Fun taco chain in Texas. Try the "trailer park taco" and get it "trashy" with no salad, and add queso, or get it "hillbilly style" which is trashy plus bacon and chorizo.

Lovely coffee shop two blocks away. This coffee shop has a mission to see sex trafficking end in Houston bringing both awareness to Houstonians, as well as contributing towards a much needed cause.
