   I enjoyed the ambiance and the vibe of the restaurant; the fire shows were remarkable. That said, the food was ok, but nothing really stood out. They automatically bring out Acaua Panna water at $11/bottle without asking. We dined on the Chicken Tostaditas, Queso Fundido, and Chicken Enchiladas, which were all fine. We also tried the Ghost Rider and Toca margaritas, which were both good. To finish off, they brought the check out, which I didn’t review properly and already included a 20% tip. I unknowingly tipped an additional 25% as the tip line didn’t indicate “Additional Tip”, nor did the server key me in on a tip already being included. There were only four in our party as well. Seems like a “gotcha”. I would probably go back another time for drinks, as this was our first time in Houston, and maybe they had an off night. We really like the Vegas and Scottsdale locations.

   Over priced drinks, way over priced food. Our food came out Luke warm! The bartender forgot to bring me my credit card back and I am from out of town. I spoke to the GM who had to make an exception to mail (not overnight it to me given that I am from out of town). Ridiculous after spending over $600. A close friend who goes there frequently turned me on to it, but after I shared my experience with him they will NO LONGER BE

   Horrible service. I made reservations only to be sat at the bar and not at a table. I went to hostess twice and never got seated. They advised they would come and get us from the bar and they never did. Besides the food and the nice bartender I’d never go back again. What is the purpose of a reservation if I won’t be seated at a table.

   The food was great. But the place has an identity crisis. It’s not a nice high end Mexican restaurant. And it’s not a nightclub. They tried to combine those two but imo failed. What they have is an overpriced loud club-like experience that did not provide the experience I would expect from a restaurant in this price range

   I wanted to be blown away. I just wasn’t. It is Miami and LA pricing for very mediocre food. Steak was overly seasoned and nothing really just stood out. I was really excited about visiting and I left feeling like this place was all hype

   Service took awhile to attend us for glass of water. My Center Cut Ribeye was chewy. Some of the drinks were ok. DJ was too loud to enjoy a casual conversation. Overpriced for the food & service.

    If you haven’t been, you need to go. Everything from the service, the ambience and the food made this visit worth it. I went for brunch and the appetizers, meal and drinks were all absolutely delicious. Our server went above and beyond to make sure one of the dietary restrictions was accommodated and made excellent recommendations. 10/10 will be back.
