Editorial Review for Molina's Cantina – by Andrea Loera
In Short
Since 1941, the Molinas restaurants have been a part of the local Tex-Mex landscape, as generations of Houstonians can attest to. The menu includes the famous Jose's Dip, a queso and taco meat concoction that goes perfectly with fresh-squeezed margaritas and the table's trio of salsas. Sample tacos al carbon, carne asada, enchiladas, sizzling fajitas and handmade tamales in addition to other cheese-laden Tex-Mex faves. The dining room isn't overly large, but the bar provides extra seating during peak times.

I was so disapointed when the Molinas on Hwy 6 closed. It was one of our favorite places to eat. We ventured out to the new place on Washington Ave. and were very pleased. We were seated promptly, the waitstaff was attentive without being clingy, My wife's Margarita was as expected, EXCELLENT. We have had some of the new dishes, but the CW Special will always be my "go to" dinner. Price is more than reasonable for what you get and the taste is incredible. If you want a true taste of Houston Mexican Food Molina's is it!!! The cheese enchilidas are great too. I eat a lot of Mex food and can honestly say the gravy on Molina's is the best! Do yourself a favor and make the trip to Molina's, drag a couple of friends along too.They'll thank you.
Pros: Great Margaritas, Amazing food
Cons: Not across the street from my house

Okay this is NOT Pappasitos, it is average Tex-Mex. I have visited the one on Westheimer and was not impressed but when this opened up in my neighborhood I thought I would try it. I had the Shrimp Quesadillas and Ice Tea. It was okay but not fantastic. The Salsa is rather strange to me, they offer two types of deep red sauce. Not my favorite either. However the service I had at lunch was exceptional. I was waited on by an older gentleman and it was some of the best service I have gotten at Mexican Restaurants which are not known for great service. The other redeeming thing was at the end he gave me a small plate of those wonderful " pecan sugar pralines". I love those and miss them at other places. I will go back again and bring friends so we will have a wider variety of foods to try out and perhaps it will be better but if its like the other Molinas the best you can hope for is average.
Pros: Great Service, Nice Patio, Pecan Pralines at end of meal.
Cons: Average Food
