I didn’t make it through this whole thread, so it may have been mentioned but:

La Salvadoreña, off Nicholson near campus, is amazing. Authentic Salvadoran cuisine and it’s so cheap and delicious. Everything is like $2.50.

The Brussels Sprouts at Beausoleil are the best I’ve ever had

The Sandwiches and sugar cookies from Chicken Salad Chick

Kabobs on George Oneil has Sampler (Meza) Platter for 2 ($28) and 3 ($38) has a huge variety of great food and more realistically feeds 4 and 6, respectively.

NY Pizza and Pasta on Jones Creek has great mussel and seafood stuffed ravioli dishes in addition to excellent pizza.

If you go to Ahua’s on Jones Creek ask for the genuine Mexican dish menu, it is printed in Spanish (has pics).

Jasmine’s on the Bayou rocket shrimp (and most of their food) is legit.

Tried this recently and totally agree. That red gravy that comes with it is amazing.

The ravioli with vodka sauce at La Contea is great.


This and their chicken parm are damn good. Love the sauce at that place.
