• Tex-Mex • Heights / Washington

Booked 36 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.

Wow! Every morsel was scrumptious and beautifully presented. The service is impeccable. Michelin star well deserved. You will pay for the privilege, of course, but an excellent extravagance to be certain.

A Truly Special Experience at Doko – 10/10 Doko made our visit feel incredibly special. I had noted in our reservation that it was my partner’s 28th birthday, and they went above and beyond — greeting us with flowers and a thoughtful card. That level of personal touch is rare and truly appreciated. From the moment we arrived, the service felt custom-tailored: fast, helpful, and most importantly, warm and inviting. The food was solidly above average, and the drinks were outstanding — their matcha IPA was especially memorable. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Doko to anyone looking for a unique and thoughtful dining experience.
