    Tequila 45 was just okay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is definitely Instagram-able. They did a great job with the decor & lighting inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband and I walked in and was able to grab a seat at the bar. The reason i'm giving them 3 stars is because of the service. The food took extremely long to come out. The bartender/waitress barely checked on us. We actually liked the food & drinks, but we felt like an afterthought. I didn't really feel a warm welcome dining here. It's a nice spot, but we probably wouldn't return.

    fantastic bar!

    I don't think it was my imagination -- this was easily some of the best (if not THE best) Mexican food I've had in my life. The tortillas were 2-die-4..........so fluffy. The chicken and beef fajitas were perfection. The service was TOP NOTCH. Always making sure I was taken care of. Tortilla chips and salsas -- SO good. Nice kick -- both the green and orange. I have nothing more to add other than this place rocks! Two big thumbs up. A must visit if you're near Hobby. Can't wait to try again. (Better than Pappacitos if I must say!)

    Decided to check out the closest restaurant to our hotel and it didn't disappoint. Staff was friendly from the door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a busy Saturday night but we found seats at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Close enough to hear the live band but far enough away so we could have a conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks were tasty. Food hit the spot. There was a lot of cheese which I didn't mind but my sister could've done with a little less.

    Chicken Fluatas

    I came by for lunch recently. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute and clean restuarant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was nice upon entry. Vanessa took care of me. I ordered the chicken fluatas. They were good came with Mexican rice and beans. Beans had a smokiness to them which were nice. I do wish the salsa was not so thin, but everyone's style is different. I did notice they have happy hour from 1-6 so if you are flying in to Hobby airport awaiting hotel or Airbnb check in I suggest stopping by. Prices and offerings were good. They had a $6 Mangonada with my name on it, but unfortunately I was working. Will definitely drop by if in the area.

    A Must-Visit Dining Experience in Houston! One of the greatest things about this restaurant is... well, everything! Let's start with what we all come for -- the food. From the lamb to the fish, and even the salsa served with the chips -- every bite was incredible. The flavors were bold, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The drinks? Fantastic. Honestly, I'd recommend ordering a little bit of everything just to experience how consistently amazing this place is across the board. Service That Sets the Standard The service here is outstanding. I've been twice now, and both times the team has impressed me. The manager personally came by our table to check in -- not just out of obligation, but out of genuine care. You don't have to go searching for a manager here; they're already out front making sure your experience is top-notch. That kind of proactive hospitality is rare and deserves major praise. Decor, Ambiance & Photo-Ready Vibes The decor is fabulous -- stylish, vibrant, and full of character. It's the perfect backdrop for selfies or those who live for the 'gram. As an amateur photographer, I'll admit I was tempted to turn the whole place into a photo shoot. Every corner has charm and energy that complements the dining experience beautifully. The Atmosphere: Day or Night, It Works During the day, the atmosphere is family- and friend-friendly -- great for brunch or a laid-back meal. But come evening, it transforms into one of Houston's go-to spots for a night out. Its proximity to nearby hotels makes it a convenient and inviting option for travelers looking for great food, good drinks, and a lively yet welcoming vibe. If I ever have a long layover in Houston, this will be my first stop. The combination of food, service, and atmosphere makes it one of those rare places you keep thinking about long after you've left. Trust me -- this spot is a must.

    Can't speak more highly of this place. We just flew in and were staying at the Springhill next door. We had a long day and wanted some beers and food. They told us the kitchen was closed but we were able to order beers. As we were drinking our beers they accommodated us and let us order food to go. Just amazing and above and beyond service! We ordered some tacos and there were delicious! I didn't get the names of the ladies serving us, but they were fantastic! Highly recommend!

    If you are looking for an authentic yummy dinner spot this is the place! The food was filling and SCRUMPTIOUS. The server was nice but the server didn't speak much English. It was really confusing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the decor was super pretty and colorful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely come here. churros were the most delicious divine scrumdiddlyumptious thing I've ever

    Food was amazing!! Tried the Chili Von Queso Echiladas... [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is gorgeous[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and service was superb.

    I was nervous about this place being so close to Hobby Airport, but it is truly little gem of an oasis. Apparently this spot has existed almost a year, but I just recently heard of it As I drove up I was impressed by the exterior layout and decor. It is modern, vibrant, and you definitely see the Latin themes As I walked through the door I was astonished with how trendy the interior is. Each section and room is almost a little work of art with murals, Hispanic decor, chandeliers, etc. in the lobby there is a pair of neon wings you can pose with. The attention to detail is mesmerizing. The chairs and glassware even have the restaurants name etched or cut into them The staff was attentive and professional. The menu has all sorts of delectable texmex dishes, and the drink menu is extensive Some tips: Come for happy hour. It lasts for several hours and while the menu isn't huge, there are a lot of great and affordable drinks and eats Cheers!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very beautiful space, food was absolutely delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately service didn't meet my standards. The guy kept forgetting to bring back what we asked for. And when we would tell him it looked like he would get upset. Two other guys did approach us one looked like he was a manager and they were just super nice and respectful. Once our waiter noticed he was talking to us his whole vibe changed and ended up bringing what he kept forgetting like tortillas, limes, or waters. Overall I do plan on going back and giving it another try.

    This was my 2nd visit after a couple years. I came with my husband and two young children…read more The cafe was busy on Saturday morning around 10 am but we were able to choose from a couple table options. You order at the counter and the server will bring the food out to you. We got chicken and waffle & chicken and pancake, French toast with side of scrambled eggs, and an iced lavender latte and English breakfast hot tea. The food & drinks quickly came out, which is always greatly appreciated when dining with kids. The chicken was a generous portion and juicy. The butter had a unique flavor and paired well with the chicken. The pancake and waffle were also big portions. The latte was sweet and well balanced. The manager came around checking on us and was very attentive when I needed to request an extra cup of hot water for our tea. The floral wall decor and light fixture gives such a cozy vibe. Service was top notch and friendly! We definitely will consider coming back soon again.

Portions are large/filling and we felt the food was delicious and a good value for money. When we arrived the line was long and menus were not available so we had to search for the menu on the website to avoid deciding at the counter and holding up the people behind us. After ordering, tables were cleaned consistently and service was friendly. Only feedback about seating was outside parties would take chairs from other tables and leave them with no seating and not all tables we're shaded. The drinks being available at the bar when it is busy and then food being delivered to the table was a bit clunky. I picked up water and utensils for our party before sitting and would have preferred to have to pick everything up at the counter or have everything brought to the table to avoid multiple trips around when the restaurant is busy.

    Dot holds a bit of a nostalgic throwback to the diners of the 50's & 60's…read more With plenty of parking located behind the building arrived at about 10AM and place was buzzing. Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

We were denied entry and treated with disrespect, rudeness, and a complete lack of compassion. Today, while the world watches the heartbreaking aftermath of the earthquake in Venezuela, countless service and rescue dogs are risking their lives to find survivors, bring hope to families, and save lives. These incredible animals don't judge people...they simply help those in need. Perhaps the lesson here is simple: kindness, respect, and empathy matter. You never know where help will come from and sometimes it comes on FOUR PAWS. ‍ I hope this experience encourages you to educate your staff about service dogs and to treat every customer with the dignity and respect they deserve.

While I was leaving, Johnny Carrabba came out and talked to me for a second. What a nice guy. Full of natural charisma. Reminds me of an old wise guy from casino or Goodfellas.
