Food is delicious! Highly recommended! The environment and service is excellent. Thank you to Carlos who really took care of us and making the experience wonderful.
The food was delicious we received excellent speedy service. The ambiance is great, really enjoyed the mariachi and I love how people get celebrated on their birthdays! When we come visit H-Town again we are stopping for sure !! Must try place and the valet parking service is awesome
Came here for a birthday dinner and had a great time! The staff was super friendly, they speak both English and Spanish and provided great recommendations. The tortillas are freshly made out on the patio and the patio has fun photo op walls and little flower decorated gazebos. All very cute and lots of fun. The food was just as good as the ambiance! I tried the quesadillas flor de calabaza. Their green masa has a great flavor and adds more savory flavor to their dishes. I also really enjoyed that you get a giant mug when you order their agua frescas. I had the lemon con pepino and you could tell it was freshly made with little pieces of cucumber. Highly recommend this place if you'd like some delicious food and a cute photo op!
Celebrated my husbands birthday here and it was such a great celebration. The live mariachi was great and the food was delicious. Our server was helpful and brought our food out as soon as she could. The day we went was packed but I understand for the experience. I enjoyed the Mexican decorations and floral decor they had. Great place to bring the entire family. The only negative is the parking. We got valet down the block but they brought our car right to us when we were ready to leave.
Food was good! We ordered chicken tacos and a machete (cilantro tortilla) The natural lemonade was so yummy too!! Would come back for the food and the chips and Salsa were yummy! The weather was nice that day we we sat outside. Not sure how it is inside. I read some reviews saying it's hot but we didn't get that experience since we did sit outside and fall is starting so weather was beautiful. Con's: parking wasn't ideal. We went on a Thursday morning so it was pretty empty. Which was good for us. Music was a bit loud. Otherwise would come back!
This place is much more than just another content shoot, the food is DELICIOUS, the staff are very sweet and helpful, it's great for groups and the family and you'll feel like you've gone to another country once inside our out in their patio. Disclaimer: it's a little pricey. It was two of us and I'm not sure how we spent $98 lol but maybe that was with a 22% tip, can't remember but I do remember having a great time and that's priceless. We ordered: - Horchata Agua Fresca (huge pitcher size so definitely shareable) - Pepino Agua Fresca (these are $10+ fyi) - Chips and Guacamole. Very tasty but we didn't need more chips so I would opt out of it next time. - 6 Birria Tacos (half goat, half res). The consume and fixings were exactly what I needed. - Mocktail Don't remember the name of the Mocktail but they'll come around asking if you'd like this cocktail that they make in front of you which normally has tequila in it, fresh orange juice, Squirt and other things but we got it without alcohol and OMG IT WAS SO GOOD! I'm sure it would've been delicious with tequila in it as well but we weren't wanting it at that moment. Super refreshing and fun to watch them make it! Maybe this is what racked up that bill lol. Overall, it's so worth coming but definitely some things are shareable like them drinks so keeping that in mind for the next time!
