Tequila 45 was just okay. The restaurant is definitely Instagram-able. They did a great job with the decor & lighting inside. My husband and I walked in and was able to grab a seat at the bar. The reason i'm giving them 3 stars is because of the service. The food took extremely long to come out. The bartender/waitress barely checked on us. We actually liked the food & drinks, but we felt like an afterthought. I didn't really feel a warm welcome dining here. It's a nice spot, but we probably wouldn't return.
I don't think it was my imagination -- this was easily some of the best (if not THE best) Mexican food I've had in my life. The tortillas were 2-die-4..........so fluffy. The chicken and beef fajitas were perfection. The service was TOP NOTCH. Always making sure I was taken care of. Tortilla chips and salsas -- SO good. Nice kick -- both the green and orange. I have nothing more to add other than this place rocks! Two big thumbs up. A must visit if you're near Hobby. Can't wait to try again. (Better than Pappacitos if I must say!)
A Must-Visit Dining Experience in Houston! One of the greatest things about this restaurant is... well, everything! Let's start with what we all come for -- the food. From the lamb to the fish, and even the salsa served with the chips -- every bite was incredible. The flavors were bold, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The drinks? Fantastic. Honestly, I'd recommend ordering a little bit of everything just to experience how consistently amazing this place is across the board. Service That Sets the Standard The service here is outstanding. I've been twice now, and both times the team has impressed me. The manager personally came by our table to check in -- not just out of obligation, but out of genuine care. You don't have to go searching for a manager here; they're already out front making sure your experience is top-notch. That kind of proactive hospitality is rare and deserves major praise. Decor, Ambiance & Photo-Ready Vibes The decor is fabulous -- stylish, vibrant, and full of character. It's the perfect backdrop for selfies or those who live for the 'gram. As an amateur photographer, I'll admit I was tempted to turn the whole place into a photo shoot. Every corner has charm and energy that complements the dining experience beautifully. The Atmosphere: Day or Night, It Works During the day, the atmosphere is family- and friend-friendly -- great for brunch or a laid-back meal. But come evening, it transforms into one of Houston's go-to spots for a night out. Its proximity to nearby hotels makes it a convenient and inviting option for travelers looking for great food, good drinks, and a lively yet welcoming vibe. If I ever have a long layover in Houston, this will be my first stop. The combination of food, service, and atmosphere makes it one of those rare places you keep thinking about long after you've left. Trust me -- this spot is a must.
Was in Houston for a day and stumbled upon this establishment. When you walk in the place it has very festive ambiance with trendy areas in the restaurant to take pics for social media. The service is friendly and fast while paying attention to the table. I ordered the chicken fajitas with double beans. The food was really good. Cooked perfect with good taste. When/if back in town, I will be coming back.
Decided to check out the closest restaurant to our hotel and it didn't disappoint. Staff was friendly from the door. It was a busy Saturday night but we found seats at the bar. Close enough to hear the live band but far enough away so we could have a conversation. Drinks were tasty. Food hit the spot. There was a lot of cheese which I didn't mind but my sister could've done with a little less.
I came by for lunch recently. Very cute and clean restuarant. Staff was nice upon entry. Vanessa took care of me. I ordered the chicken fluatas. They were good came with Mexican rice and beans. Beans had a smokiness to them which were nice. I do wish the salsa was not so thin, but everyone's style is different. I did notice they have happy hour from 1-6 so if you are flying in to Hobby airport awaiting hotel or Airbnb check in I suggest stopping by. Prices and offerings were good. They had a $6 Mangonada with my name on it, but unfortunately I was working. Will definitely drop by if in the area.
Can't speak more highly of this place. We just flew in and were staying at the Springhill next door. We had a long day and wanted some beers and food. They told us the kitchen was closed but we were able to order beers. As we were drinking our beers they accommodated us and let us order food to go. Just amazing and above and beyond service! We ordered some tacos and there were delicious! I didn't get the names of the ladies serving us, but they were fantastic! Highly recommend!
Tequila 45 was not all at what I expected. Inside is very fancy, but family friendly. The staff are very accommodating. There's lots of space inside, so it's ideal for big gatherings. For those who love to drink (not me), like their name suggests, Tequila 45 has a full bar and a vast selection of wine and margaritas. Their food was the best Mexican cuisine I've ever had. I can tell they use great quality ingredients in their dishes. Their tortillas are served steaming hot from the oven! Tequila 45 really stands out with some of their unusual menu items like Alfredo pasta, burgers, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, Creme Brulé, puddings, pork chops, Pineapple Sunshine (basically Pineapple upside down cake), and Cinnamon Butter Cake. I personally liked that you can choose what rice you want, instead of just having only Spanish rice. Tequila 45 does have a lunch special and they even serve breakfast! They're open every day and yes, they take reservations. Downsides: Our waitress took a long time getting our orders, and they weren't even busy! Everything on their menu is expensive. Even the prices on their appetizers and desserts are outrageous! The rice on my plate wasn't cooked evenly. I would only come here for special occasions. Note: Tequila 45 no longer makes Nutella CAKE, they now serve Nutella PUDDING instead.
I was nervous about this place being so close to Hobby Airport, but it is truly little gem of an oasis. Apparently this spot has existed almost a year, but I just recently heard of it As I drove up I was impressed by the exterior layout and decor. It is modern, vibrant, and you definitely see the Latin themes As I walked through the door I was astonished with how trendy the interior is. Each section and room is almost a little work of art with murals, Hispanic decor, chandeliers, etc. in the lobby there is a pair of neon wings you can pose with. The attention to detail is mesmerizing. The chairs and glassware even have the restaurants name etched or cut into them The staff was attentive and professional. The menu has all sorts of delectable texmex dishes, and the drink menu is extensive Some tips: Come for happy hour. It lasts for several hours and while the menu isn't huge, there are a lot of great and affordable drinks and eats Cheers!!
Food was amazing!! Tried the Chili Von Queso Echiladas... Place is gorgeous and service was superb.
Very beautiful space, food was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately service didn't meet my standards. The guy kept forgetting to bring back what we asked for. And when we would tell him it looked like he would get upset. Two other guys did approach us one looked like he was a manager and they were just super nice and respectful. Once our waiter noticed he was talking to us his whole vibe changed and ended up bringing what he kept forgetting like tortillas, limes, or waters. Overall I do plan on going back and giving it another try.

