    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!

    Chicken Tortilla Soup

    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.

    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

    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!

    Cheese enchiladas!
    Julia A.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Classic Cheese Enchiladas
    Danielle N.

    Right when you walked you can smell the flavor. The classic cheese enchiladas were so good . My bf got his enchiladas with charros beans were good just needs a little more flavor and a side of elote. We had a watermelon frozen and on the ice margaritas.

    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!

    Happy Cinco De Mayo! Met the ladies here to celebrate, & break bread…read more Thank you Jamila for selecting this original location of the Original Ninfas, to host, (our last supper, before your relocation from Houston to Florida.). A place I grew up in as a little girl in Beaumont but never have I've visit this "original" location. Stepping in to this spot felt like a restaurant in the country of Mexico. I ordered the El Henry. I absolutely loved my dish, only thing I would've chance was the cheese enchilada definitely would've swap for a chicken or beef one, or maybe even a flaunta. I really like the Mexican rice, it had little potatoes and carrots in it. Some of the best Mexican yellow rice I've had. They offer a cinco de mayo drink special. The only thing that seem to make it special was the drinks apparently were limited edition menu items. Nothing was special about the prices. The regular menu drinks were a dollar(s) less. The margarita I ordered first was peach coconut. I didn't taste the coconut at all. I swap for the peach strawberry ($14 or 15) which was great, sweet& strong. One did me just right. You get to select up to two flavors for additional $2 (for both verse each, that's a plus. Not worded on menu). If you select a third flavor an additional $2 would be added ($4 in total) I appreciate separate tickets provided after confirmation and no additional gratuity automatically added, which he got tip equally the same or more. When asked about the "empty" patio that was available, he informed us that the entire deck was reserved. Upon departing I noticed from the parking lot individual tables, of separate parties were occupying only 3 tables. It was 8 of us sitting at 2 tables. Which the table was pushed up against the wall, and one side was inaccessible, which took away spacing. Service was lovely space was really tight. Good thing some of the ladies didn't order full meals. Definitely wouldn't have been able to fit every plate.

Ambiance: upon walking in, it was chaos and sooooo many people standing up and sitting down. Walking around with drinks. I felt like I was in a club. A server made her way to me to take my Togo order. While waiting, I grabbed a drink at the bar and just made the happy hour cut off. Service was great as I was able to get my order and it was a large order. Everything was correct. The house margarita was ok, I wish I had gotten the hibiscus flavor. Order; Crab Tostadas Mixed Fajitas Snapper Mole Enchilada Ninfa 2 Tacos Margarita Mix The only thing I would order again is the crab tostadas and the beef fajitas. The chicken had no flavor at all. The charros beans and rice were not anything special. I was not a fan of either. Overall, we are not planning to order from here again. It just wasn't what Mark Weins made it seem like on his review. Also, whoever the driver was practically could not wait for me to turn around. Sorry, I had to take a pic. Very rude.

I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.
