The pink stucco original location Houstonians remember off I-10 close to 610 may be long gone, but diners yearning for the old days will feel right at home in the new, just as impressive Katy location. Specializing in regional Mexican food since 1980, Las Alamedas continues to be a destination for out-of-town guests. Lunch specials are a steal at right around $10, while the carnitas Michoacan and cochinita pibil off the regular menu are fairly priced. When the weather is right, the expansive patio makes for a pleasant al fresco brunch.
