I have been to Mass at Our Lady Of Walsingham in Houston once, a few years back.
It was actually the first Mass of Bishop Lopes, it was very beautiful.
I have attended Our Lady of the Atonement in San Antonio on several occasions and their Mass is equally as beautiful.
The Ordinariate was put in place to receive Anglo-Catholics into full communion with the RCC while allowing them to maintain their liturgical practices (conforming them to RC).
The Mass of the Ordinariate is my wife’s favorite liturgy in all of Catholicism (my favorite is the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom), she likes that it looks like traditional Catholicism (vestments, smells and bells) but being in English makes it easy to follow along (she enjoys the TLM, but gets lost easily), although she and I both recognize that there are differences between the Mass of the Ordinariate and a TLM.
She is of the opinion that all RCC’s should be done in the vein of the Ordinariate Mass, not necessarily carrying over the strictly Anglican traditions, just the grandeur, ornate-ness of the churches, the vestments, smells and bells, ad orientem, etc.

You should try to visit Our Lady of the Atonement in San Antonio, they have a rood screen, and it, the church and their Mass is beautiful.
