This was our first time at the River Oaks location. Fantastic service right off the bat. Amazing looking restaurant. The introductory chips and salsa were perfect. I ordered a Damn Goode margarita on the rocks. It is the best! Made with Pueblo Viejo blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, and an orange liqueur. They have indeed perfected the margarita. It took a while for us to decide with the brunch menu. So many choices. I went with The Briscoe. Two scrambled eggs, potatoes, refried beans, toast, and venison pan sausage. Perfect meal! Can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely fantastic service and staff! We were expecting a casual dinner before a movie at River Oaks Theater, but our server made the whole experience feel so polished and elevated. We loved the frozen margaritas and mezcal cocktails. The verde enchiladas were great. We decided to split an entree to order some apps and were impressed when they portioned into two plates for us. The only thing I wasn't crazy about the queso. It came with lightly puffed chips which was a nice touch, but I was expecting a little more flavor. Overall, I can't wait to add this spot to the rotation. read more

Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina - Interior - Comfort Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

Solid tex-mex food with an aesthetic and aromatic ambiance with whiffs of mesquite. Complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa was fresh and warm, a bit liquidy though. Chips were chips. Carne asada and eggs - meat was tender and cooked wonderfully. Portions on the small side. Lowkey would've still been hungry if I didn't fill myself on chips. Breakfast taco plate - tacos were stuffed and had a good balance of flavors No complaints on service. Free garage parking behind the building. FYI, have seen $100 gift cards for this place at Costco selling for $80. read more

Love this place for an evening of family fun. Great staff that is kind and welcoming!

I have an unhealthy obsession with Good Co. Kitchen & Cantina. I crave it all too often. First, it's SUPER hard to find brown/red enchi sauce that doesn't have meet in it, and theirs is meatless--and it's really good! I always get the cheese enchies, an order of queso... and a damn "Goode" frozen margarita. I think they have the best margaritas in Houston right now (up there with Eight Row Flint). And you can get a pitcher of it, too. Still a fan of the elote, campechana, and charred romaine salad. Think I'm gonna go there this weekend now... And Goode Co... how about a rewards program? :) read more

Been here twice. ambiance is fine though in certain sections when it's pretty busy it's hard to hear your group with the acoustics. the waiters were nice and attentive. the food was similar to other tex mex places. i honestly felt it was a bit more pricey than for what you are getting. i feel like other places sell similar items at cheaper prices. but overall it wasn't a bad experience. read more

A great spot if you are wanting Mexican food. Great atmosphere for an evening meal with family or friends. I was visiting my friend and she suggested Goode Co. and what a great choice. I had the watermelon margarita and my friend had the frozen strawberry margarita. Aria was our bartender and she was absolutely amazing! We shared chis and salsa and guacamole. My friend had the nachos and a beef fajitas taco. I had the chicken enchiladas. Everything was delicious! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Will be back!!! read more

I won't tell a lie, this restaurant has never been on my must visit list but im glad I did. I came for a bday celebration and it was nice. It was free garage parking. Nice ambiance. Andre was our server and he was AMAZING. Any thing we asked for we received. That prickly pear margarita and the empanadas were top of the list for me! The homemade tortillas were great too! I got the fajitas and they were pretty good. The pricing is reasonable. I would definitely come back here when in the area! read more

Walking into Goode Company, right away you feel that it is going to be a great experience. I went twice this week, first with my parents, then with my colleagues. The vibes are very upscale, but also cozy. The bathrooms were very nice. All the waitstaff have a very soft spoken professionalism to them. Biggest win in my book at a place like this is great salsa served warm. I just need them to keep that bowl full!! I am perfectly happy with that salsa and a pitcher of their frozen house marg to share. The fajitas were amazing. Cooked medium, very tender & juicy. The onions were actually caramelized. Usually I ask places to burn the onion because they're usually undercooked. I forgot this time and was pleasantly surprised they caramelized them. The flour tortillas were great. The accoutrements supported everything. I could have done without the street corn, it felt more like a cream corn than what I was looking for, but maybe I misunderstood. Overall, My parents said their place beat El Tiempo Cantina! The second time I went, I introduced my colleagues to this place. The margs and salsa were consistently good. This time I got the beef quesadillas. They were a little underwhelming for me. I probably would have like a thicker tortilla to retain more crispiness. I'll probably stick to the fajitas or trying something else. Overall I really like this place and will be bringing everyone here. read more

Went to Goode Co. Cantina for my birthday dinner with my family, and it was such a great experience! We ordered the Parrillada Familiar, which was plenty of food for the six of us. It came with a variety of meats -- 1 lb of fajitas (your choice of beef, chicken, or combo), a jalapeño cheese smoked sausage, two Texas quail, four jumbo Gulf shrimp, and 1/2 lb of pork carnitas. Definitely an interesting assortment! Not everything was my personal favorite, and in hindsight I think I would have just gone with the classic beef fajitas, but it was fun to try so many different flavors in one meal. The chips and salsa to start were perfect -- the salsa had amazing flavor and the chips were light and crispy, just how I like them. The interior has such a great aesthetic and a fun, elevated vibe. The service matched the atmosphere perfectly -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole evening feel special. We wrapped up with churros for dessert, and they were the perfect sweet finish to the night -- warm, crisp, and delicious. Goode Co. Cantina is definitely more upscale and unique compared to your typical Tex-Mex chain, which made it the perfect spot to celebrate my birthday. I'd happily come back, especially for those fajitas, chips, and churros read more

