   Good food, not worth the expense. Save some dollars and go next door to Chuys. We were hoping for an upscale dining experience to celebrate Mother's day and a couple birthdays, but the service was only average and the food was good but not spectacular for the price. I am someone willing to pay for quality. This was not it. Salsa was basically one step above tomato juice. We had to ask for menus when the waiter came to take our order. They brought queso on the house cuz they realized they had been ignoring us, which was nice but the meal was still only average. Never received extra rice and beans and had to ask to have it taken off the bill. Cocktails were good but too expensive for average. Sopapillas were almost like puffed tortilla chips. Disappointing. I can get the same food or better for a lot less at 90% of the Mexican food restaurants in Houston. Was not impressed.

   We have had great experiences in the past at Armando's. That's why my wife asked to go there for Mother's Day with all of our grown kids. The restaurant was very loud and they had squeezed in as many tables as possible which almost made it hard to get up and go to the restroom. It took a very long time for the waiter to come to our table, and throughout the 2.5 hour lunch we had, it took close to 20 minutes on average before someone would check on us, fill our waters, replace our drinks or bring our food. The food was tepid and by the time we got it, we almost weren't hungry any more. So, almost $400 in lunch, that took way too long, was too hard to hear each other at the table, etc. Very atypical experience for us at Armando's. Will have to think about whether or not we go back again.

   For spending $100 plus dollars on Crab enchiladas It’s was ok, lack of seasoning on the rice and was a little hard.

   Another incredible visit to Armando’s. We’ve been going here for many years. Food is always excellent, tasty, and well-presented. Our favorite server, Joe, ALWAYS takes excellent care of our guests and us. We are thankful for his seamless, expert service and guidance. Always a great time at Armando’s. Thank you! JB

   Good morning, Ali! Thank you so much for leaving some feedback for us here. I am so sorry to hear you were forgotten in the restaurant and the food came out incorrectly. I will look into who your server was and discuss this incident with him. I hope you will be back to give us another chance. After almost 50 years in business we understand every guest is important and we always aim to exceed your expectations.

    The fajita's I had were good but not great. Also, the first batch of chips they brought out were stale. They immediately remedied the problem and the second batch were good. The waiter was great, monitoring us without constant interruption. The valet has been great during all of my visits.
