El Tiempo Cantina

Don’t ever call lynn to pick up food from this location. They suck. We were supposed to pick up food at 11:30. It’s now 1223. We’re just now picking up our food terrible customer service and terrible attitudes.

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Ignore the snobby reviews. We have been going here every week since moving to The Woodlands. The food is always great and the staff treats you like family.

Absolutely terrible and a rip off. 18$ for a medium bowl of watery queso and the chips were stale. Drinks were so bad we didn’t even finish them. We didn’t stay for entre and when we asked to speak to the manager, nobody ever came. Don’t waste your money

We’ve been here multiple times & every time the service has digressed. The servers never know the happy hour specials or bring anything you request, it appears they have not been trained or even know the menu. Today, they had ran out of red salsa at 5 pm , how does a Mexican restaurant run out of salsa? The refried beans were luke warm, borderline cold, the bar service was nonexistent. The margaritas have always been their saving grace but today it wasn’t the bartender was slow & the Rita’s didn’t taste normal. The food is VERY overpriced, we go out to eat to be waited on in a timely fashion & eat good food this restaurant failed on multiple levels.

This place use to be good. Overpriced, very confused service. Tex-Mex should not have steak house prices.

Chips and salsa great.The big crunchy ground beef taco was very disappointing. The only big about it was the shell. Very little ground beef + it was cold.

El Tiempo Navigation is top notch. Ambience, service, food quality, MARGARITAS! I often take first timers to El Tiempo Navigation and the fall in love. El Tiempo is my favorite restaurant overall in Houston.

I have been to this location several times. My only disappointment was that on one visit they ran out of the grilled ribs that my husband loves so much. Fall off the bone good. Not to worry, though. All food items are well prepared. Service is a tad slow, but once you understand that the food is not cheaply made, you appreciate the time. Savor a delicious margarita while you wait. The bartender is excellent, and the manager and waitstaff are personable. We will be back again for my husband's birthday!

We went with party of 12 ppl on the slowest time of the day at 2 pm on Sunday afternoon. We were sitted quickly and there were just us 12 and 6 other ppl in entire restaurant. They had few servers walking around and manger of the location was just sitting behind us talking to their staff. From taking order for drinks to taking order for food took soooooo long. Then food did not arrive on table for another hour plus. Food was cold , tasteless and us being veg we made sure certain things are made certain ways only. Few on trays were messed up and it was horrifying experience and we were there celebrating 40th bday with family. We totally made a poor decision by going there. After the meal when I spoke to the manager about all the issues. He just took 15$ off of the entire bill and no words of sorry or acknowledging the facts about how things went? I refused to pay the tip but they still added to my debit card. Bill was about $220 plus and food, service and experience was not worth even $5. Strongly suggest not to go to this place ever. Totally totally disappointed and seems like manager did not care at all. So sad!
