Don Carlos Mexican Restaurant - Don Carlos - Meyerland

This small Houston-based chain not only does a good job hitting all the Tex-Mex classics, they have a separate “Authentics” menu sporting Mexican dishes such as agujas (beef short ribs) and tripitas (tripe). Regulars swear by the fajitas and burritos. Pair whatever you’re having with a refreshing horchata, just make sure not to fill up on the free queso that is served with the pre-meal chips and salsa.