Amazing service! Our waitress was phenomenal! She was conscious of our dietary restrictions, allergies, and even preferences. The food was okay. My barbacoa tacos were good but a little fatty and greasy. My husband loved his venison sausage, scrambled eggs, and potatoes. My friend also loved her breakfast fajita plate and we all loved the salads they came with! Amazing Mexican coffee as well. Perfect for a Saturday brunch if you want some peace before the hungover crowd wanders in around noon. I love what they've done with the space that was once La Griglia! I'll consider returning for a dinner next time and see if there's a difference in experience. read more

Howdy ya'lll! This restaurant has been on my radar for awhile... finally made it here on a hot Saturday evening around 7ish pm. Ample parking, many options. Vibrant, walkable area- many other restaurants and little shops to peruse. This place is relatively new and feels that way. Modern, open airy vibe. Would be a great place to unwind after work for a happy hour type mood as well. Seated in the patio- complimentary nachos and salsa were warm-crunchy-savory-5/5 Ordered a frozen mixto marg- 5/5 Kids are picky crew who enjoyed their chicken taco soo much that they ordered a second one.... Not common considering they are picky and usually eat like birds. 5/5 I ordered the comida deluxe which is kind of a sampler of steak fajita , tamale and a chicken enchilada- Variety on this dish was great-the food was on point- tasted fresh- hit the spot kinda thing-4/5. Steak fajita met expectations and the tamale was a highlight. The 1836 salad w chicken was also fresh, crunchy, and delicious. 5/5. And at some point was feeling like i was just shoveling food into myself. I became numb from eating- bordering on a food contentment and acquired Pickwickian syndrome. Our Service was quick and prompt. Felt like they respected their patrons and the overall meal was delivered with proficiency.5/5 Overall- this is a great place to take the family. Kids enjoyed it, everyone left happy, coming back soon! read more

First time ever to visit this new establishment! I was excited to try it since I knew their taqueria has been excellent for decades. After checking 4 times by calling and asking repeatedly (yeah, I'm one of those people), I was able to confirm the cheese enchilada sauce does NOT contain any meat product! Yay for me! I haven't given up cheese yet, so yeah that's on me. Anyway, the beans and rice do contain animal products, so they subbed them for a yummy side salad that even had fresh fruit, pepitas and all sorts of yummy veggies. It was so yummy! My friend enjoyed his shrimp dish as well although I didn't get a photo. I think they were tostadas? I'm a big fan of all Goode establishments so I had no doubt this would work out for us on a first time visit. My friend is from Mexico and mentioned there is a museum in Quaterero (sp?) all about calendars. This location has multiple vintage calendars donning the walls and made for a great discovery and conversation about the decor of the restaurant! Oh and the salsa....on point and yummmmm! read more

Joel was an amazing bartender! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. He recommended the red fish tacos, and they were hands down the best! We're so glad we took his recommendation--they were absolutely delicious. Joel kept our drinks full, checked on us throughout our meal, and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. His great attitude and excellent service really stood out. We'll definitely be back and will be asking for Joel again. If you're looking for great service and the best food recommendations, he's your guy! read more

This restaurant is just MEH. Living in Houston, you can find so many better options that are more authentic and flavorful when it comes to Mexican food. I ordered a margarita in the larger glass. It was tasty and my favorite part of the whole experience I got it with tajin on the rim. I will say it does take you a while to drink as it is pretty frozen so I would get it on the rocks if you're looking for something that's not going to take you forever to drink. For my entrée, I ordered the combo fajitas they came with all the fixings, but only offered a pinch of cheese so I had to ask them to bring out additional cheese. It came with a side of refried beans and rice. I was not a fan of the rice thought. For dessert we ordered sopapillas which were overcooked. We did let our waiter know and they offered to remake or give us something else but we were already getting up to leave at that point. Service was OK nothing to write home about. Wouldn't recommend this restaurant if you truly want to enjoy your meal and experience. read more

really great tex mex in a high end setting where ambiance and service actually match price point for once. Beef fajitas are great, cooked on wood burning fire. This place and Candente are the best tex mex in Houston imo. Other places are fine but they charge similar prices with shoddier buildings and sub par trained staff. read more

Nice vibes, very good decor. I informed the waitress of my gluten allergy and they were very accommodating, letting me know what was safe to eat and what wasnt. The chicken fajitas were a little bland of course, but I'll chalk that up to the og sauce being omitted because it contains gluten. This place is on the pricey side unfortunately, and I assume it's because it's a scratch kitchen restaurant with locally sourced ingredients. Wasn't a fan of the charra beans or warm salsa. The waitress also took a little while to bring our order, food, drinks, and check even though the restaurant was not very crowded. read more

