The Non Tex-Mex Side of Houston

Tex-Mex cuisine in Houston is in every corner. In my search for the “best”, I had a bad case of option paralysis — given an extensive array of options, one is unable to pick one. This paralysis has led me towards a journey to the non Tex-Mex Houston, which actually is not only vast, but astonishingly diverse and verrrrry yummy.

This post is the first part of many series. I’ll be featuring my favorite restaurants, and since I have lived here close to eight years, the list is pretty long.

Harvest Organic Grille is located in 1810 Fountainview Drive, Houston. This little gem is tucked away at the edge of a strip mall in the Galleria area. It boasts of a slogan “Healthy doesn’t have to be boring!”. We start our meals with my husband having any of their power  juices, and me having a glass (or two!) of strawberry-basil sangria. The  complimentary bread comes with a trio of hummus, olive tapenade and spiced olive-oil dip.
