cottonmather0 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.Thus far it seems to have worked for Rainbow Lodge. Their new location (which happens to be about 5 blocks from my house) backs up to White Oak Bayou and the Foodarama at TC Jester and Ella and, while still nice, isn't nearly as exotic or scenic as their former location. Nonetheless, the parking lot is full every weekend. Of course, the menu is I bit more original and unique than was Las Alamedas'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMan Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Regarding the Houston Press entry: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2009/...ertain_futu.phpThe bit about the Marriott bandit sign is pretty interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefmonkey Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Las Alamedas' building was the real draw, the dark, "Old Mexico" spanish colonial feel in the front, the big glass windows overlooking the ravine in the back. They did have some good fish dishes, but overall, I don't think I'll bother finding out where the new Las Alamedas will be, but I sure will miss the old one.

Highrise Tower Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Two tracts are fenced with a green screen. The tracts of land are separated by Old Voss road. Anybody know the scoop? This could potentially be great mixed-use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
