El Tiempo and Guadalajara are both overrated in my book. El Tiempo is for girls. The original Ninfa's, Hugo's, etc... that's some **** right there.
Guadalajara has a seafood enchilada topped with real lump crab meat filled with shrimp and crawfish for fifteen bucks. Its the best value in houston. Real lump crab meat bro
I went to Hugo's once. Paying for chips & salsa doesn't feel right and I'm the opposite of cheap. Also, I would say that place is definitely overrated from my one experience.
I like how this thread has taken many turns. I actually enjoyed El Tiempo and I eat from the sister El Tiempo Market all the time. I just didn't understand why it's like fancy car central...it was good food, but not something mind-blowing. Will give Guadalajara a shot the next Tex Mex go round.
Name brand. The first one was for the memorial crowd but didn't last l think because they try to market to a younger crowd. There was one downtown that turned into a club at nights. There is one on Richmond by Kirby
The one on Memorial? About as busy as a restaurant can be. Absolutely the best fajitas in town! Love that place. Live about a minute walk away from it. Washingtoners should get together for a margarita!
There was one on i10 for people in memorial. It was the first one but its no longer there. You are talking about Washington.
Looking for a decent spot tomorrow, preferably where people know how to conduct themselves... Specifically a bar ???
Without knowing what you are looking for, ie, Females, #GetWeird, ect.. I have taken my friends to mongoose vs cobra and they enjoyed it, good craft beers and a good vibe. Can get a little douchey (it is midtown) but just dominate a table (6 will fill it) and you can just shoot the **** for a while. If you wanna be a hipster and drink crazy craft brews then Moon Tower. Rudyards is a cool pub, darts, pool, good beers, and food I believe. I have never had a problem there. More what you are looking for if you are look for a (bar) bar, if that makes sense. If you want a club I can't really help you.
I'm pretty close with a Barney's manager. Her family are the owners. I'm trying to get her to talk to her family about getting Comcast. I was looking at prices for bars and it doesn't look expensive. This girl is still young plus she doesn't seem to watch the rockets . I can't seem to stress how it could help their numbers.
I used to hangout at SRO's in the northwest mall. there used to be three, a really big one on westhiemer and gessner. the westheimer one, i hung out there with friends around 99 watching NFL games. They had a forty foot main screen. they had stadium seating with individual televisions so you could watch your game. this family ruined three sports bars, the last closing sunday. i don't know what happened to the westhiemer location but the northwest mall location they just seemed to do whatever they could to discourage a younger crowd. and by younger i mean me, i'm 38. sometimes i just don't get it.
I've been to SRO's a bunch too and yeah that was the longest running and last location. Doesn't help that they didn't have Rockets anymore, generally atrocious bands and a huge boner of a doorman on weekends. Had crawfish on Friday then randomly it closed on Sunday, hit everyone working there by surprise.
We used to have our sales meetings* at the SRO on 1960 every Thursday night in the mid 90's. After a while, we moved them down the street to Wolfies because the waitresses all wore daisy duke shorts. *booze-fests charged to the area manager's company credit card
