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.

    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.

    Our waiter was so welcoming and friendly! Drink and food delivered lightning fast. The tequila cocktails were really fantastic (trying to try other things besides margaritas). The carnitas was the best I’ve ever had, served with fresh soft warm tortillas. Fantastic dinner experience.

    We love this Goode Company cantina. The food is always excellent and when the weather is nice, the outdoor patio is awesome and a great place for families. My only complaint this time was that we had out two young grandchildren with us and we asked to take some of our food to go at the end of the meal. Our table was packed with food and dishes and our hands were full with the kids. Basically our server plopped containers on the table for us to fill ourselves. I think that’s party why we leave a tip is for the full service we expect to receive and in this case, it fell short. It would not have hurt the server to help with the leftover food.
