Bienvenidos, y'all!Inspired by long days on the Gulf, late nights on the ranch and the colorful creations of our abuela, our family's Kitchen & Cantina showcases the rich foods and traditions we grew up with on both sides of the border.Nothing matches the flavor of food grilled over mesquite. Try wood-fired Texas quail swaddled in homemade tortillas, jalapeno rellanos stuffed with house-made chorizo and sizzling, family-style parrilladas - huge mixed platters of wild game and fresh vegetables, topped with pico de gallo and queso fresco - a unique spin on Houston barbeque.Our days begin roasting chilies and tomatoes, rolling fresh tortillas in our bakery and wringing every last drop of Ruby Red grapefruit for cocktails. We hand-grind our own sausage and hand-trim every ounce of meat in our butchery, then anoint it with the savory seasonings and marinades we've honed over generations.A few margaritas on our patio and you've found your new casa sweet casa.

Last minute decision to dine at Haywire. Got a quick reservation for our party of 5. We arrived early, but were sat immediately. Our server, Greg, was informative and knowledgeable about the menu. We decided to share the Cowboy Feast. The meat was cooked to our liking and all the butters that came with it were delicious. Our drinks were tasty. Overall, a great dining experience and we will go back.

Excellent Christmas Eve tradition! Food and service were stellar! A little crowded with the loud table next to us. Felt like we were in the middle of their conversation. Other than that…PERFECT evening!
