Batanga - Houston

Well....i would recommend you coming here for the drinks and live music ONLY. The food was a major disappointment! We had several.dishes off the menu, most were below average. The paella rice was undercooked, the seafood was overcooked. We had a table of 10 and ordered 3 paellas. Our table was really meek in saying anything but ultimately, 1 person in our party spoke up for the group. The service was a 4 out of 10. Our server Earl tried his best but would disappear for 20 minutes a time. Ultimately we walked over to the bar for our drinks and enjoyed the rest of our evening.

Awesome customer service!!! Personally food and drinks were 8 out of 10. I’ll give the Ahi Tuna Nachos and smashed potatoes a 10 though lol. Customer service wise they made it right when things went wrong

I had better Paella, and the drinks take forever even if it's not busy. rolling eyes emoji I know it's not the waiter's fault.

Great bartenders on a Friday night! Live music and a packed house! The perfect casual ambience for a first date or girls' night out! The Colombian Chicken Empanadas were delicious! Expect tapa styled dishes (small bites to share) and do make a reservation ahead of time if you want to sit at a table. My friend and I were able to luckily grab some seats at the bar around 7:00 pm before the restaurant became busy. It was raining whenever we went, so I definitely would like to come back again to see the cute Instagram-worthy patio and try some of their drinks!

Listen to the reviews. This place is adorable has great ambiance, but the food has gone seriously downhill. I used to love coming here. We had theater tickets I thought, that'll be fun, we haven't been there in a while. Made a reservation on the patio. We were seated at one of two unset tables. Hostess said waitress would bring over what we need. She didn't until food had arrived. My husbands soda came out right away. Server didn't show up until our second tapa had arrived I asked the person delivering it to ask our server about my drinks. I ordered a skinny margarita a Topo chico with a glass of ice. I got a bottle of TC with no glass. And the wrong beverage. The Cuban was very good. Everything else we ordered, not so much. One item never came. Nor did the second Cubano we ordered. The plantain chips were burnt tasted like dirty oil. I'm really sad because I loved this place.
