A restaurant bringing a fusion of Mexican and Pakistani fare is now open in Sugar Land’s Woodbridge Shopping Center.

Mint n Chili, at 11609 Hwy. 6, Sugar Land, opened its doors March 7 with a soft opening, owner Shahid Paracha said. A grand opening is scheduled before the start of April, though no exact date is known.

Mint n Chili brings a host of offerings, including fusion items such as the restaurant’s fusion burritos, tacos, and bowls, combining the flavor of Mexico with the spices of Pakistan. According to the restaurant's website, other favorites include cheesesteak, wings, burgers and a variety of appetizers.

Paracha comes to Sugar Land after running his restaurant in both San Fransisco and Marin County over more than 20 years.

“I wanted to expand, and Houston was the place to be,” he said. “The people are nice and kind here.”


The restaurant focuses on simple, high-quality ingredients, such as halal and organic meat. It also makes all of its food from scratch, Paracha said. 346-428-0160. www.mintnchili.com
