    Every time I’ve been to Armando’s it’s been a 5 star experience. This time I gave it 4 stars due to the noise level. Was it overly LOUD due to the majority of 20-30 year olds dining in Armando’s. I would say yes as I understand Thursdays are dance night and it was a livelier crowd than usual. TIP: Don’t go on Thursdays unless you really DONT want to hear the people you’re with.

    The service is the standout here. Drinks are great, and the queso is good… The salsa could use a little help however, but this is a great spot for date night or families. A Houston Institution!

    Took over 15 minutes for someone to take drink order. Service was slow and very unorganized. Food was just ok.

    The food is always great, so different than lots of Mexican restaurants. To of the line taste. Only problems, our server did not check by with us much. Twice had to flag him down to get tea and once for more sauce for the chips. Been here lots of time, food as good as always but the service is not the kind we normally get at Armandos. Still will go back for food and hopefully a different server.
