I've been coming here for years for the best tex-mex flavors in the clear lake / league city / area! The prices reflect the passion and creativity that come through in the juicy and flavorful fajita meats. The best green sauce ever and the margaritas are to die for ! The service is always amazing and I always leave full as a tick for the portions they give you !!! read more

Last evening before flying out and I wanted to have some Tex Mex as my last food memory from the visit. This place didn't disappoint. The music, the lighting and the bar all made for a great setting (minus the boar heads). Our waiter was energetic and attentive and our food came out quickly. Everything was really good and the portions were large so we all had leftovers. My dad and his wife said their skinny margaritas were bitter, but I had a pineapple drink that was amazing. I wished the chips had more salt and the salsa had more spice, but really minor adjustments and I know that's personal preference. I would recommend this spot for sure. read more

Food and service and prices. This establishment serve me most likely the worst Mexican food that I've ever had and I have mixed Mexican in every southern state from California to Florida.. Their prices are extremely high. - double at least any of the surrounding restaurants with better food. Our server really couldn't care less about us as customers. I asked for the check any proceeded to get platter and clean our table and the two tables next to us. Any to there and sorted the dishes for three or four minutes by size before he carried into the kitchen. The only thing good was that he brought me in a glass of water without asking. Overall, it was a pretty bad experience for two people that are very experienced in going to restaurants all across this country and Canada. I would not recommend this. There are at least five Mexican restaurants within a mile that are significantly better. read more

We really like coming to Red River Cantina. They are definitely one of the better Tex-Mex restaurants within League City. The food and service are always good. But, let's bite into some of the specifics. Food - As most Tex-Mex restaurants do, they serve chips and salsa before the meal. The red sauce is served warmed. It is really good. You can also get green sauce (for free) if you request it. It is served cold and is also very good. We really like the beef fajitas. Most of the time, they are cooked medium to medium well. The 1/2 lb of fajitas states it will feed 1-2 people. I'll go ahead and say it was plenty for the two of us. What I really appreciated about it is they bring both of us our own individual beans and rice. That is much appreciated. NOTE: If you want grated cheese or sour cream, it is sold separately. Sometimes we order it and sometimes we don't. Today, we didn't. Combo plates are fairly large as well and in most cases, have enough food that you and your partner can split it. Service - The staff is always friendly and efficient. Like any good wait person, they will try to upsell you. For instance, if you're ordering fajitas that feeds 1-2, make sure you order "the 1/2 pound fajitas, please." You do need to clarify because the menu clearly states they feed 1-2 but the one-pound says 2-3, whereas it's probably closer to 3-4. So, if you say "fajitas for 2", more than likely you're going to end up spending more and given the one-pound order. Be clear. If you're not clear, it's hard to blame the staff because you weren't!! Like I said, the staff is friendly and does a very good job. Tip accordingly. They deserve it. Bottom line - Really good Tex-Mex. Everyone seems to do a good job. An easy five-star recommendation for Mexican food in League City. Bon appétit, y'all. read more

I had a lunch date with my son, and after many suggestions from a facebook post, I went with Red River Cantina. One post suggested the Grandioso, which included 3 cheese and 3 chicken enchiladas with combination chicken & beef fajitas. My son and I sat at the bar, and the service was great. Our eyes kind of bugged out when the order arrived. It was a lot of food. . . And all of it delicious. read more

Red River Cantina - The Grandioso has just arrived. Yum. - Mexican Near Me - League City, Texas

On Wednesday after 4pm, they are having a fajita special which is 1lb of beef and chicken fajitas for $32.95! Comes with a small queso, guacamole and pico de gallo. Also served with two sides of charo beans, Mexican rice and their homemade tortillas! Food was fantastic! I did try their house margarita which was delicious! We sat at the bar, had great service. The only downside is when you order, your food will be in front of you within 5-8 minutes, seriously, so only order when you are ready to eat. It like they rush and we don't like that. Lots of tvs in the bar area, plenty of tables for those big parties or a party of two! read more

I'll start with the Ambiance! We were guest on a large boat in the Kemah Christmas Boat Parade. The Red River Cantina graciously offered to cater dinner for us, and it was a feast of beef and chicken fajitas, rice, beans, two kinds of queso, guacamole, pico de gallo, chips, etc. The service was great as well with the food being delivered hot by the owner who accompanied us on the parade. There were a large number of boat that out did themselves with great themes and lots of decorations. What a great night! read more

We absolutely love Red River Cantina! The food is always fresh and delicious. The weekend happy hour is great. I love getting a medium tortilla soup ( which is pretty big ) and an order of the HH flautas with queso for dipping. The service is fantastic and VERY fast! We always have a drink before we order because the food is out in a snap! Margaritas are very tasty. The red salsa is warm (I love that) Make sure to ask for green sauce! Highly recommend. Their BBQ location is also wonderful. read more

