"Owner Humberto Martinez wanted to create a restaurant that combined his Houston pride with the Mexican dishes he grew up on and his desire to inspire other Latinos. Born in 2023, Space City Birria has become a staple in Downtown Houston, offering standout dishes, including its Stellar Street Tacos, which feature four mini-corn tortillas stacked with proteins like smoky chicken tinga and cheesy birria. The 3 a.m. closing time on Fridays and Saturdays makes this the ideal stop after a night of dancing Downtown, but Thursdays are just as lively, with loteria beginning at 7:30 p.m." - Brianna Griff
