"The Tex-Mex establishment announced plans in March to move into the Statler this summer after a successful comeback at its original Uptown location. Now, on the heels of Texas governor Greg Abbot’s executive order allowing restaurants across the state to open their doors on May 1, the hotel and Primo’s will roll out a limited menu at Waterproof on the Statler’s 19th floor. The preview pop-up will last from May 1 to May 15, and it will be open late: hours run from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Frozen and on the rocks margaritas starting at $5 will be available all day, with DJs and bottle service nightly." - Adele Chapin

This was excellent Mexican food! We started off asking the waiter for a cocktail with some spice/heat to it. He said no problem and promptly returned with 2 house Margheritas with muddled jalapeños in them. Very tasty! The complimentary chips and salsa were good...... the chips were mediocre but the salsas were good. The roasted tomato salsa had a deep, rich, robust flavor, and we requested some hot salsa which was good as well.. We ordered the Carne Assada and the fajitas. Both enterees were cooked perfectly. We both ordered the steak medium rare and it was tender and delicious and perfectly seasoned. The refried black beans were some of the best that I've had and the Spanish rice was tasty. The fajitas came on a 3 tier serving stand which was different ( I think that the stand just took up a lot of table space), but the food was excellent!! I highly recommend this place. The patio was nice and the interior was absolutely beautiful.

Highly recommend if you was good drink for a reasonable price, good service even tho they're understaffed (They're hiring), and a great atmosphere and location. 🤌🏾🤙🏽

We always end up here for a few drinks every time we walk McKinney Avenue. I think the atmosphere on the patio draws us in. Great drinks out in the sunshine, friendly service, and the appetizers we ordered on our last visit were great.

We ordered take out yesterday from this location, and received our entrees RAW!!!! When I bit into my drumstick, I was horrified to bite into very pink meat. My husbands chicken breast was so much worse. Unfortunately, we didn’t think to take a picture into we had already start recooking our meats. But you can still see a little of the pink. We also asked for a medium rare burger BUT this was not even rare. DO NOT ORDER take out from this location. We did not expect to have to COOK our meats.

Great food, picky service. We reserved a table for our coworkers birthday a few days ahead, and they ended up jamming our party into a booth. We asked if we could switch to one of the empty tables, and they said it was reserved. Not exactly easy to talk to each other in a pretty high noise (sports bar intense sort of volume in a restaurant) environment sitting in a booth, and after being there for about two hours, we couldn’t help but notice the table we asked to move to never got filled. The salsa may as well have been ketchup, the queso as interesting as a melted square of kraft cheese, but the filet mignon fajitas were the most tender I’ve ever had, they served them with a side of melted butter and they were top notch. Six dollar margaritas were a bargain, unfortunately my coworker and I finally had to just stand up on the far side of the table once the food came since the table so was crowded. See crowded table and mysteriously reserved but perpetually empty booth below!

Way way too loud, like I get the party vibe but they try too much to be like a party place rather than a restaurant. I can barely hear my family talking, and the waiters can barely hear you too. The food is pretty overpriced for what you get, and it's not even that good of food.
