It's me and my cousin fave spot to go and have drinks and food at the bar while watching sports/having conversation in a great setting. We also do our bday celebration toast there occasionally and they always do a celebratory cake and song for us!

This the best Tex mex and Mexican in Texas hands down.
The girls at my table were new to Texas and to Tex Mex. El tiempo came through clutch , and provided one of the girls with the “best margarita ever” in her life.
The meats were so savory, and our vegetarian was even in heaven.
Tortillas fresh, drinks icy, and service commendable. I will be back soon!
Update: 12-3-2023:
I have returned and this place is better than ever. Everything is super delicious , the margaritas extra cold and delicious, service is so on par and anticipatory I didn’t have to think. Green and red salsas , best queso in the world, garlicky delicious guacamole , homemade chips and tortillas in house, and every piece of meat is tender , melt in your mouth .

We ordered Crab nachos & Chicken fajita Nachos on Door Dash. We received a chalupa and a beef taco. I called & drove to the restaurant. The manager was so gracious- offering to remake our order fresh @ no charge. Not only is the food delicious - the service is stellar! We’ll happily order and dine in at this location again 👍🏽

The chips and salsa to start were really good. I loved the thin crispy tortilla chips. We ordered the chile con queso, beef fajitas and chicken enchiladas. I recommend the queso and steak fajitas, I will go back to have again. I would skip the enchilada, nothing special. We also had margaritas, one spicy and one regular, very good and strong. The service was so quick, everything we ordered came to the table within a few minutes of ordering it.

Delicious food with a great vibe. 2 story with plenty of seating. Everything was good although I will say it's on the pricier side. Valet is complementary. Got seated super fast and again the food was delicious. If you get seated in the top floor then you can get a pretty nice view of Westheimer.

Wonderful late lunch at El Tiempo. Missed the lunch specials by an hour. Oh well. Carnitas were so good and the presentation even better. Homemade tortillas were delicioso 😋 . The enchiladas were good. Rice and charro beans were sabroso. Chips were fresh, warm ad crunchy. Salsas were nice especially the green one because had a bit of a kick. Tres Leches was a different, fluffier version than im used to although bueno. The experience was great. Didn't make upstairs but between the restrooms and the stairwell they took me back to La Strada Brunch days gone by. Recommend . Will return

Perfect place for a large group on Sunday afternoon. We celebrated an 18th birthday in the family and there was room for us at around 1pm. It was great. The food was wonderful. The staff were attentive. The atmosphere was inviting and uplifting. Good experience overall.
