Their weekend breakfasts are the best, but so are their brisket enchiladas . We suggest asking for the green rice on your combo plate, it's really tasty. [Eater 38 Member]
The portions are GIANT! Pick one of the Tex-mex dishes (the Las Vegas is yummo), and share with someone. My friend tried the canonball fried avocado w chicken and loved it!
Calamari is great and the fajitas always come out sizzling and delicious. Of course you can't leave without having a margarita , or two.
Calamari is great and the fajitas and shrimp come out sizzling and delicious. You also gotta have a margarita , or two.
All the food is suuuuuuuper!!! One suggestion: drink one of their famous Margaritas
Come for the margaritas and stay for the fajitas . Best in Houston. Mixed chicken and beef and a side of quest. You won't be sad you did.
Awesome food. Best Mexican food in town . Prices high but worth it. Valet parking . Great service. Upscale crowd. Busy place. Go totally off hours for quiet .
Lots of love for the beef fajitas but don't count out the chicken fajitas . They are crazy good. Order with a side of guacamole and you will need a nap.
Can't get enough of the fajitas , queso , and margaritas ! Easily one of the best tex-mex in town ! Service is stellar and food is amazing!
So good. The carnitas are TO DIE FOR.
The heaters on the patio make winter al fresco dining possible. The margaritas make it absolutely delightful. The chambord Rita is SO GOOD!!

If you're getting beef fajitas , you have to cough up the extra dinero and get the filet! Barry style!
The 1/2 fajitas are more than enough for two people! Must upgrade to the beef filet . So delish.
Get a frozen margarita sangria , ceviche and carnitas and fajitas ! Definitely the best texmex in town :)
Beef filet fajitas and jalapeño sausage !! Wow.
Roasted chips , good salsas and quail roasted over wood at your table.
Sangria + crab enchilada with marisco cream. ALSO free entry to Diamond Club next door with any purchase.
Favorite place in the world...hands down best people best service best food best margaritas !!!
Only order the filet fajitas . Strawberry , mango or any frozen margarita and the huge order of guacamole that they call "small".
Excellent margaritas and fajitas . Ask for the hot salsa !
The strawberry margarita is the bomb.
Family style fajitas were awesome for the big crowd we had.
Dos luncheon-crispy beef taco and cheese enchilada
The coconut margaritas , on rocks, is the best!
Thank you "Crysti Nixon" for spamming this venue. By "Thank you", I mean please stop posting this junk. No one will see your spam and think: "wow, let me buy some crap from Crysti Nixon online now!"
Great food and service. Pricing is good as well .
Order the: Large Fresh Fish Filet "Spicy Mexicana". It's large enough for two!
I'm from Louisiana so I was really scared to try the sea food . OMG get the crab nachos ! SO GOOD!!!
The portions are waaay too big, but super tasty! Also, it's an authentic like atmosphere with complimentary valet .
Have a martini . In for a treat? The filet mignon fajitas will keep you smiling all the way home. Don't go on Friday night unless you like standing room only.
Try their grilled combo, the quail is great.

Awesome place plus the titty bar is next door!!!
You have no choice but to valet park . There's no place else on bustling Richmond Avenue to self park .
After the prime filet fajita 's for dinner , head to the diamond club for coffee and dessert .
This place was the best Mexican food I have had in a very long time
Cheese is super greasy. Environment is good.
They weigh the food after it's cooked so you do get 1/2 pound of meat :-)
Very good margaritas and fajitas .
Best beef fajitas hands down.
Awesome experience and service. Best fajitas I have ever had!

The filet mignon fajitas are fantastic. So are the non alcoholic strawberry lime sparklers. - Mads Moller
My favorite dish there has been chile relleno (with cheese) and house Margarita (I prefer strawberry flower, frozen). Chile relleno is high in cals, but good. I would call it their signature dish. - Alex S.
new taco stand fajitas and more, great tacos and tortas!!! - Daphne Dumo
