I recently visited Alva's and had a mostly positive experience. The service really stood out--the…read moreserver was friendly, smiling, and very attentive. The drinks were enjoyable, especially the horchata and tamarindo, both of which were refreshing and well-made. The restaurant itself was clean and a pleasant atmosphere. As for the food, it was a bit of a mix. The yuca with chicharrón was disappointing--the portion of chicharrón was very small (only a few tiny pieces), and the yuca itself was just okay. I wouldn't order that dish again. I also tried the sopa de gallina and requested the chicken roasted, but unfortunately it came out quite dry and lacked flavor. Overall, despite a couple of dishes that didn't meet expectations, the great service, clean environment, and good drinks made it a worthwhile visit. I'd be open to coming back and trying other items on the menu.

I came in for lunch one random day and go greeted by a smiling face that only spoke spanish. Not a big deal as the menus had pictures and english on it. The facility was a bit date and a little bit of humidity in the air, not a big deal at all. I ordered the plantain empanada and a tostada. They both came out deliciously looking and smelling. The lady sent over really good salsa to pour over the tostada. The plantain empanada was something ive never had before, but it was like a gooey dessert. I don't mind this place at all. Overall I had a decent time and experience here. Nothing really to shout home about, but its an average weekday lunch place.

I order pupusas revueltas with beans all they did was put beans they up charge me for that and ended up being just beans. I don't recommended this place as a true Salvadoran myself.

My wife and I decided to try Angus Grill Brazilian in Katy to switch things up and give it a shot…read more That was a mistake. We sat down and immediately noticed the silverware was filthy. Not a water spot. Not a smudge. It looked like caked on peanut butter stuck to it. How that makes it to a table is beyond me. That set the tone for the rest of the night. Service was almost nonexistent. We never had an actual waiter. No one offered drinks. No refills. We drank the single glass of water that was sitting there and that was that. The staff bringing the meat were a strange mix. Some ignored you completely. Others would come by and slice portions so thin and small it felt like we were rationing food after a shipwreck instead of paying customers at dinner. We asked for specific cuts and were told they were coming but never got them. Fajita. Steak. Shrimp. Picanha is all we saw. We were told they would bring them. They never did. The meat that did come out was consistently super rare inside with an over-seared exterior. The steak had good flavor but it was borderline raw. The rest was bland. Rice was hard. Bread only appeared if you specifically asked for it. The salad bar was underwhelming at best. The restaurant had a decent crowd but it was not packed, so the chaos cannot be blamed on being overwhelmed. You spend the entire meal trying to flag down whoever is walking by because there is no dedicated server. For $55 per person, that is unacceptable. Overall, 2 out of 10. Not the worst food I have ever had, but undercooked, under seasoned, poorly executed, and absolutely not worth the price. We will not be back.
