La Mora: The Best of Tuscany

    La Mora
    by krackhorre
    La Mora is my absolute favorite Italian restaurant in the greater Houston area. I was 14 years old when they opened and have been a loyal customer ever since. The atmosphere in the front room is very warm and romantic and is very remenicent of a Tuscan cottage. The main dining room is a site to behold with a vaulted ceiling and outer walls lined with columns. The wait staff are very friendly and accomodating without being overbearing. Most of their food is incredible, I can safely say that I have tried at least 80% of the menu at La Mora and have never been disappointed.

    Sabai Thai Cafe
    by H-TownJourneyman
    This tiny Thai restaurant within Chinatown of southwest Houston serves up some mighty scrumptious food, and for a great price! The place is very clean, and has a quaint atmosphere with lovely aquariums on the walls with beautiful tropical fish. The menu has an excellent variety of traditional Thai cuisine, the spring rolls, fried dumplings or one the many soups here make great appetizers. Entrees include an assortment of fish, pork, and chicken dishes. The drunken noodles, satay chcken, & roasted pork leg are wonderful. The sweet sticky rice is a good dessert to finish off the meal. And with cheap imported & domestic beers, an inexpensive lunch menu, and an extremely friendly staff, Sabai is a great choice to enjoy some Thai food here in town.

    This Northwest side restaurant is the only place on this side of town, and one of the better ones in Houston, to get truly authentic Thai food! Fairly small, but very quaint, the staff, even when busy, is extremely nice and their service is top notch. The menu has a wide selection of Thai items, as well as a few Chinese dishes as well. All the food here is prepared fresh, and has such a great flavor to it. Appetizers such as spring rolls and fish cakes are really good. And the many entrees consisting of meats such as beef, chicken, and duck are incredibly delicious! They seem to use the perfect amount of curry in their meals, not overpowering, but enough to bring out the zest of the food. Prices are very reasonable for a Thai restaurant, especially one that has this quality of food! Anyone who enjoys Thai food will enjoy their experience here!

    This is a walk-up-to-the-counter-and-order restaurant.A few minutes they call your number and you go and pick up your tray. There is a condiment bar with al kinds of condiments (hot, hotter, and cojones! salsa). There is also a bar that makes a variety of margaritas. In fact later at night a lot of the emphasis is on the bar scene. Not a lot of atmosphre as far as the building itself goes, but still my favorite place for Tex-Mex. They also make their tortillas fresh right there on the grill.

    I frequently get the 'Poco de Todo' (a little of everything) plate, which is a nice sampler. Besides that I like their gorditas and of course, the fajitas.

    The Fish in Mid Town is great for social and sushi, the prices are right, and there is a bar called Seven around the corner.

    Try the "Shoi Roll", "Bubba Gump Roll"

    This is not a restaurant tip, but praise to my mother-in-law. Without a shadow of a doubt, she is the best cook in the Southwest. If it were not for the existence of my own mother, I would have gone as far to state that my mother-in-law is the best cook in the whole world.

    There are scores upon scores of Mexican restaurants to choose from in Houston. As a matter of fact, I read somewhere that there were over 1500. At first I didn’t believe that, but as drove around the city I saw one on every corner. There may be some truth behind this.

    This nice Mexican restaurant serves classical Mexican and TexMex dishes which are very good. And for once, you can actually get spicy food! The fajitas are best.

    Note, this restaurant is great for kids as there is an outdoor playground for them. But, if you are not willing to eat next to screaming brats, there are little quiet rooms available too!

    Great margarita's with a kick, they are not shy on the alcohol content!
    Great fajitas, spicy stuffs!

    This Northwest side establishment has only one big problem, it is so popular and people enjoy it so much, that is generally packed full of hungry diners. But this problem, if you want to call it that, should clue you in to what a great place this is to eat Tex-Mex food! The restaurant itself is nothing real fancy, simple decor with traditional Mexican items adorning the walls. But the food is delicious! Prepared very fresh, items such as enchiladas, fajitas, tamales, and flautas all have a mouthwatering flavor to them. The margaritas here are some of the best around, but be careful! They are so tasty they can sneak up on you, and before you know it, you might be falling out of your chair! :) The staff is very efficient under the usual busy atmosphere, and are as friendly as can be. And with more than reasonable prices, and an even cheaper lunch menu, you just cant go wrong dining here.

    Well, other than the Margaritas of course, they have some great chicken enchiladas here! :)

    • Great sushi at a great price.

    Just tick or number the list you're given when you're ready. They have Sashami, Sushi Rolls, Handrolls and everything else you'd normally expect.

    A more detailed review is at the website below.

    They also have an item called Deep Fried Madness.

    It's a great piece of sushi fusion!

    This is a nice bar, with a good choice of beers including from microbreweries, but any kind of drink is available. Very often, however, their beers are flat (what are they doing with their beer tanks??) and their margaritas are of varied quality, more often extremely bitter and awful than good (depending on who prepares it at the bar I suppose). Great pizzas cooked in a wood fire, great crawfish. It can be very crowded on Friday evenings, starting at 5 pm, with the parking lot completely full and a very smokey room.
    When the weather is nice, it is a pleasure to sit on their patio overlooking a bayou going into Clear Lake. The crowd is all ages. Lots of people who work at nearby NASA go there.

    Mediterranean Pizza
    Full Sail Amber beer (when it is not flat...)
