Easily the best TexMex restaurant I’ve ever visited this rings true for all El Tiempos. The food is absolutely delicious, and the portions are very generous. The steak fajitas are absolutely the best I’ve had anywhere. The meat is tender, the vegetables are flavorful, and the salsa is a perfect combination of spicy and tart. However, my favorite item on the menu is the freshly made tortillas. The only downside is that I can only visit once a month when I’m in town for work. If you’re craving Mexican cuisine, El Tiempo will surely hit the spot!
Absolutely delicious and a legend in the Houston area. Shrimp and steak fajitas were the best! Highly recommended if you are in H Town
One of our favorite restaurants in the Houston area. The margaritas are some of the best in the area and the queso is also excellent. Fajitas are solid and the servers were friendly. Definitely would recommend others to try El Tiempo.Dine in: Yes
Fence restaurant, with old kind of still interior. Normally clean but always is good to check. Food is delicious. The service is good. It was a pleasure to be here. Good time with friends at lunch.
If you're looking for some great Tex-Mex cuisine, El Tiempo Cantina should definitely be on your list of places to try. From the moment you walk in, the bustling atmosphere sets the tone for a great dining experience. Starting off with the chips and salsa, it's clear that El Tiempo Cantina takes their appetizers seriously. The chips are crispy and the salsa is fresh and flavorful. But it's the chile con queso that really steals the show. The smooth, creamy cheese sauce is perfectly balanced, making it the perfect dipping sauce for those delicious chips. Now, let's talk about the main course. The brisket enchiladas are simply divine. The slow-cooked brisket is tender and juicy, and the flavors are perfectly balanced with the cheese and sauce. These are easily the best enchiladas I've ever had and the epitome of Tex-Mex. The service at El Tiempo Cantina is also top-notch. Despite being busy on a Tuesday, our server was attentive and friendly, making sure our drinks were never empty and checking in on us regularly. Overall, I highly recommend El Tiempo Cantina for anyone looking for delicious Tex-Mex cuisine. With great appetizers, amazing entrees, and excellent service, it's the perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends or a special date night.
Best Tex-Mex in Houston. Had the Carne Guisada Burrito. It was spicy and packed with flavor. The portions are huge. The service is excellent. Margaritas are tasty. This is my favorite restaurant now and I’ll definitely be coming back!!
Service was excellent and they accommodated our plates to share. Super friendly even towards the end of the day. Food was great and margaritas were too. Unfortunately there's only vallet parking. Wish they had more vegetarian options.
Food was delicious and the Wednesday fajitas special was great. Homemade tortillas and beans hit the spot but kind of disappointed in the service. 11 at our table and our waitress refilled our drinks twice and disappeared, definitely wasn’t worth the $60 in gratuity she received. The bus boy started cleaning off our table when some of us were still eating, which is appreciated but he disposed of sides we didn’t even get to try. Thanks to him for being the one who got us refills the remainder of our stay. Restroom stalls are extremely small in size pretty weird but they are
The spicy margaritas are delicious and so we're the enchiladas. Admittedly these photos do not do the food any justice.
absolutely will not go back to this place. For an entire pound of fajita, they provide to table spoon of pico!?!? over price
