About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
Bienvenidos, y'all!

With James Beard-nominated chef and restauranteur Levi Goode at the helm, our fourth Kitchen & Cantina from Goode Company Restaurants showcases the rich foods and traditions we grew up with on both sides of the border. Find us located across from the historic River Oaks Theatre where you'll find an experience inspired by long days on the Gulf, late nights on the ranch, and the colorful creations of our abuela.

Try wood-fired redfish on the half shell swaddled in homemade tortillas, made-to-order guacamole, and family-style parrilladas - huge mixed platters of wild game and fresh vegetables, topped with pico de gallo and queso fresco.

A few margaritas on our patio and you've found your new casa sweet casa. Top off the experience by wandering over to our agave sanctuary Bar Buena nestled around the corner.

    As an ex-NYer and current Floridian visiting my daughter and son in law in Houston they recommended Goode Co. in River Oaks for dinner. Amazing choice…relaxing atmosphere, delicious food and drinks and our waiter, Charles, made our experience memorable. He made us feel very welcome and comfortable and when asked for food suggestions he was spot on! When back again to Houston, Goode Co. will absolutely be on our list of restaurants to visit.

    Excited to try this new Tex Mex by Goode Co. Where there were high points, overall we were left under impressed and likely to not return, choosing our tried and true favorites instead. This Cantina is nicely decorated inside, in fact really loved that. The chips and salsa are great, which is also a big plus at any Tex Mex place. Our group was large so we tried a large variety of items. Most were described as "pretty good" or "ok" but not many "fantastic". Our primary disappointment came in the area of price and service. For the overall taste of food, it's pricey. When it came to service, we sat without service most of the time we were there. Our waters were empty most of the time, and not a bus-person in site. Chips and salsa same thing. Our waiter seemed to have to handle everything, food ordering, service, and had multiple tables. They need more bus-persons roaming the place, refilling waters and chips/salsa. Overall the wait time was pretty long. Because of the nice location, interior decor, and a few bright spots, we might give another chance at some point, but this time we were overwhelmed.

    Goode Co in the Heights is MUCH better than the River Oaks location in my opinion.

    Everything was great. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. Not too loud. We enjoyed our food and drinks. My sister had the redfish tacos and I had beef enchiladas. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly.

    The food is great! Our server was absolutely slammed and running all over the restaurant. She was spread way too thin. We went without drinks for over 20min and dirty plates stacked on the table for even longer. We are loyal Goode supporters but this was a miss.
