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.

    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.

    Love Goode Company Cantina! I just wish they did a better job with their reservation system. Even with a reservation, we sometimes wait close to 30 minutes to get a table. They could do a better job of refilling water and chips too.

    Excellent food & service. We would highly recommend however beware of the chicken in the rice & beans cooked with pork juice. We are pescatarian & wasn’t aware. The manager did apologize & offer us free dessert & a gift card. Fun & spirited place. Salsa & chips delicious as were the shrimp tacos.
