Iconic upscale Mexican restaurant. Amazing decor. Great food and great margaritas. Happy Hour Mon-Thursday starting at 5:00. Food is upscale central Mexican - not TexMex. It's a lot pricier than TexMex so be warned. They have a great Sunday Brunch.

Great Fried Chicken, sides, and cheap drinks. It is Nashville Hot style but you can choose one of 5 levels of spice, including Wimpy if you don't like heat. I go for Hot or Mo' Hot (level 2 and 3).

Essentials

HEB is Texas' favorite home-grown Grocery chain. Good selection at great prices. Their flagship store, Central Market is close by as well. It is more "Whole Foods" like if that's what you are looking for. Of course Whole Foods is about 15 minutes away if you want to check out their flagship store at their corporate headquarters.

HEB's Flagship store with great produce, meats, cheeses, and specialty items. It's worth checking out and is about a 10 minute drive. A more impressive produce department than Whole Foods!
