Lovely service by Meher, such a bright smile and character. Food was great overall, as well as the ambiance of the restaurant.

Loved Cena's Kitchen! Great ambiance, service and Tex-mex. They have a large menu. I ended up getting spinach enchiladas. This is something I've never tried, but I really enjoyed it. It came with rice and a mini salad. Chips and salsa was also really good - the green salsa was my favorite. Family enjoyed their time there as well. read more

Fabulous TexMex! We were out running errands and decided to stop in. From the moment we walked in, I knew this was a winner. Loved the decor, the vibe, the staff, and most importantly the food! The chips are thick and taste like corn. We split the fajitas nachos and they were delicious. The meat had the best flavor and so tender! The guacamole was fresh. The house margarita was spot on! We will go back. (To the owners: We don't live in Copperfield and would love it if you'd consider opening a store closer to Jones and 1960. There was a Big City Wings at that corner, but they moved. You could slip right in that space! We desperately need a great TexMex restaurant closer to home. Thank you!) read more

Relaxing atmosphere with tasty food. Service and atmosphere: The staff were polite, professional and attentive. The restaurant had modern vibe with colourful decor and clean aesthetic. Food and drinks: Good menu had big selection of Mexican cuisine foods. We ordered sampler for starters which came with a few different appetisers. The variety was good and all were tasty. Beef fajitas were tender, well seasoned and full of flavour. The restaurant has an ice cream machine which is free of charge. Bonus! Drinks were prepared well and they offer good selection of alcoholic beverages. Pricing: $$ - standard prices. read more

This was our first time here and the atmosphere is beautiful. I love mosaic tile and Spanish art when you walk in the restaurant. I will say the layout is different with various tables pointing different directions so I didn't know where she was taking us lol but it's a fun vibe in here. My Plato Pancho Villa was huge for $10.99. It had enchiladas, guacamole, crispy taco, rice and beans. The cheese enchiladas with chili con queso was delicious. My husband got the Tacos Al Carbon and the beef fajita meat was seasoned perfectly. Our margaritas were delicious and Chad our server was helpful with my drink to not have jalapeño and made us feel welcomed here so we wouldn't mind coming back. read more

Cenas kitchen, is an overpriced Mexican restaurant honestly, I don't feel like the food was worth the price. The flavor wasn't even decent, and the taste didn't even justify how expensive it was. At that price point, I expected the food to be much better. Unfortunately, I left feeling like I paid more than what the meal was actually worth. It's not bad food, but it's definitely overpriced for what you get. The service is ok the waitress seemed like she wanted to be anywhere but there and only came back to our table once for drink refills and seemed like she didn't even want to ask us if we were ok. The ambience is nice and the restaurant is clean only thing is the tables are very close together and can feel a bit over crowded during dinner hour. Save your money go to an authentic tiny family owned restaurant you'll get better food and service for a fraction of the cost. read more

We were craving some Tex Mex around the hwy 6 area as our previous go-to went out of business. After a quick search I saw Cenas had decent reviews so we decided to give it a try. Late Lunch time on a Monday afternoon wasn't too busy, we were quickly seated and drink orders and recommendations were taken. The complementary Chips and salsa were great! The daily lunch specials with +$2 marg option was a great deal! I opted for a basic chicken quesadilla and it did not disappoint. To top this all off...complementary soft serve!! Great tasting food, great service, lunch menu prices were affordable! There is also a nice bar to the right when you walk in. Will be back! read more

My niece and I came here for her schools spirit night and glad we did they are not getting a 5 because we did not get chips and salsa. We sat on the patio which was really nice as it had been hot the previous days. My seafood enchiladas were wonderful and OMG that rice was as the best I've tasted in a long time. I chose the watermelon margarita first since on Mondays they have happy hour and the first two margaritas were two dollars. I wasn't really impressed by the watermelon, but then I got the strawberry and it was much better. My niece of course got the same thing that she gets at any Mexican restaurant, chicken nuggets and fries. She loved them both. Our waitress was wonderful and we can't wait to go back. read more

