I wish there was a way to leave a 0 star review. My husband and I came to Houston from San Antonio for a concert, and were excited to try out a new restaurant. We came to the town square to walk around for a while and decided to try this restaurant. To start out the restaurant was really warm inside which wasn’t comfortable but we decided to stay anyways. We ordered the queso to start with the add ins of meat and poblanos, I ordered the pepper margarita and my husband ordered a beer. When they brought the queso they bring the add ins on a separate plate. I’m glad I ordered the add ins because the queso on its own was so watery and bland, so that helped a little bit. The salsa they bring with the chips tastes like it’s out of a can. My margarita was good, but the beer the server brought my husband was warm, it didn’t feel like it had even been in a fridge at all, and the server did not come back for so long to ask for a new one, so my husband had to take the ice from his water to put into the beer. When he did finally come back and my husband told him the last beer was hot and asked if he could bring him a cold beer even if it needed to be a different brand, the server didn’t apologize just said “I’ll see what I have”. We should have left at that point. My husband ordered the “burritos” Escalante and I ordered the Escalante especial. The burritos were really just rolled up tacos. The carne asada in it was good but that was it. They put the bland queso on it which ruined it. The Mexican rice had absolutely no flavor and the beans were awful as well. The Escalante especial was supposed to come with an empanada, but they forgot to bring it out, and when they finally did it was completely cold. The bacon wrapped shrimp were the only redeeming part in the meal. We barely saw our server the whole time, though the restaurant wasn’t busy at all. To make it even worse, the food is over priced for what you get and the quality. Our bill was $86, for bland food, warm beer, and horrible service. I would gladly pay that price if the food was good or at least if the service was decent. I have never before written a bad review or felt compelled to do so but this was just so crazy to us, and horribly disappointing. I would highly recommend instead going down the road to Lupe Tortilla. We had brunch there today, the food was delicious, the drinks were great, the service was out sounding and the portions were fantastic, and our bill was only $42, though I would have happily paid the $86 for that experience.

The atmosphere was nice & the service by Marisol was excellent. I ordered the beef fajita tacos & they were cold so not much flavor there. The flour tortillas from my husband's quesadillas were not cooked all the way & either was the meat (It was red). (We make it a habit not to return food once it's been served.)

The food was good but not great. The staff is kind and accommodating. Very friendly. I enjoyed my time. Would visit again.
