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.

Customer Service? – Terrible service. I was told I had to valet or park yourself myself in the street. Second, my party if six was made to get up AFTER we had been seated because we were not ordering dinner - this after we had ordered six margaritas at $8 a pop. Food was comparable to Taco Cabana at 4 star restaurant prices. I will never return.
food of the gods – Let it be known that El Tiempo Cantina has the three pillars of excellence... the opposite sex, stiff drinks, and highest quality fare. The mixed grill for 2 feeds at least 4, the women during happy hour are hot and wild, and the atmosphere is electric.
decent if overpriced texmex – Come here for decent tex mex and loud crowds.. The dishes are pretty big and also highly priced for texmex.
Worth Every Penny! – The Melon Margarita's here are the best I've ever had! The atmosphere is really relaxing too. Be sure to also try the lobster!!
I've got 2 words for you... – CRAB ENCHILADAS!!!! A perfect meal is the rice and beans and crab enchiladas!! OK and a margarita or two. But the crab enchiladas. Have I mentioned just how much I love them. I go to El Tiempo quite frequently and I can't tell you about anything else on the menu because I've never gotten past the CRAB ENCHILADAS.
2 is the absolute limit! – These are wonderful ritas!!! The BEST! Food is a little overpriced for what you get - still, fills you up and stuffs you! The shrimp are outstanding. So-so on the enchiladas. Very good guacamole. Waiters barely speak english and are very nice.
The Laurenzos have done it again – I invited some friends of mine to meet up with me for happy hour and dinner to follow at El Tiempo. The best-looking happy hour crowd in Houston, Period! I have found my favorite Margarita and fajitas in town. You cannot miss the authentic Mexican breakfast. It is a really great value for the buck-the portions are huge. The service is warm and consistent.
HOLD ON TIGHT!! – Strongest Margarita in Town!! The cups are small but one is enough!! My husband is 6'4", 215lbs, not a light weight, is all giggles after one of these bad boys!! Not to mention their faijtas are killer!!!
awsome food & margritas – I've eaten there MANY times and sent tons of my friends... no one has EVER been disappointed. Blanca and her staff are the BEST IN HOUSTON...
