Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina - Heights

“Had lunch, grilled shrimp tostadas and combo plate. Shrimp was very well cooked and wonderful flavor. Chicken enchiladas were tasty, arrachera steak tacos were tender and flavorful. Plating and presentation was a high end fancy vibe and it was enjoyable experience. End of the meal the GM greeted us with phenomenal customer service and a great attitude and also the most unreal amazing homemade Tres Leches ive ever had. It is absolutely the best. If you come here, you cannot leave without trying it. Great lunch, food and very friendly staff and great hospitality. Great leadership from GM really shows thru everyone here. Thank you for great meal!!”

“First time here and I had a great experience. Carlos was my server and he was amazing! very attentive and friendly. The food was incredible, and the manager Michael made sure everything was perfect at our table. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Had an outstanding experience at Goode Company Cantina. From the moment we sat down, Veronica and Mariana took incredible care of us—attentive, friendly, and made the whole meal feel effortless. The food absolutely delivered. The carne asada was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the ranchero huevos were just as impressive—rich, hearty, and exactly what you want from a classic done right. Paired it all with a breakfast margarita and a michelada, both of which were spot-on and complemented the meal perfectly. Every bite was delicious—truly all delicious. This is one of those spots that gets everything right: great service, great food, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Already looking forward to the next visit.”

“Levi Goode, like his late father, has an excellent eye for design and detail and for me, as a native Houstonian, it is always such a pleasure to visit one of the Goode restaurants to see the themed decoration of the interior. Been coming to these restaurants since their incarnation, with that original barbecue location on Kirby Drive. How many years ago? Over fifty possibly? The chips and salsa were good. Enjoyed with my drink of choice, the uber carbonated Topo Chico in the bottle. Coca-Cola didn’t mess with the carbonation when they bought the company. At the Yale location, a wall with the decorative wooden plates of Michoacán. I own just one. I count 18 on one wall. But one day, when we move into assisted living, I am going to contact Levi to see if he wants to buy our extensive collection of Mexican folk art. I especially think he will love taking ownership of my collection of Huichol masks. (I hope). A person on Houston Heights foodies recommended the enchiladas saying that they were to die for and so, today, for lunch that is what I chose to have. Evaluation? The rice was acceptable, the charro beans were good, the plate was hot, and the enchiladas were classically Tex-Mex and fresh tasting. I had been worried that everything would have a creosote mesquite smokiness, but it didn’t. The beans had a hint of that creosote smell and taste, but not a deal breaker. But I had a taste and left the rest. Whereas an experience at their West Gray location was not memorable, I was pleased with my lunch here, today.”

“We visited Goode Co. Cantina in the Heights with a large group, and it was such a great experience! The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. The standout for me was the cucumber salad—crisp, refreshing, and full of flavor. Despite our group size, the service was impressively fast and friendly, keeping everything running smoothly. Parking was a bit of a challenge, so we ended up finding a spot on the street, but it was absolutely worth the short walk. A fantastic spot for delicious food and a lively atmosphere!”
