Anyone know circumstances? For those who may not know El Tiempo is a solid Mexican small local chain. The location they moved into has never made it as many different Mexican places. Pretty tough to flop as a Mexican place here.

I even told my wife and friends "if el Tiempo can't make it they need to burn or bulldoze this place and start over. Anyone know how hard they are looking at this fire? I believe it burned around thanksgiving.

El Tiempo off of Shepherd is the best Mexican in Houston.

Lupe Tortilla fajitas cannot be beaten.

Lupe tortilla has the best steak, but nothing else is better.

Considering its damn near christmas, hopefully they aren't looking and they are actually putting it out.

That new El Tiempo is always packed
Doubt it was a friction fire (bills rubbing against low revenue causing a "fire")

Not arson

The place was packed every time I went in there, I don't think having enough business was the issue.

Arson has been ruled out.

As much as I support Lupe, El Tiempo is the best Tex Messican in Houston.

The location near Montrose is great. Same for the one near Navigation.

I go to the original Lupe Tortilla on Grisby all the time. Def my favorite around here. Never tried El Tiempo. I'll do that.
