My friend and I came here because there was a coupon on the back of an HEB recipt about how you get $5 off if you spend $30. But be careful because this excludes drinks so if you're going to use the coupon, make sure the amount of food you order amounts to $30 or more. When my friend and I were seated, chips and salsa were served right away. We ended up getting the frozen mango margarita and the carne asada. No complaints about either one. They were both good but I definitely think it's overpriced (mango margarita is $14 and the carne asada is $17.99). They do have a happy hour though where you get $2 off margaritas.Other than that, the inside was clean and the service was great- I appreciate all the workers here who made sure my friend and I had a good experience here. I'm not sure if I wil come back since I don't exactly think the food justifies a price but it's not a bad spot.

Fun atmosphere, great service, good food. The skinny margaritas were tasty, the portions were generous, and the new building is very modern and well decorated. There are lots of TVs and a cool bar in the center of the restaurant that would be a great spot to watch the game. I believe our server's name was Pedro (although right after he introduced himself a gust of wind came through the patio and he had to chase after the menu that blew away, so I could be mistaken about the name). We decided it would be better to sit inside, and he quickly and graciously reseated us at a booth indoors, which is where the pic was taken. Pedro gave us some recommendations on what to order, and he seemed to really know the menu and enjoy the food there. My grandmother and I sat and enjoyed our margaritas long after the food was boxed up to take home, and our server made sure we knew we were welcome to sit and talk for as long as we wanted. We will definitely be back, and not just because it's around the corner.

Well, I think it's been a while since I've given one of these out but if I walk out of a restaurant without eating then I have no choice. I heard about this restaurant and decided to stop by for lunch. Nice, clean restaurant. I saw their story and I'm sure they are proud of the upgraded building. Unfortunately, I won't be giving them a chance. Ordered ice tea then asked the bartender if they had green salsa. He said yes and they also have habanero so I asked for both. Well I start to eat the chips with different salsas and they taste good! I order La Paz then add chili con queso whic I asked for the tiny cup portion which is$1.50 on the taco Al carbon. The La Paz is a taco Al carbon with enchilada and cost more. He says it's not $1.50 with that meal but $3.50. Ok whatever, won't argue for $2. As I'm going for my next chip with habanero salsa a huge hair follows it. You have someone shedding back there in prep, second review with the same problem. Decided to pay for my tea and leave. They tell the older owner or manager and everyone just goes to the back. No table touch, no apology, no nothing. Bartender comes back and says "you are good to leave". Funny, not sure what class or life lesson teaches you to allow someone to leave a restaurant without a remedy.

The whole neighborhood had high hopes for this place but i just don't like it. Their service is great everyone is super nice and friendly. Decor is cute i guess not really my style for a mexican place but u know modern i guess. The food is my problem here because everything is dry and greasy. Nothing tastes authentic even the salsa. It used to be good when it was on gessner. No real flavor to it anymore. The plates are big but i'd rather go to chavez.

I love the cheese enchiladas, but only with Monterrey Jack cheese, not American cheese. The special salsas are amazing. My family really likes going there.

Great Mexican food that's in a great location to where I shears stay in Houston. Everyone at the office says it's their favorite place and it was delicious.Walked in during MLB final game between the Astros and Rangers. Place was full of fans. Was seated promptly and my food came hot and quickly. Loved the thin tortillas.

I dined here for lunch a couple of weeks ago. This is a new location of the old and now closed restaurant that was further south on Gessner. It is in a new strip center with plenty of parking out front. Inside it has a modern and airy look with a full bar in the middle and an open kitchen in back. I ordered the beef and chicken fajitas for $20.49. Neither tortillas are homemade so I asked for corn and picked charro for the beans.The complimentary chips and red salsa arrived with the salsa served cool and a good tasting tartness. The entree arrived shortly after and had onions, bell pepper and tomato with the protein on the sizzling platter. The meal came with guacamole and pico de gallo too. The food lacked flavor. I was disappointed in the missing taste and that included the charro beans. With tax and drink my lunch came to over $30 which was way too expensive for the quality I received. It wasn't bad but left a lot to be desired (2.5). Also another interesting fact is their recommended tip percentages are 18, 22 and 25%. I guess the standard 20% is now out of fashion.I give a rounded down 2 score for the underwhelming and expensive fajitas with store bought tortillas. I see no reason to return.

The.stars are not based on food or flavor. If it were just that, But, the bar was backed up. Ordered one margarita before the chips and salsa arrived. The drink didn't get to the table until,.after the food. Next, the portion is WAY too BIG!!! Lower the price by $5, cut the portion by 30% you would profit on less food waste. The service even apologized for the amount of food. The owner also had "favorites" . Lastly, Waze sends you a mile past the actual site. I notified the server; she knew. Oh well, still go, just bring friends, order less, pay less, eat it all and tip WELL!
