El Tiempo Cantina- Washington

There should be zero hesitation, come here if you haven't tried it already. I was really surprised when I saw that they had albondiga soup and it was phenomenal. I'm from a border town and I always search for more authentic dishes and I've never been able to find this in Houston, except for here. Please enjoy! Besides this, the parking typically offers valet, more like you don't have a choice but it's nice. It is more on the expensive side but it's worth eating here because of the food and the serving professionals.

The food is is great! The Parrilladas are a great option for the family! An elevated iron skillet of meat varieties that you choose. For instance, I ordered 2 hard taco shells and selected steak and pork from the skillet. Plenty of salsas, cheese, pico, rice and beans to accompany the meal! Even the kids can select their meats from the skillet and order tortillas on the side.

Always one of the best Mexican spots in Houston. You cannot go wrong with their food! My go to favorite is the jumbo lump Crab Enchiladas!! It’s just not the same at other locations from this one on Washington! Highly recommend. Also, they have the best cilantro rice! It’s a great family restaurant as well. My son loves their cheese quesadillas.

El Tiempo Our family went to El Tiempo on Cinco De Mayo. Wow! The place was packed for the lunch crowd. However, we were seated very quickly amongst the crowded and loud restaurant. There was a very large party right next to us, so we almost had to shout to carry on our own conversation. The servers were quite busy giving fairly prompt service given the circumstances. The food, however, made up for the annoying noise. All dishes were excellent and very large portions. Definitely worth a trip back here on a less-popular day.

We’ll if you want Tex mex this is the place. We stuffed ourselves on the fajita special and the service was awesome. Also greatly enjoyed the deep fried ice cream (was legit) and the tres leches cake. Very delicious. Never though sipping meat in butter would taste so good. Guillermo took excellent care of us, kept the drinks full and was very patient as we had a hard time deciding what to eat.

As a visitor to this fine city, I am rewarded with some of the best Mexican food I have ever had the honor to taste. Incredible spices, cooked to perfection. Looking around this very busy place of appetizing bliss, all I witnessed was delicious plate after plate of satisfying goodness. I will be back as often as possible. The service was outstanding, impeccably on time and the food piping hot. They fulfill your every request. May I and suggest sitting in the back patio area for a classic look of Mexican delight.
