I'm pretty sure El Tiempo had a better playground that Jimmy Changas...at least when it was Vida Loca it did.

then it was Trios.

haven't been there in years.

It was really good when it was Las Rosas.

I'm pretty sure the playground was gone with the recent remodel as they reconfigured the patio area.

There are some dishes I really like at Jimmy Changas like and I think their tortillas are great.

Vida Loca was terrible, but we all went there for anyone's going away HH.

Jimmy Changas has great stuffed avacados and sloooow service

I don't understand the need for a playground at the dinner place.

Lupe T's is overrated.

Only been to lunch at Uncle Julios so I can't comment on drinks. The food is good and they are proud of it. Table side guac looked incredible.

Uncle Julio's is alright. I'm still trying to get used to these mexican restaurants that charge $15-$20 for a plate of enchiladas and $9 for a margarita.

Playgrounds entertain the kids so mom and dad and have a second margarita.

I've been wondering about Uncle Julio's and "Upscale Gringo Mexican Dining". If you want legit go find a hole in the wall taquria. We go to.a Las Cucos just because of location, food is decent but their margaritas suck balls.

Who has the best margaritas? I still love Lupe's but the wife is lactose intolerant and it tears her up. So that is a battle to go there.

fajitas w/ no cheese or sour cream is still a pretty good option at lupe's.

I'm not sure if Uncle Julio's has been in Houston long, I just moved back to H-town in February, they are all over DFW. It's decent, but it's still chain Mexican food. It's not near Pappassitos, Lupe, or El Tiempo. It's basically a step down from those. I wouldn't refuse to eat there if that's where my party wanted to go, but there are better options to eat at here in Houston with the three I named already. I think Julios does well in Dallas because places like Lupe or El Tiempo don't exist.

Lupe does not put butter on the fajitas. I have fam that is lactose intolerant and we always say no dairy. The manager said they use soy sauce instead of butter.

Something tears her up, so we don't eat there often. And we do say "lactose intolerable!" I don't know it is. I personally love the place, esp the OG Hwy 6 location.

I'm at the allergist now next to hulking burnt crust of this Mexico joint. I'm sure all that rain we just had did a number on the remains.

One of these things is not like the others...



Hint: Lupe actually sucks.


Answer: you have bad taste.

Parents now live in Frisco so I've been there many times. Always thought it was mediocre at best, and I'm not much of a food snob. Kind of amazing there's not better Mexican food up there. Like you said it only does well up there because it's probably the best option. I don't see it doing great down here if it's anything like the one in Dallas.

I clicked on this to read about the Katy Tiempo fire.
Now I know there is no Mexican food in Katy.
****, Brenham has you guys beat. Lupe Tortilla is known mostly for the fact that their "playground sandboxes" are used after hours by greatful feral cats....
