I've been here twice and both times I've had a decent experience.
I think this is a great place for drinks and appetizers but I wouldn't go back for lunch or dinner.
I think it's overpriced and lacks good food.
If you aren't too picky with Tex-Mex, definitely give it a try.
Their queso and chips are good but their salsa was bland.
Food is pretty mediocre compared to other Tex-Mex establishments in Houston.
Nevertheless, as I previously stated, I'd still go back for drinks and appetizers.

First of all only street or pay to park lots so be aware.
Very cozy and old school feeling as you walk in.
You get an open view of the kitchen which is cool.
The chips are thicker than average which is nice and they are one of the best things.
The red salsa was ok.
Had flavor but no heat.
The green salsa though.
WOW! That was so good.
Super fresh.
We got the queso with ground beef to start.
Delicious.
I got a mocktail which was just a NA margarita.
Super fresh and delicious and my gf got the hellfire margarita.
She said it was good but not enough spice.
For the mains we got the Mixed Grill Combo.
We got beef and added chicken to it.
The beef was solid.
Chicken had good flavor but was a tiny bit dry.
The sausage was great and the adobo shrimp was good too.
The rice is more tex-mex style( it was fine).
The charro beans though.
One of the best things for the whole meal.
We also added in the shrimp brochette.
Also delicious, hard to go wrong with bacon wrapped shrimp.
The corn tortillas were ok.
The flour were really good.
Both house made.
We also got the Ensanada combo, the fish taco was great, the campecchana was great too.
The shrimp enchilada was fine, definitely add lime juice to it to spruce it up.
We got the refried beans with this dish and they were good.
Definitely get the charro beans though.
The chicharon was a nice surprise, the lightest I have ever had.
Overall we really enjoyed the dinner and will definitely be back.

Everything was great! We were greeted by who I think may have been the manager.
Very polite and good guy.
We were seated next to the food prep which was not a problem.
Chips and dips came out and we ordered queso with ground beef.
When I tell you the queso was DELICIOUS, dont believe me.
TRY IT FOR YOURSELF and let me know what you think! I LOVED IT! Im not normally a chips and queso person but i will be for this place.
I ordered a ground beef chimichanga with no beans and again DELICIOUSNESS! I get midway and find BEANS!!😫 ITS OKAY! I let the waiter know and the manager came and asked if i wanted it remade.
I didnt want to be a bother but he insisted.
That one was even more delicious because there were NO BEANS! :) My daughter ordered a quesadilla and she said it was really good too! Over-all great food and very friendly service from all the staff! I didnt even know that there was one waiter for the whole restaurant.
He was so efficient and awesome! The restaurant wasnt full at this time either! And food came out very fast! I will definitely be back!
