My brother was back in our hometown of Houston a while back and was craving Gulf Coast seafood near IAH. We went to Jimmy G's and he was more than satisfied, not something available in the midwest.

thanks Lambowner. just informed its lent(wasn't thinking) so meat is out. but jimmyG's has that taken care of. i love the menu(was just in NOLA) so that should be just right. thanks to all

Unfortunately, near the airport (assuming IAH), you are stuck with the usual chains, and smaller neighborhood Mexican places. A couple of exceptions are upscale, but it seems like that's not what your after with your son. The link Lambowner sent is a good, recent reference.

Wow, these reply links are sending me to my own profile a lot. Anyway, here's a recent thread that might inform at least as to Tex-Mex...
