One of my favorite places to go in Houston. The Buenos Aires taco is epic and the Carne Guisada just makes me happy on cool days. Good happy hour and lunch specials.
Bar food of reasonable quality and pretty good cocktails. We went at lunch.
Best patio + outdoor area best vibes in the Montrose/Rice Village area!
Food 5/5 as well.

Under the Volcano is a hidden gem that has been a favorite among locals for over 20 years. The restaurant offers live music on Wednesdays, an amazing menu with homemade quality, and a great deck with an eclectic jukebox. The owner's dedication and passion for this unique establishment make it hard to stay away. The food is exceptional, featuring delicious tacos, tamales, empanadas, and even a standout Monday Steak Night with a tender 16-ounce steak seasoned to perfection. The bartender provides friendly service and fantastic drink recommendations, including the horseradish pomegranate margarita, which has been described as amazing. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and homey, with ample seating both inside and outside. The tacos are highly praised, especially the Buenos Aires, and the craft cocktails made with natural ingredients are enjoyed by many. Despite a minor issue with the moisture in the beef tacos, Under the Volcano remains a must-visit spot for a great dining experience, especially for those interested in trying unique drinks like the Green on Red. It’s a fun place to unwind, with quick service and a welcoming vibe that keeps locals returning year after year.
