    @Eggdicted_Dawgfan @caliking We ended up going to Pinkertons.  It was really really good.  Trying to decide where to go when we are there for Thanksgiving.

    Depends on where you will be staying and how far you want to drive.    Corkscrew out in Spring is really good.  Killen's in Pearland is really good (not a fan of their sauce though, if you're into sauce).    Truth is closer to town (or the original Truth out in Brenham).

    I can vouch for Truth. It should definitely be on your radar @Hook_emHornsfan_74. 

    Can also vouch for Blood Bros. , especially if you're keen on kicked up sides.

    If you're feeling frisky in the Heights and want something other than BBQ try King's Beirgarten.    Man I like that place, great German food/beer/good times.

    In Houston today, was hoping to try Truth BBQ but couldn’t get there before the 5pm closing. Instead went back to Pinkerton’s. 2nd time there. Unreal. Brisket and ribs are just amazing. I’m going to skip the sides next time in lieu of another meat. Couple pics-




    Also went to a place called Titas taco house in humble. Sorry no pics. Hole in the wall type place. Authentic. I had 3 tacos, I couldn’t understand what kind each one was but they were all 3 amazing. Fresh rolled tortillas. Worth a stop if you are in the area and want a quick authentic taco. 
    Excellent…
    Travel Safe!
    Thank you,

    If you make it back to these parts, I hear Fege's is good. Also, The Pit Room near Montrose. I hear their tortillas are made in-house.

    I’ve tried the pit room and it was quite good. I’ll put Feges on the list as well. Thanks for the rec. So many restaurants in Houston. Nice to be able to get the locals opinion.

    From Humble you weren’t too far from Corkscrew BBQ in Spring.   It’s a good one.

    Haha. I do believe I was the only one in there that didn’t speak Spanish, as a first language. That’s when I knew I was in the right spot for tacos.

    @TechsasJim I’ll be back in July for 2-3 weeks so I’m looking forward to trying some of these other recommendations. I’ll report back when I do. Thanks again!

    Might be heading to Houston next weekend.  We love Pinkertons.  Love Houston and all of the dining options.

    Yes sir, almost too many options if there is such a thing.   I can't remember where your family here lives but if you end up in Eado (East Downtown) try Brothers Tacos.    Life changing...but there is usually a wait.

    I’ll give that a try for sure. I don’t mind waiting in line for life changing tacos.  No family in Houston unfortunately. Working on a project at the water treatment plant in humble.

    lol no worries.  I think the daughter is taking us to Potente if we end up going.  Other than that I don’t think we have a schedule.  One of our favorite places is Cultivar.  But again. There are so many great places in Houston.
