Goode Company Kitchen & Cantina

We visited this location for lunch and the spot is super cute and beautifully decorated. We were seated on the patio, which has a nice vibe, but it felt a bit crowded since the tables are pretty close together. We happened to sit near a group that was extremely loud, and the noise echoed throughout the patio area 😅 For food, we ordered the tacos al carbón and the steak and eggs. I also had a watermelon margarita. Overall, everything was decent, but nothing really stood out. I’d rate the experience a 6/10.

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!

The half order of steak nachos was delicious! Our waitress was very attentive. The only down side was the music being really loud, we even had to repeat ourselves while ordering.

We had the most amazing experience at Good Company Seafood! A huge shoutout to Jorge, who absolutely made our night — we loved him! We came in to celebrate my friend’s birthday and the entire team treated us so incredibly well. The hospitality was truly top-notch. And let’s talk about the food — hands down, the best fajitas in town. No contest. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t be disappointed!
