Solid option for barbacoa and corn tortillas. This place also serves birria, menudo, and carnitas…read moreon the weekends. I suggest purchasing your food on the earlier side as the last part of the barbacoa can be a bit on the fattier side. A large package of tortillas runs $3.00 while the barbacoa is ~$17/lb. What I like about the barbacoa vs other places is that the meat is nicely marbled, with very little fat and good seasoning!

This place is a one-hit wonder for me, and the name reminds me of an old very classic song…read more"Louie Louie", by The Kingsmen. Listen to the original while reading some interesting facts, and sing the review to the parody "Luis, Luis". Original: http://grooveshark.com/#!/search/song?q=The%20Kingsmen%20Louie%20Louie Interesting background facts from http://www.louielouie.net/06-history.htm "It's been called everything from a musical joke, pure garbage, the dumbest song ever written, to the quintessential pop single, the first punk record and the missing link between fifties rock n' roll and sixties hard rock. This is the SHORT history of the song "LOUIE LOUIE. 1. With the exception of Paul McCartney's "Yesterday," it's been covered more times than any other pop song (over 1,000 versions and counting). 2. It was the subject of obscenity investigations by the FBI and the FCC, culminating in an airwave ban in the state of Indiana. ... The Kingsmen used the controversy to their fullest advantage, as kids around America passed around handwritten notes with what they thought were the supposedly filthy lyrics." CHORUS: Luis, Luis, oh no Me gotta go Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said Luis, Luis, oh you see Me gotta go Fine barbecoa awaits for me A bit tough but not too greasy Tacos with sprigs of fresh cilantro Lime on the side, and onions oh -CHORUS- Chips real thick, hard and crunchy Salsa's bland, and liquidy Buneulos crispy, topped with sugar, But I wished more cinnamon was there -CHORUS- Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!

my third time at BCN :) but this time for an early din din…read more beautiful table setup with tulips we started with the dragonfruit tonic &gin (such a pretty drink, my go-to per usual) we ordered: - Cinco Jotas Ibérico ham and toasted "pa amb tomaca": 10/10 their signature - recommended by our waiter, very unique and light as appetizer - Beet-pistachio-raspberry ravioli salad, kefir cheese, and pistachio oil: v prettily plated - Bomba rice cooked in cuttlefish's black ink, grilled branzino, langoustine, and octopus: MUST-ORDER esp if you are a seafood lover. You get a bit of everything: charred octopus (so perfectly seasoned); grilled brazino with skin, and fresh lightly seated langoustine (u can taste the sweetnes of the meat) for desserts: we got - "Gypsy's arm" sponge cake filled with whipped cream and caramelized custard: my go-to always, very light and fluffy cream to end the night - complimentary 3 flavors sorbets (for special occasion) One can also order coffee to end the meal service was really fast, we were greeted and welcomed by so many staff extremely professional in helping us enjoying our celebration lovely and classic 1920s Hollywood home style valet is $8, but there's street parking also we would lovee to come back soooon~

BCN strikes again. They deserved the Michelin Star and it is definitely a must try Houston…read morerestaurant. Service was impeccable. Think I've said enough. This place is a 9.3/10. The intimacy of the small converted Montrose house extends to the explosion of Spanish flavors. It's a small restaurant that is great for a date, but the 10 top bar is my choice for a great dinner. Starting with the Ibérico jamón, which is an amazing dish I think everyone should try. Salt cured pork leg that is aged for years and imported. I would say that it should definitely come with more of the tomato puree on the side. Overall 9.5/10. Bomba rice was special. It's cooked in cuttlefish ink giving it the distinctive coloring with octopus, mini lobster shrimp langostino and a crispy skin branzino. This was a real treat. Rice almost has a meaty beef broth flavoring with a hint of seafood brine. Branzino was cooked perfectly. No notes 9.8/10. Lamb chop was the best lamb chop I have had in Houston. That's it. 9.8/10. Duck breast was different, definitely worth a try. I don't know if I would order it again, but it's not as tender as I would have liked considering the thin slices. The quince reduction block thing really turns it up a notch, but overall left me wanting compared to the amazing standouts of the other dishes. 8.5/10. Gin and tonics are out of this world. You will not experience a better selection of them in this state. My favorite was the Ginger and lime, but I tried six of them. All great.

I have to shout out Adan and Shaye at Blake's Bistro/Starbucks in the San Luis! Adan made my stay…read moreat the hotel wonderful because he went above and beyond to be kind and make sure my food was delivered quickly! All week during my conference, Shaye was working hard at the Starbucks, delivering great service, tasty coffees and navigating a broken expression machine ... and all with a smile! On my last day I got to chat with her more since things calmed down and despite (what looked like), a crazy week, she still had a smile on and was so nice. The whole staff was honestly amazing, Jennifer served my team and I during a VERY busy lunch rush and she navigated a 150+ crowd with ease. Abigail was running food out and had a bubbly personality and Rachel was also hustling hard during the height of a busy crowd! I really appreciated the whole staff here. As far as the food, I got a bagel with cream cheese everyday and it was perfect for a quick bite. My last day I treated myself to an omelette and it was a great finish. For lunch at Blake's I tried the chicken nachos and they were good as well. This place was always packed and the staff was consistently friendly and efficient while I stayed here! The overall vibe was chic and clean. I didn't get to try the buffet while I was here, but I did see several people enjoying it! Thank you!

Our server was not friendly and she seemed to be annoyed we were seated in her section. We ordered the shrimp kisses, which were yummy and had a unique variety of flavors. I then ordered the fish tacos. I was really disappointed. They were presented pretty but all three had a slab of tasteless, dry, very bland, white fish in them. I didn't understand this because the menu described the fish tacos as blackened and so flavorful, but they seemed to have no seasoning at all. Luckily, my husband ordered the Blackened Seafood Pot Pie, which although could have been spicier, he enjoyed it very much.

Fortunately, both were on the HH menu for a reduced price. The pomegranate Mojito was tasty light and refreshing. My bartender, JJ, didn't give me silverware or place a bar napkin under my drink, or the lady sitting near me. My food was out in RECORD TIME! I am impressed! The Fondeaux and the Rattlers were excellent. WORD of caution to those who can't handle heat, do not get the Rattlers! The jalapeños are fire! They come with ranch, after trying that I asked for Blue Cheese and that seemed to calm the heat and added an extra something. I can't say what, but it was nice! I enjoyed my visit and I strongly suggest you try HH (Happy Hour) menu items. I recommend this restaurant. The staff were attentive and my food was out before I could finish my beverage. GN3

We pulled up into the MFA parking lot and came across this beautiful truck. Colorful, eccentric, and best of all CLEAN. We walked up and took a look at their menu. Tostadas, burritos, quesadillas, and tacos, and all looking heavenly. They had plenty of meat choices too, such as chicken, beef, and even carnitas! We grabbed an order of their chicken tacos (all entrees served with beans and rice), and we were AMAZED. The food came out quick and perfectly hot. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and their toppings were so good! Our corn tortillas tasted fresh and the taco just melted in your mouth. Not only was the service quick and the tacos delicious, but the owner was SO incredibly nice. We spoke to him and his mother (who helped run the truck) and we were just in love with their kind, gentle personalities! We are obviously getting them to cater our wedding and do an updated review on their catering services. Since they are a food truck, they're not always in the same location. Just give them a call/text on the YELP phone number provided and they will tell you their location schedule, so you can hunt those tacos down!
