to be able to visit this beautiful restaurant more often.

Food: usually hott & fresh; full menuService: doesn't get any cuter than Mom & Pop (owners working alongside staff)Atmosphere: chill, comfortable, relaxing Good people Good vibes

The food was great and the service was even better. Doesn't look like much from the outside. We almost left because the parking lot was nearly empty. The beef fajitas were cooked well. The combination plate I ordered was very good. Inside was clean and not indicative of the outside.

Excellent food and service. The building on the outside doesn't have the best appearance but the inside is very clean. I had the lunch beef fajitas and they were very good. The sides were a very small portion. Queso comes with your chips which was very good.
