    Good Mexican food is hard to find up here in Montana so every time I’m in Houston I stop in. The redfish on the half shell is the best thing on the menu!

    The new drink menu leaves much to be desired. Not good. The food is the same. I ordered roasted salmon hoping to eat a bit healthier, and it still made me feel bad after eating. My husband and I don’t know what it is about the food here, but every time we eat it, we feel bad afterwards. Service was okay, but it was packed. The screaming child next to us made it extremely loud and unpleasant. If a small baby cries for a moment, no big deal. This was an older child throwing a tantrum. Who takes their toddler out for dinner at 8pm?! Awful. Almost felt bad for our server.

    We booked a reservation for my sisters 30th birthday party for six. We were seated pretty fast, however, it took the waitress almost 30 minutes just to welcome us and get our drink orders. After we paid, the waitress forgot to return my debit card. It also took them a while to find the debit card which was very concerning. Overall the food was good but I think the staff needs a little more training on how to provide customer service.
