Jimmy Changas {Pearland}
A longtime favorite for Tex-Mex, fresh chips and salsa, and classic Mexican dishes. If there were a loyalty program based solely on salsa consumption, I'd probably qualify for a seat on the board of directors.
Los Cucos Mexican Cafe
One of our favorite Italian restaurants in Pearland. Grazia serves outstanding pasta, seafood, steaks, and desserts in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. My daughter works here, which first got us through the door, but the food is what keeps us coming bac...
Grazia

Edo Japan
One of the most popular Tex-Mex restaurants in the Houston area for good reason. Great fajitas, enchiladas, chips, salsa, and margaritas keep us coming back. I've consumed enough complimentary chips here that they should probably charge me rent.

Fresh sushi, Asian fusion dishes, and consistently great service make Aki one of our favorite restaurants. It's also one of the few places where I can pretend I'm being adventurous while still ordering something I've had ten times before.
Aki Sushi & Asian Fusion
One of my favorite spots for noodles, soups, and Asian comfort food. Whether you're craving ramen or a hearty noodle bowl, this place delivers. Their portions are large enough to make me confidently order extra food and immediately regret that decisi...
Noodle Master
Frequently ranked among the best barbecue restaurants in Texas, and deservedly so. The brisket is incredible, the sides are fantastic, and the line is worth every minute. As a meteorologist, I spend my career evaluating risk—and the risk of leaving h...
Home - Killen's BBQ - Barbecue Restaurant in TX
When people ask where to find one of the best burgers near Houston, Killen's Burgers is always near the top of my list. Great ingredients, creative toppings, and huge flavor. Not saying it's worth loosening your belt afterward, but I'm not saying it ...
Killen's Burgers
If comfort food had a passport, it would probably be stamped “Italiano’s.” This Pearland favorite serves generous portions of pasta, pizza, and classic Italian dishes in a relaxed, family-friendly setting. Every visit starts with me saying, “I’m not ...

The food here has two settings: delicious and “I need a nap afterward.”
