Here we go! Mexican flavor was the taste today. Wow! I started with a Pork Belly and avocado mix with some flower tortillas. This was so good I could have ate it as my main dish. Then I switched to my main dish which was some Short ribs en Salsa de Chiles Secos. Tender, juicy, and flavorful! My plate is clean! The service has s very nice, friendly and informative on the food and drinks. The Ambiance is nice, cool music soft lights and great views of the lake. Come and try! The Manager Andrea was very nice, checked on my table and made me feel at home. read more

The place was good, with some serious opportunities... The best part is the lovely boardwalk location! The food was a mixed bag... I had the tacos which were very well made, having good flavor, and dipping it in the red salsa was delicious. My wife had the steak fajita, which were ok, the homemade tortillas were great, lovely crisp vegetables, but the meat was under-seasoned. The kids chicken tenders were good, as were the fries. The kids burger was an epic fail, dry charcoal... As for service, we had the trainer, and she was spread so thin, I had to get my kids the condiments myself from the kitchen staff. Additionally, the churros were filled with some weird stuff that tasted awful... read more

Often visit this location and enjoy the HH meals and drinks. Most of the time the service is great have great managers who always willing to serve customers. My favorite drink is the cucumber Serrano margarita. I always enjoy the vibe at this restaurant. My favorites street corn, CEVICHE COSTENO, CHALUPITAS PORK LECHON, DINNER PASTEL AZTECA AND more! read more

If you want a good ambience and good food come to Ambriza. Their cocktails are amazing

Service here is fantastic each time we go. Recently went with a group of 12 people. They attended to us right away and had us seated within about 5 minutes which was fantastic considering it was a saturday evening. We sat outside, had plenty of space for us to comfortably sit and move around if need be. They took our drink and food orders quickly and checked on every now and then to see if we needed to order more or get refills on anything. Food came out quickly, and because it was the first time there for about 9 people in my group they gave us some elotes (super yummy). I tried their guacamole for the first time and loved it! This location on the water is really nice and I plan on coming back again. Think this was my 3rd time here. Drinks are delicious as well! I only had a drink this time but I've gotten their fish tacos before and loved them! read more

Three words: DEFINITELY worth it. My boyfriend & I came here one Sunday afternoon, and I can honestly say that I experienced some of the best service I've received in a very long time! The food was amazing, the margarita was my favorite, the service was phenomenal, and the views were everything! Okay, let's get into it. So when we first walked in, it was a little busy, but it took them only about five minutes to seat us at the bar. We sat down and they gave us chips & salsa immediately. We got their famous frozen margarita and it was delicious!!! Then they had an open table outside so we moved. The view is everything outside!! Right on the water & service was so quick & prompt. We got the street corn and WOW! It's my favorite street corn EVER. I can honestly say this is my FAVORITE Mexican food spot in Houston. Vibes: 10/10 View: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 read more

I have been here on several occasions. I've never really enjoyed their food. It's the same basic meals. The service has always been ok, so I'll tip for the service. What I'm beginning to see more often is these restaurants charging you a 3% service charge for not settling your bill with cash. Rather than giving these charges back to servers and staffs attending customers, these businesses pockets these charges. These tactics make customers feel less valued and scammed. It's a poor dishonest business practice that needs to go away. Why do they feel entitled to these charges and make customers uncomfortable for paying with the standard methods. read more

Amazing! The service in this restaurant was amazing. They gave us complimentary shots and elite which was a nice touch. I also appreciated the managers for coming by and making sure we enjoyed our food. The glossers and mouthwash in the bathroom was a great touch. All restaurants should do that. Definitely would come back! read more

I like this place! I've been here a solid amount of times and just about everytime it's been a hit. I first came here with my gf forever ago, and have since been with her many times. I also put my mom onto this spot and it's now her go to for green enchiladas! I don't have a regular dish that I get as I have been trying different things. The one thing we all like is their elote so that will definitely get a shout out, and my gf has liked everything she's gotten as well as their brunch. I'm a fan of the vibes and the outdoor views too. The reason for my 3 stars vs 5 is mainly because I had a very rude waitress one of the two times I took my mom here for her birthday. I'm definitely no Karen when it comes to service as I've worked in the CS field myself plenty so I know how it is. It got to the point where I told her directly she was rude AF and went to other coworkers to get the manager which I never do. She came back and gave me some half a$$ apology about having a bad day only after she saw me surrounded by other wait staff and heard I asked for the manager. I ended up leaving before speaking to them but let her know she left a huge stain on that night. Also I think portions could be bigger. All that said I know I'll be going back and still choose not to name this waitress. read more

