We ate at the El Real Tex Mex restaurant, which was housed in an old theater building. They had a pretty sweet marquee.

El Real Tex Mex looks ten kinds of cool. What a great reuse of a movie theater. Houston has a good track record of finding new ways to use single screen theaters. The old Alabama Theater was a bookstore for many years and now houses the first Trader Joe's in the Houston area.
JBB, it really is a cool place. It's in a hip part of town - Westheimer and Montrose - the food is good, and they actually had a huge screen up showing a western movie while we ate.
