What to Eat at Minute Maid Park

April 29, 2013 by

Seeing a game of baseball at Minute Maid Park is a whole different experience than watching the Astros play on TV. One of the best parts of going to the park is getting to try all the different food. If you get hungry while watching the game, Minute Maid Park has a lot to choose from. Taste gourmet American classics at Little Bigs with homemade burgers and pork sliders. 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. If you're looking for a healthy meal head over to Green Fork for a salad. Of course ice cream stands, cotton candy stands, and beverage stands are located throughout the park as well.

Taco Keto: Houston’s Best Tacos on Four Wheels

April 22, 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.

Pho Binh: Bowl of Joy

April 15, 2013 by

Pho is a daily staple of Vietnamese cuisine – eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this soup of beef broth redolent with star anise, cinnamon, and caramelized onions and served with noodles, fresh vegetables, and meats is a culinary delight. Pho Binh’s original location, Pho Binh Trailer, is an unpretentious, gritty little spot to try pho in a wide range of varieties, with meats that range from familiar to Western diners to downright odd. If you are an adventurous sort, you’ll find brand new textures and flavors to try in every bowl. Pho Binh also has several other locations that offer equally delicious food in a more polished atmosphere, but Pho Binh Trailer is a place you have to experience at least once.

Gatlin’s BBQ: Worth the Wait

March 6, 2013 by

Some call it the best barbecue in Texas; this tiny place is certainly popular, doling out Texas-style dry rub barbecue meats to crowds every day of the week. Regulars agree that the brisket is out of this world; salty, smoky, and melt in your mouth tender. Lean, chewy ribs are a popular choice as well. The sauce, served on the side, strikes the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. Homemade sausages come smoked or in spicy links. Sides and desserts are of the humble home style variety; beans, coleslaw, green beans, and a bread pudding your mama might have made. Be forewarned, this kind of slow cooking can take a while, and Gatlin’s sometimes closes when they run out of meat; it’s best to call in your order ahead of time.
