HOUSTON — Since opening their doors 45 years ago, family owned and operated ARMANDOS - Armando and Cinda Palacios' long-time eatery, fashioned after 1920s Mexico City - is consistently packed with regulars who love their famous fresh-lime juice margaritas, their delicious Tex-Mex fare and THE legendary late-night dance party every Thursday night.
When Armando Palacios opened ARMANDOS in 1978 as a white-table cloth establishment serving Tex-Mex it was considered revolutionary—a stark contrast to the casual, mom-and-pop restaurants that were popular in Texas at the time. Palacios was adamant that Tex-Mex be respected and celebrated along with the associated culture and incredible stories of the people behind the recipes that were enjoyed throughout the region.
There are few restaurants that have been open as long as ARMANDOS in Houston. It is a place where everyone is welcome, and you will always be treated like family. Every detail has been designed around this idea of community—right down to the iconic red carnations placed on each table which reference a symbol of love, friendship and trust in Mexican culture.
