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.

Great Fajita – This place offers one of the best fajita in town. I particularly like quail fajita here. I tried different tex-mex places every weekend, no place can really match the taste of the quail here. I love green rice and warm salsa also. This place is a bit too noisy.
Fajita Loco – The best mexican restaurant in Houston bar none. I am a Mexican Food enthusiast and I can say that their chicken fajitas are the best I've ever eaten. The menu is robust but can get pricy. The fajitas for one are enough for two, which helps. Magaritas will knock your socks off. Be careful! Richmond location is a happening happy hour. Bottom line, if you haven't eaten here, it's a must!
Cynderilla – This place has GREAT drinks....but be very careful. The alcohol content in those bad boys could start a forest fire. Just a bit of information, take it slow because they will bit back.
Can't get any better – I have been to El Tiempo before but recently I went for my birthday dinner and I had the best time. Food is outstanding and the waiters are the best around. Fun place, great staff and EXCELLENT FOOD/Margaritas!
This is the best place in the world!!! – I love this restaurant! It makes me happy, it has the best fajitas, and the service is excellent. The scene is very authentic and fun. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a real love for mexican cuisine and having a good time.
great fajitas – I really enjoyed the margaritas and fajitas - but beware the margaritas knock you off your feet. I do not like how you have to valet park in the parking lot closest to the door at the Richmond store - but don't get me started.
Damn, that's good stuff! – Everywhere I go, I order a margarita on the rocks, no salt. Same thing happened when I went to El Tiempo Cantina. First thing I noticed was the large margarita glass it came in, not like other places that serve them in plastic cups (YUCK!). Then I tasted it. Wonderful! It has a strange sweetness to it. Definitly the best Rita I have ever experienced. Add the Latin music and people dancing on the bar and you have got one happening place!
muey caliente!!! =^..^= – They have GREEN avocado sauce that they bring out with the salsa. This is one thing that NOT many Mexican Restaurants do. I love that stuff and El Tiempo does make this very well tastes great. The Crab and shrimp enchiladas are exquisite. They make you just smile. I always ask for Jalepenoes fresh and pickled. They have GREAT jalepenoes. Service is better than it was. Dinner is crowded but I like going for lunch. Also, they always have Don Julio waiting for me when I walk in. This is always a good t... read more
Great scene and margaritas – This is not only my favorite Tex-Mex in Houston (particularly the fajitas and the queso), but my favorite place for a margarita and a great place to "see and be seen". I highly recommend it. I'll probably see you there!
