La Pizca — Restaurant in Conroe

Last time we went to our favorite Mexican Restaurant we noticed a new one nearby. For father's day we tried this one. We were not happy with Yellow Margaritas. The salsa was too cold, and the green stuff was SO spicy that after 1 bite I had to ask for milk. I've never before seen Shrimp Enchiladas and decided what the heck, why not? 2 bites in I could not continue, they were inedible to me. I hate wasting food or complaining. Growing up my parent and grandmother would find the slightest fault and throw raging cursing fits at the server. Neither ever worked in a restaurant. I have. I have been a server, I am now a Chef. Our server and the Chef can NOT be faulted for my weird food reactions. When our server noticed I was not eating and had moved my plate I was questioned politely and immediately offered something else. A menu was handed to me and I went with my 2nd choice. Portobello & Spinach Quesadilla. I was still trying to recover from the spicy green stuff and the Shrimp Enchiladas, my insides hurt and I was trying not to throw up. To be A VERY clear, it was me being me and had nothing to do with the food. I only managed to eat 1/4 of my delightful Portobello & Spinach Quesadilla and had to ask for a to go box and left. Our server and the lovely lady that assisted were EXCEPTIONAL! I ended up with 4 total meals from that Quesadilla. If I go back it will be for the 5+ star service and another Quesadilla. To both ladies I would say, "I hope management knows what gems...

La Pizca

9/10 ⭐

Conroe on West Davis

The location once known as Manny's BBQ is now La Pizca. A fairly extensive remodel to fill in the formerly inset floor and some walls have been removed to open it up.

FOOD:

A fresh salsa served with the chips. It may be too much heat for some people (like my wife) but I loved it. The queso was fine they don't offer queso blanco so you're stuck with yellow cheese.

I had the Birria tacos which were good, the meat was tender and the tortillas were fresh. The sauce served with it was packed with flavor. My only preference would be for more of the sauce to be implemented in the frying of the taco for those crispy edges 😋

Wife had Quesadillas, she loved them.

The happy hour house margarita on the rocks was loaded with so much ice you could hardly stir the drink.

However the bartender can make a pretty good Top Shelf margarita.

The food was good and the service was good, I'll definitely be back.

Update: Cheese enchiladas are great too.

Update: Good Portabella Steak

Update,...

We loved everything about this hidden gem. We started with chips, salsa and queso. The salsa is excellent and a little spicy. The queso was far above the average queso. You could taste the different cheeses and added pico. We had the Molcajete Mix on the appetizer menu as our meal. I'm so glad we did! It was delicious with grilled beef, chicken, shrimp, mushroom, onion, bell pepper, grilled cheese and nopales (cactus) in this scrumptious garlic, butter sauce. All served in a giant, very hot, stone Molcajete. This dish was served with 2 plates of rice and beans along with guacamole, sour cream, pico and the best homemade corn and/or flour tortillas! It was plenty enough for 2 people and we took some home. We loved the decor and they even have cloth napkins. Rob, our server/bartender was knowledgeable, engaging and attentive. My only disappointment was the small size of the slice of chocolate cake for $10.00. This place will soon be the "go to" Authentic Mexican restaurant in Montgomery County! We are delighted with...
