Good Food - Bad Service – The food was good, not great, but if you have time. Don't come here if you plan on having good service. If our food had not eventually come out, we were about to walk out. One waiter for the whole room and one bus boy. Our dinner too way too long. Sorry Teala's, I think we will just go to Tila's down the street. The food is about the same and the service is excellent.

Tealas is always amazing – I can only think of good things to say about Teala's. I have visited many mexican restaurants, as have most people who live in Houston, and can honestly say this restaurant is a cut above. One of my favorite things to do is to have margaritas with my boyfriend or friends on the open patio while we wait for the sizzling fajitas to arrive at our table. Especially after a long day! I like to mix it up on the menu but I have a friend who will ONLY get the shrimp diablo now after having it once. I reall... read more

Teala's--the only Mexican restaurant in Houston I'll go to! – I've been a regular at Teala's for the past few years and can't stop raving about the food, people, and drinks. The margaritas are strong (just the way I like them), the food never ceases to impress, and I've gotten to know the waitstaff personally--they're all so friendly! Whenever I have a large party, I make sure to go to Teala's. They've even closed out the patio for me before! For such a colorful, vibrant, busy place, they're also extremely accomodating. I've... read more

Cinco de badservice? – I was greeted and sat inmidiately as i walked in, a nice surprice for being cinco de Mayo. I waited and exchanged looks of hunger with my friend as we got stuffed with fried tortillas. I knew something was off when we still had not received a menu after thirty minutes. I wondered if my waiter had to fly really quict to Yucatan or Thailand to bring a "special-exotic" menu. When i confronted him with my disapointement and frustration he was quick to s lap me back with a reply : "well...it is cinco de May... read more

Good food. – Nothing ticks me off quite as much as when a restaurant forces me to valet my car 3 feet away from their front door in their own half-empty parking lot. But I've been to Teala's during off hours when they didn't require this. The food has been great each visit. One time I must have been sitting by the bathroom, because the place smelled like raw sewage....which really turned me off to the place. Margarita's were always good. Service was typically average. The restaurant is nice, and has a patio which is nice dur... read more

Remarkable – I don't write many reviews but I just have to for this one. It really is different from your run-of-the-mill mexican restaurants you can find all over Houston. The food is soooo delicious and seems healthy somehow at the same time! I have not had a meal here I did not like, and the thought of it actually makes my mouth water! Fajitas are superb, as well as the chips and salsa which I can never get enough of. Also, try the black bean dip, nachos and guacamole, and all the different kinds of "ritas" are wonderful.... read more

You need to try this! – One of my favorite things to do is come to Teala's after a long day at work, sit on the patio and enjoy a margarita! It has become a tradition with my friends over the last few years. Truly, the patio and even the inside of the restaurant are quite romantic, and in addition, the food is incredible!!! I have many favorites such as chicken alamades or the chilean sea bass. THE most amazing thing, however, is that this restaurant is always consistent. I never wonder if the food will be good- it always IS... read more

Don't know what all the hype is – The margaritas are good, but that is about as far as it goes. The service was ok to good, but the food was not good at all, and the food and margaritas were over priced. I read that this place was supposed to be a good place for drinks and food, but the last few people I talked to about this, had the same experiance i did, not good. Better places are so close, that I will not go back there!

My favorite place to eat! – I grew up eating out at various Mexican restaurants and for me, there is now only one choice and it is Tealas. Try it once and you will agree. It has been a special place to my husband and me for years. Now we have a baby and we take her with us. No surprise-she loves going too! She likes to look around at everything- especially the chandelier- and the staff is very good to her too. Anytime we have company from out of town we bring them here and even a year later they remember what they had to eat... read more
