Owner/chef Hugo Ortega has become a Houston legend alongside wife and restaurateur Tracy Vaught ? who also operates Prego, Trevisio and Backstreet Cafe ? and their longtime sommelier, Sean Beck. The Hugo's team established the interior Mexican restaurant as one of the finest restaurants in the city, period, and set the bar for modern Mexican food across the country with their success.
