This place was incredible. And the worst part, I had no idea it was even here! She said they had been there about two years, but i won't make that mistake again. We have found a new favorite! Everything we had was good!

Authentic as it gets. The owner and his staff are all excellent at what they do and care about their customers. The food is amazing and you can get what you want without breaking the bank. Their outdoor seating is great and there's turtles and fish right over the railing.

The food was amazing. The tortilla chips were wonderful, along with the salsa. I had the extra spicy salsa. It had flavor and spice. I ordered the fish tacos. It was seasoned grilled individual slices of tilapia, not chopped up pieces of fish. It was served with a little bowl of chopped up tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro. They even carry wine and beer. The margaritas are authentic and delicious. They have a beautiful outdoor patio, which we didn't notice until we were leaving. The outdoor view is beautiful.

I loved the atmosphere and customer service here. From start to finish, my experience was pleasant and the food was A1! I got the vegetarian quesadilla and made it vegan by removing the cheese and sour cream. I got a side of Spanish rice and the chips and salsa came with the meal. Everything was super yummy! The gentlemen who took my order and the cashier who rang up my order were very personable and polite. Beautiful water front location, too for a bonus! Definitely will be returning again

We had angry kids in the car from traveling for hours and stopped here hoping for them to stretch their legs and get some energy out. The outside patio has tables spread out enough that our kids could move around some without bothering other patrons. Right on the water, so beautiful view and visual entertainment as well. Staff is friendly. Food is delicious and served quickly. 100% was worth the stop.

We were recommended to eat here by some friends. We tried it out and loved it. The food is delicious and the restaurant itself is really nice and in a beautiful location. I ordered the chimichangas which were the best I’ve had honestly. My wife got enchiladas verdes which she said was delicious. We really liked their salsa too. Good margaritas too. The service was great and and the food came out quickly and hot. I would highly recommend Hectors of Lake Ridge.

Came in for a lunch date with my husband and we had a great time! We were greeted right as we walked in by the friendly staff. Our waiter was very attentive and service was excellent! The food was delicious. Honestly the best Mexican food I’ve had in the area. The atmosphere and view were perfect on a sunny afternoon. Can’t wait to go back!
