Yeah I'm interested because I've lived in Houston for 4 years and can't find any pizza above average.
WTF?!?! Luigi's is amazing. I know they have locations on Alabama near midtown and Bissonet right on the inside of 610 on the west side.

A Mexican friend of my wife's heard we were going to Houston. She told us about this taco stand we HAD to try. Well, the place was in one of the wards, and believe me when I tell you, it was one of the scariest areas I've ever been to in my life. BUT DAMN that was a transcendently good taco.
Also ate at Underbelly once. Quality restaurant.

always said that Houston is loaded. It's got BBQ, Mexican, and Cajun all wrapped up into one city because of geographical location.
Except the Cajun food here overall sucks, and they have no idea how to properly boil crawfish. They dust the crap out of it and $$$$$
The new place in midtown makes a mean gumbo though. Holleys

yeah I don't know where he's getting this good Cajun food from. I didn't cook it for him and I certainly don't know of a decent Cajun place in town.
Don't get me started on Texas crawfish.......

Zydeco is pretty good. Not great or anything. Go for lunch a good bit

you're better off cooking the cajun on your own.
crawfish, ehhh i can see why the locals like it. it's a much different method than what the cajuns use. i see why the transplants hate it, though.
but in any event, doesn't deter htown from being the food city that it is.

zydecos downtown is good enough plate lunches for homesick southerners.

If you want plate lunches head to This Is It or Esther's.
Posted on 11/12/15 at 3:26 pm to TigerBait1127
most cajun food doesn't really translate well to restaurants
everyone that grew up in south la thinks they make the best gumbo, jambalaya, Étouffée, etc anyway
or their mama

You've been saying the same thing since 2008 bub. We get it, you hate everything Houston but do nothing to leave. Everyone else I've seen who moved here can offer something positive about their experience. You have to be miserable.

Good enough sure. Not exactly a great endorsement

I'm just trying to figure out if he enjoys anything about houston. 
prob not though...the takeaway for someone who's lived here for a few years about houston should be that traffic sucks, it takes a while to get anywhere, but the food (especially ethnic foods) were awesome.
