The margaritas will either make your day awesome or end it.
Matthew ValdezJanuary 8, 2012After 2am, don't worry about ordering a drink. They will just bring you water.
William HMarch 31, 2014Absolutely terrible! Awful service, awful food, awful drinks, awful price! Worst Mexican restaurant I have been to yet. Save yourself time, money, and disappointment by going somewhere else!!
The Pastor alacart is way tasty. Agreed the service isn't always great but the food certainly is.
This Houston institution continues to serve bad Mexican food for drunk palates....
Howard HuffstutlerMay 16, 2012Run don't walk away from this place. Ate here for years until found a cockroach in the charro beans! Pointed it out to management and they acted like business as usual. Never again!
Mike SnowMay 4, 2012BE CAREFUL! Don't eat the food. My wife and I and our friends got VERY sick here recently. Not a safe place to eat, Not to mention their infamous roach problem.
kristen salinasMay 26, 2010Agreed, the service sucks everytime I come. Food is ok, but for midnight and beyond...does it really matter?
Kristina BralySeptember 10, 2011Do not come here for breakfast, totally different story. Bland, lukewarm, not on par with usual Mexican breakfasts.
Rick YoungJanuary 24, 2011Horrible service, food was cold, had bones in the chk, stale chips. Do not come here!
