Hugo's

Hugo’s never disappoints. The service is consistently excellent, and the staff are always warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious—every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. I especially recommend the carnitas; they’re tender, perfectly seasoned, and easily one of my favorites on the menu. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with their flan or their house‑made hot cocoa. The flan is silky and rich, and the hot cocoa tastes like pure comfort in a cup. Both are must‑tries. If you’re looking for a place with great food, friendly service, and a consistently wonderful dining experience, Hugo’s is it.

This was my first time here and it was Valentines Day. We had mad reservations but showed up early and was seated immediately (yes we cancelled the reservation). They have several seating areas but it doesn’t seem over crowded at all. We ordered drinks and do yourself a favor and order the drink with the hibiscus!! It’s delicious. Next was appetizer we had seen a picture of a sampler but it was not on the menu and our server inquired and YES we were able to order the sampler platter (vegan tacos, one oxtail empanada and one plantain empanada, taquitos and one other thing but the name slips my mind and mole sauce. The entire platter was fantastic. Full of flavor and and just the right size bite. Also did an order and chips, salsa and guac. We shared an entree because frankly the sample platter was a meal in and out itself. We ordered the pescado (red fish) on half shell. My goodness it was so juicy! It was light fresh and Smokey. Combined with the rice and beans was chefs kiss! It also came with four corn tortillas so boom you can make your own fish taco if you like. This place is great. Service was amazeballs and they have valet and the price is your choice (tip..we did $10) also the overall bill was not to expensive as well. All and all you will not go wrong if you choose to dine here.

Hugo’s, where do I start? I guess we’ll begin with some of the most outstanding takes on grilled octopus, seafood plates, and even tortilla soup I have had in Houston. I want to specifically highlight the grilled octopus - it is charred to perfection and has the perfect balance of crunch and tenderness in every bite. I think about it regularly. The flan can best be described as caramelized perfection topped with candied nuts and strawberry sauce. I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life. Bury me in Hugo’s Flan, please and thank you. The margaritas are shaken table side and are fresh and well balanced. Their other cocktails are fantastic as well. The attention to detail with every part of the restaurant, down to the plate ware, light fixtures, and atmosphere in general is superb. Kudos to the interior designer. The service is attentive, detail-oriented, incredibly professional, and friendly. They made a special occasion for my partner and I that much more wonderful, and went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten allergy. I would rate Hugo’s 11/10 if I could, but since we only have 5 stars on Google, we’ll go with that for now. Can’t wait to be back!

Hugo’s is my new favorite Mexican restaurant in Houston Couldn’t stop thinking about the plantain empanadas since then I didn’t even get to take a picture of them bc that’s how good they were. 🤤 I would regularly come back here just for them Also the ceviche was so fresh and juicy and visually unique. Would definitely see me soon for those empanadas

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. 👌👌
