• Tex-Mex • Heights / Washington

Booked 51 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.

The fish is fresh. Hand rolls are flavorful. I love the saki box. Just know if you are short the barstools are high so can’t reach the foot rest so it makes it uncomfortable, but still worth a visit for the excellent food.

The service was top-notch. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. The place was gorgeous! We tried the dragon roll, lobster toast, waygu strip steak, mac and cheese, and grilled asparagus for our savory dishes. My only complaint is that the asparagus could have used a touch of salt. That food was great. The serving sizes were perfect. For dessert, we got the cheesecake and the lemon and lime. Both were so good and really fun to eat. We will be back.
