Taco Time

While the holidays seem to be all about splurging on upscale dining, Katharine Shilcutt takes us back to what Houstonians know best: immoderate taco consumption. In this post she highlights "atypical" tacos, and lists Pistolero's among her top five: "While I despaired to see Nabi—and its talented chef, Ji Kang—depart after only a year in Montrose, the Lower Westheimer spot couldn't have nabbed a better replacement than Pistolero's. As with its predecessor, Pistolero's specializes in taking a familiar cuisine (Tex-Mex, in this case) and tweaking it until achieving a menu all its own." [Gastronaust]
