Pico’s Restaurant

In this edition of Black Girls Who Brunch take on the Houston Chronicle’s top 100 list, my co-worker and I took our Friday lunch trip to Pico's Restaurant in Upper Kirby. Pico's is a Mexican restaurant that attempts to recognize the different cuisines from the seven regions of Mexico. The Setup: Pico's is right in the mix off of Kirby and Richmond making it an easy trip for most inner loopers. Pardon my ignorance regarding Mexican architecture, but places like Pico's always put in my the mind of the Alamo. Inside of the restaurant sticks with that theme with some [...]

June Foodie Group: Gloria’s Latin Cuisine

For this month's foodie group/birthday celebration for one of my friends, we went to Gloria's Latin Cuisine Restaurant. Let me start by saying that Tex-Mex is huge in Houston. There are variations of Mexican restaurants and Tex-Mex restaurants literally on every corner here. With so many options, everyone I know calls a different Tex-Mex/Mexican restaurant their favorite. Due to so many options, it is hard for a restaurant to stand out to me in this cuisine area. Many of my friend's call Gloria's their favorite and on my first two visits I really did not understand why. I reluctantly went [...]
