Fantastic night at Goode Company Kitchen and Cantina. Arguably the best Tex-Mex Houston. Food was high quality and margaritas were excellent. High light of the night though was our server AJ. He was exceptional. When we go back we will request to sit in his tables.

Everything was amazing! Valet parking was sweet and cheap. Our server named Jose was absolutely amazing. He was very prompt and we got our food in 5 minutes after ordering! The churros were the perfect dessert. Highly recommend Jose; he made me and my boyfriend’s first experience of Armandos truly amazing!

The ingredients are fresh, resulting in flavorful, delicious meals. We got the make-at-your table guacamole, and the avocados were perfectly ripe. Other examples… the charro beans (side item) were smokey and incredibly tasty. The dining area is well-lit and inviting. It’s not too noisy, so you can carry on conversations with larger groups - we had six at our table. The margaritas were also fresh (i.e. didn’t take like a frozen mix). The prices were incredibly reasonable, especially given the quality of the food we were served. A couple in our party are huge fans of Mexican food, had never been to Cyclone Anaya’s, and raved about their meals. You will not be disappointed!!

Our appetizers, the chips, salsa, and meals were wonderful and all served at the perfect temperature. The heavy cream/cilantro/avocado dip was especially amazing. Our waiter Mark, was fantastic and very attentive. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Houston! The skinnyritas for happy hour were also very good.
