Which place has the best spinach enchilada's in town? I usually prefer Sylvia's Enchiladas for this, but was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations.
Last Concert Cafe - http://www.yelp.com/biz/last-concert-cafe-houston-2 It isn't my favorite but it definitely deserves to be mentioned. Yes, the place that lets you light up also serves food. The enchiladas are fantastic. So after you work up your appetite in the back doing bad things you can eat exactly what you're craving.
Hmm....My favorites would probably be: Chuy's (only because of their sauce) Gringo's (their sauce and their margarita's) Then there's everyone else. Pugs
Spanish Village is only good if you're looking for 1950s Tex Mex, i.e. covered in Velveeta and chili powder. There's a certain subset that likes that, but that's what it is. I was forced to eat there nearly weekly as a child. It's one of the few tastes I can recall on demand and it still makes me feel a little ill.
Dona Lupe on the east side of town (Woodforest Rd between Federal and Uvalde roads) has really good cheese enchiladas.
Dropping in a vote for one of my favs ...surprised its not been posted yet. Spanish Flower in the Heights.
Fajita Pete's - Hands down the BEST beef fajitas I have ever had. Chuy's - love the boom boom sauce; wait staff has always been excellent. Gringos - Consistently good Pappasitos - Overpriced but not overrated Taco Milagro - Just discovered it. Excellent place to just relax. Margaritas are nice and strong. Cafe Adobe - overrated
Good responses. But I don't think the two we went to yesterday are even mentioned on here. We started out at Maria Selma on Richmond. The margaritas were decent, but nothing to write home about. We ended up getting a crab/avacado appetizer and a mixed seafood grill fajita platter. Both were ok, I'd give this place an "average" rating. Next we went to TQLA. Now this place is different and kinda fun. We were both pretty full so we didn't order any food, but from the menu listings, I'll definitely go back. We had their margaritas which were above average, but the cool thing about this place is the tequila. I think the menu was 10 pages long. I ended up getting a tequila sampler platter that had 3 shots of different tequila. One was a caramel tasting version from 1942. The next was one that was aged in a barrel that had previously aged scotch, and the third was one from Jeff Bagwell. All three were damn good, but our favorite was the scotch one. All in all, I'd recommend the place. Just realize the prices are on par with El Tiempo.
