    Saldivia's is one of my Houston favorites. A local, family run restaurant with great food, great wines, great service, and a relaxed, non-pretentious atmosphere at a very reasonable price. Thanks!

    Located in the corner of a nondescript strip mall, Saldivias was simply exceptional. A business dinner for two, I was embarrassed to learn that Saldivias was nine years old (in this location), and I had never been. I had the entrana, my colleague had lamb and lentil soup. Feel free to surprise yourself with this fun gem....you will be glad you did.

    I should have taking the red flag when I made my reservation on open table that they had many available spots, but we arrived they didn’t care about reservations as they didn’t even have names on any list. I made the reservation at 8:15. We were sat down soon after we arrived to a table that did not have tablecloth. Our name was not even on the list. So what was the purpose to even make a reservation or even be listed on open table. I requested a tablecloth…. All tables around us were served with drinks, appetizers and even food. Even though they had arrived after we did. I asked the busboy to give us bread and salsa to calm our / my hungers. The young guy told me he was from El Salvador and he was understanding how hungry I was. I asked the waiter that ended up being the daughter of either the manager or the owner according to her about our food, and told her we were sitting there for a long time hungry just to see plates passing to other tables that arrived later than us. Our food arrived two hours later past 10:00 pm, it was time to close the restaurant. We were rushed to eat since plates were picked from our table not even finished eating. Now it was time for them to close the registers and head out. Even the manager or owner was picking up dishes from ours and other table. We got rushed to eat for 20-25 minutes. The food was good, cold and at that point. after not eating all day from working from 8:30am-6:30pm in my own business… eating at that late at night and fast, the food did not settle well. My bill was over 102.00, but It was not about the money and I even left a tip. Service very POOR Customer service POOR lack of waiter/waiters POOR price WAY TO HIGH for the portions and the service Waitress/waiters were no enough POOR Attention to detail POOR This restaurant should not be on open table is they are not honoring the table, and the service.

    very quiet monday evening. Owner was waiter, gracious and helpful as usual. There were 6 of us and everyone commented about how good the food was. The steaks(entrana-outside skirts) were succulent and perfectly prepared! Do not miss Saldivias.

    Once again Saldivia's did not disappoint. The traditional food preparations of Uruguay were very good. I especially like the hearts of palm salad. The selection of wines made from the tannat grape is a treat. There is always a good one to try at a reasonable price.

    After passing by this restaurant so many times and looking for something different for a birthday lunch for a friend, I decided to try it out. The first plus for me, the staff were masked and the tables were distanced. The server was great and while we were looking over the menu, suggested we look at the back for the daily special. I was looking for a really nice lunch for this friend, but the special looked great, and with the recommendation, we decided to try it. The food was very tasty, well prepared and a great value. In fact, so good, that my friend suggested we bring another and come back next week, which we are planning to do. The wine was very reasonably priced and a good sized pour. Very enjoyable.

    They were very busy the nite before Valentine's Day but were very courteous and apologetic for the delay. The food is always delicious. This is my husband's new favorite chicken pasta. We appreciate family owned businesses and will continue to be patrons.

    We went to Saldivia's to use up a gift certificate we had purchased at a charity auction that was about to expire. We were very pleasantly surprised with the menu, wine selection, and the attention. Due to Covid, we were the only ones in the restaurant when we arrived, and the owner himself was our waiter and we had a great time chatting with him. He showed us the wine cellar room, which would be nice for an intimate small group. The Uruguayan/Italian menu was unique, but that is the nature of the culture in Uruguay, and I had the Uruguayan skirt steak, and my wife had the ravioli, and both were very good. Houston need to keep restaurants like this in business.

    Rarely have I been to a restaurant and been as pleasantly surprised as when I dined at Saldivia’s. The food was excellent as was the service. The wine selection was top notch. Really, I’d give the restaurant more than five stars if I could. Can’t wait to return soon!!
