hot, smokey, meat market minus the meat

by htowncoog

Both times i've been there on thursday, parking was horrible and as soon as a spot opened up in the front, they put a cone there but I didn't even see any valet guys around. I circled around and around and even tried the sorry excuse of a parking garage and still nothing. I would have given up but I was meeting a friend and so I had to park in a couple of streets over. I really think there should be some sort of building code in place for retail businesses to have enough parking(whether paid or free) available for the amount of customers they expect.

Once I finally found parking, it was just standing room both inside and outside. What enjoyment could people possibily get by standing a sun baked patio with steam pouring on you next to sweaty people? Inside was even more hot and crowded. It took me 5 minutes to get my drink and shoo away the guy who was hitting on my friend and i was out of there in 15 minutes.

I've never been a fan of restaurants that turn into bars/clubs at night because almost always there is not enough parking or room inside for that and this place is no exception. They have latin music playing but I'm sure there are many better places to go for that. This place is mostly a meat market of white guys trying to pick up latin girls...and a few white girls who think they can salsa.

To me, this is a sweaty parking lot with overpriced drinks.

• Pros: You get to park in front of river oaks homes
• Cons: no parking, overcrowded, AC doesn't work, meat market, did i mention over crowded?

Skip this place...

Taco Milagro has inadequate parking, to put it mildly. Patrons are forced to park in other businesses' parking lots, and Houston has a thriving tow industry. Park at your own risk: your car may or may not be there when you come out of the restaurant. Additionally, the police in that area are constantly on the lookout for people to harass and give tickets to. So while you're spending a half hour circling the block looking for a parking space, BE SURE TO SIGNAL every time you turn. One cop had the nerve to accuse me of drinking, even though I hadn't even been in the club yet. What a dork! They're like vultures in that area. A joint bringing that large of a crowd could at least provide valet parking, instead of leaving its patrons at the mercy of petty cops and tow companies.

• Pros: Can't think of any
• Cons: No parking; cops and tow truck drivers prey on patrons

I remember this place to be full of good looking men and women! It was the "it" place when it first opened....NOW...its gone downhill. Im sorry to say but this place was a MESS!!! they have people sitting at the tables outside, occupying the space when there wasnt even a single cocktail nor food on the table! Its either they clientelle here are just so cheap to buy alcohol OR they have a hardtime getting thru the bar as you have to go thru a flock of guys that try to RUDELY touch and holler at you! UGH!!! it was disgusting! Its almost sick to know that this place exist in the UPPER KIRBY area!
