What People Are Saying About Armandos

In Short – Though the somewhat traditional interior resembles former tenant River Oaks Grill, the restaurant itself is classic Armando's with the same clientele of social scenesters and menu of classic Tex-Mex as with the original '80s-era locale on Shepherd. Owner Armando Palacios ensures menu favorites remain like potent margaritas, mushroom-flecked queso fundido, grilled snapper and beef dishes, tacos al carbon, chicken verde or crab enchiladas, and traditional desserts like tres leches cake and sopapillas. –

No Bueno
by budrose at Citysearch
If atmosphere is needed this is the place. However, you will get a better meal at Taco Cabana for a fraction of the price.It was horrible and it took 90minutes to get our meal after the order was place.
Realize as we were leaving the thug at the front door was the owner ie picture of himself on the wall . Not a friendly chap
- Pros: nice atmosphere
- Cons: bad food,bad service,way too expensive

Good first experience, great date spot

My husband took me here for a weeknight dinner date, and we were seated immediately in the fairly-vacant restaurant. There were several patrons at the bar, definitely a well-to-do crowd. I was initially disappointed because I ordered a mojito and the waiter came back 5 minutes later to tell me they had no mint, so I had to order something else. Fortunately, the margarita I ordered instead was very tasty. The salsa was great, as were our entrees: carnitas and fish tacos. Looking forward to our next visit!!!
- Pros: salsa had a nice kick, tasty entrees
- Cons: no mint for my mojito!

Stick a fork in it.

The shi shi Armandos of old is dead. Save for an occasionally well made margarita, this place is awful. You can get better, more authentic Mexican at Lupe's at half the price, minus the aging divorce's looking for action.
