• Tex-Mex • Heights / Washington

Booked 37 times today

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.

We used to go to San Jacinto Inn as kids, so my brothers and I celebrated what would have been our parents’ 74th anniversary at La Lucha and you knocked it out of the park! Thanks so much for a memorable evening celebrating family.

Simply the best Caesar salad made table side and know Maria is the best at making the Caesar salad. We love Saturdays with the music and Mondays are half price bottles of wine with a nice selection and great food with your wine. Cavatore remains one of our favorite Italian Restaurants
