Everyone loves an original and Berryhill in River Oaks is no exception. Berryhill River Oaks was the first to blend baja-style cuisine and a relaxed seaside atmosphere here in the Bayou City. From its humble beginnings as the first Berryhill restaurant in 1993, Berryhill River Oaks has developed a loyal following from the same community that Walter Berryhill once served from his tamale pushcart starting in the 1920s. Every day, authentic hand-rolled tamales are made from scratch in this restaurant's little kitchen on Revere Street. Visitors also enjoy several other great menu items in…

In Short – The simple decor at this tiny Revere location includes a wonderfully hideous Elvis painting. But it's the food that keeps people coming back to Berryhill. Namesake tamales are good, but the star is the fish taco. Sweet farm-raised catfish fillets are lightly battered and fried, tucked into two corn tortillas, heaped with cilantro and red cabbage threads and drizzled with sweet hot sauce. Don't miss the shrimp-and-avocado salad, punched up with horseradish-spiked remoulade.

Good and Fast
by TJohn1970
I like to eat and this place got the food to me fast, it wasn't overly expensive though a bit more than some I thought it was worth it. Sometimes you pay more and get less. here that wouldn't be the case!
- Pros: just plain good food
- Cons: 0

Good fish tacos, bad sides
by sandydavis
Four adults, 3 kids went to Webster store for Monday special---$1.99 fish tacos. Good buy. Good tacos (especially the fried fish) but amount of sauce/dressing was inconsistent----some tacos barely had any at all, some just right. One of the kid's meals had refried beans that smelled as bad as they tasted. Didn't eat after 1st bite. Another had fries that had so much salt, she refused to eat. One adult complained that a side of corn tasted terrible. Two previous trips to Webster location I ordered tamales and had no complaints (maybe a little expensive, but tasted good). But based on most recent visit, this kitchen better keep it's head in the game before somebody gets sick.

Not as good as it once was
by GigiHa
Berryhill's use to be a pretty good restaurant. It was busy but the staff was friendly and the food was fresh. The last 3 times I've been I've seen a decline in the level of service, taste and presentation and a rise in prices. I'm sorry to see that this is no longer a restaurant I can recommend to a friend or one that I'll be visiting. It's turned from a nice place to have a tasty mexican lunch to a high priced Taco Bell.
