The second Texas Michelin Guide is out, featuring a list of Bib Gourmands — restaurants offering standout food at semi-reasonable prices.

Why it matters: While these restaurants didn't go home with a coveted star, serving good food at decent prices is perhaps even more prized in Houston.

Driving the news: Five Houston-area restaurants joined the Bib Gourmand list:

Annam
ChòpnBlọk
da Gama canteen
Maximo
Papalo Taqueria

All of the Houston-area Bib Gourmands from the year remained on the list:

Belly of the Beast in Spring
Blood Bros. BBQ
Casaema
Killen's
Killen's BBQ in Pearland
Mala Sichuan Bistro
Nam Giao
Nancy's Hustle
Nobie's
Pinkerton's BBQ
The Pit Room
Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q in Spring
Rosie Cannonball
Street to Kitchen
Tejas Chocolate & BBQ in Tomball
Theodore Rex
Truth BBQ

Zoom out: Houston restaurants account for about one-third of Texas' Bib Gourmand selections — underscoring the city's dominance in quality affordable dining.
