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.
