Hearty Tex-Mex dishes & potent margaritas from a family cantina chain
"From the family that created Ninfa’s comes El Tiempo, where sizzling fajita platters and potent margaritas reign. The frozen margaritas are frosty and strong — perfect for cooling down during Houston’s sweltering summers, but feel free to customize your ideal cocktail. Crafted with 100 percent agave tequila, the El Tiempo Margarita is available by the glass or pitcher, on the rocks, frozen, or skinny, and in different flavors. Expect a casual, bustling atmosphere with hearty fajita platters that steal the show." - Marcy de Luna
"Launched by the same family that brought Houston the Original Ninfa’s, El Tiempo is similarly known for its potent margaritas and sizzling fajita platters. Choose between the standard beef, chicken, spicy shrimp, or veggie fajitas, or amp things up with filet mignon, salmon fajitas with mango chimichurri, or seared spicy ahi tuna topped with a mole vinaigrette. Elevate the dish with fajita add-ons, like the “la tana,” a mixture of serrano peppers, garlic, and cheese." - Brianna Griff
"Mostly a large bar counter—great for anyone traveling solo—the local restaurant group-owned serves the usual classics like frozen margs, fajitas, and salsa-smothered plates. Stay for a while or, like everyone else, take something to go and eat it awkwardly in your lap at your flight’s gate." - Chelsea Thomas
"El Tiempo is a noteworthy restaurant located in the Westchase area of Houston." - Megha McSwain
"Jumbo lump crab gets the Tex-Mex treatment at El Tiempo where quesadillas are crafted with lump crab and bacon and jumbo lump crab enchiladas — or “enchies” — are gooey with white cheese and mariscos cream." - Megha McSwain
