About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    Although service from our waiter, Jordan, was excellent, there were things beyond his control that could be improved especially in regards to the food. The flour and corn tortillas were cold and brittle when handed to us and they were inedible. The pork tamales flavor wise were delicious but also cold. And one of the joined tables was extremely unlevel and wobbly that no amount of sugar packets or cloth napkins would level it out and it was frustrating to have to eat on. Usually we would have requested another table but bc it was Father’s Day and the inside dining was all booked, we chose to stay put and leave it be.

    Our server, Ruby, was excellent. We sat in the outside addition…co erred, enclosed with overhead fans and a cooler a/c unit. It was almost as cool as being inside, just brighter.
