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.

An excellent restaurant for lunch or dinner. The menu is good and not too large and the food and service were excellent. :It is not over-priced and the serving size is good but not too large. The noise level is just acceptable. This was our first visit but we will certainly go back.

It was my first time at Credence and I had an outstanding experience. My server Deji was well versed in the food, cocktails and wine and made the experience pleasant which the great recommendations based on my likes. A special thanks to the manager Ikenna, who ensured the service was smooth and I was always attended to. The ambience at Credence was great and perfect for those who enjoy good food and drinks in a calm atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend and I will be back.
