Molina's Cantina
Tex-Mex Cantina
A Tex-Mex cantina where half the menu is named after actual customers, which makes ordering feel like reading a very cheesy yearbook. The Berlys Burrito comes smothered in chili con carne, and the plates are built for people who skipped lunch on purpose. It's casual, sauce-forward, and old-school Houston, with margaritas that have won local best-of lists and tend to arrive before you've finished sitting down.

Berlys Burrito
“Diners can enjoy menu staples that Molina's has served since the 1970s, including the customer-inspired Berlys Burrito, which is loaded with beef or chicken fajita and smothered in chili con carne.”
Houstonia -
Williams Special
“the Williams Special, a hefty portion of tender carne asada, grilled onions, and two enchiladas topped with a special sauce and Chihuahua cheese.”
Houstonia -
Nancy Ames' Nachos
“The go-to order here is Nancy Ames’ Nachos (named after a local singer and broadcaster), which stacks everything neatly on each individual chip, so every bite is perfectly engineered with ground beef, refried beans, and guacamole.”
The Infatuation -
Cancun shrimp platter
“And the Cancun shrimp platter marries East Texas spices with bacon and jalapeño, served on a sizzling cast iron skillet with ungodly amounts of butter.”
