Best Fajitas on planet earth. Period. End of Story. Stop looking. You've found Nirvana.
We are born and raised in Texas. We've traveled from El Paso to Dallas to Amarillo to Brownsville. No where serves them like El Tiempo, no where. Perfectly grilled and served on their own hibachi like grill is awesome. Piling on the meats and veggies is awesome. Adding a smokey delicious garlic butter sauce to the side to dunk said meats and veggies into is absolute bliss.

A Houston institution both for its diverse menu by chef Hugo Ortega and its unique dining space inside a 1930s-era home, Backstreet Café offers the quintessential outdoor patio. A sunken courtyard boasts picturesque views at every turn with tables peppered across two levels. On excellent weather days, a table in the courtyard is highly sought after — luckily, the restaurant offers a number of tables on the front patio, too.
