    Food, service, and atmosphere makes the extra $ you pay worth this what i would call high end Mexican Cantina food!!! Love me some rare Fajitas and they do it with home made tortillas and garlic butter.

    Horrible service 5 employees at the front took 10 minutes to be acknowledged and the manager said someone will be with you shortly. Horrible customer service food is not worth the price waiters are rude and table was very dirty. Do not recommend

    I was with a business partner and we were seated in the back away from the customers. We were dressed casual or in uniform. Food was great our waitress stopped brining us tea refills. Otherwise I would have given a perfect score. I will be back

    Secret Antidote for North Houston Traffic. If you're like me, occasionally traveling Northbound 35 from Houston to Dallas. If your watch says its sometime towards the end of "Happy Hour". If you're adverse to fighting traffic so slow your clothes comes back in Style. This place is the perfect antidote. Great food, fun staff, vibrant musica. Then when you are done, viola, traffics gone, your Happy, well fed and on your way.

    Always good food and servers are polite, been going here for yrs. Love Wednesday fajitas special. Last night they made a small mistake. Brought the queso ( part of the special) out late. Again a small mistake, but they made up for it in a big way... we ordered 3 specials and they gave us 3 free desserts my family and dinner guests were very happy about this. Was a wonderful dinner, Pappasitos never let's me down.
