I'm a regular, and they have never disappointed. Their salsa is seriously excellent and I haven't found better anywhere in Houston. Good crispy thin chips, and FANTASTIC chicken fajitas with yummy caramelized onions and perfect hot, thin flour tortillas.
Also worth trying: any of the enchiladas and the (very strong) strawberry margarita.
You WILL have to circle for parking at this location and wait up to half an hour near a playground with shrieking kids. Then again, if you are a parent, there is a playground you can send your shrieking kid to while you have a strawberry margarita, so it probably depends on your point of view. So far, have always found the food to be worth the wait.
Pros: great food and drinks
Cons: loud, long waits

I purchased a lower end Toshiba LCD tv a few months back. It was right before hurricane Ike made landfall here in Houston as a matter of fact. Gallery has a 15 day return policy, and I didn't start having trouble with that TV until about 20 days after the purchase. After the hurricane came, my TV troubles were placed on the back burner for another few weeks. After about 2 months from the time of purchase, I began noticing bad picture quality, and trouble with the unit powering on. I called GF and was told I had to take this up with Toshiba. I emailed back and spoke with Adan, the customer service manager. I explained that due to uncontrollable circumstances, I was not able to get back to the store in the 15 days, and I would like to upgrade the TV to a better model.
Adan allowed me to bring in the faulty TV and exchange it towards a better model. I stayed with Toshiba, but got the better one they sold. I am happy with this TV, and because of GF's outstanding customer service, I will return and have no problem referring them to others.
Thanks Adan, and GF.

My parents were in town recently, and we decided to try Crapitto's. What a great find!! My mother is unable to walk very well- which I had indicated in the reservation- and our table was easily accessible for her. This meant a lot because they had clearly considered my request. The food was just delicious- I had the chicken with artichokes, my husband had the pork chop, my father had the capellini del mar (?) and my mother had another chicken dish. All were just incredibly delicious!! We were so impressed with the dining experience, that we have returned several times- the last time was with one of our sons- and all visits have been very impressive. This is definitely one of our favorite restaurants in Houston.
Pros: great ambiance, nice staff, delicious food
Cons: can get a little loud

I've been eating here since early '90's and never been disappointed yet for evening or breakfasts. The house specialty entrees are worth a visit -- better than HUGO's in my opinion. If you think the location isnt that safe, please note that there's a watchman out in the parking lot. The owner seems to always be there, so everyone is working hard to please. I was hoping the sale of the next door real estate would enable PICO'S to have a nicer outdoor venue, but still having to eat in a parking lot when the weather is nice. Since moving from SW Houston, I still come back after trying out the choices in Pearland - nothing compares overall.
Pros: house specialties, quality, quantity, schooner beers
Cons: no greenbelt around patio (parking lot) dining

food is good and the margaritas are great. Staff is friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend. I love the margaritas but be careful about how many you drink. You might accidently drunk dial someone.

I come to this coffee shop alot and recommend my friends and coworkers to come here as well. I love their coffees, desserts, food, ....basically all their food is delicious. Its cozy and comfortable there, their prices on their food is not too bad although their slices of cakes are quite pricey....its around $7 per slice! The bus boys are very quick and friendly. MOST of the staff that works the register is nice...but at times they are not as friendly/nice. There is one short chubby white guy in particular that works there that is always RUDE to me and my friends. We would come there at different times and he would treat all this customers the same way. He is mean, unfriendly and never ever smiles to customers that come there. The ambiance of the place and the tasty foods keeps me coming back but that one guy does not need to be working there if he hates his job or hates being around people. Maybe he would be in a better mood if he treats people better and in return they will treat him better. Overall I do love this place besides the rudeness of that one guy. Overall everyone treats me decent in there and is never really rude to me. Customer service is pretty fast and decent. Food and coffee there is excellent. Parking is not bad...always can find a decent parking space there. Oh yeah one of the cons there is the LONG lines that form to order. Since there is only 1 or 2 cashiers there it does take a while to get to you. Sometimes you get lucky and the line isnt too bad or sometimes there no lines at all. The amount of people coming in and out of this place.... shows that its a good place to dine or hang out at. I love being outside during the spring weather...its really nice there.
Pros: food, coffee, desserts, parking, customer service isnt too bad
Cons: long lines at times, alot of people there,

I have taken dozens of employees to eat at Brennan's for their 5 year anniversary with our business. Many look forward to going to Brennan's for lunch. I was to take another employee next month and now very sad that we will have to choose another place. I hope they plan on rebuilding as I will miss greatly those special occasions for lunch. Alex, our prayers are with your family during this time. Chris Smith, Grace Community Church.

Try the "Rippiene Funghi" (Stuffed Mushrooms) and the Crab Cakes for appetizers. They are both absolutely delicious and signature appetizers here. I love the Scampi Michelanglo for a main course. The Veal Marsala, Pasta Mista, and Canneloni are also beyond compare. We love the romantic atmoshpere of the candle-lit interior within this beautifully decorated house in Monstrose, as well as the two-piece piano and bass live music. This, combined with the personal service, attention to detail, and wonderful food make Michelangelo's one of our all-time favorite restaurants in Houston. Also give their Sunday brunch a try. They have a cozy outdoor patio, which is wonderfully complimented by the wide variety of Sunday Brunch samplings. You can also order bottomless Mimosas for around $7 per person on Sundays. Don't miss the 80 yr-old Oak tree trunk still growing thru the roof of the restaurant.
Pros: Delicious Italian Dishes; Excellent Service

I recently discovered this place, that actually has outdoor seating and you can bring your dog! The food was great and service too. The manager apologized for not having a bowl with water for my dog! Talk about service! PLEASE go, go, go. Take your dog! We need more open places such as this in Huston. Thanks,
Eva Olivier
Pros: Nice to doggies
