- EElijahHouston •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe wait was a tad long even with a reservation (but they can’t really be blamed that Valentine’s Day happened to fall on a Friday anyhow) Once we were seated we had waters brought out and our very friendly server took incredible care of my partner and I. The food was delicious and everything I hoped it would be, there were two live music groups walking around and playing great music as well which added great atmosphere. Overall I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone, I’m sure you’ll be seated much faster on a better night as well so I wouldn’t bet on knocking this place because of it.More infoArnaldo Richards' PicosPrice: Expensive• Regional Mexican• Upper Kirby / Shepherd Corridor•4.8
