Phenomenal visit. My bartender/server was Alaya and Oscar made my drinks. They were both wonderful and so enjoyable to be around! They made the atmosphere one I will never forget. I was traveling for work and this was just the place to decompress. Not only was the service amazing, but the food did not disappoint. If you want great service, great food, and top tier beverages come to Tequila 45! read more

We heard about this place from our hotel and are so thankful we went for dinner. My daughter got the hamburger and both my children were fighting over it. It was delicious! I got the fish tacos and loved them. Everything about them, from the corn tortilla to the slaw was amazing. My husband got the pollo Del Mar and was blown away. I would highly recommend this place. Great service and ambience as well! read more

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!) read more

The restaurant is definitely Instagram-worthy, with a cute aesthetic and plenty of spots to snap pictures. We visited after a graduation, and they were very accommodating with our large group. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the high reviews for me. I ordered the habanero short ribs, which were just decent. Some pieces were fatty, others were tough, and there was a sweeter flavor than I expected. My husband's fajitas were also just okay and seemed borderline overcooked. I also got the sense they may have been understaffed, because it took a very long time for our food to come out. The biggest misses for me were the extremely watery salsa and hard, flavorless chips. To end on a high note, the drinks were very good, and I would definitely recommend stopping in for cocktails. read more

Tequila 45 was not all at what I expected. Inside is very fancy, but family friendly. The staff are very accommodating. There's lots of space inside, so it's ideal for big gatherings. For those who love to drink (not me), like their name suggests, Tequila 45 has a full bar and a vast selection of wine and margaritas. Their food was the best Mexican cuisine I've ever had. I can tell they use great quality ingredients in their dishes. Their tortillas are served steaming hot from the oven! Tequila 45 really stands out with some of their unusual menu items like Alfredo pasta, burgers, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, Creme Brulé, puddings, pork chops, Pineapple Sunshine (basically Pineapple upside down cake), and Cinnamon Butter Cake. I personally liked that you can choose what rice you want, instead of just having only Spanish rice. Tequila 45 does have a lunch special and they even serve breakfast! They're open every day and yes, they take reservations. Downsides: Our waitress took a long time getting our orders, and they weren't even busy! Everything on their menu is expensive. Even the prices on their appetizers and desserts are outrageous! The rice on my plate wasn't cooked evenly. I would only come here for special occasions. Note: Tequila 45 no longer makes Nutella CAKE, they now serve Nutella PUDDING instead. read more

Walked in around 9pm, waitress at front entrance with no greet. Waited for like 2 min for her to notice we were standing at door for table. John was our waiter. It was our first time and his service was okay, would've like to been offered any recommendations for appetizers/ entrees. Didn't feel like how a waiter should serve a table it very straight forward. We picked the calamari for appetizer but like 2 min after we called John to change it to the seafood empanadas and he had acted like we couldn't change our appetizer. I would've understood if it was like 10 min after we ordered them but we quickly grabbed him right after to change it. He eventually did. It was just weird for him to act like he couldn't do it at first. We ordered Lamb chop, and pollo Del Mar which was fine 8/10 flavor. 2/10 for the portions. 3 asparagus and a scoop a mash potatoes which was insane for the price. We didn't get dessert since John didn't really recommend good options just asked. We got our check and realized John didn't take off the calamari so we had to fix the issue and he said " lucky yall are still here " like sir that's not how you address your guest that you forgot to take something off the bill basically overcharging them. This place is more get drinks and enjoy music. Not for food service. read more

Decided to check out the closest restaurant to our hotel and it didn't disappoint. Staff was friendly from the door. It was a busy Saturday night but we found seats at the bar. Close enough to hear the live band but far enough away so we could have a conversation. 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. read more

I came by for lunch recently. Very cute and clean restuarant. 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. read more

Tequila 45 - Chicken Fluatas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

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! read more

Very beautiful space, food was absolutely delicious. 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. read more

Cute restaurant, fabulous decor with a great vibe...very pink and sparkly --one of the best decorated restaurants I've seen around Houston. Outdoor seating and patio as well. The service was not great, but that's mainly because there was a huge party of 30 next to us so it made it difficult for the waiter to get to us--so, I can't blame him. The drinks were good! I got the fajitas. The beef was chewy--but I'm rather picky about meat. The chicken portion of the fajitas was excellent. Charro beans were good too. Got flan for dessert which was good as well. With that being said, I will definitely return to try some other food and better seating! Evidently they clear the floors and have dancing here some nights! Update: went for round two. Better seating this time, I guess--no booths available. Tortillas very good and fresh, drinks amazing....only complaint was someone turned up the music to intolerable levels that you had to strain, practically yell, to the person you were talking to. Luckily someone complained and they turned it down after about 15 minutes. Ruined the experience. Still a cute place. May give it one last try. read more