My mom chose Cenas Kitchen for her birthday dinner to celebrate with most of the family. I personally wasn't expecting much. I used to live in Texas for a short period of time and in general, the Mexican food is very much Tex-Mex. When we arrived, there was lots of parking and a few people inside. We were greeted immediately and warmly. We were sat at a large and clean table. We had 6 people in our party, one being a child. My husband and I are not picky and don't change menu items/ingredients. The rest of the table however, are the opposite. Our waiter was gracious, hard working, and kind throughout our visit. Our drinks were always filled. My first look at the menu, I was rejoicing. They had Mangonada with chamoy sticks! Besides my husband (who knows my obsession), no one at our table knew what this was. They ordered waters and tea while I celebrated my mom's birthday with a margarita. The menu was expansive and I ended up ordering a platter. First off, the Mangonada was delicious! I let my mom have a try and she ended up getting one for herself, my cousin tried it and she too, wanted to order one. I was so happy to spread the chamoy love onto others! Second, the food is not Tex-mex. It's delicious, hot, and savory! Love is put into the meals. And the tamale...SO good!! I can't find good tamales where we live in NC. This made me so happy! We all enjoyed our meals, with plenty of leftovers to take home. I was really happy that my mom chose Cenas Kitchen for the group. If I'm to come back to the area, I hope she recommends coming here again! read more

Nut allergy friendly: I didn't even ask! We got here around 11:30AM for a lunch with three. Seated relatively quickly. Chips and sauces out within five minutes. Time to Lunch Order: 13 Minutes The chips and salsa was pretty good. The creamier sauce wasn't too flavorful (a bit of spice) and the red sauce was relatively standard and a little bland. My mixed Fajita Quesadilla was hefty and had a nice side of sour cream and guacamole. The quesadilla seemed a bit uneven with some pieces having a lot of meat and others more held together by cheese. I actually came here about six years ago, in 2019, and also gave it a 4/5 for way too much queso on their fajita and being too greasy. Overall, it's the same as I remember, but great for lunch due to fast service. Their specials seem great, but I couldn't be drinking during a work day. read more

Well, I'm sure the food is good, but we didn't get to enjoy it because the moment we sat down and ordered drinks, the waitress refused to serve my guy friend who's kind of burly. She said that he was drunk, even though that's just his sober personality. Awkward! If you go here, be ready to be judged. Terible service!!!! read more

When they switched locations, they got ssssooo much better!! My family and I visit Cena's all the time and they have such great food! I love the new look too. My favorite dish are the Tex Mex tacos! Plus their charros are AMAZING!!! I always judge a Mexican restaurant by their charros!! Typically when we visit we have Anna as our waitress but unfortunately she hasn't been there in awhile and we've been served by Angel a few times who is a sweetheart! If you're really trying to get the party started, go for the margaritas (frozen)! You'll be leaning when you leave out! Haha!! 10/10!!! read more

Went to dinner with the wife and joined by friends. One Pollo Poblano, One Chicken Enchilada Dinner, One Tex-Mex Tacos Crispy, and a Taco Salad. Chips arrived quickly and were fresh. Sauces were standard, but not bad. Entrees arrived quickly and were beautiful. We used the Chipotle Cream, Ranchero, and Poblano sauces along with hot sauce. Each one was wonderful. My female companions elected to order a Tres Leches to compare to their favorite. While not award winning (in their opinion), they managed to consume it and lived to dine another day. Overall, a nice friendly, colorful location, not overly loud, and providing a nice addition to the area. read more

Great place to tackle taco Tuesday. They offer daily drink and food specials. The service was top tier. My waitress didn't let a thing go unhandled. The street tacos were great and their margaritas pack a punch. This is a great place to stop in for any day of the week. read more

Amazing queso and enchiladas. Great service and ambiance as well. Margaritas are strong.

