"Retained its Michelin star from 2024; in the Guide, one star signifies 'High-quality cooking, worth a stop.'" - H. Drew Blackburn
"Also in Houston I visited MICHELIN-Starred Tatemó, where Chef Emmanuel Chavez has felt the city's evolution firsthand: more talent has flowed in and a wave of new restaurants with MICHELIN aspirations has transformed the pace of the industry. Chavez reports they’ve been at full capacity for a year straight—allowing them to hire more staff and invest in better equipment—and although they’ve always felt like a destination restaurant, they now see even more people visiting just to try their food." - Ty Gaskins
"A modern Mexican standout in Houston that joined the city’s Michelin-recognized restaurants in 2024." - H. Drew Blackburn
"Concerns about immigration and protecting the safety and wellbeing of staff are major challenges; the visibility afforded by an award nomination has provided a platform to raise these issues and strengthened the resolve to keep going." - Sam Nelson
"Chef Emmanuel Chavez was nominated in the Best Chef: Texas category at the 2025 James Beard Awards for his work at this restaurant." - Courtney E. Smith
