On JFK Blvd, a short drive from the airport, there's a good & unexpensive Medirerranean place. http://www.alwadicuisine.com/ It's usually packed at lunchtime on weedays though.
Yes siree! Good recommendation. Agree completely. The one in Pearland is complete trash. IMO, Los Cucos is the kind of restaurant fat people who barely taste their food go to.
I've never eaten at a Los Cucos. I just work on 1960, so I know there's a location closer to IAH than Kingwood.
