Lately Mexican food
has been getting a bad rap on the fat content of its
fare. Not all Mexican food is loaded with fat. I want
you to know a little more about the way we prepare your
food. The Last Concert Cafe buys only the highest
quality of lean fresh meats. Our chicken is boneless and
skinless which cuts down on the fat content of the
finished product. Our Burgers are made only with black
angus beef. Our cheese is the highest quality Wisconsin
Cheddar and Monterrey Jack. We do not use processed
cheeses in our dinners. Feta cheese is a very low fat
cheese and is used in all of our dishes. Olive oil is
used to saute', season or marinate our food. Our pintos
are not refried in lard but in olive oiil. The refrying
process gives the beans a rich full bodied flavor. Our
black beans are seasoned with a small amount of lean
bacon. We fry our own taco shells and tostada shells in
peanut oil, a delicious natural oil containing no trans
fats. Our produce is bought from the local farmers
market every day. We do not purchase already prepared
foods. We marinate our own meats, chop our own
vegetables and make our own desserts. We have added many
vegetarian choices, with grilled vegetables or soy
protein. We make everything from scratch. We believe
food is better for you when prepared by caring hands and
happy people. We have been preparing food in this manner
since I came to the Last Concert Cafe in 1986. Thanks,
Dawn

When 62-year
old Elena "Mama" Lopez opened a small Mexican restaurant in 1949
at 1403 Nance, she christened it the Last Concert Cafe to
signify this would be her last endeavor.
Lopez, a fragile-looking woman whose photograph hangs
in a corner of the restaurant, died in 1985, at the age of 95.
But as for the cafe itself, the last concert may be a long time
coming.
Every night, the place throbs
with live music ranging from gentle folk to gritty rhythm and
blues.
In addition, the cafe serves lunch to a
crowd that includes burly workers from the warehoused district
and corporate executives from downtown.

Under a Houston off ramp, cafe has a lock on survival
Houston - Twelve feet from an exit ramp off
Interstate 10, in the urban hodgepodge of Texas' largest city,
rests a hardy survivor of the havoc a major highway project can
inflict upon a neighborhood.
The Last Concert Cafe, spared from the wrecking ball
when I-10 blew through Houston in the late 1960's,may be the
most anonymous-looking Mexican restaurant in Texas, if not the
United States. The nondescript red-and-white building has a
small courtyard, no sign and a red front door that remains
locked.

Leave it to the gourmet-minded French
to put a twist on typical Tex-Mex traditions. When
French Consulate cultural attache' Joel Savary
entertained 25 visiting rench VIPs Wednesday night at
the Last Concert Cafe, They Washed down their nachos not
with margaritas but with specially ordered lime
daiquris.
Apparently, the night spot was tres
OK with Savary's guest. They stayed until 1 am dancing
to the sounds of Pot Roast and raving about the unique
Houston locale.

You'll have to look hard to find the Last Concert Cafe. You'll
also have to knock on the door to gain entrance. But this
Mexican themed restaurant and jammy live music will keep you
entertained for hours
