A Taco Sensation Takes Over Houston This Weekend
Food enthusiasts in Houston, get ready to elevate your dining experience! This weekend, James Beard Award-winning chef Ana Liz Pulido will showcase her culinary prowess with a taco pop-up at Third Place, located within the stylish Heights restaurant, Jūn. Pulido, the heart and soul behind Ana Liz Taqueria in Mission, TX, is known for her exceptional taco craftsmanship, earning the prestigious James Beard Award for Best Chef: Texas in 2024.
A Culinary Journey Through Tortillas and Flavors
Who better to satisfy your taco cravings than a chef ranked number one in the state of Texas by Texas Monthly? With a menu that features her special nixtamalized corn and handmade flour tortillas, Pulido aims to offer a mouth-watering glimpse into the rich tapestry of Mexican cuisine. Expect vibrant dishes like Tlacoyo de Barbacoa Estilo Cerro Azul, Tacos Subes Surtidos, and Tetela de Pipian that tell stories of heritage and flavor.
Pulido’s journey to Houston has been a charming one. She met Jūn’s chef and co-owner, Evelyn Garcia, after attending the Texas Monthly Taco Fest. The camaraderie blossomed from shared interests and mutual friends, leading to this exciting culinary collaboration. “I’m so excited to be at Third Place and in Houston this weekend,” Pulido expressed warmly. “I love what chefs Evelyn and Henry are building. It’s an honor to showcase my roots here.”
