    I took my daughters to lunch the day after Christmas and we had such a good time. Our server was on top of service and even my 12 year old kept talking about how much she loved our her. We had the queso for an appetizer and it was on point. Good queso is a nonnegotiable in our household. I had the shrimp and elote tacos which were delicious! And I can’t forget to mention the drinks. The Como la Flor was so light and refreshing with its jalapeño infused tequila and hibiscus ice cube. We will definitely be returning!

    Food and service were both wonderful. Really enjoyed the desserts, too. They were so good, and the flan with the cotton candy was very whimsical. Loved it and will be back.

    I had the pleasure of dining at Ojo de Agua in the River Oaks District, and I must say, it's hands-down the best Mexican food I've ever had in Houston! The tacos were incredibly flavorful, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that truly shone through. But the real standout for me was the ceviche - it was absolute perfection. The combination of tender seafood, zesty lime juice, and subtle spices was truly unforgettable. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure our every need was met. If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine, do yourself a favor and get to Ojo de Agua ASAP. You won't regret it!
