October's First Friday Meet & Eat is bringing the heat — and we wouldn't have it any other way! 🌶️

We're heading to the Stomping Grounds on 34th St to join Chamber Member La Mex for a lunch hour you won't forget. The fast-casual sister restaurant to Houston's iconic La Mexicana in Montrose, La Mex has been carrying on over four decades of family tradition — and every bite shows it. We're talking barbacoa tacos, street tacos, chile con queso, fajitas, enchiladas, and breakfast served all day long. Yes, all day. You're welcome. 🙌

Whether you're a Heights regular or visiting for the first time, La Mex is the kind of neighborhood spot that instantly feels like home. Come for the food, stay for the conversation!


Registration closes at noon on Thursday, October 1.
