Bienvenidos, y'all!Inspired by long days on the Gulf, late nights on the ranch and the colorful creations of our abuela, our family's Kitchen & Cantina showcases the rich foods and traditions we grew up with on both sides of the border.Nothing matches the flavor of food grilled over mesquite. Try wood-fired Texas quail swaddled in homemade tortillas, jalapeno rellanos stuffed with house-made chorizo and sizzling, family-style parrilladas - huge mixed platters of wild game and fresh vegetables, topped with pico de gallo and queso fresco - a unique spin on Houston barbeque.Our days begin roasting chilies and tomatoes, rolling fresh tortillas in our bakery and wringing every last drop of Ruby Red grapefruit for cocktails. We hand-grind our own sausage and hand-trim every ounce of meat in our butchery, then anoint it with the savory seasonings and marinades we've honed over generations.A few margaritas on our patio and you've found your new casa sweet casa.

    We came to STK to celebrate my partners birthday, the hostess wished her which was very nice. The food was amazing, with some solid vegan options, the service was great and would def come back. No surprise it’s on the Michelin Guide The only embarrassing thing that I feel I have to mention is that we had a couple who was sitting at the table next to us also celebrating a birthday, who was wished by there server and also given a candle in there dessert, which was very thoughtful and looked forward to. After that couple left we had another couple sit down at that same table also celebrating a birthday, they were wished by there server and was given complimentary glasses of champagne. We had finished dessert at this point and my partner had not even been wished HB. Normally we wouldn’t care or expect it but to have two couples celebrating their birthday directly next to us given glasses of champagne while she wasn’t acknowledged had us leaving upset. We mentioned it to our hostess on the way out, which she apologized for and STK did reach out in Open Table offering 2 glasses of champagne very quickly to be fair but free booze wasn’t why we were upset but the apology was appreciated. Unfortunately the memory was made but hopefully won’t be our lasting impression for a restaurant that has great service and food we still plan to revisit.
