  When I’m in Houston, Hugo’s is one of my favorite restaurants, usually I go there with a nice group of friends. The Mexican Food is excellent and the Mexican Wine selection is amazing.

  "We had a delicious meal and the service was outstanding. We enjoyed the octopus appetizer, and the red fish and pork shank, which were all cooked to perfection. For dessert we had the flan, which hands down was the best flan we’ve ever had anywhere. A great meal all around, and we will be back."

  This place doesn’t not disappoint ! We tried several things on the menu and all were a hit! Carne asada was tender and flavorful, the octopus cooked perfectly, and the drinks were superb. Our server was also top notch b. I highly recommend.

  This is not your typical tex-mex place. It is a high end classy restaurants that has a totally different flair about it. Ambiance is inviting and relaxing. High value food dishes are prepared with care perfectly seasoned and artfully presented. Service is prompt, attentive but not pressing. Out water glasses never got more than half empty. If you are looking for elevated food and overall dining experience, this place is for you.

  Given Hugo’s reputation as one of Houston’s best fine-dining Mexican restaurants, our experience was genuinely surprising—and not in a good way. From the moment we walked in, the service felt cold and dismissive. The person who brought our water didn’t acknowledge us at all—no eye contact, no response when I said thank you. It set an uncomfortable tone right away. Our server was equally unhelpful. When we asked questions about the menu, the answers were vague and incomplete. We were explicitly told that our plates did not come with sides, only for them to arrive with sides. On top of that, the server only checked on our table about three times during the entire meal, which is hard to excuse at a restaurant that presents itself as fine dining. The food itself was another letdown —dry, underseasoned, and lacking the depth of flavor you’d expect from a restaurant at this price point and prestige. Unfortunately, it also left my stomach feeling unsettled afterward. I wanted to love Hugo’s, especially given how highly it’s regarded in Houston, but between the rude service, lack of attention, and disappointing food, the experience simply didn’t live up to the hype. For a restaurant of this caliber, I expected much better.
