    Inside the bar
    Hannah F.

    Say No Mas is exactly what 20th Street needed, bringing Tex-Mex flavors and a fun, open air bar the heights area. Unlike many of the neighboring bars on this street, Say No Mas stays true to its identity with several tequila, mezcal and licor 43 forward house cocktails. The large half circle bar under a lofted pergola feels a like a vacation escape and is great spot to people watch bar goers on a Friday night. While 20th Street always feels pretty young, a bouncer checks IDs on entrance. I didn't try any food this evening but I'm excited to see where this place goes.

    They just opened, so I'll be nice and overlook a couple small hiccups for now. Here's the breakdown: Good: Great music, stylish design, and vacation vibes, the kind that transports you straight out of Houston to a beach restaurant in Miami or Cozumel. Food was decent, definitely a fun spot for a casual night out prior to checking out all the bars on the same street Not So Good: - $20 for parking is a bit of a turnoff. Most restaurants, especially on busy streets, still offer complimentary parking or validation. This felt a little out of place. - Automatic 20% gratuity for a table of two was unexpected, especially given that service wasn't particularly great. I usually tip 20% anyway, but it's worth mentioning, especially for those who might not catch it and end up double tipping (like I have in the past). I live nearby, so I'll definitely give them another shot soon after they've had some time to settle in and will try some of their cocktails. Hopefully, the next visit earns that 5th star instead of losing more.

    Food and service was spot on. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. We ordered the street tacos and I now crave them. The bartender was attentive and super friendly with free samples of pina colada (which actually has liquor) and his michelada mix. Both were excellent. The vibe is where it's at. I feel like I'm at a resort in Mexico! Highly recommend!

    Warning. They add 20% auto tip to your bill instead of just increasing the prices 20%. This is unacceptable and a deceptive practice.

    Since our first visit to Baso, have been eager to return so we went for our anniversary dinner…read moreyesterday evening. Waited too late to book reservation so got bar seating but it was just fine and service was great. Upon arriving we were so nicely greeted by the hostess, felt very welcome. Our cocktails were very good--and Old Fashioned and a "Crime!". For a starter we had the aka obi, then the endive salad (best I've had!) and for entrees we shared the shrimp and the whole striped bass which is butterflied. For dessert we got the Basque Cheesecake and it was heavenly. Baso has quickly become my favorite high-end restaurant in the Heights. The portions are nice and the flavors are outstanding. We left beyond satisfied and looking forward to our next foodie adventure at Baso.

    This is honestly some of the best cooking in Houston right now, although with a price point that…read moremakes it a bit out-of-reach for a regular occurrence. This is a bit of a dated review, but we came here for a Valentine's dinner as a special occasion. We got seats at the bar counter behind the fire (which to me was the best seat in the house) so we could be close to the action. One thing you'll notice is that the place is quite loud, I think which owes to the low ceilings (so don't expect like a quiet and romantic vibe). The meal started out great with the bread and butter - bread was sourced from Magnol, which was a huge green flag to start. The oysters were extremely fresh and absolutely delicious. We also had a dish with tuna over crispy rice which was my fiancee's favorite of the night. My personal favorite was the salad (I know that is crazy to say at a restaurant that specializes in live fire cooking) - but the way they zested all different types of citrus/lemons, peppers, chiles, and the way the herbs they put into it, created what was one of the most memorable salads I have ever had. All in all the food was excellent. Service was great (the night we were there, Max Lappe was there sending out food to customers himself). I do kind of wish the atmosphere was a little more quiet. With that said, expect to spend around $200pp (we did share a bottle of wine though).

At the host stand, Paul was actually there! He must have seen my fan girly eyes get big because he immediately looked away and down at the stand... awkward.... thankfully my fan girl immediately recognized the red flags and shut down my enthusiasm (although I'm pretty sure he already heard me tell my friend "that's him" ) . The host standing beside him was very friendly and showed us to our seats. The wait staff was very efficient with the perfect amount of "checking in" and sparkling water refills. My gal pal and I went for the tasting menu: 1st course - aquechile, 5*! My favorite dish of the night. So refreshing and even though it was dark in the restaurant, the phone captured the vibrant green sauce. Delicious! 2nd course - headcheese, 3.5* Interesting dish, very unique. 3rd course - Tamal, 3*. It was ok, nothing outstanding in terms of flavor, but not my least favorite dish. 4th course - lap cheong and beans, 4*. Wonderful savory flavor and a generous portion. Beans were perfect. 5th course - carrots, 2.5*, not quite a solid 3 mainly because they were bland. Pretty to look at but unmemorable...not bad, just not anything. We didn't understand this dish. 6th course - brisket curry, 4.5* This was my 2nd favorite bite (my gal pals #1). That sauce was slap ya mama good! So satisfying. 7th course - dessert trio, 4*. A great set of bites and all different but work well together. We appreciate the waiter giving us a direction of what to eat 1st, 2nd, 3rd. I will definitely be back to try the fried chicken!
