A family favorite. The queso is very good, but DEFINITELY order the guacamole! They will make it fresh in front of you. Its one of my favorite things to eat when I eat out in Houston.

This is an upscale "tex-mex" - the table side guacamole is a must. Spinach enchiladas & empanadas are amazing and probably my favorite salsa in H-town just the right amount of kick w/ great flavor.

It was fun to come to that place on Cinco de Mayo. The place was packed, with mariachi. The food was great, as usual and the service - fast and friendly (well, we're regulars there...).

Never tried other location. The Meyerland location has prompt and attentive service and serves various dishes with outstanding beef quality.

Turn around and head for cafe adobe. The food quality has changed over the years if you want really good trendy tex-mex cafe adobe or chuy's are your best bet.

Not a huge fan of this place except for their fajita party / catered trays. Kids love it though...

If you're in the mood for dessert, get the ice cream. Better than Blue Bell!

Ordered veg fajitas. Did not come with cheese/guacamole- was charged extra $6 for that. Only given 2 tortillas- took a long time to get 2 more. Very expensive for bland Mexican food and slow service.

I was definitely not impressed. The taco meat had no flavor and the enchiladas were just ok. The sangria swirl margarita was tasty though!
