Uchi: Creative Sushi

September 12, 2013 by

If you're getting bored with regular sushi offerings head over to Uchi for a unique twist on your favorite rolls. This Houston restaurant tries to use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible and provide only the freshest pieces of fish. Start with the tomato katsu, panko fried green tomatoes and sesame. The tomatoes come out hot and tender. Customers say these are some of the best fried green tomatoes. The brussel sprouts will make you love brussel sprouts. The yokai berry is a refreshing dish with salmon, kale, and Asian pears. Regulars enjoy the creative rolls like the Ham & Eggs with katsu pork belly, yolk custard, and espellette, the Bond with avocado, sun-dries tomato, gobo, and soy paper, the Pitchfork with wagyu beef, leek crisp, avocado, and yuzu kosho, and the Shag tempura roll with salmon, avocado, and sun-dried tomato. A meal at Uchi is expensive but if you come during Happy Hour you can enjoy great bargains on regular menu dishes.

BB’s Café: Cajun Fare in Houston

August 14, 2013 by

Craving authentic Cajun cuisine? Plan a trip to Houston's BB’s Café. The dining area is laid back and comfy, and the menu is just what you’d expect from a place that started out as a Po-Boy joint. The Po-Boys are stuffed with great ingredients like gulf shrimp, fried Mississippi catfish, Louisiana crawfish tails and homemade roast beef, on a French roll with fixings. You’ll think that you just landed on the bayou! Try other favorites like Maw-Maw’s Gumbo, crawfish etouffee or red beans & rice. There are also lots of Tex-Orleans platters that you can enjoy. Having an event? BB’s can cater any affair, and can even put together a crawfish-shrimp boil!

Taco Keto: Houston’s Best Tacos on Four Wheels

July 24, 2013 by

There are plenty of taco trucks to choose from in Houston, but Taco Keto is among the best. This unassuming bright red truck doesn’t offer any frills – “dining in” consists of sitting at a large communal table outside and taking in a telenovela with your meal – but in exchange you get fresh, delicious tacos at rock bottom prices. Served on seasoned corn tortillas with potatoes, cilantro, cheese, and your choice of two salsas, these greasy little bites really hit the spot for lunch or as a late night snack. And at these prices, you can get three or four for the price of a sandwich elsewhere. Diners who frequent the truck rave about the tacos al pastor, made with shredded pork. If you’re not in the mood for tacos, Taco Keto also serves up tortas, burritos, and Mexican sodas.

Delicious Tex-Mex favorites are being served at El Real. Astros Sizzling Grille and Dining Car Grille are serving favorites like hot dogs, burgers, and chili cheese fries.
