More than amazing atmosphere and drink. It feels like every shot is a double. The only place in town to be if you speak Spanish on a Friday night. read more

Reserved a table over the phone today to watch a game . Side note : flyer said it's free to watch the game. Got told upon arrival that there was an unadvertised minimum of 50$ per person to spend. Nothing was mentioned on the phone , just hoping for a quick cash grab from anyone foolish enough to stay. Free to come but pay to stay? Vultures and snakes. read more

I wish I would've discovered this place sooner! They have happy hour until 9pm and all their happy hour food and drinks are $5. The drinks were super strong and the food was sooo flavorful! The ambiance was nice and the waiter was attentive. I got the nachos with chicken and beef and it was 100/10. Def will be returning read more

The food wasn't the best, but the nightclub experience at Fabian's was such a vibe! There are four different sections, each with its own genre of music and in a mixed environment either outside or in. Note: if you book dinner towards the later evening, you will be rushed to finish or buy a bottle in order to keep the table. read more

This is where my friend and I go party. Enough said. Super fun night club vibe at night, although expect to be squished

Went here back on Valentine's Day with my date. All staff we interacted with were amazing and do speak Spanish. I felt like I was in another little world there. Food was good all around. read more

Came here for my bday to celebrate with my friend they charge to get in so my friend paid , while my friend paid the door lady with the highlight added her own tip in which is stealing. My friend tried to undo the tip and she clicked it and went away . It was three options it was the middle option she chose: then she had the audacity to come up to my friend who paid and said I know y'all recorded me and I'll refund it and we told her if you need the tip that badly to steal you can keep it. Beware!! Of the thieves and they'll add the tip themselves at the door read more

AMAZING FOOD! My daughter and I visited Fabian's while on a quick trip to Houston. I called to find out about the type of food they served and the owner Fabian was courteous and friendly. We were Not disappointed, the food was Amazing! We had a couple of their Colombian dishes and it felt like we were eating a home cooked meal, since we are Ecuadorian. The ambiance was lively, the service great and we will definitely return when we visit Houston again. Thank you Fabian and staff! read more

Love this place for a night out! Great music, great vibes, has an authentic Latin feel. The space is huge with both indoor and outdoor areas. They serve food late which is nice and the quality is pretty good, would say better than your typical bar menu. Had some late night nachos that were delicious, empanadas were okay. As for the service, which is why I docked one star, was a little slow, and both times I came here the servers only spoke Spanish (luckily was with Spanish speaking friends so wasn't an issue). read more

As a note: this is to comment on the food and dining experience. Not the the dancing portion. You'll see in this review. It was hard to tell by the website it turns into a club by 8:30pm. We walked out feeling disappointed and deceived. We had quite the experience at Fabian's. After finishing an evening by the pool, we were looking for a quick bite in the area and had heard a lot of great things about Fabian's. So we ordered a car to take us there. However I think they subverted all our expectations and not in the best ways. First off, I'm not reviewing the experience of the dance floor. We had no idea it was a dance club based on the website. However they still seated us for food? I later learned from other individuals in my group the bouncer made comments about our clothes and questioned if we'd be staying long, even criticizing some of the clothing. Additionally of the group of us, even though we all had bags i was the only one asked to check my bag. Again we came from the pool. Luckily I didn't have my wallet in there. If it was that much of a problem, it's okay to tell us to go somewhere else. I kind of wish we did. Once ordering food, it was hard to order amongst the loud music. It was so loud that by the time all our food came out, many menu items were missed or inputted incorrectly. For example, three orders of rice and beans and two ceviche were in our order. We got two rice and beans and one ceviche. A fish taco became a shrimp taco order. If an environment as loud as this wants to serve food, maybe an online ordering model works better. I will say, we were all very surprised about the food portion sizes. One taco was enormous, as were the size of the arepas. Many of the dishes were very large. Even a side of rice and beans was enough to get me full. We were filled quickly. With my onion cilantro and scallion allergy, I could not have too much. The Puerto Rican tostones I could have were good. I also could only have rice and beans. The taco would've been ok with my allergy they said but it was one of the items that came out wrong. Additionally, there was a resounding note that any dish with chicken in it was very dry. Finally the thing that really made me begin writing this review mentally was the somewhat shady practices throughout our experience. Chips and salsa were served on our table when we were seated. We found out when paying the bill that the two plates of chips and salsa were not included, but added to our bill. Good thing we checked out bill since the items that we ordered that didn't come out still made it to our bill. Gratuity was added to our bill but not out right states. Therefore we accidentally tipped twice on an experience not worth double gratuity. While some may know it's expected to have it included when 6 people dine, if it's not it's preying off of not knowing to get us to pay more. I'm not very satisfied with how our night went. Our intent was to look for dinner. We thought this would be dinner. Maybe had we known what to expect we could've reframed our expectations. But unfortunately we were let down. We hope our experience is something others can note before they decide to come here for food!! Maybe it'll be different if we were looking for a night to dance. read more

