Mexican food gets an upscale makeover at Houston’s Caracol. The restaurant near 7 Seventy features seafood with Mexican cuisine influences apparent in every single dish, from starters to entrees.
To kick off your meal, order the empanadas de saragalla, which are fiery fish turnovers served with cilantro cream, or the ceviche de Caracol, which showcases conch, ginger, pineapple, and red jalapeno. For the main course, move on to larger dishes like butter-flied and wood-grilled snapper, sauteed shrimp doused with spicy morita pepper sauce and served over white rice, or bone-in short rib smothered with roasted tomato salsa and cocoa nibs. They’re all available to pair with artisanal cocktails such as the seasonal fruit mojito or the Paloma, which consists of tequila, lime, and grapefruit soda.
