The package includes three customer favorites: tasajo, ranchera, and costillas, available marinated or unmarinated for cookouts, parties, and catered events. Beyond premium cuts, La Carniceria also offers house-made chorizo, charcoal, tortillas, cheeses, and salsas, creating a one-stop destination for backyard grilling essentials. Customers continue to praise the market for the tenderness, flavor, and quality of its meats, along with the shop\u2019s attention to detail and customized cuts.<\/p>\n<p>TXE 052626 Goode Co (KSAT 2026)GOODE CO.

Located in Houston\u2019s Upper Kirby district, the massive venue is instantly recognizable thanks to the giant silver armadillo sculpture out front that puffs smoke into the air above Kirby Drive. Inside, guests are surrounded by reclaimed wood, antique saddles, taxidermy, vintage Texas memorabilia, and multiple live music stages that celebrate the state\u2019s rich musical heritage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The menu focuses on scratch-made Texas favorites, including venison chili, shrimp campechana, Gulf Coast seafood, chicken fried steak, and wood-fired meats.
