Finding the perfect restaurant can take time and a lot of trial and error. Unfortunately, when choosing dining options, we often select with our sense of sight instead of our sense of smell. While not pretty, often restaurants that are considered a hole in the wall can be some of the best local dining in the area. Whether you live in or outside of the Houston area, make sure to check out these six hole-in-the-wall places to try some of the best food in the city.

Last Concert Cafe

The sign on the door of this colorful establishment says “Knock Loud and Wait,” and it is definitely worth the wait. The Mexican cuisine will tantalize your taste buds, and you can also enjoy local live entertainment many nights of the week. The restaurant offers a brunch, lunch, and dinner menu to satisfy Mexican food lovers during all hours of the day.

Stanton’s City Bites

If you are looking for some mouthwatering burgers, Stanton’s City Bites is a must on your list of culinary stops. Not only are their burgers described as juicy and delicious, but available at unbeatable prices. Reviewers recommend such options as the Miss Piggie and the chili cheese tater tots. While parking may be a little tight, the food, service, and ambiance are worth the effort.

Asia Market Thai Lao Food

For those who love Asian cuisine, stop into the Asia Market Thai Lao Food. While the exterior and interior may be more basic than impressive, the food is absolutely to die for. Some of the most popular dishes are the curry choices, which have the perfect balance of flavors and a fantastic texture.

Little Matt’s

The gray outer exterior may seem less than inviting, but Little Matt’s is an excellent place for food, fun, and family. The comfort food menu has an expansive kid menu as well, and the design of the inside of the restaurant makes it a great place for the kids. The inner wall has multiple iPads and chairs for keeping your children occupied while you place your order, and the family-style picnic seating, candy store, and arcade make it the perfect family dining option.

Casa Imperial

Casa Imperial is known around the Houston area for its friendly staff and tasty offerings. Whether you are in the mood for authentic Mexican fare or want to enjoy a southern rack of ribs, you can find what you are looking for at Casa Imperial. If you are looking for an evening with more entertainment, you can stop by on nights when they have live music offerings.

Southern Komfort Kitchen

You can find all manner of southern cuisine on their menu from chicken-fried steak to fried chicken liver and gizzards, all sold for a reasonable price. Want your food to go?
