El Tiempo Cantina - Richmond

Not all El Tiempo locations are created equal. We’ve been to every one in Houston and surrounding areas, and the Richmond location is a hidden neighborhood gem. The quality of food and service is consistently excellent. We always eat at the bar, and the attentiveness and friendliness are very much appreciated. We’ve been going to this location for years, and we’ll keep going back.

Second time to eat at one of the El Tiempo establishments and both times it was a 5 star experience! The service really can’t be beat and the food is wonderful. I highly recommend the Carnitas. It’s slow cooked and then I think they deep fry it after. It’s served in a hot pot type dish and you eat it with tortillas. We split the 1/2 pound and it was way more than enough. My husband can eat alot too! Their guacamole is super good as well. If you like super spicy hot sauce they do have a habanero sauce for $1.99 you can ask for. The parking here is a little odd so don’t pass it up. You’ll drive down the side of the building to the parking lot. They have valet parking or you can park along the fence on your own.

This is the place my girlfriend and I go whenever we want a nice night out or we are celebrating any moments. The service is absolutely amazing and the food is even better. We have been here 5 times and every time we come, we are both impressed by the hospitality and the food. I couldn’t speak highly enough of El Tiempo and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. Our favorites are the Pechuga Domenico and the Fajitas! Highly recommend both of them.
