Our Take
The Spot
El Tiempo Cantina sits along the Washington Avenue corridor near Memorial Park, serving the kind of Tex-Mex built around the grill. Beef and chicken fajitas anchor the menu, arriving with handmade tortillas, and regulars point to the consistency of the meat as the reason they keep coming back. Filet mignon and other steaks round out the options for those looking past the fajita plates.

The margarita program has its own following, with a weekly happy hour that pulls in a crowd for drink specials. Portions run large, and the room leans lively and family-friendly, with attentive service that keeps tables refilled and moving. Many guests treat it less like an occasional destination and more like a standing weekly stop.
