FEATURED IMPACT COMING SOON Cabo Bob’s , an Austin-based burrito restaurant with a seafood twist, is expanding its presence in Houston with three new eateries, including one in Katy. The Katy location will open this summer at 740 Mason Road, Katy. The theme of each restaurant is based on dierent surng hot spots, and the food reects the taste of Cabo Pulmo, Cabo Bob’s owner Don Brinkman said. “You have a lot of surfers here [in Houston], and they get it; they get the sh tacos,” Brinkman said. Inspired by the food of coastal California and the surfer mentality, Brinkman opened the original Cabo Bob’s in Austin with his wife, Terri Brinkman, in 2008. When he moved forward with the Houston expansion, Brinkman licensed to local franchisee Bob Hauser to choose the best location which aims to conserve Texas prairies and wetlands. President and CEO Mary Anne Piacentini said while the Katy Prairie is still a focus for the organization, it plans to continue that expansion to the Gulf Coast. The organization has an office at 31975 Hebert Road, Waller. 713-523-6135. www.coastalprairieconservancy.org

and run the new establishment. The rst Houston location at 1810 Fountain View Drive, which opened in late 2019, is already popular with the locals, Brinkman said. Two other locations will also open this summer at 7103 Cutten Road, Houston, in the Willowbrook Mall and in Meadows Place at 11940 Southwest Freeway. 281-396-4087. www.cabobobs.com