Love Fabian's! The atmosphere always has such a good vibe, the best dj's in town and food is to die for! If you love dancing and great service this is the place to be every weekend! 10/10 recommend! read more

Fabian's always has great food can't complain even late hours it's currently 12:46 am food is always available.During the weekend it becomes a great place for dancing and food highly recommended to check out I'd say it's the hottest place to be on main in street in downtown Houston a lot of Latin music. The food is always great tonight I got the calentado it was real fresh and hot ready to eat only 1 thing I can say is that the seasons on the meats was a little to salty very salty ,other than that everything is great I recommend you give Fabian's a try. I paid roughly $20 for the plate in the picture . Last thing check there social media on instagram or Facebook for a cover charge Thursday- Sunday door man tried charging me and they were charging everyone else but had a post on instagram that there was no cover charge so check social media . I got in free because I showed them the post . read more

What a horrible service, they fired our waitress in the spot and started crying in front of us (resulting in a bunch of waitress and a guy screaming each other). We spent $900+ and the minute we finished our drinks and food another waitress told us to fuck off (literally) since we are not longer consuming. Worst experience in bars I have had in 15 years in houston. read more

One of my favorite bars to go to in all of Houston. The city doesnt have too many decent latin clubs and I just happen to live down the street from the best one! This place used to get crazy packed but now they have expanded and own the local next door as well. This was a great move on their part because this place was small and in high demand. Now you get to go and have some personal space which is great. Drinks are nothing special but service is always good whether you are ordering form the bar or you get bottle service. This is one of those bars where you don't have to wait forever to get someone's attention at the bar. The bartenders here are really on it and it makes A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Additionally, Fabian's plays the best music on Main St. in my opinion but I am latina so I may be biased lol. I haven't tried much of the food here but after a couple of drinks one time we ordered the steak nachos and they were amazing. I am not sure if it was the alcohol hitting or if we were just hungry but OMG we still talk about those nachos! I am taking one star off because it is the one of the only places down main st that charges a cover. It is $20 to get in most of the time. I understand that its a popular spot but damn LOL. Unless you get lucky you have to pay for parking anywhere on main st so between parking and cover you already spent $40 and you're not even inside yet! read more

My husband and I have been to Fabian's to dance on a Saturday night and it was so much fun. I'm happy to say their food is on par with their night life. We came to Fabian's to eat on a Sunday afternoon and absolutely enjoyed our meals and will be coming back. read more

Just a food review: I've said before but it begs repeating: life is too short to eat subpar food. Grabbed some fajitas before hitting a bar across the street. The chicken was hot, but not flavorful and it was over cooked. read more

Fun overall atmosphere, food was okay, drinks are watered down. You should REALLY watch your credit card charges....not really sure how 2 drinks and an appetizer was $79, but it was. Would not recommend and will definitely not be going back. read more

