Restaurant: Hugo's

1600 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77006

Over the years, if there were a type of cuisine that I've become not particularly fond of, I would have to say that it would be
Mexican food. I mean, tex-mex is okay, sometimes, but even then it's very rare that i would even consider wanting to eat it. Unless it's escalante's cos man, their white queso is freaking darn good! With all that said, I still found myself wanting to try Hugo's. I've driven past this place since I was in high school and it's always been in the back of my mind to give it a try. But you know. I never crave this kinda food. Then one sunday, we made plans to meet our friends for some brunch and they suggested Hugo's. Even though we're both becoming quite broke, we agreed and Hugo's it was. Hugo's has a Sunday brunch buffet that is constantly being raved about. It's kinda steep though at $27 per person. Egads! But you know, sometimes you just really can't put a price on food. The thing about buffets is that although I know that i can eat a lot, i can never eat a lot at buffets and the money is never well spent. I don't ever think i eat my money's worth. Good thing big poppa is the champion of buffets. The buffet consisted of a wide variety of typical regional Mexican dishes. I won't get into any details but overall, I can't say I was impressed with any of the offerings. Neither I nor big poppa would want to go back for the food but like I said, we generally don't prefer this type of fare. What I would come back for would be the atmosphere. The restaurant itself looks really nice and the patio is just gorgeous to dine in. What I wouldn't give to have a nice backyard that i can go and have breakfast at every morning. Instead, I'm stuck with a crappy backyard filled with poo bombs and not only that, the Houston heat wave has already begun. So crappy.