It took a little bit for our server to come by and take our order but he finally did. We ordered the pork belly and guacamole to start. The pork belly was delicious as always but the guacamole didn't taste like guacamole. The chips and salsas were good. I prefer the red. The enchiladas were good and fresh and so was the Tequi-combo. I love the ambience, so pretty. Definitely coming back. Give them a try. read more
Who knew this delicious eatery was located here. Friends introduced us to this restaurant and we will definitely be back. Authentic food mixed with tasty specialty cocktails. Full bar with gorgeous fixtures and very.cook artwork. My husband had the lobster bisque with empanadas. I selected the parrillada chicken and beef with corn tortillas. This dinner was a hit. They have plenty of parking, but will get busier as the evening grows. Fridays they have live music on their spacious patio: Nice job! Friendly service! Excellent food! Welcoming vibe! Gracias! read more

This place is horrible, the service was slow and we were given plastic utensils for pork chops, salad, and shrimp. When we got up and asked for silverware we were told that they didn't have any. The place wasn't packed and near empty which is absurd. When we were given the check we had been overcharged for multiple items and asked to have them changed. I don't recommend this place. read more

This really is a nice establishment on IH 45 tucked in right behind the Springhill Suites. When you walk in the place is decorated in a beautiful Latin atmosphere, has large TVs all around and is huge. The staff is extremely friendly polite and responsive. We had a mixture of the regular and happy hour offerings, which by the way happy hour is from 1 to 8 PM each weekday. We each had a mangonada margarita, these are freshly made drinks, this one included fresh mangoes, and it was well poured and I could only describe the taste as excellent and will be back for another one. We ordered a chicken quesadillas off the regular menu and the fajita nachos off of the happy hour menu and barely could finish the two. The taste was exceptional. They also have really good sauces to complement these and I highly recommend both dishes. Because we were so full, we did not order any other dishes but will be back to try some of those later. I cannot recommend this place any higher than I am here. read more

