About Studewood Cantine

Studewood Cantine, located inside Dr. Gleem, offers a unique blend of street food and restaurant dining. The restaurant features wood-cooked skirt steak that stands out and is complemented by a lively atmosphere. Their Thursday all-day happy hour is a hidden gem, with margaritas that are popular and paired well with generous portions of food. Customers enjoy dishes like asada tacos on corn tortillas, mole enchiladas, and street tacos, all served with tender, piping hot, and flavorful ingredients. The restaurant is known for its great chips and salsa, considered the best in Houston, and a corn (elote) appetizer that many find delicious. Service is often praised, with attentive staff making each visit memorable. The restaurant offers a vibe reminiscent of Mexico City or Wealthy Yucatan, leaning more toward Mexican cuisine rather than Tex Mex, appealing to those who enjoy a variety of food styles. Large parties are accommodated with timely service, and the friendly atmosphere, clean bathrooms, and good music make it a place worth returning to, even if parking can be confusing.
