If you are craving delicious Mediterranean food, this is the place you have to visit! It's less than five minutes away. I had tried Mediterranean food once before and wasn't impressed until a friend of mine (Alex & Mario) had Sawa cater at her son's celebration party. It was so delicious! My husband loved it too! Be sure to call 832-693-9060 and ask for Abdul if you want to order out. He is so friendly and welcoming and will let you know how much you need for the number of people you have. You will most likely have a lot left over though. The only thing I have had there is the ciku stir fry beef and ciku stir fry chicken that was served with a house salad or hummus with pita bread. I ordered the hummus on the side because I wanted both. This is now one of my favorite restaurants! Oh! And the restaurant is very spacious if you decide to eat there.

Their green salsa and chips are THE best and you can’t go wrong with any of the Tex-Mex options. My favorite is the tortilla soup and fajita salad and my husband’s is the Presidente dish.

Okay so if you want to venture out for some authentic Mexican food, this is one of our favorites. You really can’t go wrong with your selection. My husband often orders the fajita tortas or tacos. My kids love their beef enchiladas or fajita quesadillas or chicken flautas. Their chips and hot sauce are served warm. It’s probably about 20 min away. It’s halfway mark to downtown if you want to venture there one day.
