The service was top notch. They start you off with warm seasoned rolls. They are super attentive to ensure any dirty plates are removed and your drinks are refilled. our waitress, Kat, was excellent. Our entrees were flavorful and plentiful. Great value for the money. The belly dancer and Greek dancers were very entertaining and adults and children alike enjoyed joining in the fun!

The Woodlands

About the restaurant

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.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at the Back Table Kitchen on Friday evening. The Hostess team was very accommodating to us as a very large party (40+ people, I think) arrived just before us and seated us in the bar area which we very much appreciated. Our waitress, Shaylee, was very engaging and attentive to us and completely met our needs for the evening. We also enjoyed listening to the lady who was providing live music as well. Our drinks were prepared as ordered and the food was tasty as we shared several items on the menu...the Tamal was really good as was the Smashburger! Again, "cuddos" to the entire team working the restaurant on this evening as the situation was a bit challenging with the large party.
