If I had to choose one word to summarize my experience at Mamajuana Café, it would be: perfect…read more The restaurant describes itself as a Latin American dining experience. Our waitress explained that the menu is a fusion of Dominican and Japanese cuisine. Since I have never visited either the Dominican Republic or Japan, I cannot speak to its authenticity. What I can say with confidence is that they have mastered flavor. The team at Mamajuana Café clearly pays attention to every detail--from timing and presentation to the thoughtful combination of ingredients and spices. Every dish felt carefully crafted and intentionally prepared. I only wish I lived closer so I could return more often and explore more of the menu. We ordered the burger and the filet mignon, and I highly recommend both. In fact, the burger was excellent. My only regret is ordering something familiar instead of taking the opportunity to try one of their more unique creations. If our first visit is any indication, Mamajuana Café is a place well worth returning to.

It's a great deal if you're a mimosa person. I am. I will be returning.

I was wanted to try…read moredifferent cuisines and Texas specialities and since it's part of the vast array of international restaurants at the Post location it was perfect. But what really caught my eye was the ceviche they had available. The service was good, she showed us the difference between the Ecuadorian and Peruvian ceviche that we were interested in trying. Both were seasoned very well, but my friend's Peruvian ceviche was definitely the headlining item for her. It was actually her first time having ceviche with fish, and I think it was a pretty good introduction. We also got a very generous portion, which I always appreciate when trying something new that I end to enjoying. All in all, we really enjoyed the ceviche and would definitely return to Andes Café to try some of the other items on the menu. But for sure, the ceviche will be making a repeat appearance on our next visit.

I have been a regular customer at Gloria's, which makes the way this was handled even more…read moreunacceptable. Within 3-5 minutes of my arrival, the valet driver, Gustavo, was involved in an accident in my BMW that caused substantial damage. Valet staff and restaurant management knew there had been an accident, yet no one came to notify me. I sat in the restaurant for more than 90 minutes completely unaware that my vehicle had been damaged. I found out only when I was leaving, when Gustavo approached me with, "Don't get an attitude, I had an accident in your car." That was his opening statement. Not an apology. Not "Are you okay?" Not "We need to speak with you." He damaged my property and somehow I was the one being warned about my attitude. He then became combative, raised his voice at me, and presented himself as though he were management. The level of audacity was almost impressive. Restaurant management did not handle it much better. Johnathan and Jose both acknowledged that I am a regular and recognized my face, yet management showed very little urgency, offered no meaningful acknowledgment of what had happened, and did not even offer to comp my meal. No, a complimentary dinner would not fix a BMW. It would, however, have demonstrated basic hospitality after allowing a regular customer to unknowingly eat dinner for 90 minutes while his vehicle sat outside damaged. The communication afterward with Cedars Valet was even more concerning. Mohammed, Cedars Valet President acknowledged in writing, "we admit what we did" and initially stated, "Rest assure we will cover our damage." Yet the conversation quickly shifted to Cedars attempting to decide, before BMW has even completed their inspection, which portions of the damage they would and would not accept responsibility for. Interesting approach considering Cedars had possession of my vehicle when the accident occurred. Accidents can happen. What does not have to happen is failing to notify the customer, allowing them to sit inside for an hour and a half, greeting them with hostility when they finally discover it, and then immediately trying to minimize the damage afterward. If you valet at Gloria's, understand the risk is apparently not limited to whether your vehicle gets damaged. Pay very close attention to how you may be treated once it does. As someone who regularly patronized this restaurant, I expected significantly better. The accident was bad enough. The lack of transparency, professionalism, accountability, and basic customer care afterward is what made the experience truly unacceptable.

La Calle is one of those places that you go by when you've been bar hopping and say "dang, I could really use a street taco." Bonus points if that happens to be a Tuesday night where they have their $1.69/corn taco deal if you buy five or more. It's not quite a place to get other things, because a beer can run you $8 for a Modelo, and the postre (flan) was a strange cheesecake texture that was still a bit too sweet for me. But, they definitely crank out those street tacos and they hit the spot after a few drinks.

We street parked without trouble finding a spot. The inside is upscale and sleek and transported us into vacation mode. It reminded us of some of the really nice resort restaurants that we tried in Mexico. We were seated right away without reservations. Our waiter was so helpful and made sure we were having a good time. Drinks We love mezcals, and they offer to tailor your drink if you have certain preferences. I wanted the spiced pluma, and they switched the tequila for a mezcal, which I loved. I also tried the masa menos as is and thought it was delicious. There were many native Oaxacan items on the menu, but they also had as a special an escamoles taco as an appetizer. Apparently escamoles (ant larvae) is only available in 2 restaurants in the US. This was definitely the highlight of the whole meal. It was nutty and delicious, grilled perfectly- really a must try if available! First course Tetela: delicious and unique Ceviche: compared to everything else, this was a little lack luster (should have gotten the memelita) Second course Tlayuda: interesting and fun to try once but wouldn't get again, kinda like a thin crust pizza Cachetes de Res: the meat was so tender and really enjoyed the mole (so perfect with a mezcal drink) Third course Helado de Elote: this was ok, would consider their other desserts Cacao: huge, a show stopper and tasty. So many textures! You can really appreciate the time and effort to create this dish. We will definitely be back, whether for their happy hour or to try their mole tasting menu.

It was really good, had a solid mole, but the fresh green salsa and habanero salsa made it even better. After that, we tried the Barbacoa meal and the beef cheek meal. both were four out of five I preferred the Barbacoa of the two For a high-end pricier Mexican restaurant, I would say this was good not great. The food was authentic, which I love but I don't think it lived up to its price point and there are better high-end Mexican restaurants in Houston. Would I go back? Maybe but I wouldn't be in a rush to do so. Also, the restaurant has nice decor, but the windows are up against the valet parking lot, not the nicest scenery.
