2 days in Houston: Seeking Best steak and Mexican Food

Taste of Texas on par with Golden Corral and Picos with El Patio?...you must have really had a bad visit at those....can't even imagine comparing them.

Nonetheless, both Taste of Texas and Picos are on just about every top 10 list since 2005 for steaks or Mexican Food....visited both in the past month and both were terrific, Picos was exceptional. In fact, had someone with me from the Harrah's school in Las Vegas at the time who said it was the best Mexican restaurant she had ever been to.

And of course, Americas and Churasscos have the same owner....both are terrific.

C'est la vie.

San Marcos Good Eats?

not sure about "rip roarin"...but here are some good choices in San Marcos...all have websites

Palmers...San Marcos River Pub...Los Cucos...Mamacitas

For BBQ...Salt Lick in Driftwood isn't TOO far away...30min or so, but it's easy to get lost finding it....bring your GPS.

2 days in Houston: Seeking Best steak and Mexican Food

lots of choices for both steaks and Mexican Food.

If you're a "tourist" to Houston or Texas...then go to Taste of Texas for steaks and go to El Tiempo for Mexican food

If NOT a tourist....then go to Churasscos for steak and for Mexican go to Picos (don't worry about the neighborhood, it's OK).

Am sure you'll get lots of other good suggestions, but you won't be disappointed with any of these.
