Locating Great Mexican Food Houston TX

By Dorothy Olson


When it comes to Houston, there are a number of different ethnic restaurants. In most areas of the city, the most populous is those offering Mexican Food Houston TX. One of the most overlooked of restaurants serving this style cuisine is that of Last Concert Cafe in the Warehouse District.

Often known as LLC by regulars, Last Concert has been around for over 80 years. It is only within the last 30 years that the cafe has been serving Mexican cuisine. The inside and outside stages where live music can be heard most nights of the week are also somewhat newer than the original building which still hosts the restaurant and indoor patio.

The owner also produces a number of touring concerts and special events throughout the year. Some of these include local benefits, Halloween, New Year's Eve and an annual Watermelon festival each Summer. As the owner also works as a caterer, the food and drink at these and other events are often some of the best in the city.

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.

Even with all the events and music, the restaurant is still rated as one of the best in the city for Mexican food. While open most days for lunch and dinner, it is important to check before going as there are times when the business closes for lunch on weekends and occasional weekdays during the year. While this is the case, there is generally a good reason for these rare but sometimes necessary temporary closures.

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.
