The 38 Best Restaurants in Houston, Spring 2025 | Eater Houston
"James Beard-nominated chef Emmanuel Chavez showcases the beauty and breadth of masa in this reservation-only, multi-course, Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant, giving many diners a new appreciation for Mexican cuisine. Though the lineup of dishes constantly changes (often dish by dish), diners can find masa-fueled bites like the fan-favorite quesadilla and a version of the enmolada, which features a plantain tortilla, mole negro, and masa tempura sweet potato. Last summer, the restaurant transitioned into its seafood-focused menu, which featured a bluefin tuna tostada with chipotle aioli and a pico mix, and fish-forward dishes like a mackerel taco stuffed with pickled ramp, hoja santa, and black bean puree. Know before you go: This restaurant, which is just blocks away from a church, is BYOB with a $20 corkage fee for the first bottle, and $40 for any bottle thereafter. Non-alcoholic drinks include canned tepache, Mexican cokes, and Topo Chico." - Brittany Britto Garley
