Hugo's

Top choice in Houston


Chef Hugo Ortega elevates regional Mexican cooking and street food to high art in this much-celebrated Montrose bodega. Many menu items may seem familiar, but these well-spiced meats and Oaxacan-style dishes are much closer to Mexico than Tex-Mex. Book ahead.

Don't miss Sunday’s outstanding brunch buffet, on the alluring patio (10am to 2:30pm).
