Located on the tracks behind Hamburger Mary. Great location. We heard awesome things about El Buda so had to try. Very welcoming atmosphere. Chef Treviño made his rounds to all of the tables. He is very hospitable and presents each table with appetizers on the house. The Pork dumplings and Duck Nachos were absolutely perfect. Well thought out and not filling at all. I followed with Grouper Ceviche, where again, it was well planned with plenty of local Atlantic Grouper yet not filling. Short ribs were the Best in Town. November and December are 2 for 1 months. Free appetizers nightly. Make your reservations now online and don’t miss out. THE BEST

Building security guard informed us that the restaurant has been closed for over three months and that he has a number of attempts nightly to access this closed restaurant. Save yourself the headache and use somewhere, anywhere else.

Apparently this restaurant has been closed for a couple of weeks. However this still confirmed my reservation. I showed up with 10 people for a birthday dinner to a restaurant that wasn’t there. Not happy.

Had confirmed reservation. Drove three hours to go to restaurant (knew the cuisine from Chef’s other restaurants). It was very difficult to find the place. After finally finding the restaurant it was Closed. Why would they confirm a reservation it they were closed?

We made reservations for my husband's birthday and when we arrived, the restaurant was closed indefinitely. There is nothing on their social media pages, website, or even signage out front to indicate the closure. The only reason we knew was because a security guard for another restaurant nearby told us. We had to find a new place to go at the last minute. Horrible experience.
