Lala’s Taquería is shaking up the Texas taco scene with inspiration from California street food, owner Dante Ramirez said.

On the menu: At Lala’s, customers can order their tacos two different ways: street style on two layered corn tortillas, or Lala’s style, where shredded cheese is melted onto a blue corn tortilla to create a “cheese skirt.”

What else: Other menu highlights include loaded elote, a Mexican street corn served with beef, cheese, jalapeño and lime, and horchata, a milky rice-based drink flavored with cinnamon.

Quote of note: “I’ve always been around Mexican food.” Ramirez joked. “People say, ‘Do you like Mexican food?’ I’m like, I don’t know, growing up we just called it food.”

Across Texas, public school districts have approved at least 150 campus closures in the last three years as they grapple with declining enrollment, state accountability issues and hefty budget shortfalls.

What's happening: Among the closures are 56 schools in Community Impact’s coverage areas. Some districts have said that additional closures are not off the table.

Roughly 76,000 fewer students were enrolled in Texas public schools during the 2025-26 school year than the year prior. This marks the first non-pandemic enrollment drop in recorded history, according to Texas Education Agency data collected annually since 1987.

Analysts warn that this year’s enrollment decline is not a one-off, with demographics expert Bob Templeton predicting that enrollment could “drop over 100,000 kids” next year.

What they're saying: “This was a decision that I made, even knowing some of the challenges our students are going to face, because I think the alternative is untenable,” Fort Bend ISD board President Kristin Tassin said as the district voted to close seven elementary schools ahead of the 2026-27 school year.
