Meaning “city,” URBE is the fifth concept created by celebrated Restaurateur Tracy Vaught and James Beard Award-winning Executive Chef Hugo Ortega of H Town Restaurant Group. It is so named to both honor the cities of Mexico where street food plays such an integral part and as a nod to the city Houston – or H Town – where the restaurant group was founded and operates.

We came to Urbe due to Zaranda being fully booked, and it really surprised us! Atmosphere was great, food was delicious.
We arrived one hour prior to closing which was 100% on us but we never felt rushed to finish our or anything like that which we REALLY appreciated it.
Our server, Edwin was really friendly and helped us navigate the menu as it was our first time here. Would 100% come back. My brother also enjoyed the music playing in the background!

Vibes and good food! The platter and queso are great choices for apps and they have really great happy hour drinks. Inside or outside patio are both great seating options. The service is always top notch.

My wife and I recently visited URBE with a dear friend and another couple.
Overall, the experience was positive, the atmosphere was lively, and our server was attentive and kind.
We ordered two Arracheras, one gordita, one ceviche tradicional, two elotes asados, and one plátano. An awkward moment occurred when a second platano was mistakenly delivered. Our server politely explained it had already been served, but another staff member from the kitchen responded rudely.
As for the food, I would rate it a 7/10. My Arrachera was requested well-done, but it arrived undercooked, closer to medium. This made it less enjoyable than expected. The plátano was good and I heard positive words feom the other dishes.
Would I return? Possibly, I would keep URBE as a -kind- of last option.
With more attention to cooking requests and better coordination among staff, this restaurant could easily move from good to excellent.

We have been here 3 times already. And we have loved it . The food is very good, as well as the service in general.
Would be a 5 stars if the restrooms would be a little better – the men’s restroom is often not clean and having only one SINGLE stall that is also used by employees is quite disturbing. There should be at minimum of two stalls for a restaurant of this size, specially if you send your employees to this same restroom

I tried Urbe for the first time while in town for a work trip. It didn’t disappoint! The enchiladas were delicious, and as a bonus they were naturally gluten free. The elote was also excellent! It was a cool vibe too, and the servers were friendly.

I stopped in for a casual Saturday brunch with my friends and it was fantastic as always. The food is fantastic, presentation is always beautiful and unique and the service is great!
I got too excited and dug into my food before I remembered to take pictures but managed to get one of the plátano and the ceviche tradicional.

We came to celebrate my b’day. The restaurant closes at 9:00 pm and yet at 8:20 the were sweeping the floor and chairs where put on the tables for cleaning. Food was excellent and our waitress was great but it’s unacceptable to be in the middle of dinner and having the kitchen closing 45 minutes earlier, rushing you through dinner and the staff cleaning and closing up the place around you. Unfortunate to see such a great place being neglected.

Food was really good and was nicely plated!! I thought we’d be waited on at our tables but only had the option of scanning QR codes or going up and ordering. They did have a bar and that looked really nice! All in all it was nice experience for it being my first time there.

Urbe has a nice vibe and excellent service. It’s excellent for a date, with very good margaritas and cocktails. We went for dinner, but some friends recommended it for brunch. However, the food just wasn’t our type of Mexican cuisine. The flavors and style didn’t quite match our preferences.

I keep going back!
Chef Hugo has cracked the code once again. Urbe caters to all markets: from jolly happy hours, to booster chairs, gatherings, and the straight up foodie. Relaxed upbeat spacious ambiance.
Every item on the menu is tasty so here are a few extra tips:
– Ask for the Vegetarian menu. A must try is the Plato de vegetales. An absolutely deeelish sampler, plenty for sharing or a wonderful meal on its own. Complement this with the fish bites, CHICHARRÓN DE PESCADO*
– Although Im not much of an octopus fan, the MARISCADA URBE is a pescatarian delight, sans all the extra potatoes. See if they would cater to less potatoes more seafood.
– CHICKEN POZOLE: excellent! Even as leftovers.
-Traditional Ceviche: delicately flavorful.
– Go at the start of happy hour when it’s less noisy and you have plenty of time to indulge on the happier prices.
The service is friendly, attentive and accommodating. Ample outdoor seating (covered as well).
Note- prior 4p, it is only counter service for ordering.
