Where To Find 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 menu offers a variety of traditional Tex-Mex and Mexican food along with other options. The owner and proprietor also hosts local bands, some which have played every Thursday for over 28 years. In addition, there a number of special events held each and every year. Some of these include an annual Watermelon Festival, New Year's Eve and Halloween celebrations.

The Hightailers, a local favorite recently played a last show after playing every Thursday night for over 28 years. As a result, the band and establishment gained quite a following during this time. Over the course of the 28 plus years, a number of individuals attended shows on a regular basis which led to a feeling of community. While having gone through several changes over the years, the cafe and community still participate in the annual Art Car parade with a float which host a band along with a number of entertainers each year.

Another favorite of locals and visitors is that of Potroast. While similar in scope and style, this band tends to draw more of a college crowd. While others still draw hippies, cowboys and fire dancers. Whether a one night gig, an open mic, a touring band or local one, the venue often presents music loved by fans of any genre.

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.

Beyond the entertainment, the restaurant continues to serve outstanding Mexican food with a number of American options. While traditional in style, several dishes are named after past and present employees who created the dish by adding a few extra elements. While originally only serving beer and wine, the bar now has a liquor license and offers a full bar with a number of local microbrews and name brand liquors.

While there are a number of restaurants operating in the area, Last Concert is just one of many hot spots which should not be overlooked. Whether visiting the establishment for a look at the historic building, the bar, food or nightlife, the venue has a lot to offer. Whereas, there are also a number of art galleries with many more downtown offerings being a short drive up I-10 West.
