Aji Peruvian Express, Houston’s only Peruvian food truck, is available to rent for private events. An offshoot of the brick-and-mortar Aji Peruvian Grill, the menu blends Peruvian and Mexican cuisine, with dishes like empanadas, ceviche, pork tamales, tacos, and burritos.

Visit Houston, the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau, launched a free app in November that uses augmented-reality technology to provide an easy way for meeting attendees to experience the city. The app displays nearby points of interest, including hotels, restaurants, and attractions, within the user’s immediate vicinity. Users can also access visithouston.com directly through the app to get more information. Future enhancements will include the ability to make hotel and restaurant reservations, book parking spaces, purchase event tickets, and connect with local transportation services.
