Great service on our takeout order of quesadillas, queso, bacon wrapped shrimp and refried beans. Excellent food. Will be back.

I love this place. I'm on a mission to find the best nachos and I've found them here. Don't get me wrong I won't stop looking! So, the service is great here, very polite, the restaurant is clean and it can get a bit loud when busy but that's ok. Margaritas are very good and you can get them to go. The nachos are sooo good with white queso, and fresh ingredients that are plentiful to go on the amount of chips served. Love coming here for my nacho needs! read more

This place is so good and I am a fan and tough critic of Tex-mex food and margaritas! I went here two days in a row because I was having my car serviced nearby and was in walking distance to the restaurant while I waited for my car. First day I got Plato Salinas. Excellent. Second day I got Plato Guzman. Amazing. Both days I did the Gold Rush margarita with Grand Marnier or I think it's the Cena Rita. The bartender, Dulce, is excellent! Very knowledgeable on menu items, gave great recommendations, and made very tasty margaritas. If you come here and say it's not good, you're just unhappy with life I'll assume because they do not miss! The music, decor, ambiance, customer service, and taste/freshness of the food was all 5-star. I will definitely be back!! read more

I grabbed dinner to go from Cenas, and wow -- it did not disappoint! Even as takeout, everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with real ingredients. The chips and salsa were absolutely amazing -- perfectly crisp chips and salsa with just the right amount of heat. It held up really well even after the drive, which says a lot. The service was really good as the young man was so friendly. The location is convenient right off the main road in Tomball and the place was really busy. But the real standout? The chicken tortilla soup. Hands down the best I've ever had. The broth was rich and comforting, the chicken was tender, and it had just the right balance of spice and texture. If I had one tiny note, I'd say go a little lighter on the onions -- but honestly, it was still delicious. While I didn't dine in, the ambiance inside was warm and inviting -- cozy décor, soft lighting, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay a while. Everything was packaged well, still hot when I got home, and tasted like it came straight from the kitchen to my table. Cenas nailed it -- I'll definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Cenas Kitchen - To go chicken tortilla - Mexican Near Me - Tomball, Texas

This is a hot new Mexican resturaunt on business 249 in Tomball, housed in a former Applebees. Prices are reasonable, most entrees range from 12.99 (3 enchiladas) to 15.99. Complimentary chips and salsa, we liked the verde. Spacious--you don't feel crammed together like some places--assume they re-used the prior resturaunts furniture as it is quality wood and bolted to the floor . The redecoration was cool, and made it feel even more open and inviting. Service was prompt, but everyone was clearly new and so the beer came without the requested mug, the enchiladas without the promised gravy, the tortillas took the slow bus. Specials most weekdays -- Monday through Thursday. The rice was kind if eh, so I dumped them in the beans and topped the enchiladas with salsa. Decent. I think they will be successful. read more

In the middle of an online class I tried to order food via DoorDash and it wasn't the correct time I needed it delivered and I wanted to change some of the order. I called the restaurant and they explained how to go about doing that. The woman on the line was so helpful! Even though I could not add 'special instructions' through the online order, the woman helped me (multiple times over the phone) and she verbally added those instructions to my order! Salad was fresh, as always and the instructions were followed. I am greatly appreciated for her help while I felt overwhelmed trying to order food on a short school break! Margaritas getting here helped! Thank you! read more

Stumbled upon this adorable Tex-Mex restaurant in Tomball. It has only been opened a few weeks under new management. Enjoyed the Pollo con Mango. Tender chicken meat covered with a fresh pico mango and queso blanco. Loved the pickled red onion and fresh avocado. Great chips and salsas. The decor was adorable with funky lighting and memorials to famous Latin musicians, artist and leaders. read more

Cenas Kitchen is a hidden gem in Tomball! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm vibes and genuine hospitality that make you feel like family. The food? Absolutely delicious. The tacos were bursting with flavor, and the enchiladas were cheesy, rich, and clearly made fresh. Portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Service was fast and friendly, and you can tell the team really cares. Highly recommend if you're craving bold Mexican flavors and good vibes all around. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is the worst ghetto Mexican restaurant ever. Drinks taste dirt cheap. Might as well drink dish water. Food was thrown together with hardly any meat. I ate the corn tortillas. Left the rest of the slob on the plate as a freaking hint. I won't be paying for the drink. Save yourself go to CISCO'S SALSA COMPANY!!!!! read more

Great tasting food. We had the enchiladas and fajitas. Both were great. Even the salsa was good, both the green and red. Oh even the rice and black beans are tasty. read more

Such a beautiful fun place in Tomball! Gorgeous lights hang from the ceiling! Margaritas are fantastic! The staff is attentive and the food always arrives quickly! read more

So we decided to try this place out seeing all the good reviews. They really made it look different than Applebee's as that's what this place used to be. They have a lot of really cool lights hanging. Our server was great. He was informative, quick and helpful. We ordered the Plato Pancho Villa and Taquitos appetizer. The appetizer comes with eight taquitos so it's more or less a meal. The white queso was good. And the verde sauce with the chips was also one of my favorites. The Plato pancho villa came with beans. We chose the refried. These were one of my favorite refried beans. The presentation of food along with the plates they use really set the meal off. All good!!! read more

Cenas Kitchen - Food! - Mexican Near Me - Tomball, Texas

My review is based specifically on a catering order, which I requested two trays of enchiladas for a birthday I was hosting. I called ahead of time a day in advance and come to find out that there was no history of me making my order and apparently it had fell through the cracks. I ended up making my own enchiladas for the party. Would not recommend relying on this place. read more

