In Houston for the weekend from Dallas for a conference and decided to celebrate at Armando’s — and wow, what an experience!
The Tex-Mex food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was packed with flavor, and honestly, we don’t have anything like this back in Dallas. The place was busy, but the service was outstanding the entire time.
Huge shoutout to the bartender — bald head, muscle guy — you were incredible! Super fast, friendly, and on point all night. He definitely made the experience even better.
And Thursday night? Even better! From 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. it turns into a club, which makes the whole vibe next level. Great food, great service, and then great party atmosphere — can’t beat that!
Definitely coming back next time we’re in Houston!
P.s, carne asada and chicken enchiladas Verde !!!!!!!

Armandos on Westheimer is not your typical Tex-Mex restaurant. There are white tablecloths and they don’t serve chips and dip. With that aside, Armandos does serve excellent food! Went for brunch with a few others and everyone raved about the side of beans – smoky and slightly mashed to perfection. We went for restaurant week and appreciated that the chef would allow us to choose from either the restaurant week menu or the normal one. We ended up ordering from the restaurant week menu that included a main dish and a dessert for $25 (plus tax and tip). Two in our party ordered the steak and eggs, which added $15 per order, which was fine overall however the steak was not cooked as requested. Due to the nearly non-existent service, it was not worth waiting to ask to have the steak cooked more. We were there for brunch, arrived at 1:30 pm with less than a handful of other tables present. Our waiter was more concentrated on cleaning up after the guests left, which meant our water glasses sat empty for up to 15-20 minutes at times. The waiter also forgot to bring the order as requested for the huevos rancheros – asked for the chorizo, which is part of the meal, on the side, meal arrived without it and when I asked for it to be brought to the table an additional $3 charge appeared on the bill. While we are glad that we were not rushed out of the restaurant, being neglected and having to wait for extended periods is also to be avoided. It was our first time there and likely our last despite the flan served for dessert one of the best I’ve ever had. Disappointing service unfortunately left a bad impression.

I just had the most fabulous party for 55+ in my home and Armando’s catering made it a success!!! I knew the food would be fantastic, that’s a given. We had a fajita bar with chicken, beef and shrimp, plus queso and guac stations, chips, sauces, rice & beans, tortillas and margs on the rocks. Spectacular. But the absolute rock stars who made my party soooo effortless, were the servers/bartenders: Karen, Yane and Maria. REQUEST THESE LOVELY QUEENS!!! They were soooo sweet, totally organized, FAST, and came up with a million ideas I hadn’t thought of. All three have a very artful eye and displayed my buffet so beautifully. Much more so than I envisioned and I’m veryyy particular about the details and decor. They passed drinks and dessert, as well as served at the bar and beyond. They were everywhere all at once. It was amazing!! They quickly cleared the chafing dishes off the bar and replaced them with dessert trays. Then they stored all the food in containers, organized my pantry when they put my things away, whew!!! I’ve had small catered events (Thanksgiving) but nothing as full service as this. Also, this was the largest party I’ve had in my house, so anxiety was high. But as soon as I met these three lovely women, the anxiety was gone. I knew they had me. They allowed me to be a guest at my own party. This was a discerning crowd, and everybody said it was one of the best parties they’ve been to in a very long time. None of that would have happened without Armando‘s and Karen, Yane and Maria. I can’t thank you enough!!! Seriously! Beyond touched at the extra effort by all. Again, if you’re having a catered event by Armando‘s, request this trio!!
Almost forgot, shout out to Brittanni, one of the catering associates who I communicated with in the planning of this party. We had to modify the order several times as the guest list grew and she was great!

Highly recommend. Really nice atmosphere w/ white tablecloths combined with very good Mexican food. Large menu with Musca to choose from in all price ranges. Drinks were fantastic – talented bartender.

Armando’s Mexican on Kirby never disappoints. The food is consistently flavorful and well-prepared, with standout classics like enchiladas, fajitas, queso, and fresh guacamole done right. Everything feels a step above typical Tex-Mex without losing that comforting, familiar taste. Service is attentive, professional, and polished without feeling stuffy—staff does a great job making you feel taken care of from start to finish. While it’s priced on the higher end, the quality of the food, strong drinks, and overall experience make it a solid value, especially for a nice dinner or special occasion. A Houston staple for a reason.

CHECK IF THEY ARE OPEN We love this place yet have to give them a star off for ordering online. Their hours are inconsistent across google, their phone and online ordering apps. So frustrating. We tried ordering for the football game and it became a go there twice to pi k up and WAIT

5 stars for being a really Fun dinner date restaurant.. but 3.5 stars for the food.
The chips and salsa which is more like a warm ranchero sauce were So good! We had the cheesy taco appetizer (don’t remember the name and not pictured), lamb chops, sea bass, and the tres leches. The appetizer and the cake were my favorites and delicious!!
