Little Rey

Best Restaurants in River Oaks, Houston | Eater Houston

"For a more casual dining experience, head to chef Ford Fry’s most casual spot. All-day Mexican restaurant Little Rey offers tacos of all sorts, breakfast chalupas, hotcakes slathered in butter, gooey queso, pozole, and so much more. For the full experience, try its signature dish, pollo al carbon — a half chicken roasted over coals is served with corn or flour tortillas, smoked onions and jalapeños, ranch beans, and cilantro rice. Don’t skimp on drinks or dessert. Margaritas and agua frescas offer the perfect refreshers, and the soft-serve ice cream, coming in flavors like tres leches and salty cajeta with fried peanuts, pair well with Little Rey’s fried plantains." - Marcy de Luna