In a world of a million Mexican restaurants, your service and honesty can stand out. It's always so frustrating to order something, and ask if you can substitute an item- and then be nickel and dimed with the up charges and not told. It's ridiculous that you would have to pay for jalapeños when you're already paying a ridiculous price for fajitas. But apparently, jalapeños aren't considered what would be a normal accompaniment to fajitas. "SAM" the novice manager needs a lesson in professionalism and what is the appropriate way to deal with constructive complaints. No, not all Mexican restaurants are created equal nor is the management. read more

The easiest 10/10 I could ever give a restaurant. We were sat immediately on a Sunday afternoon. Ariya was our server and she was very knowledgeable about the menu and sweet. We had the chicken empanadas for appetizer, it could very well be an entree by itself. They were packed with flavor and sooooo yummy! My bf had the mango and shrimp salad, it had this amazing sweet ginger dressing that was very green so I was a bit skeptical but it was the best thing I've ever tasted! I want the recipe sooooo bad. For my entree, I had the Mexican wrap with fajita beef, it was huge! But very delicious. They offer free ice cream so I had to try it. So good! Every time I'm in town I will be going here! Very family friendly, bright and airy inside decor wise. I love it there! read more

Well I had to think a while before writing this review. Originally was thinking 3 stars but had to add a star after thinking about the whole picture. I was very impressed by the restaurant itself...wonderful ambience and a nice big, fully stocked bar. Since I was alone I opted for sitting at the bar. Bar stools are very uncomfortable...but I stayed there as I was kinda in a hurry and the service was great so that was a good thing. Now to the more complicated part of my review. The food is...well...different. Not really in a bad way and seemed pretty fresh. My order came with two plates as with a lot of combo plates. I ordered the Friday combo special consisting of the first plate...one crispy taco, one bean tostada and another tostada with queso on it. Both tostadas and taco shell were very stale. The meat in the taco had a...not bad, not good...just different flavor. Didn't enjoy that plate at all. I was starving so I finished the taco but not the tostadas. Second plate...two cheese enchiladas with great chili sauce and white cheese...very good. Rice that was good but the star of the show was the charro beans! Best I've ever had in a restaurant. I decided I will return to try the shrimp and/or fajitas...oh and a margarita if I go on a day off. Can't totally judge a restaurant on one visit. Go give it a try, nice place and great service. Go give them a try and read more

Cenas Kitchen - Two cheese enchiladas, rice and beans. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

Cenas Kitchen is the new name of the old Aguirre's Tex Mex restaurant that was located on Hwy 6 N. Not only did they change the name but they moved north about a mile away (about 3 months ago) and now is located on Hwy 529 next to Hwy 6N. It's in the old Fajita Willie's location in the large shopping center where Best Buy and Barnes and Noble are. Yelp location is accurate. The new spot is much, much larger inside. It has indoor and outdoor seating with a full bar and a large indoor dining room. The decor is very attractive with many drop lights hanging from the open ceiling. They did a nice job with the interior decorating here. Fortunately they basically have the same menu which means the same excellent food. I have visited twice for the Fish El Rey and Chicken fajitas. Both were just as good as the old Aguirre's which means a 5 score. On certain days they have these dishes and other on special. The chips are crunchy and the red and green salsas delicious. The flour tortillas here are homemade but not the corn. I like the charro beans the best and the table service is attentive. This location is superior to the old one in almost every way and the food is equally good. Here is my one complaint. My first visit was for dinner and the restaurant was about 1/3 full and it was kind of loud inside and it shouldn't have been. Had it been 2/3 full, I wouldn't have wanted to be there. Unfortunately the acoustics here are poor. They need more sound deadening materials inside. Inside looks great but busy days will be annoying with the sound reverberation. It is only for that reason I give a Yelp score of 4 instead of 5. read more

