My HometownHouston
My Blog Or Website When I'm Not Yelping...I'm bitching in real time.
Why You Should Read My ReviewsSo you can avoid the bad and enjoy the good. High standards w/fair judgment.
Current CrushI only have eyes for you sweetheart.
The fact that the building LOOKS better than other locations makes zero difference to me. The FOOD is what matters. Other reviews stating "This building belongs in downtown Houston" amuse me because obviously the were written by a non-Native Houstonian who is very superficial probably mid 20's still living at home w/Mom. To each his/her own...
There's nothing wrong with Baytown, don't be a snob just enjoy your good, cheap Tex-Mex and get your butt back to the poser side of town if you feel like you're slumming! This is not a people watching place, just a staple of good food.
Food is always good. I've been eating there since I was a kid. Miss the location on I-10 @ Mercury though because it's more convenient.
Vegas has the absolute worst Mexican food so I really missed El Toro.
I like this new location better than when they were @ Woodforest and Normandy. For some reason the last few times I ate at that location they had a fly problem.

Neighborhoods: Upper Kirby, River Oaks
I love the Jalapeno Dip @ all locations.
While I like Iguana Joe's and El Toro better for overall value and casual dining, Chuy's is a mainstay in my list of Houston faves.
They told me I didn't need a tune up, then claimed they changed the oil and filled the fluids. When I got out on the road in the midst of a cross country road trip I discovered they didn't even do this right!
They took parts off the car so it wouldn't operate correctly then tried to sell me the parts to fix it!
Too. Angry. now. Must. finish. later

If anyone knows a better place to shop for big/tall men in Houston or Vegas please let me know.
I don't owe anybody an apology! You need a history lesson and I doubt the information which I got from the book AND documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room about Weingarten is wrong.
All these shopping centers you mentioned were not revived, they simply knocked down beloved buildings and landmarks or slapped a coat of paint on them to make more money.
Forbes magazine's endorsement proves they are on par with other greedy corporations. I bet Exxon gets an A++ Rating too!
There's a difference between making a living total greed. I stand behind my review.

Evil Corporation, I must agree with Gretchen P. Little known fact is the owner of Weingarten Realty's daughter was married to Andy Fastow of Enron shame. You know the one who went to jail for a year for filing a false tax return but really should be under the jail. This should illuminate you to the people in charge who are totally devoid of character. Newsflash, they own a ton of shopping centers in Vegas too. Do some research on this people. I want a full report. Start by watching the DVD: "The Corporation." Then get back to me with details.
If you haven't been there, you definitely need to go and taste for yourself.
If you've ever been to Vegas this place is laughable and depressing all at the same time as are all of the casinos in Lake Charles.
Date


The employees were friendly and one young lady helped me carry some bags to my car but she said it was only to get away from her Hitler Youth Manager! I remarked on his overzealous flair on his badge but the remark was miles above his head-in the stratosphere!
The only thing that really set the store apart is the Sephora department inside the store! This town definitely needs a beautification project!
I hope better merchants and shopping choices are coming in the near future.
