A New Chipotle is Coming to This Nassau Bay Location

1600 E NASA Parkway in Nassau Bay, a satellite city of Houston, was once home to a beloved Luby’s restaurant. Now, after being closed for the past four years, the location will soon host a new dining experience. According to TDLR filings, Chipotle is renovating the building, shifting from the old cafeteria style to its signature made-to-order format.

In 1944, this area near 1600 E NASA Parkway was predominantly grazing land, showcasing the rural landscape before the arrival of NASA and other developments.

The building, originally completed in 1995, saw Luby’s close its doors in 2020. This part of Houston has a rich history, with aerial images dating back to the 1940s showing it as grazing land. The 1960s brought significant development with the completion of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, spurring new businesses and neighborhoods. In 1992, the Space Center Museum opened across the street from the future Chipotle site, adding another landmark to the area.
