“El Tiempo Cantina on Washington Avenue: A Houston Staple

El Tiempo Cantina on Washington Avenue is truly a Houston institution. Every time I’m in town, I make it a priority to dine here, and it never disappoints. The beef fajitas, served with flavorful cilantro rice and paired with a perfectly blended frozen margarita, are a classic combo that somehow always tastes exactly as I remember—whether it’s been a week or a year since my last visit.

But what really sets El Tiempo apart is the incredible staff. It’s rare these days to find a place where you’re greeted by familiar faces, where the servers remember your name, or even ask about your family. Their warmth and genuine hospitality make every meal feel like a homecoming. El Tiempo isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to feel connected, making it a must-visit whenever I'm in Houston.“

“I recently visited Escalante’s in Town and Country, and Valeria made the experience unforgettable. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations throughout the meal. The food was delicious, and the drinks were spot on. Valeria suggested a tequila shot that was fantastic, enhancing the entire dining experience. Overall, the service and atmosphere were top-notch. I highly recommend asking for Valeria if you want great service and a perfect dining experience!

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating!“

“Second time here and the food was as good as first time. They’re very nice and kid friendly. Servers are great. We really enjoyed it.“

“You have to try the tamales at Johnnys! I am a die hard tamale lover and the tamales were delicious. My recommendation would be the tamales (obviously), fish tacos, tres leches, churros, and chips & salsa! Our waiter was incredible! He was very welcoming, attentive, and polite. Service is extremely important and depending on your waiter and restaurant, it can be hit or miss. However, that was not the case during our visit. Hospitality was prioritized which was evident after meeting both manager and owner. Great experience!“

“We had a wonderful dinner with friends last night at Good Co. Cantina! Everything from the service (Jose was our waiter), to the cocktails (Mexican mule was delicious), and the Parrillada Familiar was excellent.“

“I have been going here before the fire. I still see the regular customers same as myself still going. Very good food and service!“

“Salsa is top notch and margaritas are truly the best in Houston.“

“The food was very good. We drive about 45 minutes to find here. The shelf margarita was great! I had the shrimp,steak, and chicken fajita with salad- very enjoyable. Since I don't eat pork, I was extremely happy that the waitress was familiar with the menu items and could tell me food products with bacon/lard.“

“Good food , Good service , Good Margaritas“

“We love this restaurant! We eat at Los Tios in Sugar Land every week, often going more than once in a single day. The food is fantastic, and the prices are great. And, the service is the best! I highly recommend Los Tios.“

“Today I went for brunch with some friends that were from out of town and were craving Mexican food. So I decided to take them to Escalante’s. We got the delicious fajitas we tried the avocado toast and mimosas! The manager Victor checked on us and the server Denzel was amazing! I highly recommend this spot!“

“Me and my husband go here for our anniversary and our birthdays best mexican restaurant and food in spring branch ?“

“A Houston original and one of the best texmex restaurants around. They are known for their fajitas; they're well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I have always been impressed with their service, after maybe 40 visits over the years and several locations, I have never had anything but great service even when they're extremely busy. That alone is a big reason why I choose them. It's a quality place, if you haven't been you're missing out.“

“Love our Spring Branch icon !!❤️❤️“

“What a great way to start my day. I was there when they opened today and the food hit the spot. Best tacos in Houston. And the smiles and welcome from the friendly staff only made it better. 5-stars for sure“

“Vivacious gave us a great welcoming which made the food taste even better. She created a welcoming atmosphere and John was a great bartender who helped me with anything I asked while I sat at the bar. The customer service alone will have me coming back. Food amazing as always. Bring back nookies though“

“Today we visited Papasito in The Hilton Americas Hotel in Houston. Chase and Samantha make a wonderful job servings and exceeding our expectations in all. Great work Chase, keep the good work!!! Jose Luis & Rosa“

“I live in Charlotte ,NC and I’m in Houston visiting my daughter for her wedding and my 60th birthday. My birthday dinner was at Gringos and it was amazing! Chips and queso were absolutely delicious! Head waiter(forgot the young man’s name) was so sweet, and genuinely amazing! Would recommend and will definitely visit again the next time I’m in Houston! 10/10 5 ⭐️“

“Tried a new restaurant in the neighborhood and was very pleasantly impressed. First, manager Ana is the best! She cares about her customers and her food. Queso is great consistency and the addition of fresh cilantro is a nice addition. Chips are crispy. Excellent fajitas from the outer skirt steak. Very tender and the outer skirt is very important to get that. Tortillas are house made and great. Generous portions. Ordered fajitas and I’ve got leftovers for tomorrow. I’ll dine there again!“

