Locating Great Mexican Food Houston TX

By Dorothy Olson


Not withstanding the recent effects of Hurricane Harvey, Houston still has a lot to offer in the way of ethnic cuisine. Mexican Food Houston TX is no exception. For, there are a number of different Mexican restaurants in all areas of the city. For example, Jalisco offers authentic styles in the Montrose, others host Mexican seafood in the Historic Heights with several Tex-Mex fast food and dine-in restaurants gracing other areas of the city.

Whether perusing the historic Houston Heights, attending an art opening in the Warehouse District, going to a local book or magic store in the Montrose or hanging downtown for a free concert, there is no shortage of great restaurants in the area. For example, the Warehouse District is home to Last Concert Cafe, a rather historic Mexican restaurant, building and venue. While having won a number awards for having the best Mexican cuisine in the city, the restaurant also host live music most nights of the week.

The proprietor also produces special events throughout the year. Whether the often comic and festive Halloween celebration and costume contest, New Year's Eve Gala or annual Watermelon Festival, all events include great choices when it comes to food, drink and live entertainment. Whether a magician at New Year's, a day full of bands at Watermelon, or a New Year's Eve stellar-line-up with a complimentary champagne toast at midnight, events often have something for everyone.

One band, The Hightailers, played every Thursday for over twenty eight years. With the restaurant and music venue being so popular, there are other bands and musicians which continue to fill the time slot on a regular basis. Whereas, there are local and touring acts gracing either the indoor or outdoor stage on a daily or weekly basis.

Whereas, another local band Potroast has just celebrated a 20th year anniversary. While the Hightailers crowd was much more of a hippie crowd, Potroast seems to draw more college age fans. While those playing on other nights tend to change more frequently, the owner and management staff have always been open to those wishing to play a residency given the right opportunity.

Located in the newly developed Warehouse District, just East of downtown, the building has a history all its own. For, in the 1920s, the building played host to a brothel which was frequented by a local judge who lived in the neighborhood. To assure discretion, the business required patrons to knock on the red door before gaining entry. In order to keep a small piece of history alive, the current owner requires patrons to do so before gaining entry by an employee, doorman or other employees.

Beyond the entertainment, the restaurant continues to serve outstanding Mexican food with a number of American options. While traditional in style, several dishes are named after past and present employees who created the dish by adding a few extra elements. While originally only serving beer and wine, the bar now has a liquor license and offers a full bar with a number of local microbrews and name brand liquors.

While there are a number of restaurants operating in the area, Last Concert is just one of many hot spots which should not be overlooked. Whether visiting the establishment for a look at the historic building, the bar, food or nightlife, the venue has a lot to offer. Whereas, there are also a number of art galleries with many more downtown offerings being a short drive up I-10 West.
