"Goode Co. is known for its mesquite-grilled meats and seafood, and the group’s Tex-Mex restaurants are no different. Highlights include the braised and crisped pork carnitas, marinated and prepared over three days, and the chicken flautas stuffed with smoked chicken. For a truly epic feast, splurge on the parrillada familiar, which combines a pound of fajitas with jalapeño cheese smoked sausage, Texas quail, jumbo Gulf shrimp, and a half-pound of pork carnitas." - Brianna Griff
"Maybe it’s the cheeky sign exclaiming “Bienvenidos y’all” at the front of the restaurant, but Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina feels like an effortless Tex-Mex blend. The Heights joint has some of the strongest margaritas on the Northside, guacamole served plain or dressed up with pickled onions and jalepeño, sizzling skirt steak fajitas, and crispy tortilla chips. Come for the cozy and proudly rustic energy that screams Texas ranch, and stay for the queso-smothered enchiladas." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"Something is actively wrong with this queso. We can’t tell if a bunch of seafood broth somehow got into it, or if the queso vat sat outside for a few days. There’s nothing redeemable about this bowl of cheese-adjacent gloop. Avoid this offensive-tasting queso at all costs." - chelsea thomas
"This restaurant may be newer to the Heights, but it joins a long list of restaurants operated by the Goodes, one of Houston’s iconic restaurant families known to deliver when it comes to barbecue and Tex-Mex. Like its sister restaurants, Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina features margaritas, made-to-order guacamole, campechana, and Southern favorites like carnitas and redfish on the half-shell." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina’s newly launched brunch service is available at its Memorial, Heights, and Woodlands locations on both Saturdays and Sundays from 9 am to 3 p.m. Along with a series of new breakfast dishes, including chilaquiles, pancakes, and huevos rancheros, guests can look forward to brunch drinks like Mexican coffee, bloody marias, and cantina Carajillos." - Eater Staff