“EVERY-TIME we come to Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen, we leave smiling, full and wanting to come back. The food was fresh, delicious and portioned NOT to engorge me! Sometimes, ya even bump into the woman herself!!! Sylvia is absolutely delightful, charming and intelligent. If you’ve not been, definitely start with enchiladas!! I like “The Alice” but it’s not always on the menu….. ask anyway….. nudge nudge!!“

“I could be a bit biased since I worked at Chuys years and years ago, but what I can say is years later they still live up to their name and their honesty fast service fresh food the food is always hot. The service is always fast and great!!!!“

“EDIT 2: Prices up and quality down. Rarely go now. Still love the employees though.
EDIT: For the second time a manager told me they were closed and there was fifteen minutes to close. We are regulars and tip the great staff well. If you want to close before the published time then change your hours. Inexcusable laziness and I'm sure ownership would not approve. If this happens again I will adjust my rating accordingly.
Top five Mexican slash Tex Mex.in Houston. Great and sincere service. Margaritas very good and personalized exactly if you like.“

“pre-birthday celebration I have been coming to Houston Molina's for 25 years. Love it so much! ❤️“

“Great! Just like old times.“

“My BMW advisor suggested this place & the shuttle brought me here while I waited for my vehicle to be serviced. Outstanding service , quality food & very good Drinks + Family owned. The Steak had NO FAT & Homemade tortillas - that you can watch being made. This place is a MUST TRY - if you are in the area.

(The area the restaurant is in is iffy but right near the expressway & dealers.)“

“Great staff and the chiles rellenos were so good!!“

“We had a wonderful dinner with friends last night at Good Co. Cantina! Everything from the service (Jose was our waiter), to the cocktails (Mexican mule was delicious), and the Parrillada Familiar was excellent.“

“Valencia's Tex-Mex Garage catered an event for me yesterday and they were amazing to work with! The breakfast tacos were fantastic and the homemade tortillas....yummy! I highly recommend them as a "go-to" for a meal but also for catering! Love supporting a local, family-owned company!“

“Wow. The fajita is mouth-watering here. A HUGE difference compared to n****** next door... awesome outdoor patio with shade and a nice view of navigation blvd. Juicy, tender fajita in my quesadillas. Muchisimas gracias El Tiempo. We will be back.“

“We went on a Thursday night it was not too crowded your serve was very nice and keep coming back to check on us“

“Bodegas Tacos Shop is absolutely the best place in the Museum District for a quick bite and awesome food... Bodegas Tacos Shop - Restaurant, located near the Houston Museum and Arts District area, has plenty parking (both street level or paid), great dive bar and cocktails, played Latin music, and an extremely courteous staff. $$“

“I like to eat here a lot, I'm a fan of their margaritas. But I tend to have a lot of conflict with the service here, my servers have always had an attitude that makes me want to go back. I try not to give it any importance. I recommend the Fajitas, its really good, and hearing the protein on the grill on the table is amazing and pleasant!!“

“I remember the first Torchy's in Houston. The chain has grown and put many others.

Secret is what I harp about always...
Customer Service. Great service with a smile.

The people selected to work there want to work and be there. Great choices

Prices are OK food is good.“

“I love a strawberry margarita and the ones I had here were so good! Probably should have had just one but that's neither here nor there. The pollo tropical was very good! Very spicy with a little sweet and the veggies were fresh and perfectly cooked. Our server was super sweet, all in all it was a perfect evening.“

“A hidden gem in Spring Branch! Always fast and always good, and very responsibly priced! Carmen is THE BEST server and makes a helluva margarita!! They should name it after her!“

“Great food classic Molina's great chips as well as love the antique look inside i remember the molinas on kirby and 59 years ago still has the same great taste and they have free refills great place“

“Their breakfast tacos are delicious“

“So this is an interesting concept. More focused toward take out and catering, we chose to dine in. The fajitas were very good, though I do feel slightly small portion of meat. The handmade corn tortillas were amazing and totally made up for smaller meat portion than I’m used to. The tortilla was fluffy, warm, and perfect. The charro beans were also a wow factor for me as well as the rice. Don’t get me started on the flautas. Everything we had was so good. I almost forgot the salsa had a great kick, and there was this creamy sauce that reminded me of lava sauce. Try this place I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.“
