- FFrancesHouston •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoTable for 8 on the patio today for lunch. Weather and view were amazing, as was the experience. Ordered a lunch item, the cheese enchilada and beef taco al carbon, and it was delicious. Adding the queso blanco on the taco took it over the top. Quick but not rushed, and very attentive service. Half of our party was from out of state, and they were blown away by their meals. Can't wait to go back for a margarita!More infoEscalante's Fine Tex-Mex & Tequila - The WoodlandsPrice: Moderate• Tex-Mex• The Woodlands•4.6
