Price: Expensive
• Tex-Mex • Heights / Washington
Booked 40 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.

    Blue Tuba is always terrific! The atmosphere is intimate without feeling too close and the service is courteous and helpful without ever being intrusive. The cocktails, wine list, and draft beers are great and offer a nice variety to serve as perfect accompaniments to the excellent food, which is the star of the evening. The dishes are creatively designed and perfectly executed. The schnitzel, the duck, the goulash, the pierogis - all fantastic.

    Our server Carlos was great! He suggested a perfect tequila to pair with our meal and everything was delicious. This place is definitely worth coming to and the prices were not over the top. The music was loud enough to drown out the voices of other tables, but low enough that we didn’t struggle to hear our server or have conversation at our table.

    We had the crab cake & Apple / goat cheese salad absolutely wonderful. We shared the sea bass and filet for dinner. This was the best dinner out we have had in a long while. Would have been better if we could have gotten a couple of martinis but our wine was wonderful. Service was impeccable.
