    Beef fajitas
    Lorece S.

    We stopped here because we were nearby for an event. It's really more of a bar with food, but the food was pretty good. I'm doing 75 hard so can't speak to the drinks, but they seemed to have a good selection. Service was friendly. Overall, it didn't wow me enough to intentionally travel to come back to, but can make for a nice stop if you're in the area.

    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.

    I didn't get to sit at the counter but it looked like that's the spot to be if you want dinner and…read morea show. As soon as you walk in there's a small bar and as you enter the main area there an open kitchen by the counter seating and then there are some lounge like chairs and several small dinner tables. This place is more for a date as the tables are on the smaller size and the place itself. Reservations is probably a good idea to have and they don't have valet parking so the parking is free. They had plenty of parking when I went. We got the drinks menu first and they had a bunch of different drinks. The regular menu isn't so extensive but it did have a lot of sharable items. They also had a taste menu valued at $150 per person. I tried the oysters, elk, quail, crab, and sweet shrimp. For the dessert I had the basque cheesecake. My favorites were the quail where you get 4 tender pieces of quail and baby deviled eggs. My next favorite was the sweet shrimp which was an interesting flavor since it had been pollen in the broth like sauce. The elk was also an interesting bite the thin cracker on top of it was made from sunflower seeds. The dessert was also my highlight. I love basque cheesecake and this one came with a slight twist for me. They had a fluffy white creme under the cheesecake which reminded me of like a marshmallow fluff. Service was great the server knew the menu well and had smooth transitions between meals. The only real reason I give this place 3 stars is because of my palate and the price value of the food. The food was good but it didn't stand out too much for me.

This location is casual and has plenty of seating (tables, bar + outdoor seating). You order at the counter and typically wait around 20 minutes for the pizza to be ready. It can definitely get busy which makes parking a bit tricky, but I've always managed to get parking in the lot. My go-to is the fancy backpacker. I've only tried the Pepperoni Madness and Fancy Backpacker. The crust is perfectly thin and the toppings pair well together. I would also recommend adding pepperoni to the Fancy Backpacker. Gypsy Poet is always consistent with the taste and service, you can always expect a good experience in both aspects. I think it definitely lives up to the title of having the best pizza in Houston and is one of my favorite go-to dinner spots!

We ordered the Pepperoni Madness ($17.99), which is topped with hot honey and was delicious. We also got the Cappellone ($17.99), which comes with house tomato sauce, fior di latte, mozzarella, portobello mushroom caps, shallots, and Italian sausage. It was equally delicious. The dough had a nice chew, and the crust kept that consistency throughout. This was the only pizza spot we hit up during our Houston trip, and I'm glad we chose this place. I would definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for quality, artisan-style pizza. * Indoor tables are first come first serve

For appetizers, I had the Drunken Garlic Bread, and I honestly don't know exactly what was on it, but it was SO good. Lots of cheese, garlic, and just overall deliciousness. We got a few different appetizers for the table, and everything we tried was great. For my entree, I got the Italian Drunken Dip Sandwich. It was WAY smaller than I expected. It was good, but compared to the appetizers, it wasn't anything mind-blowing. The menu said it would come on the drunken bread, similar to the appetizer, but the bread on my sandwich was much harder. Not sure if they ran out of the actual drunken bread or if that's how it's supposed to be, but it was a little disappointing. Overall, I really enjoyed the appetizers and the atmosphere, and I'd definitely come back for more of a happy hour vibe.

The setting is great and it works for couples, families and large groups and they have a great back patio which is nice when weather is nice.
