Cafe Adobe

Address 2111 Westheimer, Houston, TX Map, Website

This is a favorite place. The seafood enchiladas (with flour tortilla) and margaritas are my favorite. Kids will love the Cheese dip (queso) beans and quesadillas. The environment is relaxed a great for families. Some of the locations can get busy towards the later dinner hour. more

Clays Restaurant

Address 17717 Clay Rd. Houston, Texas 77084 Map, Tel (281) 859-3773 Call, Website

This place is great for kids and parents. The food is reasonably good. What I like best about the place is the outside area where the parents can sit and eat, while the kids run around and see the animals or play in the huge sand area. more

Downtown Aquarium

Address 410 Bagby St @ Memorial Dr. Houston, TX 77002 Map, Tel 713-223-FISH (3474) Call, Website

My toddlers (19 mths & 3 yrs old) love it because they can watch all sorts of fish swim by as they eat. The food may not be the best but it's not the worst either. It's good enough that you can enjoy your meal while entertaining your kids. We always sit as close to the fish as possible and we can actually have an entire meal without them wanting to run around! more

Gringo's Mexican Kitchen

Address 12348 Gulf Freeway, Houston, TX 77034 Map, Tel (713) 910-5565 Call, Website

Despite the fact that they have some of the best Tex-Mex food around, they have a great kid's menu too. Everyone gets free soft-serve ice cream after your meal which is always a hit. The best part is that it's not too noisy to talk, but just noisy enough that the kids' lack of volume control is no big deal! more

Lupe Tortilla's

Address 22465 Tomball Parkway @ Spring Cypress. 77070 Map, Tel 832-843-0004 Call, Website

Lupe Tortilla's restaurants started in Houston and have stayed "small" and all are built like the original style...built in what was an old home. It is cozy for families or groups, colorful, and kid-friendly. They have a great kids menu and offer nice plastic ware for children if you forgot your kiddy utensils. The most wonderful thing is that Lupe Tortillas have a great sand lot/clean playground attached to each of their restaurants. They are easy to access for children and adults. They have safe toys and lots of room so children are happy, while it is close to patio tables and a bar area if mom and dad want to enjoy a cool margarita or a cold glass of tea while they watch...or full menu is available too. LOVE IT. We even had our son's first birthday party at one on the North side of Houston. GREAT SERVICE and lots of fun. more

The Aquarium Restaurant

Address 410 Bagby Street, Houston, Texas 77002 Map, Tel (713) 223-3474 Call, Website

They have a restaurant with aquariums all through it and a Amusement Park with all kinds of rides. They have a couple of locations around the Houston and surrounding area. more
