Best Spanish Restaurants in University of Houston

I love MAD. The environment is cool. The food is excellent. The staff is tremendous.

Great atmosphere and amazing food. Definitely a must go for you… yes you!

Arturo Boada is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth finding. We had ceviche, the red snapper and grilled vegetables. The ceviche was excellent, tender & not too tangy. It was served with light, crispy corn-flour chips that were good enough to eat by themselves. The red snapper was cooked to perfection. I used to do a lot of offshore fishing, and have caught & cooked many red snapper myself, and I find it often overcooked in restaurants. Not here. The fish was moist and shiny inside and absolutely delicious. As were the grilled vegetables. Dessert was a very interesting and unique take on creme brulée; delicious and delightful. And the prices were very reasonable. Definitely on my favorites list.

Costa Brava is always a delightful experience and last night was no exception. The food and service were exemplary. I was delighted to see old favorites like Pekin duck breast back on the menu, and particularly the enjoyed the new presentation of cochinillo. They also offered a special dessert of poached pears with goat milk ice cream that I hope earns a permanent place on the menu. This restaurant is like an old friend that just keeps getting better.

So happy that the restaurant is back! GOAT cheese could’ve been roasted a bit longer but still just as delicious.