My sister has been trying to get me there, but it just hasn't worked out until it did. And it was soooo worth it! The inside was so tastefully decorated and beautiful that it actually felt like you had just stepped into a tropical paradise. From the main dining area to the giant wall of Tequila in the bar it was just stunning. I'm just gonna go ahead and get my ONLY negative comment out of the way..... it was COLD AF in there, but we were seated near the front door and every time it opened it felt like I was sitting in a deep freeze.....BRRRRRR! The service was excellent even though it was close to 7 on a Friday night we waited for l less than twenty minutes. My younger sister is the only one who had an adult beverage a Mojito which they actually give you a choice of liquor. The food was so delicious, seafood enchiladas for sis #1, flautas (to-go) for my cuando, chicken enchiladas for sis #2 and I tried the spinach enchiladas, which was a big deal cause I'm very picky about those! Everything was cooked perfectly and they let you choose the "sauce" for your enchiladas from a list that will make anyone happy. The spinach enchiladas were served in corn tortillas (not a huge fan, but was still very happy and VERY full when we left. The charro beans were very good and (this is for the vegetarians out there) they do have some sausage in them!!!! The rice was scrumptious as well. read more

Solid TexMex restaurant with a fun atmosphere. The food isn't as good as other restaurants in the area but is good. Service is always friendly and speedy. Never typically disappointed when leaving and recommend for some happy hour fun after work! read more

Tried the flautas and they were just okay--nothing that really stood out. Overall, the food didn't impress me and I wouldn't go back for it. I also ordered a passionfruit margarita. It definitely didn't lack alcohol, but I couldn't taste any passionfruit, which was disappointing. That said, our waitress was very nice and the ambiance was inviting, which made the experience better. Just didn't quite hit the mark for me overall. read more

When this was in the old spot with the old name it was pretty tasty. For some reason every time we have been since it has moved something just isn't great. The enchiladas were ok. The fajitas were ok. Salsa ok. Nothing makes me go wow it's so tasty or the food is great quality, it's all just ok. Service is questionable/slow but what's weird is food comes out super fast every-time. If you're drinking a few margaritas I can understand how you might rate it higher but with some other higher quality texmex in the area. I think we are skipping this place next time. read more

Cenas Kitchen - Shrimp Taco with small margarita. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went on Friday 8-22-25. 615pm Did not have to wait long , server was Jayda's M, was patient and efficient. A TexMex restaurant should never run out of frozen margaritas, especially on a Friday evening, we were disappointed with that and my entree was Spinach enchiladas with tomatillo sauce, It was so smothered with your sauce could hardly taste the spinach, disappointed with that. There are so many TexMex restaurants in town with the same entree it really should be better! Will not be a frequent patron, this is my 3 rd time disappointed! Staff was nice. read more

The fajita was a good and tender, what made this review 3 stars, was service and the tortilla soup.

Great food. Waitress Yadira was excellent. Sure checked up on is frequently. Awesome experience!

Service is good The inside is very hot and humid. It was miserable to eat and sweat!!! The red hot sauce....well I've have had better. Taste like tomato sauce with a hint of cilantro, no spice 3/5 Green sauce is decent, no spice 3/5 Street taco sauce had some spice 5/5 Houses marg I got half frozen and half on the rocks. Was good for a $3.5 margarita. Not strong at all though. 3.5/5 Perfect margarita was not good. It was served with all the ice melted because it was so hot, we had to add more ice which melted. 2/5 Cilantro rice 2/5 Charro beans are good and have spice5/5 Sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo bowl was served room temp and not cold 1/5 Chicken fajitas- had really good flavor and they where tender and juicy 4/5 (needed bell peppers and not just onions.....cheap on their part!) Flour tortillas 4/5 Beef fajitas enchiladas- meat was tender but the lime that is was good in was very over powering and you could really taste the enchilada sauce. However the sauce by its self was good 4/5 I do recommend this place but maybe order your food to go because it's so hot inside read more
