"The family behind Mamajuana has advanced the culinary bounties of the Dominican Republic in Houston, and Mamajuana’s speakeasy does the same with cocktails. Their spacious bar, which seats more than 150 people, is hidden behind “El Campesino,” an exquisite painting depicting farmers from the Dominican Republic. Cocktails are tropical — think classic margaritas and palomas — and inventive. Don’t miss the gin and tonic sweetened and colored by butterfly pea powder." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart
