From service to drinks to food, couldn't be better! wide selection of margaritas , all delicious. Queso is a must! Loved chicken & steak combo fajitas ! The steak is tender with a good smokey taste

This is on my top 10 places to eat in Houston. They have sine of the best carnitas around. Tell them old school and they will make it extra crispy .

We had an amazing family dinner at El Tiempo Cantina. Everything here is exceptionally tasty and well-prepared. The service was outstanding. Highly recommended.

A great patio , good margaritas , and yummy queso here. Ask for lobster enchiladas with a flour tortilla . It's not on the menu , but it should be. They're amazingly delicious!

It's somewhat pricey considering the part of town it's located in. $129.99 for a parrillada for 3??!!! The noise level is high. It had ample parking , even valet. There are cheaper and better places .
