    Nice place at “The Mall”, Galleria Houston is what it is. Tucked in on the end of the mall in a convenient place to valet park. Took a little while to get us seated even with reservations. Younger staff that was a maybe a little overwhelmed with a a restaurant that was not really that busy. However, the flavors of the Shrimp Tacos and the Vegetarian Enchiladas were very tasty. We did the Eat Drink TX Charity meal for $25./meal. Portions were bigger than expected and more than enough food. We’ll be back.

    The food and service is usually so good. This time the service was sub par the waitress seemed bothered to help us and the food seemed way over cooked.

    Stayed at Westin Oaks at Galleria mall, restaurant was conveniently located. Service was excellent. The table tortilla chips were completely unsalted and the guacamole was bland. Ordered the Tucson Chimichanga and it was fried quite well, nice crunch, but disappointingly served “kinda warm”. Ate about 1/4 of it before the temperature issue became off-putting. My party also ordered tortilla soups and a salad which they enjoyed. I should have sent my plate back but did not want to wait for a refire and eat solo while everyone else was finished.

    Really good! Went at about 4:30 PM so wasn’t too busy but there were people in there. Our server was super sweet and helpful. Didn’t catch his name, but he was a tall black guy. It took less than 30 minutes to order get all the food for a party of 3. The food was amazing and it wasn’t outrageously priced. Will definitely be back
