Canyon Cafe - (713) 629-5565

I had the tuna and it was delicious. About an hour after I left I got nausea and my face and chest were splotchy red. I then started having trouble breathing, so I went to my doctor. Turns out I had scombroid po isoning, AKA histamine poisoing. When certain fish, including tuna, are not kept at under 40 degrees F, they are susceptible to a natural process that makes them dangerous to eat. So basically, someone left this fish out and then cooked it (even cooking fully does not get rid of this). When I called to restaurant to let them know (they should throw away their tuna) the manager said, "Oh yes, I have heard of that before. Someone else got sick not very long ago". I regret not reporting them to Health and Human Services, because other people have probably gotten sick.

Intriguing entrance. Warm atmosphere. Exceptional food. Exceptional service. Our waiter (Matthew) provided the best service above and beyond the norm. I was with an out of town guest and was very proud to have your restaurant leave such a favorable impression. Not only will I be back, I will recommend you to as many as I can. Thank you very much.

The atmosphere here is interesting, a little less rusticity and a bit more sophistication would make it even better. Service was fast and friendly, and that might have something to do with the lack of customers and the poor waitstaff that are trying to make rent. The food and margaritas are disappointing, I was expecting at least mediocre tex-mex and a great margarita. Sadly, the margarita tasted strongly of mass produced "pre-mix", the salsa tasted like it had been sitting out all day, and the food was questionable. Don't waste your time, skip Canyon Cafe and go straight to Pappasito's.

I went there with a co-worker for lunch. We were greeted and seated quickly. Nice, cozy, casual atmosphere. Food was good, but portion sizes are on the small side (co-worker had fajitas and got 5 pieces of meat). Fast, friendly service. Entire lunch only took 30 minutes!

We had our son's rehearsal dinner here and they did an outstanding job. Christina, the event planner was very helpful and gave great customer service. Oliver is a great waiter, always ask for him. The room was decorated nicely with their menus printed with their names and date on it. Everyone was having a great time, it was hard for us to get them to go home. They let us try everything that we wantrd to serve and more. It was hard to make a decision, it was all so good. A big issue with my husband was that there were enough servers, he did not want people waiting for drinks or dinners and they supplied enough waiters that theyservice was very prompt and courteous We have returned many times.
