Latuli
Katami for sushi

Latuli is a nice place, but their food just isn't that great.

We went 6 months ago and that was my take. I got a gift card and went back two weekends ago and thought it was much better. Still behind Credence, Relish, and Bar Bludorn, but I'll go again.

You don't like a steamy 82 degrees for a steamer? Close your eyes and you can envision you are laying cable right outside the Star of Hope as Astros fans head into Daiken on a nice September afternoon.

I think the 82 is humidity not temperature


False. It clearly says 82 F. Then 62% relative humidity.

Hot damn!! Use some of Angie's A/C to blow in the bathroom!

Captain Benny's on Main or GTFO!

You know the food is going to be good when you're the only white guy in there with all of your teeth!

People are always nice there. No reason to undersell it that way.

B/CS townie goes to the big city. Connie's on Airline or most Ostioneria Michoacan are just as good.

It's not an undersell. That's a compliment.

I work near Capt Tom's in Katy and we've gone for lunch a few times and were the only ones not drinking. Waiter/bartender asked us 4 times if we wanted beers (I did but w/ coworkers).

I'm not a regular there or anything, but whenever I've stopped, it's pretty much just been nice locals there. As in, older couples from the neighborhood who look like they've been going there since the days when my grandfather went there. And the service is super friendly. Just kinda feels like old Houston.

I love a good Captain Tom's michelada. So easy to make at home. Fresh lime juice, Cajun chef hot sauce, and beer.

I purposely keep a huge bottle of Cajun chef at home just to make them

I'll occasionally buy a pint of their mix to go for Bloody Marys.

They have free valet, is that where they're sticking cars? They, of course, kept my truck near the door.

They've been issued three criminal citations so far. They could have the best food in the world and it doesn't change the fact they are actively violating the law.

And it's like that all day and all night, even when they are closed. They spent thousands of dollars planting trees that predictably had zero effect.

I'm sure there aren't good answer to this but.....why is it so loud? Why wouldn't they spend money to fix the system vs trees and other pointless stuff.

That's always an option (which will not be discussed in a public forum like TA).

We've been engaged with Angie's since May. We began documenting the noise problem in written correspondence to them in June. We tried again and again to get them to address the problem and they did nothing. In July we engaged them asking for a meeting to present a proposal which would 100% solve the problem and offered to share the cost of the solution. They chose not to respond and again did nothing. In essence, once they opened for business they stopped caring about being a nuisance to their neighbors.

It was only after HPD started showing up that they began attempting to explore solutions. They made excuses to HPD about how it was going to cost them upwards of $100,000 to solve the issue (which is total BS). It's worth noting since HPD got involved, the HVAC noise has been consistently louder than it was before HPD got involved. If they had met with us in July and implemented our proposed solution, we'd be done with this and they wouldn't have three court dates.

We are in the market for a new "regular" mexican place in Houston. We've been regular at El Tiempo but the price is a tad high.

Is there anything decent that comes at a slightly lower price point? We typically go each Sunday for lunch and live in the Heights, for reference.

We tried Guadalajara on I10 near bunker hill recently and the beef fajitas were great. Service was slow but more margaritas!

I'd say Tony's but they aren't open on Sundays. Valencia's on 34th is pretty solid, other than they serve black beans instead of pintos.

Being in oak forest Valencia's and la viva are our go to's. They aren't great, aren't as good as el tiempo. But convenient, cheaper, and definitely geared for families and kids.

Depending on what you get, Alma Latina on Shepherd is great and might be a little cheaper. It's somewhere between the upper end and lower end Tex-Mex joints in the area.

Service is top notch.
