Everything was great except the table next to us had kids and the parents let them run around the restaurant instead of sitting in their seats. The fajitas and the shrimp with jalapeños and bacon wrapped around them were delicious.

Best fajita I’ve ever had in my entire life. I don’t know why anyone would order anything else at this point they were so good.

At first, I didn’t like how high the prices were, and how dark it was on inside. After all, Tex-Mex joints are a dime a dozen around here. However, the food was excellent. Large portions, and the staff is super attentive and friendly, they never let my unsweetened iced tea go below half. It’s also pretty cool that you get to mix your own guacamole. The green rice is legendary. I had the crab and bacon quesadillas- it was tasty and fresh.

I went ahead and got a half order of beef quesadillas and oh my God they were delicious. My wife decided to get the Tres Leches cake and could not believe it. It's literally the best I have ever had in my life. Trust me on this!!

First time here, & before anything, let me tell you to bring a sweater or jacket it is cold in here. Food here is spectacular 😋 very tasty, and very enjoyable. Good amount of portions for what toy pay for. Drinks are superb visually appealing, and kick a punch 👊 👌 service is on point attentive, respectful, & quick to see if there is an empty cup or plate. Come and enjoy and feast 😉

First time at this location. Nice ambiance, and nice interior decoration. I like music and food. I recommend the soft taco with ground meat. The cilantro rice and refried beans soft the way I like it.

Highly recommend eating here when in Houston. Service was awesome and food was spot on.

Ordered the cheese enchiladas and requested Chile con queso on top instead of red salsa and they said no problem. Everything was really good and definitely Tex mex style. Someone else had the burrito with pork and said the flavor was good but needed more spice.

The food was fantastic. A bit more expensive than other places that are similar,but quality counts. We're taken care of well during meal keeping drinks full. Quiet and great place to eat and have a conversation.

The service was really good and the food was delicious. I had the Chile Relleno with beef and cheese with the green rice and charro beans. Sooo good. The kids enjoyed their meals as well but next time, I'll be sure to order an adult meal for the 11yo because he had two kids meals. It seems like the walls echoed everyone's conversation so it was quite loud inside.
