The restaurant business has been ridiculously tough since the pandemic. 

 

Sads. I had some really good lunches there. Carne asada and cheese enchilada, fresh made corn tortillas. Tamale stand in the parking lot was nice during the Holidays. 

I haven’t loved their prices recently, but I’ll give it one more run for old times sake.

This is terrible news.  I discovered and started regularly eating at Pico's within a few months of their original opening on Bellaire Blvd.  Fajitas, Chilorio, chiles in nogada, soft shell crabs, shaker margaritas....   I have no idea who can replace them on my rotation.  [Xalisco would be the clear choice if they were not in the Woodlands.]. The only people I know happy about this are my internist and cardiologist.

Mayahuel in Autry Park is new and interesting: https://www.mayahuelrestaurant.com/

Renonwed pastry chef and chocolate guy doing a family style mexican concept with a finer dining twist. Not high/fine dining but definitely trying to do more than the base case.

The menu was above average and the location was really cool. The service was mid.

Crowd favorites was the carne asada and beef cheek with the homemade tortillas and the shrip and beef cheek tacos. The cochinata I would not order again and the sea bass you could get anywhere. The apps outside of the pan y butter or whatever were forgetabble. I think I got some ahi tostado stack and some raw salmon something or another.

The desserts as you can imagine were the best part-- the vanilla and coffee were my favorite.

Good value and pricing here though. I wasn't particularly paying attention to costs and what I would have assumed/guessed felt like a $600 meal (with drinks) actually came back closer to $400.

3.5/5

Edit to add: looks like the just opened on July 18th so probably still working out a lot of the kinks.
