About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for groups
Good for special occasions

Best fajitas in Houston are right here in the Heights! Mouth-watering skirt steak is marinated then charred medium-rare over a mesquite fire. From our house made tortillas and chips, smoked meat tamales and homemade tres leches down to our fresh squeezed margaritas and ice-cold beer, there's no better spot for Texas-Mex. See you soon!

One of the worst service experiences ever. I ordered soup as an appetizer and it came with the entree so I sent it back. Was charged for it and didn’t realize until after we paid. The manager took 10 minutes to try to remove the charge and I finally gave up and left out of frustration. Service was terribly slow and it wasn’t a busy night. Food was good but not good enough to make up for the lousy experience.

We'll assume you were just having a bad day; therefore, I would like to personally invite you back for a do-over as that review does not reflect our service or our business. You may reach out to my personal cell phone number, (832)391-1368 to coordinate a time. Thank you and Happy Holidays.

The food was tasty. Service was great, at first. It did take a while to get the appetizers to the table. Main courses came out soon after. They forgot a few little items. Trying to find help once the main courses arrived was frustrating. We needed to ask several times for a forgotten cup of milk, extra plates, etc. We were celebrating a birthday. We all sat waiting for at least 20-30 minutes after eating for our birthday boy to receive his dessert and candle. We are a patient group. This time we had a 1 and 4 year old with us. The extra time it took to end the evening was excessive.

Food was pretty average. Drinks a little less. Ordered 1 pitcher of margarita and the total for just the pitcher was a little over $110. Not to mention it was full of ice too. Go somewhere else if you plan on drinking.

Food was good, a little on the pricier side for drinks. But we went for Cinco de Mayo and loved it!
