- MmanuelVIPMexico City •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoI had the pleasure of dining at Ojo de Agua in the River Oaks District, and I must say, it's hands-down the best Mexican food I've ever had in Houston! The tacos were incredibly flavorful, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that truly shone through. But the real standout for me was the ceviche - it was absolute perfection. The combination of tender seafood, zesty lime juice, and subtle spices was truly unforgettable. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure our every need was met. If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine, do yourself a favor and get to Ojo de Agua ASAP. You won't regret it!More infoOjo de AguaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• River Oaks•4.2
