Argentinean restaurant Pampa Grill also functions as a grocery store and gathering spot for Houston’s small but tightly knit Argentine community. The place specializes in parrilladas, sizzling griddles piled high with everything from short ribs and flank steak to sweetbreads and blood sausage—all the South American favorites, and in quantities large enough to feed a whole family at once. The menu also features classic dishes such as milanesas and ravioles (thanks to the strong German and Italian influences in Argentina), and the place is BYOB, encouraging guests to stay and linger—which you’ll definitely want to do, thanks to the homey, warm atmosphere and friendly service.
