Here's the thing: The chow at El Tiempo is outstanding --deliciously charred fajitas, pillowy flour tacos, amazing salsa. The margaritas are potent and tasty, which is a rare combination. But it's expensive. Like, way expensive. Like, 21 bucks for a half-pound of fajitas expensive. Go at lunch when it's cheaper (and when, at the Richmond location, there are fewer drunken asshats crowding the lovely patio area).

El Tiempo is well worth the price, for the great taste and atmosphere. You all should stay at Taco Cabana if you want cheap quality.

My business partner used to drag me here. We only were able to get a table once. Usually, we ended up standing around with drinks in hand, yelling at each other over the noise caused by the shoulder-to-shoulder, standing room only crowd. The margaritas were fantastic, as was the food, but the prices were WAY out of line.

I dont understand the prices here and why people continue to pay them when we have so many other great AFFORDABLE Mexican restaurants here.

I was thinking the same thing! Why pay the ridiculous prices when there are so many other's that are just as good, if not better, El Tiempo's food & margaritas. The Lorenzo's do it again. :(
