Photo recap: Pre-Opening Event at Ritual Restaurant

August 7, 2016 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

Food from "Photo recap: pre-opening event at Ritual restaurant" at hispanichouston.com

I eat out a lot. And I do mean a lot. I’ve estimated that at least 30%-50% of my meals are eaten out of the house on an average week. Some weeks it’s more than that. As a result, I get to know a lot of the restaurants in Houston and the surrounding areas and […]

The new Taco Bell will include alcohol

September 23, 2015 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever watched “Demolition Man” then you’re familiar with this statement: “Taco Bell was the only restaurant to survive the franchise wars. Now all restaurants are Taco Bell.” A funny as it was, more than 20 years ago, we actually are in a sort of franchise war. The fast food restaurants are scrambling for market […]

Houstonians still eat out more than any other city in the country. According to the latest Zagat “The Best of Houston” poll, Houstonians eat out 4.8 times per week (for lunch and dinner).

El Pollo Loco healthy choices #ad

March 29, 2015 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. Just because you’re watching what you eat doesn’t mean that you have to stop eating out. In most cases, what you’re forced to do is be creative in how you order at restaurants. But these days many restaurants are offering a “light” menu that […]

My love affair with El Pollo Loco’s Cheesecake Chimichanga #ad

November 30, 2014 by Sandra Fernandez 2 Comments

This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. I am in love with the Cheesecake Chimichangas from El Pollo Loco. What’s not to love? It’s cheesecake and chocolate wrapped in a deep-fried flour tortilla, and covered in powdered sugar. Can you imagine anything better? Trust me, they’re ooey gooey deep-fried goodness. It’s […]
