Hugo's

Great autentic Mexican food!! My friend and I enjoyed it very much. We were there for lunch. We ordered vegetarian enchiladas, chapulines, guacamole & salsa. Their homemade tortillas and fresh corn chips were delicious too. For dessert we had queso flan and chocolate cake.

What a great experience at Hugo’s Sunday brunch buffet! Staff was on point, caring for us and the food was off the chain. Everything is perfectly seasoned and although it’s a buffet, it is beautifully presented and each entree is labeled and described. I wish I had thought of taking pictures of my food selections! I was too excited to eat. Believe me, everything was delicious. You won’t go wrong going to Hugo’s. They have the convenience of free valet (you pay tip if you want) and those guys are very friendly. They also had a trio of guys playing live on the balcony which was great! The music was beautiful - nice Spanish melodies. Our waitress stayed on top of our needs and the host up front was great too. Overall an excellent experience at Hugo’s,

I came to Houston for a quick overnight visit and googled best restaurants near me and found Hugos. I was blown away. The food was incredible, the tequila high quality and diverse and the service smart and professional. I had the ceviche which was bright, fresh, and tasty. Nextvi had the Lechon, the suckling pig, which was tender, juicy and just a bit spicy. Next I had the duck, which quite literally melted in my mouth. The mole cornbread, greens and sweet potato puree were the perfect accompaniment to a crispy dilute with a ln amazing mole sauce. Add all this to the four great tequilas and I don't think I could have had a better meal. A+++ recommended.

I like so many things about this place, but the main thing is they take chances and add some interesting specials every day. Love anything seafood, tried the fish, so flavorful, and the guacamole was really good. Salsa was okay, chips were a little thick for my liking, ceviche was good. Fish tacos my friend ordered were inhaled. All and all a nice restaurant at any time of day. Would love to hit the happy hour.

Delicious food and top notch service. Combinations of flavors on the food is amazing. The drinks are fantastic and we really enjoyed our time there.

Hugo’s has been around many years and always had a great reputation, but I had never been. That changed in my resent visit to Houston. I stopped in for a mid week lunch. Very nice inside with a lot of seating. You immediately can tell it’s a more high end Mexican food experience. I had no wait but I hear especially for Sunday brunch you better have a reservation. I did the special they run on Thursday and Friday. It’s the two for $30. I chose the Empanadas De Colita De Res and the Lechon. Empanadas has a ton of flavor and come with a cilantro aioli for dipping. It’s has some spice. There is also a mango/fruity dabs of sauce that was my favorite part. I need more of that. The lechon comes with tortillas, pico, cilantro and habanero sauce. The idea is to make your own tacos. Portion is for 4 smaller tacos. The salsa is spicy. The lechon served in a banana leaf was very tender and tasty. My service was good. The only small complaint about my experience is parking. You have to valet or try to find something in the surrounding neighborhoods. Not much to choose from and I could imagine during busy times it could be an issue. Overall, great food and upscale Mexican food experience. I highly recommend.

Hugo’s is the kind of spot that makes you want to linger, order one more round, and say yes to dessert (even if you swear you’re full). First things first: get a margarita. Salt rim, lots of ice, and suddenly your day’s already better. Let’s talk food, because wow: • Carnitas: This is why I keep coming back. Crispy, juicy, loaded with flavor, and you get to build your perfect taco with all the fresh toppings. Pure happiness. • Pulpo (Octopus): Charred just right, a little smoky, tender, and definitely not rubbery. (Zero regrets.) • Ceviche & Hamachi Crudo: Bright, fresh, and a little bit fancy. Love a starter that feels like summer on a plate. • Lobster Taco: Am I too extra? Maybe. But a blue corn tortilla, lobster, avocado—come on, that’s just joy. • Tortilla Soup: Mexican comfort in a bowl. Creamy, tomato-y, with crunchy strips and avocado. Basically a hug for your soul. • Grilled Cauliflower & Flor de Calabaza Quesadilla: You think you’re ordering veggies for balance, but then you realize these are actually delicious on their own. • Ribeye with mole: Smoky, tender steak with a mole so good I would eat it with a spoon. Seafood rice & fish: Both solid, but let’s be honest, I was busy making tacos and eating carnitas. Dessert: Flan was all mine. Creamy, smooth, not too sweet—total win. If you’re a chocolate person, the mousse is rich and dreamy. (Pro tip: don’t share.) The vibe: Lively, colorful, feels like you should be celebrating something—even if it’s just a Tuesday.

Absolutely nothing like this anywhere else. Best food and service I’ve ever had at a restaurant, period. This is not your little Tex Mex enchilada joint, and the disparity between that and this is somehow worlds apart with some of the same flavors and dishes. Every single dish sung. A new note, a fresh harmony alongside the last one and the next. Servers were kind enough to take our photos not once but twice (when the first ones were determined to not have good enough lighting lol). Can’t speak highly enough about the team here. They’re doing a great job. All the awards and press are certainly well deserved. Every plate was dang near licked clean.
