Terrible service menu prices didn’t match receipts over charged. We had table of 8 we received two chips and two small salsas charged when asked for more salsa. No one in the restaurant except two other tables and our waitress seemed put out even taking our order -assisting our table. More interested in talking to her friends at the bar. This was my third time back as I’m familiar with some of the staff that worked used to work in PH but we will never return.
Haven’t tasted home authentic Mexican food in a long time , well made with incredible flavors .
Horrible service, used well tequila instead of patron, but charged me for patron (as if I can’t tell the difference), food presented not as advertised.

El Huapango Mexican Restaurant offers a mix of positive experiences and some areas for improvement. The staff is generally friendly and the service is praised for being quick and attentive at times, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. Many customers highlight the flavorful food, with dishes like Chiro pollo with black beans and rice, and alambre with shrimp and pineapple, receiving high praise for their taste and tenderness. Portions are generous, making leftovers a common delight. The restaurant's convenient location off Highway 141 in Grimes makes it easy to access, and the food is often described as excellent, with some noting that they would order again.
However, not all reviews are perfect. Some customers found the tacos dry and lacking flavor, and the queso too thin. The atmosphere can be quiet and lacking music, which may affect the dining experience. There was an instance where a guacamole order was missing but refunded without issue. Service quality varies, with some feeling the server was not attentive or knowledgeable, and a perception of profiling based on nationality was mentioned. Despite these mixed reviews, the overall impression is that El Huapango offers flavorful Mexican food with friendly staff, though experiences can differ depending on the visit.
