Caracol
Caracol is most famous for its seafood dishes, but it also has vegetarian and vegan meals, many brunch options, and Mexican dessert. Caracol actually means “snail” in Spanish; the name was chosen by the restaurant’s chef, Hugo Ortega. The restaurant is also very popular among travelers, as many people from other states stop there for dinner every time they pass through Houston. If you haven’t been there before, you might want to start with ostiones asados, which is one of Caracol’s most popular meals. It includes wood-roasted oysters from the Gulf of Mexico, cheese, bread crumbs, and chipotle butter.

You may like to try the hot dipping salsa with the shrimp ratones. The restaurant is run by Domenic Laurenzo, who helped his father open the first location in 1998 not long after his grandmother, Ninfa Laurenzo, saw her longstanding restaurant business go bankrupt. El Tiempo honors her traditions.
Guadalajara
Guadalajara is the perfect restaurant for family outings, as it’s guaranteed to have everything that any of your family members may think of, from beef fajitas to fried coffee ice cream.