I can only speak to my experience with their catering as I have never visited the location myself. Contacted them about a month before booking them for my husband's 40th birthday which was held at an adjacent bar. They were recommended from the bar owner and it was a solid recommendation. Communication was excellent, catering proposals and quotes were given as requested within a few days of the request. Compared to other catering/restaurants I looked at, they were by far the most reasonable option in terms of cost, quantity and variety of food. We went with a menu of empanadas, tostones, and beef/chicken tacos with rice/beans etc. All were of the South American/Columbian variety which is not familiar to me but I was overall impressed with the flavors of the cuisine. One huge surprise on the night of the event was that while the agreement included catering delivery and set we actually got a full-service option with chafing dishes, plates and tableware along w 2 waiters to serve the food! Really upped the ante at the party and took it to the next level. Co-business manager Gustavo was there making sure things went smoothly and even Fabian stopped in to check on things, very nice guy! They both explained since they were down the road they could come back if we needed anything at all which was very kind. Was really impressed and appreciative that they made this effort to ensure a successful event. There was plenty of food and the quality was excellent and flavorful. Best empanadas and guests raved about the beef tacos. They also transitioned the food from their chafing dishes provided takeout boxes once the service ended for guests to pack leftovers. Will say that Gustavo was professional however a tad pushy as he interrupted us rather abruptly several times with reminders to eat while the food was hot (my husband does not like being told when to eat at any time lol). However I do get it as we all have a timeline and sometimes people need that push to eat at a party. Overall excellent choice for catering and exceeded my expectations! read more

Fabian was so kind to me and my friends and we had such a great time here! Great place to party and bring your friends!

Chips and queso was great, the quesiddillas were pretty bad tho. Everything was just falling out and it needed to be more flat so everything stays together it was super messy. The dancing and drinks were good tho. read more

- Went after hours, drinks were good, music good, bathrooms packed as expected but overall decent.

I came to fabians looming for a place to dance and enjoy the night with my wife hut for some reason was turned downed do to the fact that i have a tattoo on my face that has my fathers initials and birthday and death date. I understand i have a face tattoo and draw attraction to myself but to be blatantly turned down and told to leave and that i was not welcomed to a place felt as if though it was similar to segregation in the 60s place is a joke and highly do jot recommend spend ur money elsewhere and on better and kore welcoming service read more

Went with a group of friends. Service took foever! Poor girls working where hock eyed by man/owners at the bar. Empinadas where she star of the show so good! Vibe not good. We left and will never go back. read more

My husband and I waited two months to spend a night Downton, watch a show and looked forward to some tostones at Fabian's. (I haven't had them since I was 9 years old.) We were greeted by 5 officers at the front door at 8:35 for our 9:00 reservation. When I walked into the establishment to greet the hostess, the security guard without asking for consent began to pat my husband down. In the process he grabbed my husband holstered weapon. My husband let them know he was an off duty police officer, carrying his ID. Because he was carrying his service weapon we were not allowed to enter the empty establishment. We were wearing jeans and dress shirts and I have now read online they may have a "dress code." Additionally, that the establishment basically becomes a nightclub and not a dining establishment after 8:00, which begs the question, "Why take dining reservations" for 9:00 PM? PS: Fabian's: The bad guys with weapons will not ID themselves and let you know they are carrying. You are keeping the good guys out. Thank you for making safety a priority...but reconsider your outdoor staff and this asinine policy. And, I have encouraged my husband to file charges against the "security" personnel who clearly don't abide by consent / or contact laws. read more

Great service!! Maria was amazing. Would recommend!! We got bottle service and was served immediately. Please come.

