El Tiempo Cantina - Houston

Always one of the best Mexican spots in Houston. You cannot go wrong with their food!My go to favorite is the jumbo lump Crab Enchiladas!! It’s just not the same at other locations from this one on Washington! Highly recommend. Also, they have the best cilantro rice!It’s a great family restaurant as well. My son loves their cheese quesadillas.

Man, we just ran into the place on the way to other restaurants and decided to try it. The food was great fresh. I highly recommend this placeFood: 5/5

I went to this restaurant for lunch because it was directly across the street from the place where my fleet vehicle was being detailed. I took a seat at the bar and was a bit taken aback by the prices for the lunch specials . I ordered the crispy beef taco special and, with the rice and beans, was happy to see it was plenty for my lunch with enough left over to take out. The amiable bartender gave me excellent service. So, I enjoyed the experience but be prepared for sticker shock when you see the prices.

Our family visited El Tiempo on Cinco De Mayo. The restaurant was busy with the lunch crowd but we were seated quickly despite the noise. We were seated next to a large party, making it difficult to have a conversation without raising our voices. The servers were busy but provided prompt service. The food was delicious with generous portions, making up for the noisy atmosphere. We would definitely consider returning on a quieter day.

We keep coming back to try other dishes and it is settling in as an Excellent restaurant. Love the 1/2 lb beef fajitas and the Carne guisada taco. Wife loves the Barbacoba taco and Menudo. Definitely worth the price as the cooking effort shows. Amazing handmade flour tortillas.Ok, have had 2 experiences here. Last time we did take-out and the review is below. Today we dined in and it was much better but still very pricey, but they do have daily specials before 3 pm which is the way to go! Today we had the daily special beef fajitas and they were awesome! Also tried a Carne Guisada taco and it was very good, trying the plate next time. Frozen Margarita with Casa Amigos floater was very good. Definitely will try again but mexican food should not be this expensive.Take out review:Very pricey for what you get and the quality. Ordered the combo chicken and beef fajitas to go and once I got it home it definitely was not $75 worth of food or taste. Had lunch at Tia Maria's for the same amount of food for a lot less. Was trying these places out as we were in town to watch the Astros beat the Yankees! Not ordering this again.
