Come here for brunch! This place is not your typical TexMex fare (for that go to El Tiempo!) but is Mexico City style Mexican food. Don't leave without getting the Cinco Leches Cake!

Arts & Culture
This is a must-visit while in Houston. The Menil is a stunning art collection (really a small art museum) that is free to visit. Close by is the famous Rothko Chapel so go and make an afternoon of it.