I'm sorry. I hate giving 1 star reviews but the food was terrible. I ordered the Plato Cancun. The shrimp brochette was borderline burnt. The fajitas tasted so bland I drowned them in toppings and the rice was so bad flavor wise I didn't even eat it. The prices were good but I wish I could say the same for the food. Sorry Cenas Kitchen. I'm pretty generous with my reviews but my dinner was a total disappointment. read more

Overall food was ok for this visit. Will say our waitress was seriously lacking in the customer service experience and could benefit from additional training. We decided to give Cenas a try after coming across it on Google. Our waitress started with a pretty bad attitude when we first sat down due to her tablet not working to order. Had to repeat our order multiple times and getting attitude each time. Of course our food did not come out as we ordered but not wanting to cause anymore issues we just ate and left. Seemed as though the table next to us had a similar experience. Again if looking for a quick bite with little to no expectations you will be fine. Also want to point out wait staff do not know what is in their menu items. As a customer with a severe food allergy that was concerning so please be cautious as this should be one area all are familiar with as the question was very simple. Of note the restaurant was very clean and well maintained so that is a positive. read more

The reason I gave it 3 stars is the food is very good, but they need to shoot the bartender. There's no alcohol in those margaritas at least none that I could taste or feel fix the margaritas and you got a hell of a restaurant. This is just my opinion. read more

The food is not only good, but it's pretty when it comes out! And they give you so much, you have leftovers! And the margaritas are the best! read more

The food was extremely flavorful. We had the Plato's Salinas. It's had a tomatillo chicken enchilada, nachos, a flauta, rice and refried beans. We also had a chicken empanada. Bryan was a very pleasant and kind server. We will definitely be back. read more

Cenas Kitchen - Great meal at cenas it was very well cooked and tasty. - Mexican Near Me - Tomball, Texas

We were sad to see that name changed when we arrived. We really grew to like Aguirre's TexMex and the Friday Special. The hostess told us that the only change was the menu font. Unfortunately that was not the case. The Friday Special is now a specialty creamy seafood something. Disappointment. So we settled on our enchiladas dinners, me beef and my wife cheese. Food is always great we were just disappointed with the menu change Interior ambiance is the same, no changes there. One request of the owners. PLEASE put a dimmer on the interior lights. We love the eclectic collection but can do without the retina burns. Trim down the brightness. Still one of our two go to in Tomball read more

Great food. Quality service. Warm ambiance. Enjoyed our meal, very much. We will be regular customers.

Ehhh. Waiter was a bit inattentive. Kept on passing us with dirty plates stacked up ready for check. Margaritas were expensive and served a in a skinny tiki glass. Food was average, nothing overwhelming. The restaurant was nicely decorated with a Mexican jungle theme. A lot of better options in the area read more

So glad we found Cenas! Our lunches were delicious (grilled shrimp/mango salad for me and pork enchiladas for hubby). The portions were ginormous and the service was attentive. Such a neat vibe with all the different light bulbs. We'll be back! read more

Hidden gem in Tomball! Margaritas are phenomenal. Staff is attentive. Food is superb. In an area that can feel over saturated with Tex-Mex/Taco joints, this place is definitely on another level! read more

Excellent food. Fajitas are made with outside skirt steak which is very tender. Specials on Taco Tuesday, Enchilada Wednesday, and Fajita Thursday. read more

Terrible service and food. Not very professional at all! My husband loves Mexican food, but this is a definite no, on returning.

Andres is an amazing bartender! Place has a new atmosphere! Perfect for Monday nights for the marg discount

Visited this restaurant in the past and was skeptical since the name changed. The food is still fantastic! All fresh and made to order. Plenty of options in the menu. The best Tex-Mex in the area! The service was very attentive and she knew the menu inside and out. The decor was eclectic and fun. The bathrooms were clean and also decorated well. We will definitely be returning frequently. Our favorite! read more

I was scared entering this bar. The drinks were watered down. Did not pay attention to my professional clients. Go somewhere else

OMG! My first visit (won't be my last), the food was delicious. The portions are big, you will take some home, the service was excellent (over the top) from everyone. Ask for Yasmine, she was terrific. I ordered the soup & salad, I couldn't finish the soup & took the salad (smaller portion) home. Decor is eclectic, clean tables and floors. And an ice cream cone on the way out. read more

Food was good. Service was exceptional. Honesty was our server, and she was waiting on multiple tables, but we never had to wait for anything. We will be back. read more

I'm an OTR truck driver and was in town delivering to a farm equipment store down the road. I was a bit peckish so I asked the team there for their recommendation on local mexican cuisine available nearby. I was told that a place called Cenas Kitchen was close so I walked the half mile there. I was greeted and seated right away by the friendly hostess. Honesty (yes that was the waitress' name!) was quick to attend me and I challenged her gastronomic knowledge of their offerings. I provided specific requiremens and she happily relayed my request. I was quickly rewarded with the exact comestiblesI asked for whereupon I enjoyed a peaceful repast with delicious food and the pleasant company of several of the staff. Honesty, Gisselle and Carlos along with the wonderful food, and the brightly jubilant ambiance made the evening a hit! 5 stars and a big recommendation for Cenas Kitchen! read more

The service was terrible! Their wait staff doesn't know the menu and miscommunicates therefore the bill was exponentially higher than expected. The food was mediocre. The queso was cold and clumpy and the plates were burning hot but the food was room temp. Would not recommend going to this restaurant unless things change. read more

Hire waiters that pay attention and don't argue with customers after they make multiple mistakes, stop soaking your steaks in sour lime juice and maybe go with dimmer light bulbs it's too bright for a restaurant. If you improve I'll never be back read more
