Essence Restaurant and Lounge

cute spot. they have a separate area for hookah and music. my only major complaint is that we were charged $3 d@mn dollars for a GLASS of water. the oxtail birria tacos were good enough to almost forget about paying money for faucet water.

BEST DAMN OX TAILS IN TEXAS! Tender. Meaty. Delicious flavor. Greens. If you eat the ox tail and DON'T get the greens then go back to school, cuz you're a dunce! I've had the oxtail a dozen times, each time as good as the first. The only thing better than the food is the consistency. Made right or it doesn't make the pass. Oxtail Barilla tacos are too legit to quit. I said what I said. The best shrimp and grits..... this side of the equator!!!

Food was great the owner Will was very cool he came to check our table . We will definitely be visiting again . The mix drinks I would like to be a little stronger . There's a hookah lounge in the back. They do not accept cash . You have to pay for your food before they bring it to your table . Which is no problem for me. Plan on returning and trying the ox tails next time .
