    Mambos is awesome for seafood.

    El Tiempo. Ninfa's on Navigation is still worth it if you avoid the crowds.

    Mammacitas next to NASA and the original Ninfas are both really good. Chuy's and Pappacitos are good too. A lot of it depends on what you usually order. For me, good salsa and tortillas are a huge part of the equation.

    Pico's on Bellaire.

    I left Houston almost 10 years ago, and I make it a point to eat there every time I come back, usually twice a year. Excellent Tex-Mex and Mex-Mex.

    i've never had their authentic mexican dishes...i think their texmex is borderline bad though.

    i like lupe, and i think that people think it's cool to say that pappasito's sucks because it's such a big chain, but i still think it's great texmex

    I'll have to try that. Ha!

    All this talk got me wanting Mexican food so I went to get some here in San Diego. You'd be surprised how many places don't have chile con queso available. When I ask, they look at me crazy or bring out a small bowl of grated cheese. I gotta get home!!!

    No real favorite but any one of Gringos, Pappasitos, and Johnny Tamale will do for me.

    Pappasitos: it is a bit overpriced, but usually it's really good.

    Gringos: similar to Pappasitos but cheaper

    Eduardos: at Murphy and 90...haven't been there in a long time but it's a great hole in the wall.

    Bravos: Hwy 6 and Austin Pkwy ...good and cheap

    Chuys: few times I've been there I enjoyed it

    Casa Ole: for price it cannot be beat... the margaritas are cheap and surprisingly good...the red sauce is awesome.
