Came for dinner before a rockets game and glad we did! Great service by server/bartender. The tostadas and wings were very flavorful.

The bartender was super friendly and helpful in choosing a margarita. I tried the mango infused margarita. I like the fig infused shot. Would definitely come back.

El Big Bad was a major waste of time, I do NOT recommend this place at all. The size of a Mezcal neat pour was laughable, when the bartender put the glass down in front of me I seriously thought it was empty. BY FAR the WEAKEST pour I have ever received anywhere!!!!!!!!!....OH???..and of course the bartenders don't care because they put an automatic 20% gratuity on the check and do NOT tell you that gratuity was added when dropping the check in hopes they get double gratted, the place is a ripoff and you have to walk up 2 staircases to use the bathroom. If there is a worse bar in Downtown Houston I would be surprised........................

My partner and I stopped by Sunday night on a whim. I loved every minute of dining at El Big Bad! The food was amazing and it was evident everything was prepared fresh with quality ingredients. We got the chips and queso, burger with fries and pollo asado tacos with rice and beans. This place easily has the best queso I have ever had. We also got a few drinks starting with the strawberry infused tequila margaritas. They have a plethora of infused tequilas; something around 30+ if I remember correctly.. Naturally we tried the tequila flight which comes with 3 infused tequila shots to try. They were all great except the key lime which we both agreed was not our favorite.

The REAL TREAT was the bartender John. His wittiness and attention to detail is unmatched! He had plenty of suggestions and constantly made sure everything met our expectations. Also compliments to the chef because he did his thing! I Can’t wait for us to visit again.

This place is not what it used to be. It's still cool, but service is seriously lacking.

Amazing service from our bartender. She kept the vibe chill and funny. I think I found the bar I feel most comfortable going alone to and be ok with.

P.S. they have hooks under the bar. How many bars do you see with hooks under the bar???

Lovely, curt service, Great booze, chilled out vibes and friendly staff. You can't ask for more from a bar - and the food's priced lower than restaurants in the area, so I'll definitely be returning if only just for that.
