Best

El tiempo always has awesome waiters, the best chicken fajitias, the best homemade tortillas I've ever had.

Worst

My husband and I have enjoyed dozens of meals at the El Tiempo Cantina in Montrose. It is by far, our favorite Mexican restaurant in Houston. On Tuesday, Sept. 27, we decide...

Margarita 6/11/2003

The margaritas at this restaurant are sooo good you really don't know how LETHAL they are till it's too late. It reminds me of dinking trash can punch many years ago, you really can't tell youre buzzed until you find yourself talking louder and feeling a little warm all over. 1 max at lunch or the rest of the day could end up blown off!!!! Pros: Big portions, Good music Cons: Parking more

Customer Service? 5/3/2003

Terrible service. I was told I had to valet or park yourself myself in the street. Second, my party if six was made to get up AFTER we had been seated because we were not ordering dinner - this after we had ordered six margaritas at $8 a pop. Food was comparable to Taco Cabana at 4 star restaurant prices. I will never return. Pros: nice atmosphere Cons: parking, service, pricing more

food of the gods 4/22/2003

Let it be known that El Tiempo Cantina has the three pillars of excellence... the opposite sex, stiff drinks, and highest quality fare. The mixed grill for 2 feeds at least 4, the women during happy hour are hot and wild, and the atmosphere is electric. more

I've got 2 words for you... 12/31/2002

CRAB ENCHILADAS!!!! A perfect meal is the rice and beans and crab enchiladas!! OK and a margarita or two. But the crab enchiladas. Have I mentioned just how much I love them. I go to El Tiempo quite frequently and I can't tell you about anything else on the menu because I've never gotten past the CRAB ENCHILADAS. Pros: Crab Enchiladas, Patio, Prices Cons: Noise level more

These are wonderful ritas!!! The BEST! Food is a little overpriced for what you get - still, fills you up and stuffs you! The shrimp are outstanding. So-so on the enchiladas. Very good guacamole. Waiters barely speak english and are very nice. more

The Laurenzos have done it again 11/5/2002

I invited some friends of mine to meet up with me for happy hour and dinner to follow at El Tiempo. The best-looking happy hour crowd in Houston, Period! I have found my favorite Margarita and fajitas in town. You cannot miss the authentic Mexican breakfast. It is a really great value for the buck-the portions are huge. The service is warm and consistent. more

Prepared with TLC 10/21/2002

El Tiempo moved into the old Dixie Road House and thereby saved us some driving. Best is the grilled quail. But the sauces and meats taste like somebody is cooking back there who really enjoys cooking. Pros: Wonderful salsas Cons: Noisy but OK more
