Where To Find 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 owner also produces a number of touring concerts and special events throughout the year. Some of these include local benefits, Halloween, New Year's Eve and an annual Watermelon festival each Summer. As the owner also works as a caterer, the food and drink at these and other events are often some of the best in the city.

The Hightailers, a local favorite recently played a last show after playing every Thursday night for over 28 years. As a result, the band and establishment gained quite a following during this time. Over the course of the 28 plus years, a number of individuals attended shows on a regular basis which led to a feeling of community. While having gone through several changes over the years, the cafe and community still participate in the annual Art Car parade with a float which host a band along with a number of entertainers each year.

Another favorite of locals and visitors is that of Potroast. While similar in scope and style, this band tends to draw more of a college crowd. While others still draw hippies, cowboys and fire dancers. Whether a one night gig, an open mic, a touring band or local one, the venue often presents music loved by fans of any genre.

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.

While an outstanding music venue, the restaurant is also rated as one of the best Mexican food restaurants in the city. While open most days, it is important to call and verify hours. For, the venue has been known to close occasionally though rarely at various times throughout the year.

When bellying up to the bar, individuals can either try a frozen sangria from a machine or one of the many amazing handmade cocktails by one of the bartenders. While there are a number of restaurants and bars in the area, the food, drink and entertainment at Last Concert is something that should not be overlooked.
