My aunt lives in Houston and I happened to be visiting her during restaurant week so our first stop after landed was to go to Xochi for lunch. It was my first time and it was an awesome experiance! I have gluten and dairy restrictions and the waiter was so accommodating. I ordered the Ensalada De Sandia and the Tacos de Pato and they were both incredible! My aunt sister and I split the tiramisu and it was fantastic. For my drink I went with the Roasted Fruit Mojito which was a 10/10.

I recently visited Pappadeaux’s in downtown Houston with high expectations, especially given my dietary restrictions (gluten-free). As a seafood restaurant, I anticipated a variety of options, but was disappointed to find only a small menu available for gluten-free diners. I chose the trout with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach, while my wife ordered roasted oysters, as they didn’t have Oysters Rockefeller. I was surprised that a seafood place didn’t offer Oysters Rockefeller—it's such a classic dish. The service, however, was outstanding. The management and our server went above and beyond to ensure my dietary needs were accommodated, and I truly appreciated their efforts. Unfortunately, the food arrived lukewarm, which led to us sending it back for reheating. After traveling all the way from Alabama to try Pappadeaux’s, I felt let down by the overall experience. While the service was top-notch (a solid 10 for effort), the food didn’t meet expectations, so I’d rate it a 5 due to my dietary limitations. Overall, I’d give the experience a 6. Would I return? I’m not sure.
