Birria, queso tacos, and a downtown kitchen that actually has a point of view.

Bocanegra's Kitchen

214 West Texas. Tacos first — birria, quesotacos, brisket and barbacoa on Taco Tuesday for $1.50. Ramen shows up on Wednesday as a special, not as the identity. Hot Cheetos quesadillas exist, which tells you who they cook for.

Downtown needed a place that was new without pretending to be Houston. This is it. Happy hour 2–4 most weekdays. Closed Sunday. If they still have consommé, stay.
