Food was great. Shrimp tacos best anywhere. Chicken fajitas very good. Margaritas not so much. Loved sitting outside.

Superica is one place that we continually come back to. In our opinion, these are the best fajitas in Houston. The meat is so well cooked and is the perfect balance of tender with some crisp on the outside. There is a butter sauce that comes with the fajitas takes them to the next level. While the fajitas are the main attraction, the queso, salsa, and margaritas are all very good as well. Of note, there is complimentary valet as well as a lot to the side for parking. It is often quite busy here so you may want to come early to beat the crowds!

Came here for brunch on a whim after the rodeo traffic thwarted our original plans. This is always a great place and the food and service are top notch. I was a little put off by the valet only parking but it is complimentary and they have Venmo, Zelle, and CashApp QR codes to scan and tip if you don't have cash. The valet was super fast both taking and bringing my car back. We came early afternoon so there were a lot of spots. Food was filling and chips and salsas (both red and green) were given. They were out of the non-alcoholic "liquor" so that was a bummer because I wasn't able to get my margarita and both of the drink offerings used that same "liquor". My friend's espresso martini was made with cold brew which they did tell him. He seemed to enjoy it. My friend got the pancakes and they were huge. Word to the wise, just get one if you're not a big eater because it was almost double the size of his face.

Easily the best pancake I've ever had!! The ambiance is so cute and unique and the patio is even cuter!

Yes! The chix relleno was tasty and well prepared but what made this place amazing was the service Louise was the perfect server. She knew the menu, made great suggestions and made our stay perfect. We could not have asked for a more welcoming server Please try this place

Superica is getting 5 stars because they hit every box on my grading sheet. We live in Montgomery, so we would never come to town for dinner at Superica as we would pass 50 other tex mex joints on the way. But, we were in town to pick up some Holiday Cookies at Pudgy's, so we stopped off at Superica for lunch. The standard El Frio frozen margarita hit the spot. Fresh lime juice, great taste, and the perfect frozen slushiness that did not need a straw. Chips, salsa, and queso with chorizo - Couldn't have been better. Chips were very thin, but held together. Both green and red salsas were very flavorful, and the queso with chorizo was outstanding. Never congealed up like some queso tends to do once its sat around a while. For our mains, we ordered the Crispy Taco plate and the lunch combo with two beef enchiladas. Again, everything checked the right boxes. The tacos were old school, with crispy tortillas that were a little greasy in the right way (you knew they were homemade). Filled with flavorful picadillo ground beef and the accompaniments. The enchiladas were chock full of ground beef and Chile gravy. Excellent texture for the enchiladas and the flavors were great. Didn't need any additional hot sauce. Service was attentive, and the space was well lighted and comfortable. Not too crowded during a weekday lunch. If we were in the Heights around lunchtime, we wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

We visited as a group of seven around 6:30 PM on a Monday, and with a reservation, we were promptly seated outside. The outdoor area was fantastic--our cozy corner allowed for easy conversations while enjoying the lively yet relaxed atmosphere. We ordered the steak and chicken fajitas, and they were absolutely delicious! Both the steak and chicken were incredibly tender and packed with flavor! The service, while attentive, felt a bit rushed at times. It seemed like the staff was eager to move things along, though that might just have been my impression. Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food and a welcoming vibe. A solid Tex-Mex spot!

Cool spot with an outdoor patio that I'd actually not mind sitting at again in the Houston heat! Was a busy night there so things came out a little slower but their margarita was refreshing, and the steak quesadillas hit hard! Their chips and salsa pretty salad, especially their green salsa. I had a few bites of their shrimp salad and even that was fresh and tasty. Parking lot on site is valet only.

What an interesting little spot! If you frequent the area, I'm sure you know, but the parking in this area of the Heights is WILD! Your choices are to park in their valet only lot or circle the block and risk parking in the approved lot across the street (with I arrived to to find with good visibility but shattered glass from broken car windows.) When I arrived, I almost walked straight into La Luca, which was popping next door. This spot, not so much, or possibly it was just the vibe- it felt more chill. The bar, situated off to the right side, was a bit of an odd little setting, but I have up say, the service was awesome. I watched as the bartender worked the room. I grabbed a jalapeño margarita, Bandit Queen, queso, and two shrimp tacos and everything was delicious. The Bandit Queen with tajin rim being the standout (but to be fair, if you add chamoy, tajin, or guava to anything, I'm more inclined to like it.) If I return I'll definitely do so for breakfast/lunch because their hotcakes are bigger than my fast. That, and the customer service were the big winners for this spot!

Went for a solo brunch a few weeks ago and chose to just sit at the bar. They seemed really busy (which is great!) but that meant it took a little while for the bartender to greet me and get my meal started. I didn't mind at all since I wasn't in any rush and both bartenders were very friendly and continued to check on me throughout my meal. Sadly they were out of horchata so I'll have to come back to try that! I was torn because the entire brunch menu sounded delicious, but ended up going with the chorizo, potato & eggs which was soooo good. I've heard their pancakes are also amazing so I definitely want to come back with a group and try more of the brunch menu!
