Loved the ambience, the convenient location downtown and the food selection!

Awesome place for lunch - multiple places with various foods, coffee shop and a bar - all underground in the Bank of America tower. Also a lot of great space to study or work. And a great hangout area with lots of chairs, shuffle board, kicker and ping pong table - free for public. Empty on weekends.This was an awesome discovery for me in Houston!

The more the tunnels are updated, the more exciting they become! The ambience was very cool especially with different areas to hang out and even play games! I will be writing a review for the excellent buffet style lunch we had at La Taquiza but definitely an unexpected memorable lunch :)

Understory in Downtown Houston offers a great atmosphere for lunch and coursework, providing ample seating areas with convenient access to plug-in your electronics. Suitable spot to tie in both lunch, and productivity.

I love the place's aesthetic! It's the perfect place to study alone or with friends with cornhole or foosball as study breaks! The restroom is so clean. I love the plentiful table/seating options and natural light that comes in.

Stopped by for a quick eat while exploring downtown. One of the only places I've been to have a live DJ during lunch, so that was a fun surprise. Additionally, all the lunch options here look amazing. I highly recommend La Taquiza.

Great options for food, but be careful coming during the lunch rush. You can be waiting for food up to 30 mins, so order ahead if you can!

I didn’t know about this place! Hopefully they add more shops and food/ coffee places! I had such a good time exploring, the food was good and I got to see parts of the city I otherwise wouldn’t

More than 35 minutes waiting in line to pay because they only have one cashier, Too expensive 27.99 for a buffet and 7 dls for a medium glass for coffee, which does not have milk or sugar because the coffee already has piloncillo and cinnamon, which in Personally, I don't like that combination, the chicharrón in sauce, you had to use a fishing rod to grab the chicharrón, all the dishes were very crowded and the place where people walk to grab the food was very small, 10 minutes to wait for one spoon and another 10 so that my wife could grab coffee because it was finished, they are not aware of the meals that run out or the meat runs out, the only delicious thing is the golden potato cubes and all the different kinds of sauces.And if you look at the videos they make at the end, they put all the pots on the floor.

I love this concept of a place for community in this busy part of the city! It's worth a visit to explore the tunnels of Houston. We were able to enjoy games while eating from a Filipino burger place!
