Escalante's Fine Tex-Mex

Located at 4053 Westheimer Road in the bustling Highland Village district of Houston, Escalante's Fine Tex‑Mex offers a vibrant dining experience that blends classic Mexican flavors with Texas boldness. The restaurant’s interior features warm wood tones, colorful tile accents, and an open kitchen where chefs hand‑make flour and corn tortillas fresh to order. Signature dishes include the famous Queso Blanco—creamy cheese blended with sautéed green peppers and onions—hand‑shredded white cheddar, and sizzling center‑cut skirt‑steak fajitas marinated overnight and served medium‑rare on a scorching skillet. Guests can also enjoy freshly ripened guacamole, house‑made guacamole, and a selection of tacos topped with locally sourced avocado and crisp lettuce. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3 pm to 6 pm, offering discounted margaritas, tacos, and the beloved queso dip. Open daily from 11 am to 9 pm on weekdays, 10 am‑10 pm on Saturdays, and 10 am‑9 pm on Sundays, the venue welcomes families, friends, and business gatherings. Private party rooms are available for celebrations, and a full catering service can bring Escalante's flavors to offices or events throughout Houston. The friendly staff, led by General Manager Eden Swenson, ensures warm hospitality, reflecting the family‑first ethos that has defined the brand since 1993. Whether you’re craving a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner, or a catered event, Escalante's delivers authentic Tex‑Mex with consistent quality and a lively atmosphere.