Ambriza, where have you been all my life?!? Don't read anymore, just go already!! The food is great as are the employees and ambience. Nothing negative to say about Ambriza. There was one guest who couldn't take a hint and kept talking to Adriana (our fantastic server) but she handled it well! Started with street corn and happy hour ceviche tostada- delicious. Then I ordered the two tacos plate where you can pick two. I chose the taqueso pork pastor and the pescado. I'm drooling as I write this! Ended with the churros. And you can't forget the drinks! I'm booking my trip back there again soon!! read more

Returned for a Valentine's happy hour pit stop. Tried 4 margaritas: Pineapple Serrano Passion Fruit Habanero Cucumber Serrano Watermelon (But can't remember if it was Serrano or Habanero) All were very good but I think the cucumber Serrano took the win with its freshness. We sat at the bar and had a nice glimpse at the creative art that goes into each drink. I will add that JC (I think was his name) is really good with making drinks and keeping everything sanitary. Highly recommend stopping by for happy hour! read more

One of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to with incredible service. Emily was knowledgeable about the menu and provided us with great recommendations. Elote was great, and the barbacoa tacos were delicious. Love this place! read more

Met with some good friends here. Upon arrival the host was able to find us a table promptly . the Restaurant is colorful and bright in which was very attractive to me. What I remember the waiter being very attentive and the service was pretty good also. Now we ordered a plethora of food and just from the chips and salsa and drinks margaritas was pretty good. We ordered chicken tacos and the chicken, and Shrimp fajitas and some steak. read more

We here after a conference for happy hour! The prices go up every hour during happy hour so I will try to get there when it first starts. The service is amazing here our waiters name was Rodrigo! He was constantly checking on us to make sure we were OK! I didn't get to try the food here but they did bring me a sample of their Elote to try it was delicious. I came for the margaritas and I love the variety of flavors they have I stuck with the regular margarita, but I did get to try my friend's cucumber margarita it was pretty refreshing as well! Will be back to try food next time wish it was closer! read more

Walked into Ambriza and was asked if I wanted to sit on the patio or inside me and my girlfriend decided to sit outside since it was a really nice day. Our waiter came over to introduce himself which his name was Robert, he asked us if we wanted to start out with anything we were waiting for their girlfriend. Somehow they brought out complementary street corn, which was delicious. Which was brought over by the manager who looked very young, but he was very nice. I ordered the quesadillas on the happy hour menu, which was six bucks and they came out extremely soggy because the chicken had a lot of juice and explained that they serve them , not edible. The chicken Flaunta was way better and crisper. Happy hour we decided to get a ranch water which was $11. Ambiance was a really nice day outside. read more

From the moment you enter the restaurant you smell the delicious food you about to receive. Great music playing the whole time. Love the outside sitting with a lovely view. We receive great service the whole time and great recommendations from our waitress. Love the street corn! The tostones are great as well. Would recommend for everyone to try the crema poblana bowl, very rich and delicious. The tacos were good definitely recommend getting it with the flour tortillas (they are great) and not the corn. I know they make everything in house but the corn tortillas is bland and too thick for my liking. The margaritas is a must! read more

A friend brought me to Ambriza to celebrate my first birthday in Houston and we had a wonderful time! We sat outside and enjoyed the crisp air. Our server Kelsey was amazing! Her energy was infectious and she made great recommendations. We loved the margaritas. Two of us got tacos and one friend got fajitas for one. Not gonna lie, I was a little jealous of the fajitas when they arrived! Before we left, Kelsey brought out a little cart with a candle holding birthday churros! And they were heavenly! I will definitely be back!! read more

Last Monday I decided to take out my mom and sister for their All day happy hour. The hostess opens the door for us and asks if we would like to sit inside or outside. We opted to sit inside due to the rain. Our waiter was nice, and brought out our drinks fairly quickly. I tell the waiter, Sebastian, we would like an order of the chicken taquitos to start. He says that because we are not sitting outside the happy hour menu does not apply. He says that he can ask his manager if we can be moved outside. I told him we don't want to move and we did not know that was a rule. It's no where on the menu. He confirms that rule is not stated on any of their menus. He asks his manager (didn't get her name) if an exception can be made and comes back and tells us his manager said no. I personally did not like the back and forth that this situation brought. I have worked in plenty of customer service jobs when I was younger and this just seemed like a manager that did not want to be accommodating or try to make their customers happy. Especially since there was no way we could have known about this rule beforehand. The way the manager handled this was really disappointing. Ambiance was okay. read more

Excellent service!... However.... food was underwhelming. Overall experience, unimpressive. I will not return.

