Welcome Back to Cypress Digest! Your Weekly Guide to News, Events & Exclusive Deals in Cypress, TX.

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Easter.

✨ Business Spotlight ✨

It’s been a minute since we did a business spotlight but we had to brag on what I feel is the best Mexican food here in the Cypress area— Alicias Mexican Grille! You can find them right off 290 across from the Walmart on Fry and Cypress Rosehill.

Here’s why we love it:
 1. Service! We have visited four different spots in the area and as for consistency, Alicia’s takes the cake. We are always greeted, seated and treated with the same courtesy and smiling service.

  1. Specials: Weekday happy hours, Mondays kids eat free and monthly food/alcohol pairings. They are constantly switching it up and bringing great value regardless of the day you go.

  2. The Food is delicious: My husband and I rave about their Combo Fajita Poblanos. He is a beef fan, but the chicken is for me. Their marinade is one of a kind and the poblano peppers, onions and mushrooms push it right over the top.
