FIRST TIJUANA-STYLE TACOS IN HOUSTON 🌮🔥 If you’re on the hunt for bold, juicy tacos with handmade tortillas, you need to hit up @tacos.frontera! With two locations (their newest location in Katy) and lines that speak for themselves, this spot has quickly become a go-to for Houstonians—and for good reason! They’re known for their Tijuana-style tacos, with their handmade tortillas, carne asada, fresh salsa, fresh guacamole, onions, and cilantro, but the menu goes way beyond that. You can also get mulitas, vampiros, tortas, quesadillas, and burritos, with new menu items coming soon! We especially loved the carne asada—it was tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. 👌 Plus, you can wash it all down with one of their refreshing agua frescas, margaritas, micheladas, or beers. 🍹 📍: Tacos Frontera (4805 Hwy 6 N & 1230 N Mason Rd) #tacos #mexicanfood #houstontexas #htx #houstonfood

ICONIC MANGO DESSERT SHOP IN HOUSTON 🥭 Everyone’s favorite mango-centric dessert shop, @HuiLauShan Houston, is celebrating 2 years in Houston!

So here are some of our go-to orders: 🥭 Mango & Coconut Juice with Crystal Jelly 🍉 Aloe & Aloe Jelly in Watermelon Juice 🥥 Coconut Jelly with Mango or Watermelon 🍡 Mango Mochi 🟡 Mango Chewy Ball (a classic!) 📣 They’ve also launched a new bubble egg waffle topped with mango ice cream, crystal boba, and fresh mango—plus a comforting black sesame porridge! #mangos #htx #houstontexas #houstonfood

FRESH BAKED CROISSANTS, PASTRIES, PANINIS, PIZZAS, AND VENEZUELAN BREADS IN OLD KATY 🥐 Are you obsessed with fresh bread like we are? If so, @Pan Pa’ Venezuela needs to be on your radar! You can find Guava Rolls, Cachitos (ham & cheese filled rolls), and incredibly moist Panettone here. 🤤 Venezuelan goods are their specialty, but they fuse international flavors, like in their heavenly Dubai Chocolate Croissants. Fresh bread and pastries are baked throughout the day, and they even make fresh pizza to order. 🍕 Their head baker, David, is from Venezuela and opened @panpavzla 7 years ago. Ever since, they've become a beloved community staple! P.S. If the shop is a drive for you, we highly recommend visiting the many antique shops around and making a day of it! 🗝️ #bakery #katytx #katytexas #houstonfood #htx #houstontexas

WHERE TO GET DELICIOUS BREAKFAST TACOS 🌮🔥 We finally made it to @Tio Trompo for breakfast tacos and… WOW. So good, we’re already planning our next trip back to try the rest of the menu.

NEW PADEL & PICKLEBALL CLUB IN HOUSTON 🎾 We had such a fun time trying Padel for the first time at @tempopadelclub, Houston's first and largest open club blending Padel and Pickleball! It was our first time playing, and the instructor was super helpful and patient—which made it way less intimidating and way more fun. The space is beautiful with 4 Padel courts, 4 Pickleball courts, and it’s open to all skill levels (yes, even beginners like us!). They’ve also got a cold plunge and sauna for post-game recovery, plus a lounge and bar that’s perfect for hanging out afterward! Whether you’re into friendly matches or just looking for a new way to stay active, definitely check out Tempo—they’re incredibly welcoming and community-focused! P.S.

NEW VIRAL SATISFYING EARWAX REMOVAL CLINIC IN HOUSTON 👂 Y’all… if you’ve ever found yourself deep in the rabbit hole of oddly satisfying earwax removal videos, this one’s for you! Otoset just opened their newest clinic in Houston, and of course, we had to try it for ourselves. SafKan Health and the OtoSet device were founded by two mechanical engineer brothers—one of whom struggled with earwax buildup as a kid. Their device gently irrigates your ears with warm water while using suction to clear everything out. The treatment was quick, super simple, and SO satisfying! Our ears felt squeaky clean afterward—we could practically hear colors! 🌈 If you’ve never had your ears professionally cleaned, we highly recommend checking out Otoset. Think of it like a dentist visit… but for your ears (and way more relaxing)! #earwaxremoval #earwax #houstontexas #htx

Whether you’re team sweet or savory, they deliver! They’ve got tons of bagel and cream cheese options, including fun flavors like Banana Pudding, Cake Batter, and Cannoli! We’re obsessed with the Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel with Chive & Onion Cream Cheese, and the Cinnamon Sugar Bagel with Fresh Strawberry Cream Cheese. 🍓 Feeling adventurous? Ask for the “Bagel of the Day”—ours was the Tomato Grilled Cheese! 🧀 P.S. We took a dozen home, and they toast up perfectly. 🤌 Plus, if you need your caffeine fix, they’ve got you covered with classic coffee options and unique flavors like Banana Bread Oat Milk Cold Brew. ☕️ #bagels #houstonfood #htx #houstontexas