Great food, good service. Extremely loud. We try and go early 5 for dinner. Not as lively a crowd then. Be sure and make a reservation. read more

We made a reservation for 5/10/26 and they would not accommodate our seating preferences of a table. The place was 80% empty but the manager (blonde lady) refused to accommodate us even though we 1) had a reservation 2) are regulars there and go at least once a month. Many times when we go, we are only 1 of two tables. There were plenty of empty tables and booths today. So it is not like there was no room for any other reservations to sit. I noticed we were the only Mexican people there. So perhaps it is best you not go there if you are Mexican, because even if we had reservations she would not let us sit in a table. Like I said, we go there all the time and when there are no customers there they will let us sit where we want. But today not even with the reservation could we get a table. We won't be back. read more

I go here frequently and the food is great! Two issues bug me. One, the Platoes comedia is 3 $ higher at this location $29 versus 26$ at other locations why is that? Also I had ordered an extra side of beef fajita with my meal and it always cost me $15 extra which is ok but last night they charged me $20 for the same side dish. I called the manager over and she said that is always what we charge for 5oz of extra. Not true!!! She made no attempt to adjust the amount but I reflected the difference in the tip amount I gave. Considering the meal I ordered was $29 charging $20 is an extra side of beef is a bit over the top! Must be the IRAN war that caused the price to go up $5!! It's a good place but feel they take advantage a better response to my issue could have been. We are sorry for the misunderstanding of the price increase so we will refund the 5$ difference! Don't think I will not order the extra beef again as it now may be 25$! Not sure why they show very little customer courtesy when you have an issue? Considering the food here is 25% higher than most Mexican restaurants read more

Chips were thin, hot and delicious. I had the cheese enchiladas and there was no shortage of cheese. Everyone in my group said they would return and I'm very much looking forward to it! read more

My friends and I had an amazing experience at Good Company Kitchen & Cantina - River Oaks, and a big part of that was thanks to Tatiana! She stands out with her warm personality, professionalism, and top-tier customer service. From the moment we arrived, she ensured we felt welcomed and cared for, always attentive without being intrusive. The menu selection was fantastic, offering a variety of flavorful and well-prepared dishes that truly showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality. Whether you're in the mood for Tex-Mex classics or something unique, there's something for everyone. If you're looking for great food and excellent service, I highly recommend visiting Good Company Kitchen & Cantina - River Oaks and asking for "Tatiana"--she'll make your dining experience even better! read more

Great food, great service DURING our meal. We had good chats with our waitress, Brooke. Truly enjoyed everything. Lost a star when Brooke tracked my husband down on his way to the bathroom to give him her number. Bold move, just not the kind of customer service we were expecting. I guess the specials tonight included fajitas and unsolicited flirting. read more

Two words: bad quality. I went the first week. It was open and had a bad experience with the service and the food quality. I wrote it off as first week adjustments. Gave it a second shot, this past Sunday, and unfortunately, they have not learned from their mistakes. Had the fish tacos and they were Bland with zero flavor. Had the crunchy tostada, and the meat is cold and unappetizing. For whatever reason, this is the blandest Tex-Mex food in Houston. Which is a shame because the goodie company Taqueria is great! The margaritas were marginal at best . Plus, the drink service was super slow, I think the bartenders are inexperienced or they just don't know how to make a good margarita.. people were actually ordering margaritas when additional shot because you couldn't taste the alcohol. Bottom line, if you're looking for bland, Tex Mex food that caters to the River Oaks crowd then come here. If you want better food, then go to El Tiempo or any other established a restaurant with better Mexican food quality. I will definitely not come back here! read more

Ate here for probably the 10th time tonight. Not too busy Tuesday night. It's close to the house. I'm not sure I'll come back. The food is what it is, Mexican food. The only menu item I really like is the 1836 salad at lunch. Otherwise it's not distinctive. It's fine. The frozen margaritas are sugar bombs. Nothing special. Typical out-of-the-machine all sugar and little tequila margaritas. What really got me was the valet parking situation. $10 on the app + $1.50 convenience fee + tip. The suggested tips in the app are $5, 8 or $10. A proposed $10 tip on top of the $11.50 it cost me to park my car 20 feet from the front door! So I tipped $5 and spent $16.50 to get my car that was right out front. These valet parking situations are out of control. This isn't the only place. Restaurants need to validate the ticket and pay for the parking, leave the tip to the customer. read more

Great food, great ambiance. Great addition to the neighborhood! Would def recommend!

Pathetic host at the front lying about reservations at 5:15. We walked in with our 91 year old mother with a walker and caretaker and the host (some guy with long hair with a hair clip) had a total disregard for accommodating the elderly in a close to empty restaurant. They finally allowed us to sit outside instead of in the bar. Anyone who treats the elderly in this manner should be reevaluated as an employee. He also laughed as I left and pointed out that there were many empty tables at 6:30. We will not be back! By the way this is an average Mexican restaurant not a five star dining experience. read more
