The November issue of Esquire features the Best New Restaurants in America and there's not any from Houston on the list. However, El Rey Taqueria (which specializes in casual Cuban/Mexican food) got a small shout out on the Esquire food blog, but it was totally meant for El Real Tex-Mex. J.C. Reid (aka @houston_foodie) pointed out the error. Here's what they said about El Rey (which isn't Tex-Mex and doesn't serve tacos al carbon), "The owners didn't want to upgrade Tex-Mex food; they just wanted to do it better than anyone in Houston. They succeeded. Best dish: tacos al carbon." UPDATE: It's been changed to "El Real" since the error was pointed out. [Esquire]
