Additional Information

Though Cinco de Mayo gets all the glory, it’s not the only Mexican fare-oriented holiday in the month of May. Keep the celebrations going with another excuse to indulge in tortillas chips, tacos and the very necessary tequila to complement National Salsa Month. Continue your month-long south-of-the-border feast for less dinero with today’s deal of $30 worth of eats at La Mexicana for just $15.

Though Tex-Mex in Houston is about as common as traffic jams, the now 30-year-old La Mexicana blows other joints out of the water with authentic renditions of classic Mexican recipes. This colorful, cozy joint is most known for its Houston Press Best of Houston award-winning homemade tamales, which are nothing short of spectacular with generous sprinklings of pepper and chile powder, but the menudo is of equal caliber and even earned a spot on Katharine Shilcutt’s 2011 100 Favorite Dishes. La Mexicana also serves up breakfast all day alongside its fajitas, tacos and burritos and daily happy hour specials will help with cutting down drinking costs.
