Under the Volcano

Houston’s Best Restaurants Near Rice University | Eater Houston

"Situated away from the hustle of the area’s many retail shops and restaurants, this longtime haunt is relaxed, unpretentious, and replete with Day of the Dead artifacts and decor. Along with frozen cocktails and a full coffee bar, find Mexican American dishes like chips and queso, as well as tacos, empanadas, and tamales. Along with its weekly steak night, held from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Mondays, diners can also look forward to its two-day 35th-anniversary celebration starting September 21. Volcano will commemorate another year with frozen screwdrivers at its original price ($3.75) and $2 Jello shots." - Brittany Britto Garley
