La Panga De Mejj - Houston

My wife has been trying to get me too eat here for weeks and today I did ?; gave it my best shot; soo good ?!!

Came here last Friday to see my mom perform. The place has a beautiful patio which is perfect for a great weather like we had Friday. When we got there the waiter was nowhere to be seen and the hostess was the one to take our drink order, she also took our food order because the waiter was nowhere to be found and he was only helping one table. Eventually he came but always took his time with the things we asked. So of the food was a hit and others a miss unfortunately. Some food does require more flavor like the fish. They definitely need better service as well.

The best food so friendly and love the chips and salsa everything was awesome .

Let me start by saying that an excellent observation made is that no one in the restaurant while my visit had food on their table instead only beers and other drinks. The experience started well with a good array of chips and decent salsas. I was excited for the food since they were off to a good start. However I soon realized why no one had food on the table. I ordered their agauchile and trust me when I say that the dish was not prepared right. The name says it all ?aguachile? meaning I?m expecting some sort of spice level. The dish was poorly seasoned and not at all what I expected. The breaded shrimp and fish had such a thick breading that the moment I hit into the fish my teeth sinked into the breading. The fish itself was so thin it looked my stuffing instead of a fillet. Their shrimp coctel was way too sweet. I felt like I was eating ketchup with a bunch of veggies only included 4 shrimp (I counted lol) . Overall they had a chance for a second star since the chip sauce was decent but upon having my drink glass almost empty I went the rest of my food with an empty glass during a slow Friday night. Mediocre service at best. I?m heading back to my usual spot for this type of unique cuisine.

Excellent service recieved from Elizabeth and food was delicious and abundant. I definitely recommend this place. Thanks! ?
