sheeats Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Overheard from a reliable source today that Las Alamedas is relocating. And when I drove by earlier -- sure enough! -- I saw moving trucks out front. No word yet on what will be done with the building itself or where Las Alamedas will be moving to.

plumber2 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Good luck to "Mr. Greedy Landlord" in finding another stable tenant like Las Alamedas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmer Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Ahh, they'll probably tear the building down and build a CVS whose parking lot has a nice view. Between this, and the Wilshire Village, and the Tudor house on Hyde Park, and the Staub demo, I'm not feelin' the love for our old wide open real estate market these days.

Vertigo58 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 That building has always had such a stately presence. It always seemed or at least I assumed it was a very classy, elegant and expensive place. Went to a gathering there a few months ago and was not impressed at all. Perhaps it was lavish when it opened? Maybe the clientele is what changed it? Oh well, bet this one bite's the dust like most Houston icon's...Rat's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banking214 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Food was mediocre at best. At night, the views of the ravine were nice though. Great building, hope it is not torn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on all points. I really hope that something wonderful is done with the property. It's a killer location all around; hope someone is able to make something beautiful out of it.

jgriff Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The food was average. The location made this restaraunt. They better find a great new place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefmonkey Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Last time I drove by their sign said something to the effect of "Thanks for 28 years", and then definitely said "we will relocate".It's a shame to see them relocate, as the architecture of the building and its location on the bayou there are some of the best reasons to go there.

sheeats Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The good word is that that Las Alamedas might be relocating to La Centerra (or whatever it's called) out in Katy. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTAWACS Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I doubt the clientele from the Villages and Voss area will trek to Katy for their mexican food fix.I second that. I must also add that I doubt they will track to Katy for anything except fuel for they vehicles whilst fleeing some kind of natural disaster...

NenaE Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I doubt the clientele from the Villages and Voss area will trek to Katy for their mexican food fix.I agree, don't see that happening. I was surprised when it survived all the road construction, the past few years. The bayou is awesome, in it's natural state in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToryGattis Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 You know, I'm not surprised by this. The food there never really impressed me, although the location did (backside forest and bayou). I think the landlord figured out if he got somebody in there with food to match the ambiance, that restaurant would make more money and therefore be able to pay higher rent.
