I must give this a 5 star rating due to their tamales!! I hate tamales to begin with but my work…read morewas hosting birthdays like they do every month. This time it was tamales. I was so hungry, considering the fact I hadn't eaten since the night before, and it was about mid afternoon at the time. I was like "well what do I have to lose? My hunger?" I closed my eyes and ate the chicken one. I'm glad they have chicken tamales. Usually it's pork only. When I say OH-MMM-GEEE!! They were not dry, which is the reason I don't like them in the first place. Super moist, great flavor- another reason why I don't fancy them. Most tamales I've tried have been bland. These were hands down the best I've had. Can't wait to eat them again!

Solid option for barbacoa and corn tortillas. This place also serves birria, menudo, and carnitas…read moreon the weekends. I suggest purchasing your food on the earlier side as the last part of the barbacoa can be a bit on the fattier side. A large package of tortillas runs $3.00 while the barbacoa is ~$17/lb. What I like about the barbacoa vs other places is that the meat is nicely marbled, with very little fat and good seasoning!

So I've been here twice now. The first time I came was for restaurant week- they had a great menu…read morewith lots of options! El Pulpo is my favorite dish from here! I came back the second time just for this! For the restaurant week I tried the suckling pig- i was honestly a little disappointed with it. The waiter had recommended it but i ended up getting some gristle at some point and couldn't finish eating as it really turned me off of it. For dessert I had the (tarta de Santiago)-almond cake- again it was fine- I wasn't overly impressed with it- was a little dry. When I came back the second time was a much better experience! Started off with el pulpo again (of course) and we also had the Patatas bravas.- they are very unique and creamy. We also tried a pistachio and beet salad which was very light and refreshing. The almond soup- was ok- I will pass on it next time. And the main course we had the Bomba rice with seafood- very similar to paella. I really enjoyed this dish! Desserts we had the Gypsy's arm- sponge cake with carmelized custard- complimentary for my birthday :) and we also tried the warm manchego cheese lava cake. I really enjoyed both of them. Overall is it was a much better experience the second time around and will definitely be returning for more pulpo

Lucky to be able to get a table for an early dinner date night on a Wednesday at BCN. Reservations…read moreare a must for this Michelin gem. Nestled in an old home, the atmosphere is upscale and cozy at the same time. The restaurant is filled with masterpieces that match the culinary artistry for which BCN Taste & Tradition is known. BCN...the airport code for Barcelona. So of course the food brings the delights of Spanish cuisine to Montrose. It also features modern Spanish masters in the decor. The complimentary bread service was a great way to start the meal. Since we don't eat pork or shellfish, they brought us a small plate filled with manchego cheese (my favorite) and small white spoons topped with the most delicious artichoke hearts. Thank you for the VIP service. What a great to start a five star dining adventure! We went for the Houston Restaurant Week (HRW) menu. Our waiter, Roberto, was great. He helped guide us given our dietary restrictions. He also gave us an art history lesson on the beautiful works that are scattered throughout the converted two story former Victorian home. You coukld tell that he and his assistant, Romy, love their "home." For the appetizers, the "Patatas Bravas BCN" is a classic. Potatoes filled with spicy oil and alioli. The perfect bite for a hot appetizer. We also had the beet-pistachio-raspberry ravioli salad. The paper thin sliced multicolored beets are magically filled with kefir cheese and pistachio oil to create beet ravioli. So delicious. The entrees were so delicious. The Grilled Duck Breast is served with sliced quince, Idiazábal cheese sauce, pine nuts and balsamic vinegar reduction. It is so beautiful and the sauce is a joyful explosion of flavor. My husband upgraded to the Grilled Lamb Chops as the Grandma's sauce for the filet mignon has shellfish in it. Thank you, Roberto, for letting us know. The lamb chops are served with BCN potatoes, roasted zucchini filled with eggplant, red bell pepper, onion, and a confit tomato and a side of garlic alioli to enhance the lamb. So tasty. Finished the meal with the crispy fillo dough and the chocolate cake in textures. The crispy fillo dough is filled with the creamiest Catalán vanilla brûlée and aged rum raisins. The decadent chocolate cake and chocolate mousse is served with a cute little ice cream cone filled with a refreshing raspberry sorbet. The perfect way to cap a wonderful meal. Since Roberto told us so much about the art, I had to visit the original masterpieces by modern Spanish master artists. Joan Miró. Pablo Picasso. Salvador Dalí. Paintings and ceramics that adorn the walls, the bookcases, the fireplace. Thank you to Paco for sharing the story behind the two Salvador Dalí pieces in the private dining room. A necklace for Dominique de Menil, who founded the Menil Collection, and a collage created to advertise pantyhose. Amazing! The attention to the fine details throughout BCN Taste +Tradition is commendable. From making sure that we were enjoying our meal to watching the waiters steam and iron the table cloths for the next guest, BCN definitely takes dining to another level. Thank you to Paco, Roberto and Rony for an exceptionally memorable dining experience. We've been to BCN and MAD. I can't wait to see what is on the menu next for another five star immersive adventure. #3000+1

Adan made my stay…read moreat the hotel wonderful because he went above and beyond to be kind and make sure my food was delivered quickly! All week during my conference, Shaye was working hard at the Starbucks, delivering great service, tasty coffees and navigating a broken expression machine ... and all with a smile! On my last day I got to chat with her more since things calmed down and despite (what looked like), a crazy week, she still had a smile on and was so nice. The whole staff was honestly amazing, Jennifer served my team and I during a VERY busy lunch rush and she navigated a 150+ crowd with ease. Abigail was running food out and had a bubbly personality and Rachel was also hustling hard during the height of a busy crowd! I really appreciated the whole staff here. As far as the food, I got a bagel with cream cheese everyday and it was perfect for a quick bite. My last day I treated myself to an omelette and it was a great finish. For lunch at Blake's I tried the chicken nachos and they were good as well. This place was always packed and the staff was consistently friendly and efficient while I stayed here! The overall vibe was chic and clean. I didn't get to try the buffet while I was here, but I did see several people enjoying it! Thank you!

I had tanked up on the continental breakfast before we go to Blake's so I didn't order anything but the table got junk fries, a waffle and the Nutella Monte Cristo.

Don't know what to say other than if you like Nutella you should try it. Waffle... was a good waffle. Coffee mid Service! 5 star. Very accommodating and welcoming. It's a vibe overlooking the pool and out on the ocean. We will be back if for nothing other than the junk fries!

The salmon was a very generous portion, perfectly seasoned with a great blackened crust.

We pulled up into the MFA parking lot and came across this beautiful truck. Colorful, eccentric, and best of all CLEAN. We walked up and took a look at their menu. Tostadas, burritos, quesadillas, and tacos, and all looking heavenly. They had plenty of meat choices too, such as chicken, beef, and even carnitas! We grabbed an order of their chicken tacos (all entrees served with beans and rice), and we were AMAZED. The food came out quick and perfectly hot. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and their toppings were so good! Our corn tortillas tasted fresh and the taco just melted in your mouth. Not only was the service quick and the tacos delicious, but the owner was SO incredibly nice. We spoke to him and his mother (who helped run the truck) and we were just in love with their kind, gentle personalities! We are obviously getting them to cater our wedding and do an updated review on their catering services. Since they are a food truck, they're not always in the same location. Just give them a call/text on the YELP phone number provided and they will tell you their location schedule, so you can hunt those tacos down!
