Nominee "Mandito's Tex-Mex" - Best of Katy 2026

Mandito's Tex-Mex 

About this Nominee

Texas Legacy. Weekly Ritual. The recipes at Mandito's have been earning repeat visits since the Palacios family opened ARMANDOS in Houston in 1978. The casual cantina version landed on Gaston Road in Katy, where tortillas are pressed fresh all day, beans get refried twice, and the agave spirits program runs deeper than most dedicated cocktail bars.

Five housemade margarita salts, a patio facing the Stableside green space, and a game room that keeps kids busy while parents finish a conversation. Cheese enchiladas with chili gravy, fajitas, Fiesta Boxes for the team, and a Tacosaurus Rex that makes the 6-year-old ask to come back.
