  • Hamburguesa Estilo Monterrey

    What exactly is a hamburguesa estilo Monterrey? I visited the Hamburguesas Del Rio location at Avenida Constitucion 1121 Pte. Centro in Monterrey, Mexico to seek the definitive answer to that question. I had long assumed that the term described a specific Mexican-style set of garnishes, namely the shredded lettuce, chopped onion, sliced tomato, hamburger patty, slice of ham and avocado architecture seen in the photo. But I was wrong. A couple of bites revealed that there was something altoget

  • Lone Star Culinary: You'll Think You Died and Went to Spice Heaven

    Photos by Robb WalshVisit the new Lone Star Culinary/Flores Spice Company store behind El Bolillo on Airline across the street from Canino's, but go when you have some time for shopping. I was so overwhelmed to see all the stuff I needed in one place that I didn't even buy anything. The bulk spice racks are amazing. They have powdered chiles -- including ancho and guajillo -- at a fraction of the price I have been paying. I use these to make my own chili powder and grill rubs, and I go through

  • Aftermath: The Krayolas at Cactus Music

    Photos by Chris Gray The coolest band in Houston this weekend couldn't find a club or venue to play. Not at night, anyway - San Antonio's the Krayolas did manage to play Dan Electro's during Saturday afternoon's live broadcast of KPFT's Joe's Roadhouse, and Cactus Music an hour or two thereafter. If you have any idea who Joe "King" Carrasco is - the Dumas-born rocker who fooled MTV and Stiff Records into thinking his Tex-Mex party music was New Wave in the early '80s - you would have loved the K

  • In the Little Stalls Behind Canino's: Huauzontle

    Photo by Robb Walsh​Maybe I am spending too much time hanging around at Canino's trying to score. This time, I went home with a bag full or huauzontle [wah-ZONT-lay], a Mexican weed that tastes like broccoli. Some food writers have mistaken it for sorghum, which was imported to the New World from Africa. In fact, the plant (Chenopodium nuttalliae) is native to the Americas. It is a member of the goosefoot family and closely related to the South American grain quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa).

  • Artist of the Week: Electro-Proggers The Live Lights Assure Us the "Sky Will Fall"

    Each Wednesday, Rocks Off arbitrarily appoints one lucky local performer or group "Artist of the Week," bestowing upon them all the fame and grandeur such a lofty title implies. Know a band or artist that isn't awful? Email their particulars to introducingliston@gmail.com.Photos by Elias Ibanez​ Sometimes, you happen across a band at exactly the right moment to make them meaningful or important or good or whatever to you.

  • Dynamo Choosing A Bad Time To Slump

    Photo courtesy Houston Dynamo​Everything was aligned perfectly for the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday night. Before their final CONCACAF Champions League match, Pachuca defeated Arabe Unido, meaning all the Dynamo had to do was win against the previously winless Isidro Metapan to advance to the quarterfinals.Unfortunately, that task proved too difficult for the Orange as they fell 3-2 to the side from El Salvador. Apparently, the Dynamo never even got off the plane. In the first ten minutes of th

  • Inquiring Minds: Mexican Global Groovers and World Travelers Plastilina Mosh

    ​Plastilina Mosh has a new CD out, All U Need Is Mosh, on Nacional Records, and brings its international sound to Houston Thursday for a free concert with Venezuela's Los Amigos Invisibles. That's right, it's free - all it costs is a very worthwhile trip outside the Loop. Rocks Off hasn't picked up All U Need yet, but here are three picks from the album that should convince you to do it: "My Party" "Let U Know" "Pervert Pop Song" P-Mosh (you try spelling it correctly!) is made up of only tw
