By Dorothy Olson


One great thing about the south is the variety of cuisine available. Being so close to the gulf, whether resident or visitor, Mexican Food Houston TX is often a popular choice for those wishing to dine out. When looking for some of the best gulf coast seafood and Mexican seafood available, Galveston is only a short drive south of the city.

Whether perusing the historic Houston Heights, attending an art opening in the Warehouse District, going to a local book or magic store in the Montrose or hanging downtown for a free concert, there is no shortage of great restaurants in the area. For example, the Warehouse District is home to Last Concert Cafe, a rather historic Mexican restaurant, building and venue. While having won a number awards for having the best Mexican cuisine in the city, the restaurant also host live music most nights of the week.

The menu offers a variety of traditional Tex-Mex and Mexican food along with other options. The owner and proprietor also hosts local bands, some which have played every Thursday for over 28 years. In addition, there a number of special events held each and every year. Some of these include an annual Watermelon Festival, New Year's Eve and Halloween celebrations.

One band, The Hightailers, played every Thursday for over twenty eight years. With the restaurant and music venue being so popular, there are other bands and musicians which continue to fill the time slot on a regular basis. Whereas, there are local and touring acts gracing either the indoor or outdoor stage on a daily or weekly basis.

Whereas, another local band Potroast has just celebrated a 20th year anniversary. While the Hightailers crowd was much more of a hippie crowd, Potroast seems to draw more college age fans. While those playing on other nights tend to change more frequently, the owner and management staff have always been open to those wishing to play a residency given the right opportunity.

Located in the newly developed Warehouse District, just East of downtown, the building has a history all its own. For, in the 1920s, the building played host to a brothel which was frequented by a local judge who lived in the neighborhood. To assure discretion, the business required patrons to knock on the red door before gaining entry. In order to keep a small piece of history alive, the current owner requires patrons to do so before gaining entry by an employee, doorman or other employees.

Beyond the entertainment, the restaurant continues to serve outstanding Mexican food with a number of American options. While traditional in style, several dishes are named after past and present employees who created the dish by adding a few extra elements. While originally only serving beer and wine, the bar now has a liquor license and offers a full bar with a number of local microbrews and name brand liquors.

When bellying up to the bar, individuals can either try a frozen sangria from a machine or one of the many amazing handmade cocktails by one of the bartenders. While there are a number of restaurants and bars in the area, the food, drink and entertainment at Last Concert is something that should not be overlooked.
