Neighborhoods
Nestled against Buffalo Bayou on the East End, the historically Hispanic neighborhood has seen a wave of renovations and new builds that have proven attractive Houstonians who appreciate its location right in the heart of the city.
The area has gone through some gentrification in recent years. The next phase of the Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s bayou-redevelopment project—a 20-year plan that will add parks and trails to the section along the Second Ward’s north boundary—is guaranteed to increase the number of people flocking here.
It’s hard to blame them. Residents enjoy easy access to the METRO light rail, the Original Ninfa’s on Navigation, and the weekly East End Farmer’s Market, in addition to an entire new crop of EaDo restaurants and bars, all a blink of an eye from downtown.

Great Mexican food. Fajitas are always good, but whatever you get, get a side of the Pechuga Gravy. It will change your life.
