About this business
Vintage photographs of family members provide a charming ambiance. Due in part to the location, this restaurant enjoys a great deal of popularity with artists and business people alike. Outdoor seating is tempting in fair weather. Traditional Tex-Mex dominates the menu, but an unusual alternative is available in the form of Mollejitas, or sweetbreads. Of course, they are not for the faint of heart, so order with caution and enjoy. Finish off your meal with some sopapillas or flan.

best mexican food in town – i absolutely love the ambience!: a quaint grotto that feels like your in a cozy, exotic mexican locale. it's unlike any mexican hole-in-the-walls in town: it's not dirty, it's not grimey, it's not sleazy. the food was amazing! surprisingly big portions for a decent price ... complement it with their equally amazing margaritas and you're in heaven. the staff was a bit slow, but the food more than makes up for that. definitely a chill place to soak in the festive aura ... feels like you're vacationi... read more
Best Mexican in Houston – I would honestly say that this is the best Mexican food in Houston. I don't usually order fajitas, but the fajitas at this place, on the burning charcoals with the butter sauce, are the best I have ever had. You will have to wait, but the bar area is fun, and the wait is never that bad. The prices are higher here than most other Mexican restaurants, but the ambiance and quality of food are, in my opinion, more than worth it.
Best Fajitas.Enchiladas,Tres Leches,Shrimp,Fish,GREAT Service,Everyone Friendly! – Well, what can I say the food is delicious, and very EXCELENTE! The service is great Waiters,Bussers,Hostess, and Managers are very friendly!The food is great from the chips & salsa, to the Enchiladas. But I have a little problem with the tortillas. The ones that were made before were good.The tortillas that they are serving now taste like the ones from Taco Cabana and Chachos.Eveything is excellent except for the tortillas i would appriciate ... read more
best beef fajitas PERIOD – without doubt, the BEST beef fajitas ever - i have a bunch of friends who prefer lupe or papasitos. they must be delusional!!! el tiempo slays them both HANDS DOWN! there is simply no comparison. AND id put the frozen margaritas among the top 3 in town. i dont however largely reccomend anything else on the menu (all tends to be a bit "over cheesed" - for lack of a better word)
the best there is mother f's – man this the best mexican restaurant in all texas. Service is incredible no matter what other people say, dont believe them. margaritas are strong but tasty. Recomend you more than one. And dont forget the food... Man that DELUX MIX GRILL is the best i have ever eaten in all my life... you get treaty nice.. good valet...and sitted quick... i recomend this restaurant to anybody
Best Mexican Food in Houston – This place has delicious food...fajitas best in Houston....plates are very big worth the price...
TIME FOR ANOTHER STAFF MEETING – My comments are this: Managers, get your staff together and discuss possibly sending all staff to a training seminar once in a while. Wait staff, bartenders, bussing staff, including the managers need to be able to handle a busy and popular place like El Tiempo. Your food is very good, a bit pricy, but worth it, your drinks are outstanding, but you need to be competitive in every way in order to continue with your success. If not, word gets around and soon you will find yourself wondering, "w... read more
Great Food, but a little pricey-Should try once. – Great food, but a little on the pricey side. There are so many better restaurants with better prices in Houston.
