    The Alamo 2.0
    Mariel T.

    Got the Alamo - Minus cheese tortilla strips and bread Added corn carrot and almonds Delicious! Great lunch if you're working in the area.

    Solid taste for a "fast food" business in the hustle & bustle of the downtown tunnels, and even though the flavor started out great, it didn't end as well. Good taste for a protein bowl, but a bit too pricey for the flavor. Farros on the other end of the tunnels totally blows these guys out of the tunnels!

    Pollo Laredo salad with pumpkin seeds instead of tortilla chips.
    Dene M.

    My friend chose this establishment for an early birthday celebratory Iunch. We arrived right around 11am on a Wednesday and the line was decent. Here's my thoughts: 1) Service time: they work in an assembly line set up and have a small menu. This led to them being effective. (9/10) 2) Food: I wanted to try the steak salad so badly but they were out of steak and apparently wouldn't have any for the next couple of weeks. Sooo disappointed. I ended up having the Pollo Laredo salad and substituted the tortilla topping for pumpkin seeds. I asked for it to be heavily dressed with their jalapeno ranch. I added a scoop of feta cheese. MANNNNN their ingredients are fresh and so tasty. I enjoyed their guacamole, and overall options. I do low carb and there are ample options for everyone. My only critique points are: (a) They need a spice option. Fresh chopped jalapeños or serranos would elevate this salad to another level. (b) I got a lot of lettuce ends and just wished I could have the leaves not the stems but I understand. Maybe having an option for lettuce leaves and charging a little more would be okay. (c) I wish they would give a little more chicken. It was $35/ two salads and 1 can diet coke. I would go here again because of the freshness of the items and their house made dressings.

    MFH Veggie Boost

    Soooo summer snuck up on me and so did about 7 lbs In an effort to have a quick snap back by Memorial Weekend I have been eating nothing but healthy food all week. Options for takeout have been limited while on my diet, but Leaf & Grain definitely checked all the boxes for a guilt free, low carb, low calorie, high quality, satisfying lunch. This was my first time trying L&G. I studied the menu online first to prepare so I wouldn't feel intimidated and overwhelmed once I got in that long line. I typically pass by this place when I walk the tunnel and wonder why so many people would want to eat expensive bird food that doesn't smell too appetizing. Today -- I have discovered why! I opted for the m*tha f*kn veggie boost 2.0. Not sure if that's what the MF stands for but that mf was good! Only downside is the price. Be aware that a little extra can add on to the already high base price pretty quickly. I had to pay $1 extra for spinach and quinoa. Anyway, no biggie. Just worth mentioning. I got extra chipotle jalapeño dressing on the side to combine with the avocado lime dressing and it really added to the flavor. I also appreciated the delicious tiny slice of sourdough bread that came with it. Even with the bite of bread, I'll be hungry again in a couple hours. Sucks when you've just spent $12 on food but I know eating leaves and grains will have you summer fine in no time! Worth every dollar when you forget to meal prep.

This location is casual and has plenty of seating (tables, bar + outdoor seating). You order at the counter and typically wait around 20 minutes for the pizza to be ready.

I've only tried the Pepperoni Madness and Fancy Backpacker. The crust is perfectly thin and the toppings pair well together. I would also recommend adding pepperoni to the Fancy Backpacker. Gypsy Poet is always consistent with the taste and service, you can always expect a good experience in both aspects.

Similar but also different feels in the heights. Our group made a pickup order online and it was still a bit of a wait when we got there. (Place was packed though, lots of families out on a Saturday night so totally get it) The pizza here is always impressive and one of the better options in Houston imo (limited choices though haha), fresh ingredients like basil in every box is a good value add.. the hot honey on top is a must for me and complement pretty much all their pizzas. My friend ordered 4 kinds and also added an order a dessert pizza (Nutella) and it was dangerously good.. They also got a good selection of drinks from wine to brews to non-alcoholic options. They do have a small patio, seating is limited as previously mentioned. It's counter service; Parking lot is a bit tight and it's in the heights so definitely a caution. Overall, I'd say it's a good pizza joint but definitely need to factor in the wait, the parking and costs before you go.

I've tried their meals (although from their other locations) and enjoyed them, so maybe it was just what we ordered or this specific location? Service was quick, though. I ordered the Chimichurri Steak sandwich, which was okay but nothing super memorable in my opinion. My parents ordered the Seasonal GOAT with Summer Peaches salad, which was also just okay. My sister, however, ordered the Lemon Chicken and Farro soup, which was actually pretty yummy and is something I would definitely order for myself. In terms of parking, there's plenty of spots available throughout the MKT area, but you may need to park farther away to snag a spot. Overall, if you're in the mood for a healthier sandwich or salad option and are in the MKT area, this place is worth trying. Maybe I'll come back and try something new.

We went around 6 p.m. on a weekday, and they had a steady flow of business. It's a small restaurant with a small parking lot, but they do have an additional lot across the street. We were greeted right away and seated immediately. Our waiter was also tending the bar. He was incredibly friendly and working hard, but because he seemed to be juggling so much on his own, service was on the slower side. For the appetizer, we ordered the Crispy Fried Oysters & Brussels, and I got the redfish for my entrée. The Brussels sprouts were flash-fried perfectly, and I loved the sweetness of the chili honey glaze. The oysters had a nice crispy coating, but I found them to be a little bland. The redfish, though, was absolutely the star of the meal. I cleaned my plate. It was served with Hoppin' John and a lemon butter sauce. I had never heard of Hoppin' John before, but it's essentially a Southern rice-and-bean dish, and paired with that lemon butter, it was so flavorful. It complemented the fish perfectly.

I had heard great things about the cafe at this new location, and had even tried their former location on Hillcroft a couple years ago as part of TooGoodToGo. While the concept is casual, the restaurant itself is very polished and feels like an upscale cafe. There is plenty of seating indoors as well as a huge patio outdoors. We opted to sit on the patio on a (rare) nice Houston day. The tables were spacious and the patio seating was very comfortable. We ordered the Kofta Kabob and Chicken Kabob specialty platters. These platters come with your choice of two sides - we went for the Fried Cauliflower, Tabouli Salad, Hummus, and Muhammara. The meats were so good and hit the spot. The Kofta Kabob had a complexity of flavor to it; so many spices that blended together really well. I will say that the post-meal burps of these spices were...smellier than usual. The Chicken Kabob was also flavorful and had a nice smokiness to it from the grill. I liked the slight crunch provided by the char along the edges. If I knew how to make chicken like this, it would be my daily meal prep! The Fried Cauliflower had a nice sear to it with lots of flavor. The Tabouli Salad and Hummus were comparable to those I've had at other Mediterranean places. The Muhammara was my favorite of the sides! It is a dip like hummus but also incorporates tomatoes, red bell peppers, and onions, among other spices; there was so much flavor to it and I could snack on this all day. The included pita bread was large, fluffy, and piping hot - perfect for dipping between the two side dips we got. Service was quick and friendly. The employee taking our order behind the counter was friendly and gave us the recommendation for the Muhammara - great rec.
