• 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.

    I was so happy that I stumbled upon an article that listed them as one of the top places to have tea in Houston. Whenever I go out of town I try to find a place where I can have tea service and this did not disappoint. It is probably in my top two favorite places I’ve ever gone for tea. I will definitely come back for tea during a future visit and also plan to come there for dinner as well as the food smelled wonderful. It is beautifully decorated. The staff were very accommodating and offered to put our luggage in their office as we were flying out directly after tea Service. I can’t say enough about the service, the ambience and the food and drinks.

    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.
