Taqueria Arandas John ordered the Pasole. He thought it was very good. I ordered a shrimp torta. I asked the waitress if the shrimp was grilled. She said yes. There were not grilled. I don't think she spoke enough English to really understand. I was disappointed in my order. I think I was probably wanting a shrimp po-boy at a Mexican food restaurant. We will probably go back another day. I just need to order better.

Tortuga Coastal Cantina

This is one of our favorite places to eat. The two restaurants nearest us closed down. I was afraid that the whole chain had closed. I was delighted to discover this one on Hwy 6 in Sugar Land. It is located next to a watery area. I'm not sure if it is man made or a bayou. Whatever it is makes a nice setting. We sat back in a little gazebo next to the water and watched some birds and fed the ducks.

The best item on the menu is the crusted chicken. It is fantastic. And their Spanish rice is so flavorful. I was so happy to find this place again. I guess we will have to return again to Sugar Land and the Turtle.

delicious food. We split an order of oyster poor boy and crawfish etouffe.
We were there early enough to order from the lunch menu. The etouffe was so good we ordered another to go.
