I had the steak burrito with cilantro rice and charro beans. Absolutely delicious.
Sat at the bar. Service was exceptional. Hats off to Nancy and everyone behind the bar for wonderful service.

Our experience at the Stafford location has always been very pleasant. The servers have always been very attentive and their customer service is great. We sit in Domingo’s section often and his customer service has also echoed the other staff as exceptional.
We come fairly often and consider ourselves regulars, yet I’ve never written a review here before now shame on me I know. We come for their margaritas and fajitas mostly and it’s always fantastic. If you like great margs and fajitas I highly recommend this location. They have specials throughout the week and we like to come on Wednesdays which is fajita.

We love this spot. Service is outstanding. Food excellent. If you like Chinese sweet and sour chicken you need to try the pollo tropical has all the same flavors. Portions are huge.

The Stafford location of El Tiempo was a complete disappointment. I ordered chips and what I got was not food worth serving to customers—it was a bag of crumbs and tiny broken pieces instead of the normal large, crisp chips. It honestly felt insulting, like I was given scraps.
I’ve always loved El Tiempo and frequently go to the Greenway Plaza location, where the quality is excellent. But this Stafford experience was unacceptable, and I will never return here.
If you care about your money and basic respect as a customer, check your chips before you leave—or better yet, avoid the Stafford location altogether.

The food here was amazing and the service here was also very good. Our server Urbano was very prompt and checked up on us multiple times in a very non-intrusive way. The fajitas were absolutely amazing we got the 50/50 chicken and beef la tana style with the serrano chiles garlic and cheese on top. Highly recommended.

Pork carnitas tasted good but had too much fat on them. Love the chips and salsa and margarita was excellent. Server could have been better. He was only waiting on 3 tables and never came to see if we wanted refills of anything. Maybe he was pulling double duty in the kitchen?

Beautiful restaurant. Server was very nice and explained the specials which saved us a few bucks. Lots of chip and salsa before the meal. Ordered steak and chicken fajitas and of course,there was a lot of meat but the chicken and steak covered up the onions and we did not realize the onions were on the cooker until we finished our meals. Not happy about that. Overall it was a great meal and experience. We do recommend thus restaurant.

This is my first time at this location. I’ve been to their other locations so I know the food would be delicious. We came her for a team lunch celebration. They were able to sit about 30 of us in a private area.
Our waiter, Luis, was awesome. He had his staff help him and they were on top of things: giving us drink refills, accommodating stragglers, and joking with us throughout our time there.
We will definitely be back.
