- RReneHouston •7 reviews5.0Dined todayWe did not know a band would be playing. We were there on a Thursday night, and the website and reviews do not mention that. We were seated right in front of the band, who were doing sound checks while we had appetizers. But, the band stopped with the sound checks. Our appetizers arrived, and they were wonderful. My wife had something called Sopes de Hongos (mushrooms on top of a sort of bread with a sauce) which were truly special. The band started playing around the time we ordered our main courses. They were not as loud as I expected them to be, and were really quite enjoyable. Our main courses were superb, especially my Callo de Hacha (scallops). Desserts were also wonderful, and the Tres Leches with pumpkin whipped cream was another wonder. Next time I will call ahead and find out if there is going to be music, and I will request a table further from the band. I will note that the band was great, but we were closer than ideal.More infoXalisko Cocina MexicanaPrice: Expensive• Mexican• The Woodlands•4.7
- JJenVIPHouston •19 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe food was so amazing I’m certain it has ruined me liking anywhere else. FYI- park 24 Waterway stage and they validate. We ordered the Ahi-Tuna pizza and were skeptical but loved it so much! Impossible to explain al the flavors in each bite. The Korean butter poached crab- wow. And the Big Rib that bursts with flavor and then melts in your mouth. Finished with bread pudding made with croissants and caramelized that was so good we may have licked the plate!More infoTRISPrice: Very Expensive• American• The Woodlands•4.8

The tea experience is a must try. One of the best in the Houston area. They have a great selection of mock tails.
