Hugo's Invitados

A upscale Mexican restaurant that mixes traditional recipes, with a modern twist. The restaurants vibe is business causal. I could definitely, imagine a few business deals being finalized here over dinner. The service was top notch, as well as the food. I would definitely come backCochinita Pibil- The achiote-marinated braised pork shank fell right of the bone. The entree came with lemongrass rice, oregano-pickled red onions, & spicy sour orange sauce.

This is an Feb 2025 update to my prior review. This used to be my "go to" restaurant for when I have friends fly into town. Their decor is interesting, the drinks are delicious and strong and their menu is almost entirely gluten-free. I have Celiac Disease and this is one of the only local restaurants that I look forward to eating at.They seem to have unfortunately changed up their menu and eliminated the taco plates. They used to have amazing brisket tacos. Now, their food is really expensive and there are no tacos. They seem to have transitioned to a steakhouse menu.We visited on National Margarita Day so they had some drink specials. We sat on the outdoor patio, not realizing that none of the patio heaters had fuel tanks. Service was okay but we did have to go inside a couple of times to ask for stuff since nobody else was outside (pretty empty inside too).Please bring back your tacos!

ALEX GAVE HORRIBLE service and ruined this restaurant for my group. We visited this resturant on Friday and spent $700 with a $150 tip.We loved it so much we came back on Sunday and had the absolute worst experience. ALEX was rude, inappropriate and treated our group like trash. Nonstop attitude, the whole experience after we asked to pay for bottled water instead tap. The speed of service was unacceptable and the food was prepared nowhere near as well as it was on Friday . Alex also made a sexual innuendo to my friend and when we brought the topic up with a manager it was as if she could not care any less about the horrible experience we had just had.Alex asked if we were ready for our check before we had gotten half way through our meal. There was a side of rice with two of the four meals that was undercooked and still crunchy. We made him aware of this issue and he made zero attempts to rectify the situation. I cannot believe the way Alex behaved and treated my group. I have very little if no belief that anything will be changed because the manager seemedto have the same level of customer service.. Support staff and employees behind the bar were fabulous. We will come back and try this again due to the extraordinary experience we had on Friday. I have to say this was the worst dining experience I've had in my life.

Came here for a company awards dinner. They had great service and Aries aka AJ was a great bartender for our group of 80. The chicken breast was juicy and the pureee that came with it paired very well. They offer a back room for large events with a microphone and screen for presentations. They also have a large bar offering numerous drinks n

This was our second visit - our first being before 2020. The place was just as beautiful as we remembered. Upscale Latin/Mexican restaurant. The food was just okay to be honest, for the price, I expected knock your socks off flavor and larger portions. I do understand they use the freshest of ingredients so that's factored in. Service was okay though there ended up being an issue with my bill which was quickly resolved. There are other places I'd probably choose ahead of this one going forward but definitely worth a try if you're interested! Enjoy!

The lamb chops were good . The food overall was cold . Highly disappointed on the customer service . We had to take our food back and although they did remake the food we saw one of the host touch our food they had to remake . If a customer says the food is cold it's cold . She put her fingers all on it . Very unprofessional.The waiter was slow . Granted we had a big group so we get it. The ambiance of the place is cute and great for a good date night for drinks the food is not worth the cost at all personally . Wont be back . Maybe for a drink . But the food no .

Hugo's Invitados is a Mexican restaurant packed with a lot of flavor located in Las Colinas. If you know me I'll order any fish dish and I ordered the cobia (No clue what kinda fish this is but I was down to try.) They did not have the cobia, and instead a red snapper-- which I was OK with. The dish was absolutely DELICIOUS. I loved the fish, and the sauce and vegetables it came with. Packed with flavor, and I was licking my dish clean at the end of dinner. My friend ordered the brisket enchiladas and she was also pleased with her dish. My only complaint (as well as my friends compliant) was I wanted more, I felt my serving of fish was a little on the small side-- and I wanted more! Considering the price, as it is a pricier restaurant, I was a little disappointed for what I paid. Otherwise, the staff was friendly, the location bustling, the restaurant clean, and food delicious. I definitely can see myself returning to try some an additional dish and maybe an appetizer.

I was excited to try this place because I am always in the mood for upscale Mexican. Plus, I was especially excited because I hoped that this restaurant was associated with the Hugo's in Houston, which is a phenomenal restaurant where I had some of the best eating experiences in my life. Sadly, the two Hugo's are not associated.This Hugo's is located in an area of Las Colinas that I never visited before. The restaurant is very attractive. It is modern, upscale, clean, and very sleek. I liked it a lot. We arrived early and found parking in front but there is also valet parking. The menu is somewhat limited in terms of food--the drink menu is longer than the food offerings--but it was sufficient. It has the usuals--apps, salads, tacos, and then features. There is a lot of fish featured. If we were close to water I would have gone with a fish dish, but the fish we did have did not have fishy taste. Everything has an upscale twist. Our server Monica greeted us immediately and we started with two "Top Shelf" margaritas on the rocks. They were phenomenal. Too good in fact. I drank it like juice and was ready for another. This time I tried it as frozen and it was not nearly as good, exactly what Monica had told me. Monica was very attentive until a large group (15-20) arrived and then her attention was directed to them, which is understandable. But she sort of disappeared for us. We started with smoked salmon nachos. They were good and the salmon portion was generous. They needed seasoning though, so we added some of the salsa verde for flavor and they were much better. The kid had brisket tacos and really liked them. The meat was tender and very flavorful. She normally is not a meat eater. I had the Cochinita Pibil, which I remember from the Hugo's-Houston was fantastic. This version was different. Hugo's-Houston pork came wrapped in a banana leaf and was super juicy and tender. The Hugo's-Las Colina pork came on the bone and although it had good flavor and was tender, it was kind of dry, even after the chef poured some kind of broth over it. Overall, it was ok but I was a bit disappointed because I had a different vision in my mind what I was going to get. The wife had Red Snapper and really liked it. She ate it all and the fish was fresh, not fishy tasting. Her main complaint was the lack of something to sop up the broth that surrounded the fish.We had the Tres Leche for dessert and it was very moist.Overall, it was a good, but not great, experience. I like the touch whereby the chef brings out the entrees. The meal was not inexpensive, over $200 with tax and tip.

Had a great lunch. The sauces were very good. We loved their chips and salsa. My mother and I enjoyed our lunch. The seafood enchiladas were good. I most especially loved the green sauce on the enchiladas. The Barbacoa enchiladas were very good and we like the sauce on those as well.

Pretty decent food, but there were some misses. Service it was excellent. Drinks were really good too.The Waygu carne asada was overcooked. I would say well done when it should've been medium to medium rare. As for the salmon, it was a mixed review as some people liked it and others thought it was a little bit dry. We also ordered the appetizers, which were pretty good, the tuna tartare was yummy but the cheese and veggie skewers were okay. As for the dessert, we got the Leche. The darker chocolate one was pretty good, but the white creamy one had a funky aftertaste.Cool vibe plays seems very fun. Do but make sure you ask for the entrées and skip the Leche dessert. .
