Discovering Great Mexican Food Houston TX

By Dorothy Olson


When it comes to Houston, there are a number of different ethnic restaurants. In most areas of the city, the most populous is those offering Mexican Food Houston TX. One of the most overlooked of restaurants serving this style cuisine is that of Last Concert Cafe in the Warehouse District.

Often known as LLC by regulars, Last Concert has been around for over 80 years. It is only within the last 30 years that the cafe has been serving Mexican cuisine. The inside and outside stages where live music can be heard most nights of the week are also somewhat newer than the original building which still hosts the restaurant and indoor patio.

The menu offers a variety of traditional Tex-Mex and Mexican food along with other options. The owner and proprietor also hosts local bands, some which have played every Thursday for over 28 years. In addition, there a number of special events held each and every year. Some of these include an annual Watermelon Festival, New Year's Eve and Halloween celebrations.

One band, The Hightailers, played every Thursday for over twenty eight years. With the restaurant and music venue being so popular, there are other bands and musicians which continue to fill the time slot on a regular basis. Whereas, there are local and touring acts gracing either the indoor or outdoor stage on a daily or weekly basis.

Whereas, another local band Potroast has just celebrated a 20th year anniversary. While the Hightailers crowd was much more of a hippie crowd, Potroast seems to draw more college age fans. While those playing on other nights tend to change more frequently, the owner and management staff have always been open to those wishing to play a residency given the right opportunity.

Located in the newly developed Warehouse District, just East of downtown, the building has a history all its own. For, in the 1920s, the building played host to a brothel which was frequented by a local judge who lived in the neighborhood. To assure discretion, the business required patrons to knock on the red door before gaining entry. In order to keep a small piece of history alive, the current owner requires patrons to do so before gaining entry by an employee, doorman or other employees.

Even with all the events and music, the restaurant is still rated as one of the best in the city for Mexican food. While open most days for lunch and dinner, it is important to check before going as there are times when the business closes for lunch on weekends and occasional weekdays during the year. While this is the case, there is generally a good reason for these rare but sometimes necessary temporary closures.

There are a plethora of restaurants serving a variety of ethnic cuisines in the city. As such, Last Concert is only one of many which individuals living in, or visiting the city might want to check out. The downtown area, historic Houston Heights, Montrose and Warehouse District all have a number of quality choices when it comes to food and nightlife. Although, there are few which provide both several nights of the week.