Breaking news League City and surrounding areas. Red River Cantina has once again hit another grand slam. I couldn't help it. Got the itch and had to pull in for another to go order. Staff and management as always top tier service. Food that cures the cravings and delish. I tip my hat to the staff that works hard to put it all together consistently and effectively. What can I say? Another happy full customer!! read more

My good friend suggested this place. The drinks were good. Food was okay. The service wasn't the best - not friendly at all, and I usually like to keep things light. Not sure if she was having an off day. I was seated immediately, but it took a while for a server to take our drink order and our order for food. I wasn't too hungry so I went with the dip trio. The guacamole was pretty good the queso was salty and the queso blanco was good, as well. The energy seemed off here. I probably won't come again. read more

Red River Cantina - Dip trip - queso, guacamole, queso blanco - Mexican Near Me - League City, Texas

Fantastic TexMex in League City. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, however, what stands out the most is the quality of the meats used. This is not the typical thin dry meat you get in a lot of cheaper local Mexican joints, this is good quality proteins, definitely a cut above the rest. Drinks are good, service is always on point, and both the red and green salsas are great. read more

If you need to feed a lot of people, there is no better option than Red River's fajita packs. It's as if you cooked a ton of delicious Mexican food for your friends and family, except you didn't have to do any of the work. And in 45 minutes or so, juicy, flavorful meat (chicken and steak - both outstanding), onions and peppers, guacamole, salsa, queso, chips, the best beans, rice, incredible fresh flour tortillas and whatever else you want to add on just shows up at your door, ready to go. The price is right, the food is delicious, and you can add on Mexican butter. I don't know what makes the Mexican butter Mexican, or what you're meant to use it for, but we got it, and no one was sad. Also, if you don't finish it you can use it to dip crawfish later on, and it's the best. read more

The food is very good. The service was a little slow. It's a nice place to enjoy a meal.

Let's start with the service. We were seated and helped pretty much immediately with drink orders being taken. Drinks came promptly and then we were given time to make our decisions about our order. The service was great throughout our time there. Note the food! In a word....delicious! There were 5 adults and 2 children in our party. My wife and I had the combo fajitas and they were delicious! All others in our party raved about the enchiladas! The ambiance was what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. Not overbearing just nice! We will definitely be going back! read more

Great food/atmosphere. Service was perfect; I highly recommend this top quality TexMex.

I had an extensive conversation with the Business Owner about my review. He suggested he was ' in top' of the situation...that's the background to this review. I needed Queso in a hurry (lots of it) for a Cinco De Mayo party (about 50 people) on a To Go basis...reluctantly called them because they were on my way to the party...the fellow who took my order and I had a very specific discussion about the quantity and that each ' Large To Go' serving was 16 ounces...well it was not...it was 12 ounces. I brought this to the Managers attention and without hesitation made up the difference without an issue. I'm planning on going back for a Meal inside the restaurant. The owner said he would fix the problem and I suspect this manager was part of his solution. Kudos!!!! read more

A very pleasant experience...the Tortilla soup was excellent as always...and my waitress (Naomi) was very attentive and had a great personality. She made my experience at Red River Cantna so much better. She wasn't the hostess, but she even made sure I was seated. Thank you so much. read more

Great food at a great price. The high quality of food drinks and atmosphere cannot be expressed highly enough. Love sitting at the bar and just relaxing. No matter the time of day they take care of you 100%. Makenna was great today with service and just pleasantry. read more

We had beef fajitas with homemade tortillas (seasoned well) with skinny margaritas and spicy cucumber/jalapeño margaritas..everything was delicious. Fresh. The margaritas were excellent. The 2 male bartenders were friendly. The owners also own Red River BBQ that shares the same parking areas. BUY LOCAL SUPPORT LOCAL read more

We arrived right when they opened on 10/3/2023 and had a really nice meal. I wish I would have got our waitresses name, she was so sweet and attentive. We ordered watermelon margaritas, one frozen and the other on the rocks...both were yummy! We also both got burrito monterey meals...mine had fajita beef and my husband had ground beef. Both were delicious! We also tried the queso blanco for the first time and oh lord was it delicious! I have been here many times and for some reason have never tried it. I'm definitely getting it again. Sorry for the messy pic read more

Great service and food. This is a family friendly business that treats there customers with respect.

We always order fajitas to go and everything is always packed neat and meat is always cooked to perfection. Last night, we decided to dine in person. We went in, hostesses were not the friendliest and was told it will be about 30 min wait. No biggie. We waited, got the text, went back to their station and the less enthusiastic hostess asked for my name. The girl that seated us was friendly though. Then our waiter came along, he was just meh, maybe having an off day or something. We ordered chili con queso, enchiladas, fajita nachos, redfish and some drinks. Margaritas were not the best tonight and the Mexican Martini was horrible. Tx Redfish was bland it wasn't worth the $$. The kids enjoyed their nachos and enchiladas though. We never saw our waiter again until he had to bring out ticket when we asked for it. He never checked on us. Horrible dining experience :/ read more
