Two of Houston’s most handsome areas nestle shoulder-to-shoulder near the classic Rice University and museum district: Rice Village, a local hotspot with a charming college town feel, and the adjacent West U, a stunning, oak-lined residential neighborhood that does the south proud. Vibrant and verdant, the walkable locale bustles with young families, hip professionals and academics, giving way to an eclectic and constantly-evolving mix of bars, boutiques, foodie fare and other gems.

If you’re looking for some damn good tacos (and who isn’t, always?), Torchy’s is your spot. But prepare your tastebuds for some suspense. What began as a food trailer in Austin has quickly become one of the most popular Rice Village restaurants, often with a line into the parking lot. With names like “The Republican” and “The Dirty Sanchez” – words you don’t hear too often in the same sentence – this fiery taco joint boasts a taco for every appetite and hosts creative monthly specials, featuring experimental flavor combos, regionally sourced ingredients, and award-winning salsa.
