Absolutely nothing like this anywhere else. Best food and service I’ve ever had at a restaurant, period. This is not your little Tex Mex enchilada joint, and the disparity between that and this is somehow worlds apart with some of the same flavors and dishes. Every single dish sung. A new note, a fresh harmony alongside the last one and the next. Servers were kind enough to take our photos not once but twice (when the first ones were determined to not have good enough lighting lol). Can’t speak highly enough about the team here. They’re doing a great job. All the awards and press are certainly well deserved. Every plate was dang near licked clean.
What a great experience at Hugo’s Sunday brunch buffet! Staff was on point, caring for us and the food was off the chain. Everything is perfectly seasoned and although it’s a buffet, it is beautifully presented and each entree is labeled and described. I wish I had thought of taking pictures of my food selections! I was too excited to eat. Believe me, everything was delicious. You won’t go wrong going to Hugo’s. They have the convenience of free valet (you pay tip if you want) and those guys are very friendly. They also had a trio of guys playing live on the balcony which was great! The music was beautiful - nice Spanish melodies. Our waitress stayed on top of our needs and the host up front was great too. Overall an excellent experience at Hugo’s,
Hugo’s has been around many years and always had a great reputation, but I had never been. That changed in my resent visit to Houston. I stopped in for a mid week lunch. Very nice inside with a lot of seating. You immediately can tell it’s a more high end Mexican food experience. I had no wait but I hear especially for Sunday brunch you better have a reservation. I did the special they run on Thursday and Friday. It’s the two for $30. I chose the Empanadas De Colita De Res and the Lechon. Empanadas has a ton of flavor and come with a cilantro aioli for dipping. It’s has some spice. There is also a mango/fruity dabs of sauce that was my favorite part. I need more of that. The lechon comes with tortillas, pico, cilantro and habanero sauce. The idea is to make your own tacos. Portion is for 4 smaller tacos. The salsa is spicy. The lechon served in a banana leaf was very tender and tasty. My service was good. The only small complaint about my experience is parking. You have to valet or try to find something in the surrounding neighborhoods. Not much to choose from and I could imagine during busy times it could be an issue. Overall, great food and upscale Mexican food experience. I highly recommend.
Great autentic Mexican food!! My friend and I enjoyed it very much. We were there for lunch. We ordered vegetarian enchiladas, chapulines, guacamole & salsa. Their homemade tortillas and fresh corn chips were delicious too. For dessert we had queso flan and chocolate cake. 👌👌
I like so many things about this place, but the main thing is they take chances and add some interesting specials every day. Love anything seafood, tried the fish, so flavorful, and the guacamole was really good. Salsa was okay, chips were a little thick for my liking, ceviche was good. Fish tacos my friend ordered were inhaled. All and all a nice restaurant at any time of day. Would love to hit the happy hour.
