"Eating at this tasting menu restaurant in Houston feels like dining at a new-age, minimalist resort spa—one focused on Mexican food and heirloom corn varieties. Tatemó’s dining room is small, lit by a few candles, and you can barely see anything, except your date across the table, and the small plates in front of you. Plus, paying in advance when making a reservation ensures you never have to do something as unsexy as fiddle with your credit cards. They’re only open for dinner on Friday and Saturday, so you'll have to plan ahead, which will undoubtedly score some extra brownie points with your date. " - anne cruz
