Location: Heights Blvd at White Oak in Heights section of Houston.
Type of Food: American
Summary: Today I went to Lola's for the second time in the last month. It is located at the corner of 11th Street and Yale in the Heights. I like the wide selection of food that you can order.
The first time I went to Lola's I tried the Waffles and Chicken which were totally mouthwatering and tasty. I am typically not a big fan of fried chicken and have to be in the mood, but you know what? I would eat Lola's fried chicken any day of the week. The waffles are topped with berries and whipped cream with a side of syrup and butter.
Today I tried the Day After Thanksgiving sandwich with a side salad with pecan vinaigrette. Sandwich was a bit of a disappointment. The cranberry sauce was more like the congealed sauce out of a can. The salad was more so a mix of different lettuces and no other vegetables. (I am a salad snob; I like salads that have a little of glitz and this salad had no glitz).
Final Thoughts: Although this experience was not great, there looks to be a bunch more items I need to try and I will be back.

"Fine Art + Food Trucks": Museum of Fine Arts Houston Food Trucks
I was one of those people introduced to food trucks in Houston close to 10 years ago. I used to buy tamales from a Tamale Truck in Clear Lake back when I lived in the area. I have always liked food trucks and I am so very excited that within walking distance from where I live I can go any day of the week and get food from one.
The trucks are parked in the parking lot next to the main entrance of Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden every day 11am to 3pm. To see the schedule of food trucks, visit the MFAH website at http://www.mfah.org/visit/fine-art-food-trucks/ .

Maria Selma
Location: Richmond Blvd. near Mandell intersection in Houston
Type of Food: Mexican
Summary: Yesterday, I went for the second time to Maria Selma for dinner. The first time that I went to Maria Selma and I tried Fajitas for two and a few margarita. The fajitas were okay, but not nearly as good as some of the fajitas that I have eaten at other places. Yesterday I had the enchilada verdes with chicken and they were amazing. They were made in a way that I could taste the corn tortillas along with have an amazing cheese on top that would be more like what I would find in Mexico. From now on, I will be trying the enchiladas which are a big enough portion to share between two people.
Final Thoughts: I will come back to this place. I like that I can get food here that would be more like what I would have in Mexico.
If you want to try out Maria Selma, stop by its location on Richmond near Mandel (1617 Richmond, Houston, TX 77006). The restaurant website is http://www.mariaselma.com/ .
