items One of the best things about Houston is how diverse we are. As a native Houstonian, I’ve had the great privilege in trying out numerous cuisine at a variety of price points. Hope you find something you like on here!

The absolute BEST Tex-Mex restaurant. I love the food, the drinks, the atmosphere….everything. I love this place so much I had my birthday dinner here. My only tip is to sit outside because the inside can get a little smokey but if you love the smell...
Candente
This is one of my go-to breakfast/brunch spots in Montrose. Insanely beautiful back patio, kind of makes you forget where you are. Little $ but I like the food enough to go back. Drinks are ok.
Brasil
I think every time I come here I have an out of body experience. Can have long wait times during peak season but the variety of flavors and combos is great.
Crawfish Cafe
This is my all-time favorite Vietnamese restaurant no one has even come close to beating this spot for me.
Huynh Restaurant
Ok..kind of crazy but if you’re looking for something quick and simple I recommend the Sandwhich Bar inside. You can build your own or order off their menu.
Central Market
I find myself constantly going back to this sushi spot. Extensive menu, good drinks and really nice ambiance. Can get packed so try to get a reservation.
Blue Sushi Sake Grill
One of my favorite pizza spots! Their margarita pizza and bottle of wine is so yummy to share.
Pizaro's Pizza Houston | Authentic Napoletana, Detroit & New York Style ...
Oh my god please go here, I have NEVER been let down. Nice family style plates and truly spicy 🌶️
Wanna Bao
Their drive through comes in clutch when you’re hungover. Also have a good variety of savory and sweet options.
Kolache Shoppe
The restaurant is so vibey, the food is incredible in a way I can’t even describe. It is a little on the nicer side but honestly worth all the coins. Sandwhiched between two busy roads so i personally don’t like to sit on the patio.
Oporto Fooding House & Wine
Sorry Pluckers you’ve lost me forever. I love this place DOWN, micheladas are always good as hell. Wings so good, bone in or boneless doesn’t matter as for them extra crispy and devour.
Big City Wings- EaDo
Get the seafood tower if you’re feeling special ✨
Hudson House
If I ever want poke I always come here. Never busy, super fresh, wide variety of protein and toppings.
Poke in the Bowl
The way this place has a chokehold on me needs to be studied. Another great Montrose spot, parking is limited, inside is small but they have a patio!
Thai Tail
Look…I know this is a bbq spot but I have only eaten on their patio for crawfish which is so insanely good it hasn’t even peaked my interest to eat anything else there.
The Patio at The Pit Room
Okay soo there are two locations you can go to. The first one is on West Gray which is tagged here, I like this location because I always find parking and the food smacks every time. The second location is in downtown. It can be a little tedious find...
La Calle Tacos
Ok ok you probably want some BBQ while you're here. This is one of the only spots I've gotten BBQ in Houston. It's super flavorful and hasn't led me astray.
Pinkerton's Barbecue – COME AND EAT IT®
Another great Tex-Mex spot, not #1 (that belongs to Candente imo) but I still go to this one when its convenient. Parking can be tricky when full but they have a big lot so you'll find a spot eventually. Inside is like a maze but it's super cute and ...
The Original Ninfa's on Navigation
Okay another honorable Vietnamese restaurant is Lien's Viet Kitchen. Located between the Museum District, the Med Center and Third Ward you can find this place. I overall think Huynh is top tier but Lien's has more bubble tea options, which sometimes...
Lien's Viet Kitchen
This I would consider on the nicer dinner side, it's a mix of Portuguese and Indian cuisines! I've gone here for an anniversary and it was great. Food and drinks both.
Da Gama Canteen
I love to come here for breakfast on the weekends and sometimes dinner during the week. They have events on certain days like steak night, etc. I feel like their breakfast plate portions are generous, the coffee/tea/mimosa are great, and it's located...
MKT Bar at Phoenicia
This is one of my favorite burger spots in Houston. It's located near a lot of bars and closes around 10 or 11 depending on the day.
Rodeo Goat
Now THIS is my top burger spot, sorry Rodeo Goat you don't top this. I used to come to this burger spot as a kid and it has withstood the test of time and still sells an amazing fucking burger. IDC if it's located in a shack under the Westpark Tollwa...
Bubba's Texas Burger Shack
This is another breakfast spot I love to go to but the wait can be terrible…On the off-day when Im free during the week I love to come here without suffering through the long weekend wait times. Really yummy lattes.
Harry's Restaurant
This is another breakfast spot located in Montrose that I will forever go to. There is only street parking, which can be tedious, and it's fairly small so a wait can occur.. However, if you're willing to endure you'll have a great Mexican breakfast. ...
Cucharita
Carrabba’s SPECIFICALLY the one on Kirby that I have tagged here is one of my favorite Italian restaurants. I’ve been coming here since I was little and the food always hits. You ma notice there are a couple Carrabba’s around town but this one is the...
Carrabba's Italian Grill
So, you won’t find this looking on Google but there is a taco truck (blue in color) located at the address provided which is a gas station. Their tacos are so good and I believe they are a dollar each, unless inflation has caused them to increase. Th...
$1 Taco Truck - Tacos Laguna
Not only are the daiquiris so good, the food is pretty great for being a dive bar. They have air hockey and pool tables which are always fun and their front patio is neat. Food is brought to you.
Voodoo Queen Daiquiri Dive
This place sells hotdogs and burgers, not sure if there is anything else but if you have the munchies GO. I’ve personally only tried the burgers and had a pitcher of beer and it was insane. They have cool combinations, check it out!
Moon Tower Inn
They have a couple different locations and this is not to be confused with spicy girl, similar names. Although I feel like both chains are great, this one is BETTER. Ive only been to this location but I think they share similar items across all locat...
