Houston is home to gastronomic variety for everyone.
If you’re in the area and are craving for something, you can’t quite put your finger on, no need to say “Houston, we have a problem.” This primer of what Houston has to offer will suffice to say that it has a lot more beneath the surface.
Here are four places to eat in Houston for your every craving.
Rudy’s
Rudy’s is an acclaimed simple and no-frills barbeque spot revered by both locals and visitors.
This super casual, easy, and straight to the point service is one worth going back to. It’s not even just about the food.
The service is top-notch, like a delicious add on to the whole experience.
The food is the icing on the cake.
The lean brisket and the dynamite baby back ribs are to die for.
But make sure to order the pulled pork as it can make you cry and laugh at the same time. You’ll wish you had it every day.
The key is to slather everything with their awesome barbeque sauce.
This place is best to visit with friends and family as their restaurant setup is built to create a cozy family atmosphere.
Xochi
Xochi is one of the best places to eat in Houston. Xochi rejoices the culinary and native abundance of Mexico and its many geographic regions.
It is an inventive and sophisticated cuisine for any curious soul.
That goes to say that it’s not just another Mexican eatery, it elevates the status of this honestly native cuisine to higher standards.
I wouldn’t worry about translating the food because everything is delicious. From the tacos de cabrito (goat), robalo (sea bass) to Hojas de Bruselas (Brussels sprouts), you don’t need a translator to know these will make your heart jump up for joy.
If you’re weary of all the language, simply ask the waiters for their recommendation. It’s almost sure you’ll enjoy it as if you knew what the food meant.
As with Mexico, dine with your closest friends and enjoy top-caliber South American cuisine.
Maharaja Bhog
If you’re the adventurous type, then go to Maharaja Bhog.
They don’t have a menu, and you are at the mercy of the chef and today’s serving. Simply sit down, relax, and let the restaurant take care of you.
But there’s nothing to fear because they make sure that the waiters will serve authentic vegetarian Indian food.
Well, if you are a little afraid of spice, then you should learn to embrace it. The folks at the restaurant serve food along with the characteristic Indian spice.
But Que sera, sera. It’s going to be a pleasant gustatory experience in the end.
You will not have any other experience like it around as this is their only US branch, and all other branches are in India.
I’m not sure what they will serve you but rest assured that you’ll come back for seconds and thirds in this all you can eat sitting.
Come with people you want to enjoy something different and a memorable meal with.
Frank’s Pizza
Who doesn’t love a pizza? If the restaurant’s name is one preceded by a first person’s name, then it’s almost always guaranteed to serve home-style pizza dough with a down to earth service.
That’s exactly what you will get at Frank’s Pizza.
It’s a no-bull pizza experience. Hand-tossed pizza and sauce made daily.
Our own experience speaks for itself. You can smell the fresh ingredients in the air, and the whole aroma of the pizzeria teleports you to place where you’re encouraged to put down your phone, talk to your companions and just savor every meal.
Add the fact that the prices are reasonable, and there’s nothing to keep you from experiencing this Houston staple. Try the Grandma Pizza and the BBQ Chicken Pizza when you dine here.
