" I’ve seen posts online about how great Tortillerria Matehuala is, but experiencing it myself was a joy! I ordered the barbacoa tacos, and it’s hands down some of the best I’ve had in Houston. The freshness of the tortillas is unmatched; you can just tell they are made with love. Service was friendly and quick, and I appreciated how they were not shy about giving recommendations. Although there’s no indoor seating, I found a lovely spot outside to enjoy my food. I highly recommend for anyone in search of real Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible experience at Tortillerria Matehuala! Not only was the barbacoa rich and flavorful, but the fresh tortillas took the dish to another level of deliciousness. I also must mention how affordable it is. The staff was super friendly, too. However, I really wished they had a seat for me because it would have made the experience perfect! I will return for sure. Can’t recommend enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Tortillerria Matehuala enough! Right from ordering to enjoying my meal, it was a delight. I went for the tacos and was able to savor fresh corn tortillas stuffed with tender barbacoa, topped with their spicy salsa. The flavors put me in Mexico! The staff even gave me extra salsa on the side, which was a sweet gesture. Next time, I'll try their tamales on the weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Tortillerria Matehuala left much to desire. While I had high hopes from what I had heard, the food just didn’t impress me the way I expected. The barbacoa was bland, and the tortillas were not as fresh as I had anticipated. The service staff seemed a bit unfriendly too; they took my order but didn’t offer any options or suggestions. It was very disappointing, to say the least. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had one of the most incredible experiences at Tortillerria Matehuala last week! It’s a lovely little spot and the food blows you away. I ordered tacos with their fresh handmade tortillas and the barbacoa was phenomenal as always! The service was top-notch; staff was friendly and quick, making sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere is cozy despite being primarily takeout. I can't emphasize enough how delicious their tortillas are! Can’t wait to go back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing! I decided to try Tortillerria Matehuala because of the hype, but honestly, I wasn’t that impressed. While the tortillas were excellent, I found the service to be lacking; the staff seemed overwhelmed and disorganized. Also, my order took longer than expected. This type of restaurant usually has a good flow, but the ones there didn't seem to care much. I may give it another shot, but I’m not sure if it will be my first choice going forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Tortillerria Matehuala deserves all the praise it gets! Just recently, I tried their quesabirrias and it was probably one of the best things I’ve eaten. The tortillas held up beautifully and paired perfectly with the consomme. Their fresh salsa has just the right amount of heat. The service was quick, and the employees were super friendly. Even though it's takeout only, there's nothing stopping you from enjoying this delicious meal in the comfort of your own home! " (*Curated Review*)
