This Hector's deserves at least 3.5 stars so I'm rounding up to 4. I've been to the other location on Main and this place has more of a fun atmosphere and a full bar. One guy was manning the restaurant and did a fantastic job taking care of us and the three other parties dining on an early Sunday afternoon. The Banda band didn't come on till much later (6pm), so it was quiet enough for us to talk. The jalapeños stuffed with shrimp and cheese, oysters caliente and ceviche were delicious. Overall, we had a great experience and we'd return for the band, drinks and seafood!

We visited while waiting for a family event, heard place was good. They do not disappoint. They have nice waiters friendly, but the drinks are just amazing. Lots of sitting love the atmosphere loved the art on the walls. A must if ever back!!

It's too loud, it's too obnoxious, it's too AMAZING! If you're Mexican and grew up in loud backyard fiestas with live bandas or DJ's that went too hard on the base and you miss those days, then Hector's is the place for you. It's definitely one of my go to's in DTSA on a Sunday night when everywhere else is closing down. Hector's just feels like home with the friendly staff and the talented players bumping music all night long.Food is decent but you come here for the vibe. Cocktails and beer buckets are always a good choice.

Yup, read the reviews and still decided to come here because of some cravings. As soon as you walk in, you will notice the live band that's playing loud music. If you want to be entertained, this is the place to go. I definitely wouldn't recommend going on a first date, for example, because it will be difficult to hear each other. Had to check around and noticed NO ONE was talking to each other at other tables. The restaurant is plenty big with lots of tables and seating but it does feel tight and crowded. The restroom was super dirty with the entire floor wet of I don't know what (yikes!).We ordered the cucumber limon cocktail and the Mexican lolipop. It was good and I want to say the bar is the most attractive feature in the restaurant. To eat, we ordered the agua chiles, chicken mole and empanadas de camaron. All very good. And all very expensive. With this restaurant in Santa Ana and so much competition around, I wouldn't venture here again.

The Shrimp they served was old and over cooked. The shrimp turned into mush when you tried to peel it.

Just ok. Nothing special. Waitress needs a few lessons on customer service. Service was slow and tacos were not worth the money. Maybe they were having an off day im not sure how you an be so slow with a total of 6 people in the restaurant.
