Casa Elena Mexican Restaurante, Houston

A Tex-Mex original, this restaurant combines modern design with tradition. White half columns connected with brass railings are adorned with ivy overflowing from clay pots. Curtained windows let in just enough light to keep the plants happy. Menu choices include Mexican dishes from both Texas and Mexico, with a flair for a combination of the two. Fajita Steak Tampiqueno, Pico de Gallo Rice and Camarones del Rey are but a few of the delights available to the lover of hot and spicy border food. Seafood "Casa Elena style" invites guests to taste shrimp and snapper cooked with jalapenos, poblano peppers or Monterrey cheese for an inventive salt-water treat.
