El Tiempo Cantina truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From the moment I stepped in, the welcoming staff made me feel right at home. The vibrant atmosphere added to the overall dining experience, and the location was perfect. However, it was the incredible food that stole the show. Each dish showcased a perfect blend of flavors, leaving me thoroughly impressed. I can't wait to return and indulge in their delicious offerings again.
We were in town and craved Mexican Food. So glad we came here! This place was amazing! The food was extremely favorable and the customer service was top notch. The portion sizes were good and everything tastes homemade. Even the chips and salsa was great! I loved the atmosphere and the uniforms that the staff wears! You truly feel a family business here. I strongly recommend this place for anyone craving Mexican Food !!
Excellent service, delicious food and perfected ambience. The decor is so pretty and you feel like you’re in Mexico. They start you out with the best green sauce and great chips. I wasn’t a big fan of the red sauce, but the green sauce is terrific. Perfectly creamy and flavorful. The margaritas are great, especially for being a “house” margarita. We shared the beef fajitas. The butter dipping sauce is flavored with a hint of lime. The tortillas are thin and a good size to make a good taco. They have green rice and regular yellow Mexican rice; I preferred the yellow. Our waiter took excellent care of us and the service was fast. Will return for sure! (The lighting is low, so the photos are difficult to see the true presentation, but all was great!)
My husband and I decided to try this place and were very impressed. The restaurant is big, colorful and clean. The decor and staff attire are authentic and fun. The food was really flavorful as well as the cocktail drinks. Will definitely return.
Absolutely delicious food. The prices were a little high and my waitress was a little weird/awkward, hard to hear and I felt like she was trying to rush us out the door but other than that it was a great meal! We'll be back the next time we visit Houston for sure. The queso is super yummy. Margs are good but quite pricey for the size.
Bartender wipes his nose and then grabs a glass. Then he coughed into his hand and tried to serve us our chips n dip. I'm telling him absolutely not do you think you could wash and sanitize your hands. That's pretty much continued throughout our meal
Update 9.11.2023. As good as ever! Prior:Crab enchilada was perfect. Nice light layer of cheese. Enchilada crust just right...not too thick. Margarita patron topped it off nicely
If you are in Houston this definitely the place to go. There were 5 of us and zero complaints. I had the steak fajitas that was cooked to perfection and arrived sizzling as you would expect. The service was great and the waiter attentive even though they were busy.
Our go-to Mexican in Westchase (Gesssner location) or anywhere we're near one of their locations. Amazing chips and salsa, fajitas, margaritas, and mixed plates. There's no wrong option here, but highly recommend the fajitas (any type) and the gold margaritas. Hats off to Julio, Jesus, Horatio, and Mario for service - always above and beyond. A solid choice for Mexican food, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Dank place. They have good food! Portions are large. Service is good. It's pricey, though. Good for group settings.
Parking
They have their own lot so no problem here. Plenty of spaces.
Ambience
They're got a nice ambience here. It's kind of dark when you're away from the sides and windows. Rustic vibes. Large restaurant.
Service
No problems with service. They're attentive and kind.
Food
I love their food! Prices, not so much, but the portions are large.
I had the chicken enchiladas and they're good. Better than what I had at Chuy's. I also had the crispy chicken tacos. Pretty basic. Not in love. But they're very filling. The chicken quesadilla is good. Pretty typical. Overall, the food does no wrong - portions are large, tasty, although not unique.
My coworker had the pork carnitas and seemed to thoroughly enjoy them.
Drinks
I love their margaritas. They have a lot of options. You can choose the brand for their too shelf margaritas as well. They're strong, flavorful. I like that they offer high quality tequilas.
They also offer wine, frozen margaritas, and so much more, but I didn't order those.
