SKINNY RITA ’ S GRILLE
$$ Mexican , Latin American | 4002 N . Main St . 346.704.2852 | www . skinnyritasgrille . com
Outstanding find . The food was very fresh , with a bigger flavor profile than other Tex-Mex type restaurants . Examples include cactus flour tortillas which are sweeter and more flavorful than corn and flour , very tender fajitas that are marinated for additional flavor , grilled meats are served on a hot plate that is not burnt as at most places , refried beans with a much lower fat content .

FLO PARIS $$ Desserts , Cafes , Sandwiches 5407 Morningside Dr . | 346.980.6800 | www . floparisbakery . com The wifey ordered a nutella strawberry crepe and it was delicious . Fruit was fresh and it had the perfect balance of Nutella to strawberry to crepe to make it very appetizing . I had a warm sandwich but I can ' t recall the name . It consisted of ham , swiss cheese melted inside and I think it was a melted cheddar covering the top ... well , whatever it was , it was delicious . It came with a side of chips and a small salad that really completed the meal . The 4 seasons dessert is a great little sampler of what they have to offer that sweet tooth .

FOREIGN POLICY $$ Food Trucks , Korean , Greek 5555 San Felipe St . | 832.860.6667 We ate here on Saturday November 5 , 2016 . What a wonderful delight . I do not care for sandwiches , was I ever surprised . I had the chicken sandwich and , Oh my Gosh , step back , it is amazing . My sandwich was two of my boyfriend ' s hamburger from another truck and the same price . It is a monster . I had to ask him to cut it in half ; it is that big . But the sandwich has so much flavor , you have to try it to believe it .

M & M GRILL $ Mediterranean , Mexican , Burgers 6921 Almeda Rd . | 713.747.8226 | www . mmgrill . webs . com For months , months I ‘ ve been wanting to try this place . Everyone and their mom has been raving about this burger joint . When I finally sunk my teeth into this classic double burger , I understood what all the noise was about . This was one of the best burgers I ‘ ve had . Talk about a hole in the wall . This is it . The parking place is cramped and the outside isn ' t much prettier either . But in a way I respect those kind of places even more because you can be damn sure people don ' t come for the ambiance .

After all , it is unlimited !