I was a bit reluctant to eat here based on the hot or miss reviews but we had a great time. They have happy hour until 7 so we enjoyed a Paloma, mojito, and house margaritas. We shared the cheese enchiladas and guacamole (and we were very full!).Our food arrived quickly and our server Martin was very sweet and attentive. We will definitely rerun. read more

This place was amazing. I went twice in one day. I didn't know they played live music at night. I went right after my flight in and enjoyed their happy hour menu and the veggie fajitas. I forgot what it's called. Everything I ordered was good, but the veggies were literally just sautéed with no salt/ pepper or anything so make sure to add your own or use the salsas and guac. read more

This place is located near Hobby airport if you want a bite before take off. Easy to find and right off 45.....hence the name. My food was good but was even more delicious the next day. My friend got the tacos and they looked a tad sad and dry. Service was great and the ambiance was super cute with all the sombrero and skeletal artwork. I would visit when I'm back in Houston. read more

From the moment we walked into this place to the time we left it was amazing. The ambiance of the outside when you drive in hit perfectly with the chic rows of string lights that made you feel at home. The clean, elegant and hip decorations inside caught me by surprise when we walked in. Our waitress was prompt and knew the menu well. We started with the pulled pork and empanadas. I'm a pulled pork snob and these were nice and juicy. I wasn't a fan of the raspberry sauce but the actual belly was good. Now for the empanadas... WOW.. WOW.. WOW. They were crispy on the edges and the meat in the middle was so flavorful. Probably the best empanadas I've ever had. The sauce I could have rubbed all over my body . My husband ordered the birria tacos and I ordered the Grill Mix that waitress recommended. The chicken was so moist and flavorful and I normally dont like restaurant chicken because its always over cooked and dry. But this chicken... man.. it was slappen. The beef was a little dry but I forgot to order it medium rare and it did come out well done, but the flavor was there. I didn't get to try the shrimp but I will tomorrow because I took them to go. The rice and beans were on point I could have just kept eating them. I was able to try a bite of my husband's birria tacos and they exploded with flavor. Out of everything we ate my favorite was pretty much everything . We WILL return in the near future. We found a new spot and we can tell the owner/ chef love what they do. They put the love into their food. read more
Inviting and fun Ambience upon walking in. Restaurant is pretty big. Has an outside sitting area which reminds me of a beer garden. The inside has a bar with beautiful black and white tiles along the bottom. The place is lit with a few chandeliers and a lovely mural of Frida Kahlo. Read that the chef is from Mexico City and the food was really good. The drinks were well mixed and we walked in, just in time to enjoy an hour of their happy hour. This place is close to home so this is our new happy hour spot. read more

We had the Grilled Oysters. They were so delicious, covered in garlic butter & broiled cheese, with some of tastiest chipotle sauce to top at your preference. That unfortunately didn't get photographed, but if you like oysters 10/10, must try. For entrees, I had Arrachera Poblana. Beef fajita served with a Jalapeño Cream sauce atop a poblano pepper stuffed with Oaxaca cheese with rice, refried beans, & pico. I was so damn good. All of the elements came together for perfection. My guest had the Caldo de Marisco (aka seafood soup). It had tons of shrimp, tilapia, carrots, potatoes onions, with rice & garlic bread. It came in this giant boat bowl. Very large portion. She said it was so delicious & the broth was so flavorful. She was floored by all the shrimp & tilapia. Sometimes some places don't give you tons of protein in the soups; so she was impressed by the abundance of seafood. Drinks: India Bonita & Michelda. India Bonita was so good with strawberries, gin, tonic. The michelda mix was . Service was amazing. Our waiter was attentive, kind, & friendly. He went above & beyond. We also had about 6 different people asking if we needed anything. So everyone it there to ensure you enjoy your time there. This restaurant was so open, colorful, trendy with colorful murals & photos of Hispanic icons & culture. They 2 covered outdoor patios. read more

Stopped in awhile we were staying at the hotel next door. We sat at the bar to watch a game and eat some dinners. It's brightly lit with decorations and a fun atmosphere. The service was absolutely amazing from our bartender and waitress. The chips came with two kinds of salsa which were both so flavorful. We each ordered tacos and they tasted very good. The Birria was outstanding as well as the charro beans and rice it came with. Too bad we don't live in Houston because we'd be back here in an instant. read more
