Batanga

Featuring a full menu of Latin American favorites, including tapas , fish tacos , paella and more. Enjoy an evening out on the the largest outdoor patio in downtown Houston.

Great atmosphere Saturday night! Live Brazilian music was played the night I went--Axé Bahía, Samba , Rio Funk and Forró. Pão de queijo is small & expensive . Caipirinhas are okay, but $8. Good Saturday

Our server suggested a few items, like the tempura battered eggplant drizzled with honey (fluffy and light as air) as well as the roasted cauliflower , fried pig 's ears and chicken chicharron . Read more

Great atmosphere and live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Great Mojitos . Food is good but not superb and service could use more attention to detail. It was evidently a bad day for our server

Featuring Latin American favorite dishes, including tapas , fish tacos , paella and more. The largest outdoor patio in downtown Houston makes for a fun night out!

Drinks are awesome, have a Southern-style that go perfect with the patio and the live music .

The Grillabeast. Have with a bottle of wine . Live music on Friday evenings.

Batanga offers a modern take on tapas and a beautiful patio to enjoy brunch , lunch or dinner on Market Square.

Pleasant atmosphere and european style ...very kind and helpful staff ...try the mousse with salt and olive oil ...

For those not familiar with the tapas concept, the portions are intended to be small. It's a way of eating that originated in Spain centuries ago where dishes are meant to be shared with the table.

The ribs were awesome. Duck confit gets honorable mention for the mole they had everything on it.

Get the platanos (caramelized ) and the mushroom croquettes . However, be prepared to wait for your food for hours lol

Kandra is awesome. Food is great. Love the mescal flight.

Nice Music ! Great tapas . Try the fried yuca and the parillada!

The empanadas are really good. Great atmosphere. Fun all around.

Eggplant fries + mushroom croquettes . YOU ARE WINNING.

The carmelized plantains are something I need in my life more often.

Brunch was excellent

Let's blame my expectations (and what I learned working in a restaurant/bar), but drinks, food and service could really be better. Just saying.

Nice tapas , great service, excellent cocktails .

The happy hour food has large portions and tastes awesome!

Really Great Place and a Diverse Croud, Wow the Food is good.

Can't wait to try this place again. Have the Batanga burger . It will make you "whoa".

gluten free friendly ! Just tell your waiter and ask questions as needed.

Tasty dishes + live music = heaven

Tapas are $4 during happy hour (3-7 pm)

Veggie options , service, atmosphere and decor

Notice: the paella isn't necessarily recommending two people, but letting you know you'll be charged for at least two people (double the menu price at a minimum). It's good, but not that good.

Excelente food and drinks. Service was slow. I definitely recommend this place.

Sangria & gambas al ajillo on the patio - nice.

The atmosphereis really nice, but the food is nothing special. The cocktails are great!

Pao de queijo ❤️❤️

Get the Ahumado! Smoky and delicious.

Great location for cocktails and view . Food is overall average to poor. Price outweighs quality.

Amazing food... totally blown away!

Food ranged from decent (ribs ) to gross (mussels ). Patio is great, service is not. Only go if you have the time to wait 20 minutes for each round of drinks to show up.

Home of the 22 second mojito !

Love this place!

Cute date spot !

Cousin manages bar . Good sevice

Wonderful experience!

Thai me uuup ????

Hanger steak

Yummy come here.

Dank chilaquiles .

There was a band playing, the mixed sucked and it was cranked on the patio . Plates are overpriced

Stay away frim the eggplant fries , unless u looking for hyperlipidemia, avergage and overpriced

Bugs outside, extremely small portions. If you are trying to eat go somewhere else if you are trying to socialize its okay.

Food is so bland it's ridiculous.

It's okay, small portions
