When I was a kid, my Dad often took me to the old Marini's, on lower
Westheimer.  Argentina-style empanadas in a little shack kind of place
with writing all over the walls.  We sat on barrels.  It was next door
to Udder Delight, a place that made real homemade ice cream in a giant
White Mountain ice cream machine.  Mmmmm.  Marini's opened several
branches, but eventually went out of business in the 80's, I think.  The
location off Richmond was sold, changed the name to Marine's, and added
Columbian food.

Well, the original Marini is back, and the food is great.  He has a
place off Westheimer, sort of behind the Ninfas that's next to the House
of Pies (6154 B Westheimer.)  It isn't really a shack any more, and
there are real chairs, but the empanadas are outstanding.  Dulce de
Leche is the perfect food.  Check it out.
