Houston’s Best Mexican Restaurants | Eater Houston

"Vacationing in Mexico City is all the rage these days, but for those looking to save on travel time and still experience the allure, a visit to Cuchara is an excellent alternative. For a decade, this gem has been serving up casual Mexico City fare throughout its happy, light-filled Montrose dining room, decorated with art from Mexico City muralist Cecilia Beaven. Paloma cocktails, presented in clay cups, are Instagram-worthy and pair well with dishes like the crispy tostadas and the cheese-stuffed grilled cactus filet. Try its daytime sister concept, Cucharita." - Kayla Stewart
