Katy area eats

[captainsling]

A little more upscale, but Pearl and Vine is one of the best restaurants in Katy. Awesome ambiance, solid bar, and excellent food. Probably my favorite place to eat in all of Katy. DaVinci’s being a close second.

You are correct, but P&V is for special occasions for us due to price. We went during restaurant weeks and still spent over $150 for 2 of us. Food is amazing.

Couple of our favorites.

Both of y’all bring your wallet. We live across the lake from there. My neighbors would walk there and slam a couple bottles of wine occasionally. As for me I’d rather save the Pearl and Vine money and buy deer corn!

I just looked at the menu for Los Cucos. I think it’s a no-brainer

Don’t get the fajitas. They are full of fat and plain nasty.

Is it one of those places that the items on the menu look really good but, the food is average at best?

We are looking for a good pre-game meal that includes chips, queso, and a margarita or 2.

Thanks again for all the replies!

Tried a new place this weekend. The Cookshack. It's on Mason a couple of block south of I10. If you like hot stuff try their chicken tenders with the Texas Heat sauce. Good stuff.

The Cookshack is legit. I've been to the new one is Spring several times. Ribs aren't great but the fried chicken is top notch.

Go for Gringos. The food is great. I moved to Katy in 1982 and while Cucos is good, in my opinion, they can’t compete with Gringos.

I may take my boy there today after he gets off work

I’ve had Gringos before. If Cucos doesn’t compare to that then Gringo’s it is.

I’ll I can say is when Gringos showed up we dropped Cucos completely.

Lupe Tortilla
Alicia’s
Gringo’s

In that order. In my opinion Cuco’s gets too much love for mediocre food.

Los Cucos is legit, don’t mind him. Los Cucos fajitas are also legit.

Look at his reccs, all big chain joints, some not so good at that.

Los Cucos, El Jarrito, Lupe's, or Ray's if you want Tex-mex (my favorite is El Jarrito). I also recommend Fusion Grill down Mason Rd. just north of Highland Knolls. They have some FANTASTIC food.

I'll agree with Ray's for Tex-Mex. I'll pick them over Cucos any day. If you're looking for a spicer salsa, ask for the jalapeno green sauce and their enchiladas on flour tortillas are what dreams are made of.

Have any of you Katy folks tried Mac”s Chicken?