I liked Fabian's! This was my first time and it seems like the focus is more on the atmosphere/dancing activities for later in the evening rather than the food, so that's something to keep in mind. The only downside is that they don't offer tap water and bottled water was $3/bottle, so that was your only option. I had the fish taco, which wasn't bad and a beef empanada which was pretty good! The only downside was that the fish taco had cheese, which I wasn't aware of and the taco was somewhat dry with no sauce/lime offered. Overall the flavor was good though! My friends enjoyed the chicken empanada, chicken taco and the nachos. Nice spot for Saturday night! read more

This spot is so fun for a night out with a group of girls or friends. Loud music, sweaty dancing, diverse crowd and queso.... Located on a quirky corner of downtown this Latin nightclub/day spot is a whole lot of fun. It turns all the way up on Sunday nights and I have heard Thursdays are also wild. A good sized dance floor is outside as well as a huge bar. This spot really feels like going out in Mexico and having a wild tequila fueled night. Everyone is dancing and having fun, super welcoming crowd. I suggest calling ahead and reserving a table if you want a place to sit on their busy nights. Extremely reasonable pricing. Pro Tip: two tacos for five dollars at happy hour! These tacos are huge. The brisket and fried fish are my favorites, but truly you can't go wrong. read more

Beware front door scammers!!! Upon being charged at the door, the lady added a tip and when I tried to take it off, she added it back on again right before I clicked OK on the iPad. When I confronted her, she waved it off, probably since she does this a lot judging from the comments on here. For a thief, she had a major attitude and acted as if she did nothing wrong. read more

I had such an amazing time yesterday I lost my camera lol. Fabian's employees were extremely helpful in helping finding my camera. 10/10

- Calling Out Discrimination at Fabian's Latin Flavors -this is my dear friend's experience last night Hey friends. I need to call out the homophobia I experienced last night at Fabian's Latin Flavors on Main St. It was such an upsetting experience that left everyone in the group shocked and really pissed off. For me though, this is the 1st instance of homophobia I personally experienced or witnessed from a downtown Houston bar. Last night my friends and I went out dancing to celebrate my friend's birthday. The last planned stop was Fabian's Latin Flavors. We arrived at around 12:30AM, paid the $20 cover, then entered the club. As we move through the space, we decide to go to the back of the venue. So we proceed outside to the courtyard and gather at the fountain, right in front of the entrance to the other part of the club. As we are filing in through the door (keep in mind people are flowing in and out freely) three of our group make it in, when the bouncer suddenly stops me from moving forward. He flashes his light at my shorts. I assume he's questioning what I'm storing in my pockets, for security reasons perhaps, so I pull out my phone and keys and raise my arms. The bouncer keeps shaking his head and continues to flash his light. I lean in and ask him what's up, and he tells me my shorts are too short. I relay the message to the rest of the party and we walk back to the fountain. As we're standing there and looking around, we see other people wearing shorts and skirts of all fabrics and lengths being allowed entry into the back. Two of the three people in my own party who got in were wearing shorts, one of them wearing the same exact length of shorts as mine (see picture attached). At this point reality is setting in and I'm feeling very overwhelmed. It's not about the shorts. It's me. They're not letting _me_ in. One of the three friends who went into the back comes outside to find us. He asks us why we didn't follow them in and we tell him the situation. He then goes to the bouncer, talks to them about the shorts, shows them the shorts that he's wearing, then comes back to our group and says, "The bouncer said it's fine." Whew, right? All those feelings of discrimination start to melt away and, I'm hoping it's just a misunderstanding. As soon as I get to the door the bouncer flashes his light at me again and says, "No, not him. His shorts are too short." Talk about traumatic whiplash. I feel tears start to form in my eyes as the vibe I felt earlier is indeed true: it's not about the shorts. It's me. They're not going to let _me_ in. So we leave. On our way out, one of my friends tries to talk about the situation to one of the managers behind the hookah counter, but she just shrugs. Apparently homophobia is just not that big of a deal at Fabian's. So. Why am I writing this? Because no one should have a celebratory night out with friends be tainted by bullshit double standards and be denied entry for an absolutely erroneous, veiled reason like "your shorts are too short" when the other people in the friend group (not including the other patrons of the club) are also wearing shorts. I did not pay $20 for a homophobic interaction by the venue staff and honestly. I want my money back, as well as the money for all eight of my party. read more

This was my favorite bar in downtown Houston. The food, drinks and music was on point. I had ordered some tacos that were absolutely delicious. Their espresso martinis were also delicious!

The bartenders and servers also provided with amazing service. read more