Chips and salsa were a great start -- chips were fresh and crisp, and the salsa had a surprising kick (and that wasn't even the spicy one). The quesadilla was super cheesy and satisfying, with beans and rice that had nice flavor. The taco meat, though, was a bit dry and lacking seasoning. Finished with the Tres Leches -- tasty and moist, but there was too much fruit on top, which took away from the cake's flavor. Overall, a good spot with some highlights, just a few tweaks away from being great. read more

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!! read more

Our first time trying it. I heard mixed reviews so decided to try it ourselves. Ambiance was very nice, nice atmosphere w great music beautiful clean updated restaurant for the area. Service was okay not the best to say we went for brunch and it wasn't too busy at the time. I ordered an orange juice changed my mind with in mins ran to bar to change it to mimosa if I going to pay 5.00 for oj might as well mine it a mimosa right. The girl was like I already put it in I said well can you change it. She did but didn't like the hesitation. Food not what we expected from the high reviews. I order simple pancakes w fruit & whipped cream. They brought wrong pancakes with tons of blueberries. I ate it we were already waiting a ling time to get served. My husband ordered huevos norteno Tostada was stale, brisket tasted frozen w no flavor and he wanted over easy eggs and they made them well done. So not happy with food at all. Maybe we will go back for drinks, chips & salsa but not food! read more

We love this place. The ambiance is great and we always get right in. Love the music and chips and salsa come right out. Drinks are light but they are good. My favorite on the menu is the chicken and shrimp with lemon cream sauce. Incredibly delicious. And then there's the sautéed veggies. How can that be a star at a Mexican restaurant and yet here we are. We love the service. Everyone is friendly but there is a language issue on every trip. It's still worth it but our orders have been delivered inconsistently. Management always fixes it!! Worth it!!! read more

Went in for an early dinner. Sat at the bar. Mexican music playing, well put together place. Had a tequila over the rocks, a beer, and the grilled mix. The corn tortillas were great! I normally eat only one, but I ate all three of these. Food was grilled just right. Bartender did her part and never left me wanting something. I would visit again. read more

I stopped here after flying into Hobby Airport. I was starving, and my regular spot was closed, so I ventured there and was not disappointed. The salsas were delicious. The chicharrones and guacamole were fresh and flavorful. The presentation of the mojarra frita was pleasing. I subbed the fries for rice and beans. I was full when I left and had leftovers to take to the hotel. The waitress went above and beyond, checking with me regularly to ensure I had everything I needed. I really enjoyed this spot, and it would have been even better if I had not driven and could have gotten a cocktail. read more

Tequila 45 - Margarita in the rocks - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

Stopped in for a quick bite. The service was fast, I sat at the bar. Their chips and dip were delicious with their great happy hour menu. Monday thru Thursday their happy hour is until 8PM! I also ordered an entree. The salmon and potato's. The salmon was overcooked but the overall dish was very tasty. Love the feel of the place. It's clean and bright with fun Mexican vibe. They have a nice tequila selection, but I think they could widen out the options. So many good ones these days. Overall, I would definitely say give them a try and I will come back next time I'm in town. read more

I've passed by this spot so many times and finally had the opportunity to check it out. No reservations needed. Open parking lot. No outside seating. They do have a small bar. We got a table for 4 near the bar around 6:30 p.m. on a Friday night with very little wait time. Right off the bat, the restaurant is beautiful! Kudos to the designer/decorator. The chips were crispy and fresh - the green and red salsa were incredible (i'm picky about my salsas!)! We missed the happy hour specials (which just means I have to swing by again!) but we ended up ordering the spicy margarita, piña colada, spicy and regular palomas. Yennifer waited on us and was perfectly attentive and so sweet. For our meal, I ordered the grilled sea bass with a lemon butter sauce (since I have a shellfish allergy and it initially came with crawfish cream), asparagus, and rice. It was really delicious, about $24 but it would be great if the seabass was a bigger portion. Brian Mejia gave us the best recommendations and we also got to try the Madam Paleta Tamarind Tequila - HOLY SMOKES - i'm now searching for this tequila. He also suggested the coconut bread pudding - 5 high five stars! Will definitely come back another day! read more

This place is horrible, the service was slow and we were given plastic utensils for pork chops, salad, and shrimp. When we got up and asked for silverware we were told that they didn't have any.

This really is a nice establishment on IH 45 tucked in right behind the Springhill Suites. When you walk in the place is decorated in a beautiful Latin atmosphere, has large TVs all around and is huge. The staff is extremely friendly polite and responsive. We had a mixture of the regular and happy hour offerings, which by the way happy hour is from 1 to 8 PM each weekday. We each had a mangonada margarita, these are freshly made drinks, this one included fresh mangoes, and it was well poured and I could only describe the taste as excellent and will be back for another one. We ordered a chicken quesadillas off the regular menu and the fajita nachos off of the happy hour menu and barely could finish the two. The taste was exceptional. They also have really good sauces to complement these and I highly recommend both dishes. Because we were so full, we did not order any other dishes but will be back to try some of those later. I cannot recommend this place any higher than I am here. read more
