On Wednesday, Governor Greg Abbott issued a waiver allowing restaurants to deliver alcoholic beverages with food purchases.

The governor also directed the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) to waive certain provisions to allow manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers of alcoholic beverages to repurchase or sell back unopened products.

they would need to sweeten the deal more for me to eat there. Their food is borderline inedible and last time my parents were there they got offered a $20 gift card after a mouse was crawling around under their table.

No way, Tony's isn't that bad

It really is though. Especially in a city with as much good Tex Mex as we have.
It is cheap and the margs are good but that doesn't make up for the subpar food

Had a boozy quart of tonys frozen margs and queso and guac delivered to the house for a little happy hour quarantine style... hit the spot!

What's better in this part of town?

in that exact part of town, nothing comes to mind. But Teotihuacan isn't that far away.

Tonys isn't bad. Cheese enchiladas and a big ass margarita for the win.

Yes, el Tiempo is better. teos is good but overpriced.

I used to absolutely hate hate hate Tony's. Only went cuz the wife and her friends like it and for their margaritas. But about 2 years ago, I heard they got a new chef and improved their ingredients. I actually really like the food now.

Was hoping to see a growler fills of ranch water on there.

OK, this morning I have a different email for Brickhouse Tavern deal. 10% off all curbside orders for a limited time.

No other info and not sure if that means the other deal is off. Maybe it is to get the people who are only ordering for 1 person and can't make the $30 limit?

And can we keep this thread from being derailed by a like or don't like the food from whatever restaurant?

I think that is a fair ask so long as everyone acknowledges that the best food comes from my backyard.

It just wouldn't be a food-related thread on the Houston forum without that.

Saint Arnold put together a good running list broken down by neighbourhood of restaurants open for take out and delivery. When I get to a computer I will link it.

We go to La Hacienda around the corner from Tony's. Margaritas are not as good, IMO, but the food is better. My kids love it, so it is our go-to.

I, for one, like the food at Tony's. The enchiladas are gravy heavy and you kind of need them to be that way because of how hard the margs hit.

This may be the issue. I haven't been in at least 2 years so maybe it is better.

I'll try and refrain from derailing now.

Katy Whiskey Cake is doing similar deals every day. Wife just picked up this for $50:
2 marinated chickens
1lb marinated shrimp
1lb pulled pork
4 hamburger buns
1lb Kale Slaw
2 slices whiskey cake
1lb butter
BBQ sauce
15 eggs
1 gallon milk
Roll of TP

The City Ham Melt from One Fifth/UB Preserv might be best sandwich I've ever had. $12. Don't know if it's in any regular menu.

Seems they have a lot of excess butter to get rid of...guess it doesn't store well? Think a lb is like a 6 mos supply for me.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I guess that explains why restaurant food tastes so much better.

No kids? We go through a pound every week or so. Pancakes, waffles, biscuits, toast, oatmeal, "plain" noodles, mac n cheese, grilled cheese.

And it doesn't go bad. We always have a stick in the butter dish, un-refrigerated.

It's a key ingredient in bat soup as well.

I thought it was pangolin feces. That seems to be the recipe in Wuhan wet markets.

you need the butter to balance out those flavors

Used to be in my rotation when they had $3 margaritas M-W. Then they decided to price themselves too close to El Tiempo.

Maison Pucha in the Heights is one of my favorite spots. They are doing some great deals on take out (including wine) and if you spend $80 you get $20 gift card.

I live near W Grill, which I believe is only margs and drinks to go now. They've gotten more business the last two days than all year, I'm convinced of it
