    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).

I was so excited to try Jun on the heels of their impressive win of James Beard's Best Restaurant 2026 award, and my foodie friend and I eagerly embarked on the journey through their tasting menu. Alas, the trip turned bitter... multiple times. On the bright side, service was gracious and attentive, and I was impressed with our server's knowledge of the menu and prep details. And we actually kicked the meal off on a promising note with 2 highlights. The espresso martini was STELLAR and easily one of the best I've had. I was also dying to try the oysters (oysters + beef tallow = yes please!) that were not on the tasting menu, and the flavors were wonderfully complex: briny, savory, with a delightful kick from the chili oil. I couldn't wait for the rest of this meal! Unfortunately, we found every single course that followed to be decidedly underwhelming. Their tamales' flavor was flat, and its lack of any filling was disappointing though the chicken skin on top was tasty. The skin on the fish was flavorful, but the flesh was unremarkable and could have been saved with a sauce or even a brown butter bath. The bitterness in the brisket course was overpowering and off-putting, and the carrots also tasted bitter. The dessert course was split: the bitterness continued into the doughnuts, which was unpleasant, but the cheese flan was delicious. The restaurant itself is a tasteful mix of industrial chic elements, and the dining room space is on the quaint side. Parking is a bear as is the case with too many restaurants in The Heights, and there is no valet so plan accordingly. My friend and other patrons had to drive around and lurk for 10 minutes until class at the neighboring workout studio let out and opened up some spaces. Curb your expectations here... something someone should never have to do an award-winning restaurant.
