Houston’s Weekend Food Scene: From Ceviche to Burnt Ends
Hey there, Houston expats and digital nomads! I’m Jared Norwood, an American living in Houston since 2021. I’ve been noticing some tasty trends in the city’s food scene lately, and I thought I’d share them with you.

Recently, the Houston Press highlighted some must-try weekend eats, from fresh ceviche to rich burnt ends. If you’re here for the weekend, or just want to explore some new culinary spots, this post is for you.
Here are a few spots you might want to check out:
- Ceviche: If you’re craving something fresh and new, head over to Ceviche Co. They serve up some of the best ceviche in town, with a variety of flavors to choose from.
- Burnt Ends: For a classic BBQ experience, Maverick Smokehouse is hard to beat. Their burnt ends are fall-off-the-bone delicious, and they serve it with all the fixings you could want.
- Other Delights: Don’t miss out on The Hot Spot for some amazing fried chicken, or El Camion for some lively Mexican street food.
These places are just a taste of what Houston has to offer. The city’s food scene is constantly evolving, and there’s always something new to discover. Whether you’re a long-time resident or just visiting, these spots are worth a visit for a memorable dining experience.
