Popular Downtown taco shop was once a failed burger franchise

Each month, Chron taco columnist Marco Torres tells the story of Houston through Mexican food in “Tacos y Más.” The funny thing about life: There is no exact recipe for success. You may think your dreams and goals are within reach, but then the universe throws you a curveball. That’s exactly what happened to Humberto Martinez, owner of Space City Birria Tacos & More in Downtown Houston. Martinez grew up in the Southwest side of Houston, originally near Sharpstown and later in the Hiram Clarke ne…

It's pozole season, but menudo is still top dog in Houston - Chron

When I visited last month, I found tacos served on freshly made yellow corn tortillas, filled with flame-kissed adobada, carne asada, pollo, and baptized with a healthy dollop of guacamole. Tijuana is a Mexican border town in B…

Rapper Scarface performed surprise show at Houston bar - Chron

Rapper Scarface has a long and storied presence in Houston, ever since he started DJing for Lil’ Troy’s record label Short Stop and then joined the legendary rap group Geto Boys. It’s pretty rare to catch him doing a set at a small bar. But on Thursday night, that’s where I was, catching a surprise show from him at Downtown bar Off The Record. Back on Dec. 18, NPR posted Scarface’s Tiny Desk Concert on YouTube. It has been called one of the best Tiny Desk concerts of all time, fueled by the rapp…
