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.

    This has happened before where the restaurant isn’t even half full, but the host says there’s a wait even with a reservation. There were plenty of open tables. There needs to be some remedial training done on managing the front of the house.

    The Heights location never disappoints. Food is always fantastic...you have to try the cheese enchiladas...YUM! I always order one a la cart! Margaritas on the rocks are my favorite here. Service is amazing as well!

    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.
