Editorial Review for Las Alamedas – by Stuart Wade
The Scene
Interior Mexican cuisine came to I-10 and Voss more than two decades ago when Las Alamedas first opened its immense oak doors. The pillared exterior matches the elegant, yet relaxed, atmosphere within. Waiters glide through the cathedral-like "north room," which is dramatically adorned with an impressive foyer, ornate bar area, stone floors and a 30-foot-high ceiling. The arched rear walls of the building, opening to a lush wooded view of Buffalo Bayou, are glassed in from floor to ceiling.
The Food
Known for its lavish Sunday brunch, the rest of the menu shouldn't be overlooked. Fill up on warm chips and salsa before diving into popular selections, including seviche, calamares, carne asada, red snapper and camerones. Houstonians rave about the margaritas, best enjoyed in the impressive and spacious bar.

I have admired the restaurants outer apearance for some time, but after my experience I must remember "all that gliters isn't gold". On my birthday I selected Las Alamedas to have my dinner with a few friends. I was told by "Wendy" the manager in a demanding tone that all guests must have cash no credit cards. I was puzzed being that most people do not carry cash. She advised me to inform all guests prior to and even suggested i have one off my friends pay for the bill and we then pay him/her the differance. That was a bold suggestion...I was turned off by her tone and verbage, but my heart was set on Las Alamedas. I was hesitant but decided to keep my reservation. The service and food were equaly disapointing. Most friends decided not to show after i shared the demand the MANAGER made. Service was not adequate nor the food. In adition our waiter informs me that my deposit would be reimbursed, but was not. I could go into more detail but space is limited. Never Again...All that gliters isn't gold!!!
Pros: Ambience
Cons: Poor customer service

I went last week with my boyfriend on a sunday night and had a nice dinner. Great food with a nice view. Its a rustic style place but really charming. The server was decent. The only thing i didnt like was the drink glasses were small, its like 3 gulps and its gone and your left waiting for the server to come refill it. I had the Pollo Alcapulco which was fantastic!!! I highly recommend that dish. The portions were nice and we left satisfied with plans on returning again.
Pros: Nice scenary, Great food
Cons: Small drinking glasses
