Loved it. My wife and I had dinner before going to see Wicked at the Hobby Center. Fantastic meal. For an appetizer we had the ceviche – super tasty and incredible chips that were very crispy. She had the duck and I had the slow roasted pork. Really tasty and fall off the bone meat. The moles and sauces were so delicious. Hugo Rita for happy hour drinks were perfect. The bread pudding for dessert was the best we have had together. Really great service and we are certain we will go again when we move inside the loop.

We went for the Houston Restaurant month. Food was delicious & interesting, beautifully decorated. Plenty of choices between 3 different menus. Definitely worth the visit.

My sisters and I brought our mom here for Mother’s Day and it was pretty busy as expected. The experience was great and we would come back and try their dinner menu. Restaurant is on the finer dining side, not the typical Mexican restaurant with the generous portions and cheaper prices. Parking can be a bit of a headache but at least it is complimentary valet, tip accordingly! Our waiter was great, very friendly, informative of the menu, recommendations were delicious and very attentive for it being a packed house. We ordered an appetizer called lechón and it was very good. It was pork and it came with some blue tortillas super delicious! Warning that sauce is spicy as heck! I ordered the huevos rancheros with my eggs over hard. It definitely isn’t like the cheaper places where the eggs are swimming in sauce (which I LOVE) but the flavors are very good and it is filling with the chopped grilled steak, tortillas and refried beans beneath it all. My mom ordered the chilaquiles and she enjoyed them, said there was plenty of the green sauce. My sisters ordered another huevo ranchero and the chile relleno. They both liked it as well. We all cleaned our plates lol no crumbs left behind. For dessert we ordered the crepas con cajeta and the churros rellenos. Small portions indeed for both but it was plenty after sharing an appetizer and having a full meal. Great place to splurge on every now and then. Friendly staff everywhere. Clean facilities during BUSY BUSY Mother’s day. Would definitely recommend to try out.

Great food. Especially the brunch buffet. It is a little pricey at $42 per person but it honestly is kind of worth it. Valet is complementary so parking was easy. Otherwise it’s be difficult. Everything was delicious. From entrees to dessert. Will definitely come back again.

I haven’t been here since several years ago. Went there to celebrate my husband’s birthday. It was better in my memories. Food selection was okay. Service was not great. As soon as our waiter realized we were not going to order alcohol — he was less attentive and ignored us the majority of the time. I had to get up several times to ask for coffee and silverware. We witnessed him being extremely attentive to other tables around us who ordered alcohol. Not the best experience, not the worst. I wouldn’t go back unless it was a corporate event.

Omg I cannot even tell you how special they make me feel on my bday, first there was a bday card from Hugos, we ordered lechon for appetizer, two drinks, after order carne asada or brava I don’t remember exactly and then dessert churros and crepes, they gave an extra plate with happy birthday wishes. Waiter was extra friendly and helpful also gave me chocolate to dip in my churros. Definitely coming back food was great too and they were very fast to serve the food. Thankyou all for everything

The food was absolutely delicious! The steak was cooked to perfection! Might sound crazy but you gotta try the chapulines aka grasshoppers.
