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.

    Food & service were excellent. We had drinks, appetizers, mains, etc. & couldn't find a single fault in any of it.

    The food was delicious. It is presented well, well seasoned, and generous. The server was great, water refills were quick. No complaints! Best tortilla soup in town.

    We visited for an early dinner. Service was very attentive, friendly and quick. We enjoyed our meal very much and we will definitely be back. Fun 80’s vibe music set the meal as an upbeat place to be. Highly recommend

    Definitely trying to fit as many people as you can in a small space. Carlos our waiter, was outstanding. As busy as things were he remained attentive, on top of orders , & always had a positive friendly demeanor.

    Try to get a table which is out of the main corridor used by the servers or, alternatively, opt for a booth (which I prefer not to be seated because getting up & out in the middle of a meal is a total P.I.T.A.). The food was excellent as were the prices, the service was fine, the noise level was excruciating (outdoor seating may have a more acceptable noise level). Overall, this was a "good" Goode dining experience.

    The food was excellent and so was the service. Chips and queso, salad, redfish, enchiladas and margaritas are great choices.
