Now open at 1120 Dennis Street in Midtown, the owners describe TAGO as a Tulum-inspired restaurant that doesn’t just serve food—it builds a whole experience. In other words, earthy tones, tropical plants, warm lighting, and a 2,700 square foot patio that encourages a laidback attitude.
Leading the kitchen is Chef Kristi Courtney, who has already made waves in the Houston culinary scene through popular restaurants like Uchi, The Dunlavy, and Rainbow Lodge. At TAGO, she continues to blend her Texas roots with Mexican heritage, and the result is a summer menu that somehow feels both grounded and adventurous.
And after 9 p.m., is when you’ll get to witness that adventure, as TAGO evolves with lights dimming, and a D.J. welcomes people on the dance floor. It becomes a nightlife without the velvet rope; just vibes, music, and a solid late-night bites menu that runs till 1:30 a.m.
TAGO is open from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday through Sunday. Full dinner runs until 11 p.m., and the small bites menu takes over until close.
