 Though still a hot-spot for Houston’s hippest, Hugo’s has settled into its stride as one of the city’s best restaurants. Chef Hugo Ortega, also co-owner of Backstreet Café, prepares the dishes from his homeland. Milder and certainly more upscale than Tex-Mex standards, regional favorites include squash blossom soup, pork carnitas, snapper Veracruzana and four varieties of ceviche. We recommend the blue masa gorditas and the “red” mole sauce over tender roasted duck. Fine details --- such as a thoughtful wine list designed for Mexican food and standout margaritas --- put Hugo’s in a class all by itself. Don’t miss the chocolate flan or real Mexican hot chocolate made from cocoa beans ground on site. Soaring ceilings, wall-to-wall windows and chic Mexican décor complement the food. Hugo’s also offers one of the top Sunday brunch deals in town with Latin music from Viento and a buffet of Mexican delights that may include slow-roasted goat meat, stuffed peppers and an entire table devoted to desserts.
