About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
Bienvenidos, y'all!

With James Beard-nominated chef and restauranteur Levi Goode at the helm, our fourth Kitchen & Cantina from Goode Company Restaurants showcases the rich foods and traditions we grew up with on both sides of the border. Find us located across from the historic River Oaks Theatre where you'll find an experience inspired by long days on the Gulf, late nights on the ranch, and the colorful creations of our abuela.

Try wood-fired redfish on the half shell swaddled in homemade tortillas, made-to-order guacamole, and family-style parrilladas - huge mixed platters of wild game and fresh vegetables, topped with pico de gallo and queso fresco.

A few margaritas on our patio and you've found your new casa sweet casa. Top off the experience by wandering over to our agave sanctuary Bar Buena nestled around the corner.

    We had a wonderful business lunch at Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina! Our group really enjoyed their selections, and the Grilled Romaine Salad was both unique and delicious. Love what Goode Co. has done with this beautiful location!

    This was 1st visit to the new River Oaks location - usually go to the Memorial location. Was fun to see the transformation from LaGriglia! very nice! The food and service were great - felt sorry for our server when he told us that this location is not a full service bar. ONLY tequila, mezcal and agave based cocktails, beer and ONE unheard of red/white wine. The Memorial location is a full service bar!!! Glad we visited but won't be back ......

    The food was excellent, and our server, Ford, was superb. We ordered a pitcher of margarita's on the rocks, and it was all "rocks". The liquid did not even fill two glasses. It was a total rip off. We then ordered a pitcher of frozen margarita's, and it gave us more liquid, but having to pay for two pitchers for two people, left us far from satisfied.

    Beef Fajitas Fillet was so tough my wife couldn’t eat it and at $55 a plate this is terrible….my chicken and shrimp fajitas were ok but close to being burned beyond recognition. So disappointing after our first visit had been so good….may not go back as this was an expensive mistake…..

    First time here, and while we may return, we won't be rushing back. Food and service were OK, drinks weren't bad. Campechana had only a tiny amount of seafood, so it turned into a really nice cold salsa (not what you want). We also shared a mixed plate -- a little stingy with the tortillas, which was unfortunate because they were great. Pricing was fair. Nice atmosphere. Close to our new place, so wish we liked it better.

    We are happy there is finally one of these closer to us. We have been to another location before, but it was quite a drive. The service was great. Even when they forgot our appetizer, they made up for it by giving is a dessert. The food actually came out fast enough that we didn’t need an appetizer anyway. Oh, the dessert we selected was tres leches and it was the best we have ever had.

    I must say that this exceeded my expectations. I have gone to the location on I10 which is good and the one in the Heights which I will not go back to due to the subpar food, but the W. Gray location was wonderful. The food was excellent, service was super professional (thank you Tiffany) and the space is beautiful. Levi, you have a winner!
