"We’re pretty sure Pampa Grill is the only place in Houston you can bring your own bottle of wine, eat a large platter of sizzled Argentinian meats, listen to a mustachioed man croon opera, watch a soccer match, and buy Argenentinian pantry staples all at the same time. It’s also delicious. The handmade empanadas have an epic cheese pull, the chimichurri is sharp and fresh, and you can get pounds of meat like thin picanha or Argentina blood sausage delivered to your table on a miniature grill for the bargain basement cost of $73. Plus, it’s a place you could take your parents one night and then your date for a wine-fueled night the next. It’s low-key but high-reward, especially on Friday nights." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
