“ We have been hearing about this restaurant for quite some time and finally made it during our last our trip to Houston. Needless to say, this place is very well put together with very energetic ambience. You're greeted by music and a vibrant scene. The cocktail menu has some great drinks, including excellent Mezcal offerings. We shared the tomahawk steak which was made to perfection and served at the table side in a beautiful showing. The Branzino was also excellent. The desserts were spectacular, tasty and the presentation unforgettable. The wine menu is extensive and has a great collection of Mexican wines as well. This is a definitely Above average restaurant with a great ambience and an overall great experience. ”

“ This place is awesome for a date night or catching up with friends. The ambiance is grown and sexy.. that's is it. You can move your shoulders, enjoy the music, the show if they having one and converse with your friends, your boo, or someone you trying to impress on a date. The service is A1, with the server, and those working with them being very polite, helpful, and attentive. We even got to talk to the apprentice chef who was helping with making the food. The cocktails I had were a 10/10 except for the passion fruit mojito. The passion fruit mojito was beyond sour but the cocktail version was delicious. The Mayan prawns are a 10/10. It was full of flavor, and the prawns were the correct size. Notice I did not say shrimp, I said prawns which are a way bigger version of their crustacean brethren. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and the presentation of the strawberry tres leches cake and the complimentary brownie and ice cream was wonderful. The strawberry tres leches cake is a 10/10 and if you like strawberry shortcake, you would love this. Now... the place is pricey, so please don't come in here expecting to pay below $37 for a food item. The most basic thing you can get which is a burger is going to cost you. I'll put it like this, if you are going to come here, you are going to spend money and to some it will be worth it and to others it may not be. My personal opinion is that it was worth it because my wife and I had a beautiful 1 year anniversary here. The portions fit us, the price made sense to us, and we left happy. If you looking for cheap eats with flavor, don't come. If you looking for pricy eats with flavor, come on through. ”

“ Toca Madera - I had mixed feelings about visiting when it opened in June. It seemed like more of a place to go when on vacation, and I wanted to venture outside of my own town when I did go. However, with a reason to celebrate, we decided to try it out for a Sunday dinner. We went all out and ordered the American Wagyu Flaming Tomahawk 40oz. It arrived at our table flaming, with the server scooping out the bone marrow and melting it into a chimichurri. I know that sounds extravagant, but it truly was just as impressive in person. As a huge bone marrow fan, the presentation alone blew me away! The steak had a great char and was perfectly cooked to everyone's preference, thanks to the hot rock they provided. The steak came out medium-rare, and for those who preferred medium, they could use the rock to cook it further--such a great idea! The chimichurri added a nice flavor add-on, but make sure to eat it fast as the bone marrow does solidify. For sides, we had the seasonal vegetables (carrots) and the truffle mac & cheese, which paired perfectly with the steak. It was a wholesome meal, leaning more on the American side than the Mexican side, contrary to what I expected, but that didn't take away from the experience. The restaurant itself is huge, with a beautiful entrance--be prepared for a line of people taking pictures! It's a very lively spot. Our waiter was friendly, though we did have to request water a few times. For dessert, we chose the Oaxaca Chocolate Mousse, a vegan chocolate cake with strawberry mousse, and oat milk ice cream. Honestly, that's a move I didn't expect. (Fun story, we wanted the brownie, but our waiter mentioned it was reserved for birthdays. However, since we were celebrating a job promotion, he brought it out for us anyway--thoughtful! ”
