Candente. A name that sounds like it could be a telenovela villain, but instead delivers bold Tex-Mex fire with a side of char-grilled ambition. From the jump, this place felt like the kind of spot where tortillas are sacred, tequila flows freely, and nobody’s allowed to leave hungry—or emotionally unfulfilled.

Let’s talk brisket nachos. Good grief. These things didn’t come to play—they came to conquer. Smoky, cheesy, piled high, and unapologetically...
The best Tex Mex in Houston, in my opinion. Fantastic fajitas and enchiladas (get the La Bandera and try one of each type and thank me later!), and the salsas are out of this world. We drive in from the suburbs at least once a month to eat here because it's our favorite!
Service was awful...on a Tuesday night. Asked for water three times and finally came 1.0 hr later to take our main course order, but not the water... Ended up just going to the bar to get water. Large group so tip was included, even though waiter was non existent throughout the night. Bummer birthday experience for Food that was great and good vibes.
Maybe more luck next time
