Only 3 of us and yes we needed to split the bill. Why so difficult? It took 30+ minutes and me getting up looking for waiter until approached by management, for the second time to get him to take the bill. Then another 10
minutes to bring bill back with our cards. This is ridiculous!!!! And so disappointing because I chose this place for a small reunion of FirstCity co-worker. My to go order at 4:51 and at 5:32 we are still waiting for waiter to return with our cards....

I live in Kentucky but I haven't been to Houston in many years. Came back to Houston with my fiance. She loved, loved and loved Houston. My cousin picked us up and took us to El Tiempo. Food was amazing. Fajitas were tender. Tortillas were on point. Salsa was the shit and the staff, the best. We recommend El Tiempo if you want good service and good food. Hey, dont take my word for it. Go try it out for yourself.

So I haven't been here in years but figured I'd try it out again tonight. It was good. Above average. I ordered the beef fajitas. I believe I read they use a filet cut. While tender, it is definitely not one of my favorite cuts. Low marble, not very forgiving. You have to really cook it perfectly to balance rendering the hard fat without cooking it tough. Ironically, outside skirt is one of my favorites. Why they don't just do the outside skirt really well is beyond...
