Discovering Great Mexican Food Houston TX

By Dorothy Olson


One great thing about the south is the variety of cuisine available. Being so close to the gulf, whether resident or visitor, Mexican Food Houston TX is often a popular choice for those wishing to dine out. When looking for some of the best gulf coast seafood and Mexican seafood available, Galveston is only a short drive south of the city.

While some have recovered from hurricane damage, others are still in the process. One in particular that recovered rather quickly is that of Last Concert Cafe. Last Concert or LCC as its known by regulars is a Mexican restaurant and nightlife venue located in the Warehouse District.

The proprietor also produces special events throughout the year. Whether the often comic and festive Halloween celebration and costume contest, New Year's Eve Gala or annual Watermelon Festival, all events include great choices when it comes to food, drink and live entertainment. Whether a magician at New Year's, a day full of bands at Watermelon, or a New Year's Eve stellar-line-up with a complimentary champagne toast at midnight, events often have something for everyone.

One band, The Hightailers, played every Thursday for over twenty eight years. With the restaurant and music venue being so popular, there are other bands and musicians which continue to fill the time slot on a regular basis. Whereas, there are local and touring acts gracing either the indoor or outdoor stage on a daily or weekly basis.

Whereas, another local band Potroast has just celebrated a 20th year anniversary. While the Hightailers crowd was much more of a hippie crowd, Potroast seems to draw more college age fans. While those playing on other nights tend to change more frequently, the owner and management staff have always been open to those wishing to play a residency given the right opportunity.

Located in the newly developed Warehouse District, just East of downtown, the building has a history all its own. For, in the 1920s, the building played host to a brothel which was frequented by a local judge who lived in the neighborhood. To assure discretion, the business required patrons to knock on the red door before gaining entry. In order to keep a small piece of history alive, the current owner requires patrons to do so before gaining entry by an employee, doorman or other employees.

While an outstanding music venue, the restaurant is also rated as one of the best Mexican food restaurants in the city. While open most days, it is important to call and verify hours. For, the venue has been known to close occasionally though rarely at various times throughout the year.

There are a plethora of restaurants serving a variety of ethnic cuisines in the city. As such, Last Concert is only one of many which individuals living in, or visiting the city might want to check out. The downtown area, historic Houston Heights, Montrose and Warehouse District all have a number of quality choices when it comes to food and nightlife. Although, there are few which provide both several nights of the week.