AMAZING! From our greeting at the hostess to the final shot of their signature Wellness Cleanser, it was an absolutely amazing experience. We wandered in for cocktails and maybe some chips but we ended up spending our afternoon there and sharing so many yummy, yummy items including some we weren't expecting. Perfect service. Lovely ambiance. You can tell the staff loves their jobs and cares about the customers. I can't say enough great things about them. Go! Go! Go! read more

The food was so good I came back with my hubby I really enjoy the chips and salsa it has a little heat to it. The first time I can I ordered the risotto Mexicano they were out of octopus so I added shrimps this dish was amazing the risotto was cooked to perfection in my opinion this is considered a spicy dish but it wasn't over spicy just right. For my cocktail I ordered the banana breeze it was just ok I was looking for something more like a piña calado and that wasn't it. For dessert I had the pan de elote not pictured it was definitely different, it's a traditional Mexican sweet cornbread pudding topped with rompope and caramelized popcorn ice cream. My second round at the restaurant for the cocktail I had the Ambriza coconut daiquiri now that's the taste I was expecting my only complaint is they could add more liquor it tasted like a shake than a cocktail. Next time I will definitely ask for a shot of rum or to have them add more into the cocktail. We also had the pork belly with homemade guacamole the guacamole is one of the best I've had it was delicious I personally didn't care for the pork belly but my husband loved it. I ordered the trio fajitas with corn tortillas and it was hot, hot came out sizzling to perfection it was very good and last but not least for dessert I had the cuatro leches with coconut and shaved chocolate, it was not horrible but I've had better. Both time My waiters did a wonderful job they kept the water glass filled and asked if anything was need both were very knowledgeable and gave good recommendations. The first time I sat outside the view of the lake was beautiful but that Texas heat is no joke. They do have ceiling fan I would suggest some misting fans or machines to keep customers cool while dining outside. Second time I dined inside much better but the bugs and flies were a nuisance that's the reason for my four star rating. Besides the flies and bugs being attracted to the food I think it was the fresh flowers on the tables as well. My husband and I will be returning for happy hour and appetizers for sure and after some time back for some more of the delicious food the portions are well worth it you get a lot of food. Definitely will be returning to Ambriza read more

Service and food are great. Price is fair as well. I have been to two locations in Cypress and close to the vintage. Both were solid. I always get the tacos which have been tasty. They also remember me and that feels good to. Not much of a drinker but folks do seem to come to this place and just hang out with margaritas. They have TV screens and are usually showing some type of sports game. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Service was off today got right in. I sat down and maybe waiter didn't know I was in her section. Maybe new to the job. The ambiance is nice it's near the water. The food was good a bit on the pricey side but good. read more

If you're looking for a place to waste your life away, this is it. We waited over an hour just to be seated--and no, it wasn't worth it. I've aged, reflected on my life choices, and nearly wrote a will in the time it took to get a table. The hostess seemed completely unfazed, like this was normal. Spoiler: it shouldn't be. By the time we were seated, I was no longer hungry--just irritated and mildly dehydrated. Honestly, I've had faster service at the DMV. Unless you enjoy staring at your phone for 90 minutes while questioning your existence, skip this place. Eat literally anywhere else. read more

This place has a great energy and vibe! Their happy hour runs until 7pm on weekdays which is really nice and has happy hour food prices as well. Our server was great and attentive. I ordered a chicken with cactus and yuca fries and it was flavorful. Cooked cactus has the texture of cooked green beans but has a slightly sour flavor to it if you are curious. There were margaritas left and right of us. I didn't get to try one, but they looked pretty good and a decent size. It was a perfect spot for a girls night to catch up and laugh without being "that" group that is talking too loud. The whole place is lively with music and people socializing. read more

Wish the price point matched the food quality. Flavorless rice, greasy Queso Horneado and undercooked flour tortillas that came out rubbery.

Went for the first time the other day and were thoroughly impressed!! Let me first start by saying come at an odd time or expect a long wait, the restaurant is always busy! Our waiter was very friendly and welcoming. He informed us they have the best Margaritas, yet we didn't try them this time. We asked for a recommendation on appetizers and he pointed us to the tostones and they were absolutely delicious! Surprisingly to us, we also got complementary street corn as they learned it was our fist visit. For our meals, we had the enchiladas Roja and pato al mole. Both exceeded expectations and were well portioned. Overall we had a great experience and will be back! read more

The decor and theme is pretty awesome and unique at this place, even down to the dresses the ladies at the front wear. Service was very good, polite, accommodating, and attentive. This place has everything going for it, except the food. We weren't impressed with the food. It wasn't pretentious or anything like that. It actually appeared to be extremely authentic food. The food just wasn't as flavorful as you'd expect. We got a huge, family-sized fajita platter that came with everything, and we also tried the elote. The best things we tried were the elote and charro beans. Yeah, I know. None of the meat tasted close to as good as other fajitas we've had. El Tiempo and even Pappasitos blows Abriza out of the water when it comes to fajitas. All of their drinks were good though. I could see this place as an awesome place for drinks and appetizers with friends or a date. We might be back to try it again, but it's not at the top of our list. It's definitely worth a try; you may like it more than we did. read more
