Tacos, Tits and Ass on Richmond

The sign says it all.

If you're looking for a live-action version of Tony Stamolis's new book T&T&A here in Houston, look no further than El Tiempo.

Formerly the Pink Pussycat Cabaret, El Tiempo's closest neighbor offers free admission for those in the grips of a taco-chica love triangle.

Strangely, El Tiempo is pretty high-class as far as tacos go. The crowd is decidedly not of the strip club variety, and the menu is a little pricey even when you're not ordering your fajitas with optional lobster or quail.

Maybe that's why the girls next door felt the need to class it up a notch and change the name to the Diamond Club, but whether one establishment merely tolerates the other or they're in cahoots, it's clear from the proximity of the sign to El Tiempo's main entrance that they both know they're on to something, playing off Houston's baser instincts.

Well well well El Tiempo, I liked your food but I'm never coming back.

Diamond Club has had some clever signs. One said "37 beauties and one ugly."

So I can go from one expensive taco place to another for free? Hot damn.

Bette Midler once said, "If God didn't mean for man to eat pussy, then why did he make it look like a taco?

\I love tacos.

Is that the place with the stripper with a gunshot wound? Or is that the place with the one-armed stripper? Ahhh Richmond, how I miss thee!
