I go about once a quarter. I like it but it isn’t Teo good. however it’s more convenient for me as I ride my bike up and down long point for lunch. Not Tex mex, more gente
September 5, 20232 yr Don Carlos on 76th, deep in the 2nd ward hood. $14, 3 cheese enchiladas. Don’t be shocked if a dj is rocking the place. Excellent bar Edited September 5, 20232 yr by tx 3 putt

Excellent bar My dad loves this place. I usually get the carne guisada plate with queso flameado con chorizo as an app, but those enchiladas look great. Think I'll get that next time.

September 5, 20232 yr Decided to hit up El Palenque (Louetta and 249) for the first time in 20 years. Had enchiladas. It was rather average.

September 11, 20232 yr Less than 10 minutes from Soto’sI need to go give Soto’s another try. Been there a couple of times and just wasn’t that impressed. My usual measuring sticks are Teotihuacan and Lopez. Less than 10 minutes from Soto’sI need to go give Soto’s another try. Been there a couple of times and just wasn’t that impressed.

September 16, 20232 yr Cobos downtown Houston on Rusk. Get the birra tacos; fantastic. Lots of parking during the week.
December 12, 20232 yr Yesterday I tried La Lupita off Pinemont. It was pretty solid. The barbacoa wasn’t as good as Gerardo’s but it was still good. I have also had better Al Pastor, but again, was still good. The choriqueso was greasy and awesome. Taco de bistec, Al Pastor, barbacoa:Choriqueso

December 22, 20232 yr If you find yourself in Jacinto City, the tacos at Chicharrones El Güero are good. Barbacoa was solid. Carnitas needed more salt. Salsas were good.

March 28, 20241 yr I’ve been warned that Mi Sombereo is a one entree restaurant. Tommy’s Tacos or don’t bother, but the olds seemed to be enjoying their breakfasts.

April 22, 20241 yr Staggered over to Tacos El Bigotes yesterday. Got three quesabirria and a trompo all the way. Very tasty. It was very crowded. The guy making the birria tacos was pumping them out quick. The corn tortilla could have been crisper and the cheese spilling out at the edges needed to be carmelized a bit more. Maybe at a slower hour the tacos could have had a chance to set up right. Anyhow, it was good.

May 11, 20241 yr i came across a newsfeed article about a place off jones or west road - jersey village/cyfair area. can anyone think of a place out that way that would be worthy of writing an article about them? may have been about barbacoa, may have been about menudo. there was something that stood out there. i meant to save but seems lost forever now.

May 27, 20241 yr I’d give Larry’s a B. Enchiladas were terrific, but I’m not a fan of a small neighborhood place charging $6 per draft beer.
June 9, 20241 yr Finally got around to hauling the family over to try Candente. Everything was great but I was told the brisket enchiladas were cant miss and...they missed. Brisket was ok, too dry. The bbq sauce on top was wayyyyy too sweet for the dish. Just didnt work for me. Wife got the carnitas and they were great. The red salsa was very good, the green was damn good. Margaritas were good. Queso was really good. I'll go back.

Nothing at all to go out of the way for. The kick to the nuts was how expensive it was for the quality you’re getting. We were there pregame before a Friday night Astros game and there were maybe three other tables in occupied in the restaurant. I don’t see how it makes it. I’m really surprised that the Agricole guys can’t make something work in that space.

July 3, 20241 yr Sure. How do you feel about a reverse mortgage to cover a meal there for a family of 5? I looked at the menu. Fuck me I thought Mi Cocina was crazy expensive. $25 for one enchilada, a tamale, and a taco. Nope.

October 4, 20241 yr La Guadalupana is a head scratcher. It’s primarily a breakfast place and they’ve got a couple of very basic breakfast items on their menu, but in the dozens of times I’ve eaten there I couldn’t recall seeing any other tacos on their menu. I looked it up and the only tacos besides the aforementioned breakfast tacos on their menu is a tacos carbon plate. Not exactly a plethora of options.

I kind of wonder if it’s a typo by the poster and the actual restaurant is Taqueria La Guadalupana.
October 6, 20241 yr I had a brutally mediocre brunch at Urbe, and still dropped over $100 somehow. I won’t be back.
