She's the whole enchilada! Sylvia Casares is known as Houston's 'Enchilada Queen' for her award-winning Tex-Mex, cocinado con amor!
When you step into Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen, you'll feel like you're back in your abuela's kitchen. Sylvia Casares, who's known by many as Houston's Enchilada Queen, prides herself on cooking for her customers the same way her mother cooked for her.
Casares first opened her namesake restaurant in 1998, then a tiny eatery off Westheimer Road. Over a quarter century, she built a Tex-Mex empire, with two well-known restaurant locations in Houston and a signature cookbook including more than 80 authentic recipes. Casares has received countless national accolades, including being named a semi-finalist for Best Chef: Texas in the 2022 James Beard Awards and one of the "Top 10 Great Mexican Restaurants in the U.S." by USA Today.
Casares was shot in the stomach, but managed to call 911 for help. She spent months recovering, but the attack motivated her to live life to the fullest.
