Hugos is considered to be Houston finest Haute Mexican restaurant. Honestly, I don't think It lived up to the hype. Yes, it has some pretty good food, and it even has some pretty obscure offerings, such as the fried crickets. But once the novelty wears off, you find that Hugo's isn't really the kind of place you feel comfortable parting with $40 a head of your hard earned cash. Yes, the fajitas are good. Yes, the enchiladas are flavorful and elegant; but no, they're not worth the $20 Hugo's charges for them.
What Hugo's does have that is vastly superior to anything in the city is a great Tequila list. You'll find tequilas that will transform your preconceptions of the drink. These are meant to be sipped not chugged. The velvety burn that only a good tequila can give you is achieved amidst beautiful decorations in a very hip part of town, but does nothing to hide the fact that you feel a little gipped when the time comes to foot the bill.
Pros: Obscure offerings, great tequila list
Cons: Overpriced
