Tornado & El Expreso Bus Company Southwest: Reviews
Positive experience: A lot of bus changes, it seems like it wasn't like this before ♀️
Negative experience: The porter Alexander was very self-centered and arrogant, lacking professional ethics; they shouldn't have people who mistreat customers, providing such poor service, and without empathy for others, thank you.
Negative experience: Brought my friend and his niece to this bus stop. The Bus was supposed to depart @ 10:00am, but we’re still waiting for the bus to arrive. It’s been over an hour and twenty minutes and still waiting for the bus. This is horrible service at its best!! The one off of airline seems to provide better service. Nevertheless I would recommend you use another service. The bus finally arrived @ 11:27 am
Fantastic experience: Berry caind the employees the place clean
Positive experience: Hello, good afternoon. Is there someone who can help me with information about where the Tornado bus arrives here at 59 South? Thank you.
Fantastic experience: A bus company that provides regular service (more good than bad) at accessible prices. The buses are not entirely comfortable, but the staff service is good.
Fantastic experience: Reliable transportation from Houston Texas to Monterrey Mexico.
Positive experience: The staff are very friendly. The place is clean.
Fantastic experience: Very good
Negative experience: The person they have in the office who takes the luggage off the truck was in a bad mood with the people asking for their bags, especially with the elderly.
Fantastic experience: I love traveling with you... very kind, and the drivers, ufff, very calm and helpful...
Fantastic experience: Easy
Fantastic experience: Very good service
Negative experience: Not recommended, uncomfortable buses during the transfer make you wait many hours, if you can avoid them.
Fantastic experience: Lots of parking
Positive experience: I was never there
Negative experience: Very bad service and you are put at risk and danger in Mexico. They said you would transfer in the early morning, but there are no buses available to where you are going. It is a disgrace how the staff treats you there at the Mexican terminal.
Fantastic experience: Way faster then I thought I'm surprised I got home quicker then I thought. Customer service was amazing I rested good on the way home.
Fantastic experience: The best

Fantastic experience: It was my first experience, but it was very good
Negative experience: Waiting for the bus since 10pm, at 11:09 I was told it was 25min away. At 11:42pm I was told it was 7minutes away, at 11:56, I was told that they had no one to transfer me to in English anymore. I spoke Spanish and Humberto proceeds to tell me “oh so you do speak Spanish, that would have been easier, please continue to wait for the bus or call back at 7am” & he hung up on me & will not answer the phone anymore! Tell me how was the language even relevant to the fact that the bus isn’t here and the fact that they kept lying to me regarding the time. It is now 12:03am, the bus is still not here & Humberto is not answering the phone! We had a loss in the family, we have to be at our destination on time! Update: *Humberto finally answered at about 12:30, he was rude again and told me to keep waiting until 7am if necessary. He said he had other calls to attend to. All he could say was that the bus was near!! The bus arrived at 12:42am!!! This is ridiculous!! I’m sure if we would have been late the bus would have left us!

Muy mal.

Positive experience: Not enough space between the seats! Their buses are fixed to carry people under 5 feet tall, like Mayas and Chichimecas
Fantastic experience: Great service great rides
Negative experience: Pésimo servicio por parte de chóferes, no te ayudan con dudas dicen q ellos no saben nada y si esta ocupado tu lugar t dicen q t aguantes como te toque, super feos modos que tienen . El camión super sucio y el aire no funciona, las ventanas sin cortina más el baño no servía la puerta y con el calor q se sentía se apestaba horrible. La primera y la última vez que viajó con ellos. Para nada lo recomiendo. Están un poco mejor los Chávez u ómnibus. Pero bueno uno quería ver opciones y en esta terminas decepcionando.

Negative experience: This the worst trip I've ever had, if you want to be on time don't take this Tornado Bus, it's arrived around about 50 minutes late and while on the way to Brownsville TX the driver was try to find someone address by guessing where they at and makes lots frequently stops and U turned on highway and almost caused an accident. I will never ride this bus again, take Greyhound only a couple block from Tornado station on Houston Southwest freeway.
