1. Los Dos Amigos

5720 Washington Ave (at Birdsall St), Houston, TX
Mexican Restaurant · 21 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Their cheese enchiladas weren't the #1 best dish in all of Houston (according to the Houston Press) for nothing. Dinner is only on the weekends. [Eater 38 Member]

2. Underbelly

1100 Westheimer Rd (Waugh Dr), Houston, TX
New American Restaurant · 94 tips and reviews

EaterEater: From its rigorous commitment to local ingredients to its all-star kitchen staff, there's nothing about Chris Shepherd's restaurant that doesn't embody "the soul of Houston food." [Eater 38 Member]

3. Pita Pit

7.7
11081 Westheimer Rd, Ste C (at Lakeside Estates Dr.), Houston, TX
Eastern European Restaurant · 46 tips and reviews

EaterEater: It's Bosnian food, it's good and it's comforting. Plus, it was on Diners Drive-ins and Dives and you know that makes it legit, right? [Eater 38 Member]

4. Oxheart Restaurant

1302 Nance St (Richey St.), Houston, TX
Molecular Gastronomy Restaurant · 27 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Whether one asks Alison Cook or Andrew Knowlton, Oxheart is Houston's best restaurant. [Eater 38 Member]

5. Crawfish & Noodles

8.4
11360 Bellaire Blvd Ste 990 (Belle Pk Dr), Houston, TX
