Canyon Cafe - (713) 629-5565

So, first time I go to this Place... My first thought is Yum... since I moved to Houston I have always wanted to visit this place... So, as we come upstairs we are greeted by this very unprofessional, raggedly staff... we are seated outside, the weather was perfect! But the ambiance was very disappointing (tables were dirty, chairs were everywhere, and well it just didn’t look right)… The waiter that came to attend us seemed to be very nice… as a matter of fact he was very courteous… so our first appetizer arrived; I only have one word YUCK! Their Sonoma spring rolls had a hateful taste… Our second appetizer came and well to have asked for Carne Con Queso I kept wondering where was the “Carne…” So my companion’s plate arrived he had requested the Tequila Trout Dinner Special… OMG tasteless fish, how can you mess up a fried fish??? The rice was disgusting, and the presentation said it all… My plate arrived I decided to go for simple Tex-Mex Beef Fajitas and well… I swear it tasted like 100% Worcestershire sauce… the Tortillas were RAW and guacamole wasn’t green it was brown ,the rice was so not appetizing, and the beans… I couldn’t find them… So… I kept wondering what was good in this restaurant… As our waiter noticed our discomfort he sent the manager to our table who was kind enough to apologize and remove all the charges from our check… I would NOT try this place again… the only way you can ENJOY this food is after you have drank 2 pitchers of their so famous Margaritas!

Nice to be able to eat outside if the weather is cool enough. Inconsistent waitstaff-some are horrible-some really care and provide a good experience. Food is NOT good. I don't think it is prepared here. Maybe it comes frozen or something. Margaritas are decent, but kinda expensive. Parking can be a hassle.

Ive gone to Canyon Cafe a dozen times and have always left 100% satisfied. The service is always wonderful and enjoy the rustic and woodsy environment. I love their food, its spicy, zesty and authentic. Their chips and white chocolate after dinner sticks are things I always look forward to when Im there. I like that their food is influenced by a native american flair as well. Their prices are affordable and they give generous portions. Though, eek, the tuna thing freaked me out, Im so sorry that happened to the reviewer before, yikes.
