We LOVE these tacos. If you’re a meat eater, the Akausho Picadillo is amazing, and if you’re vegan or vegetarian, they have a large selection to choose from. The salsas are what make this place addictive.

Small microbrewery with beer flights, and changing beers to try out. They usually have pop up food available, and it’s a nice low key place to have a local beer.

Wine bar in the Heights with happy hour EVERY DAY from open until 5. Can’t beat the $6 pitchers of beer, and $5 glasses of wine. The food is really good here too. Can’t go wrong with a bruschetta board, or anything here really.

This is a place where not only can you get the best fried chicken, but one of the only places we know where you have the pepino to buy a 40 of beer, OR a bottle of Dom Perignon. Seriously, go for the fried chicken!

When in Texas, eat like a Texan….and get BBQ. Truth BBQ about a mile down the street from our house was ranked #3 BBQ in Texas by Texas Monthly. This is the 2nd location after the original in Brenham, TX. It will not disappoint if you’re craving Texas BBQ.

24 hour donuts with a drive thu. They have regular and vegan donuts, and they’re delicious. Our house favorites are the maple cream filled, and apple fritter.

If you love crawfish, don’t miss coming here. If crawfish aren’t in season, they have a large menu with Louisiana Cajun food options like po’boys, boudin, gumbo, alligator and crab legs.
Our personal recommendation is the Mac n cheese with roast beef debris and gravy.

Mediterranean food you don’t want to miss. This is a casual, order at the counter place in Montrose. My go to is the chicken kabob, hummus, tabouli and potatoes, but they are known for their fall off the bone lamb, and large variety of fresh sides and salads. They have 5 or 6 different flavors of hummus, and fresh made juices.

There are a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in Houston, but this one in EADO is our favorite for pho, and other traditional Vietnamese appetizers, rice and noodle dishes. All of the lemongrass dishes are to die for, and if in stock, try one of the Vietnamese desserts!

This sushi restaurant is in the beautifully architected MKT plaza. They have a huge menu with traditional sushi options, but what makes them stand out to us is the large menu of vegan sushi rolls that are more creative and exciting than a simple avocado or vegetable roll. Even if you’re a meat eater, we recommend trying some of the vegan sushi rolls that are packed with flavor.

GO EAT HERE NOW! This is a blend of a Indian and Portuguese food. We cannot find one thing on the menu that didn’t blow us away. The paella is insanely good.

Asian smokehouse and bar in the Heights created by two James Beard award winning chefs (Tyson Cole of Uchi & Aaron Franklin of Franklin BBQ).
This is BBQ meets Asian cuisine, and the building (a converted church) is worth seeing alone for the architecture.

Vegan breakfast food, coffee and beer. Even if you’re a meat eater, this place is worth trying out.
They have a mix of sweet and savory items such as chickn fried shrooms n waffles with grits, strawberry cheesecake pancakes, breakfast quesadilla, breakfast sandwiches, tacos, pizza….
