A new Latin American restaurant and bar has opened its doors in the neighborhood. The fresh arrival to Lazybrook, called Melita's Restaurant & Bar, is located at 11031 N.W. Freeway and has a sister restaurant in Spring Branch.

The family-owned business, which opened its original location more than 10 years ago, specializes in Salvadoran pupusas — thick corn tortillas stuffed with savory fillings. Tacos, tripe soup and daily specials are also available. For cocktails, you can expect margaritas, palomas and micheladas, among others.

Melita's Restaurant & Bar only has one review on Yelp thus far, giving it a four-star rating.

Yelper Dezarae M., who reviewed the spot on June 22, wrote, “Great food, nice atmosphere and the service was excellent. Would be coming here again!”
