One of the best thing about this restaurant is the service ! Jocelyn (I spelled the name wrong), took great care of us. She was very nice and attentive. This place has one of the best drinks, both of my our drinks was delicious . I'd come back here just for the drinks alone. The food wasn't too bad. It's very different compared to your average Tex/mex restaurant. *Be advised - add your name to waitlist on Fri/Saturday dinner bc their will be a 30min-1hr wait* read more

Top notch service and tasty food. Service and atmosphere: The service was outstanding! All staff members were very polite, helpful, and attentive. We felt very welcomed and well cared. The restaurant is located in the quiet Cinco Ranch shopping area. They offer many seating options inside and outside. The restaurant was clean and organised. Food and drinks: Very good selection in both food and drink menus. You can find here many traditional dishes. Everything is made fresh with locally sourced ingredients. The foods we ordered were very tasty, well seasoned with meats being tender, juicy and not overcooked. I would recommend to try their freshly baked pan dulce. They were delicious with coffee. Pricing: $$ - prices were standard compared to other places. Worth it! read more

We came here for a quick dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was solid, and everyone on the staff was incredibly friendly and warm. The margs were the star of the show. Each one we got was amazing, but my personal favorite was the passion fruit habanero one! They were all solid though, I don't think you can go wrong! The food was good as well. Nothing that blew my socks off, but was good enough to say I'd be back! read more

I had a wonderful experience here with my two friends the other night here. Our waiter was so funny, everybody in the restaurant looked like they were having a good time, and the food was pretty good now that I know what to order. Chips and Salsa - 9.5/10 Margaritas - 10/10. If you get it on the rocks they give you the rest of the drink which is nice. The hibiscus one is the best. Street Corn - 4/10. Would not get again. Cevice - 3/10. Would not get again. Barbacoa Tacos - 9/10 Carne Asada Tacos - 8/10 Beef Fajita - 8.5/10 read more

We had such an amazing food experience at Ambriza. We got lucky and didn't have to wait too long especially on a Saturday evening. The servers were so knowledgeable and proud of the Mexican heritage they're wanting to represent. As first timers, we were welcomed with the most delicious, warm and soft conchas I have ever tried. For dinner, we got the fajita, and beef quesadilla. The meat was very juicy and tender. The flavors were excellent. The complimentary salsa and chips were also fantastic. We were so stuffed. We were dining in celebration of my dad's birthday and the team came out with a churro cart and made my dad feel so special. We had a great time, enjoyed great food and can't wait to come back. read more

Place is super cute and bright, clean. Greeted when we walked in. I was invited over after a friend said they were going for happy hour so I figured why not try it. Started off with water, chips and salsa and then ordered a margarita. Eventually ordered Baja fish tacos, they were delicious and well worth the $7 (2 are given in this order, no sides). Mango chamoy margarita I got frozen with tajin rim and loved it, first time trying a mango margarita. Only negatives were it took forever to put in a food order. It was a guy going around serving water that we told we were ready to order since the guy at the bar hadn't checked on us in awhile, so he had to get someone's attention to do that for us. And then our original bartender clocked out so it was a while before another person checked on us. Also it wasn't until the end that we noticed they had purse holders to the right of the doors. 3 girls walk in with purses and you'd think they offer one since there's no hooks at the bar. I'd come back, but I wonder if I'd get better service just sitting at a table instead. read more

The food at Ambriza was absolutely delicious! We ended our meal with the mini churros for dessert, which came with three different dipping sauces--one was definitely chocolate, and the others I can't quite remember, but they were all so good. Highly recommend trying them! The atmosphere was lively and inviting. I've heard the rooftop turns into more of a club vibe at night with music, though I haven't experienced that myself. Either way, the place gives off great energy with a fun, upbeat environment and tasty food to match. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Great vibes I love to come for happy hours they have huge drink selection and happy hour food enough to get you full. I also like live bands or dj with salsa on the roof top on weekend nights! Hard to find lively action in katy this is a must do! The only reason I don't give them. 5 stars is because sometimes the service can be a little off. It may take them a while but I do eventually get what I ordered when I am patient. read more

An exceptional fine dining experience every time! We've visited twice now, and both occasions have exceeded our expectations. The food and service were impeccable each time. The fajitas are a standout, with perfectly grilled, flavorful meat that was cooked to perfection. The street corn was also a delightful treat. I was impressed by their variety of vegetarian options, which cater to all tastes. My husband raved about the enchiladas, and their cocktails were top-notch--especially the Cucumber Serrano Margarita, which was absolutely amazing. On our second visit, we tried their coffee, and it didn't disappoint--it was fresh and just as impressive as the rest of the meal. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with a beautiful outdoor view. If the weather's right, the outdoor seating is the perfect spot to enjoy great food, soak in the weather, and do a little people-watching. This place is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good dining experience. read more

I am utterly obsessed with Ambriza. What an amazing, elevated spot with incredible food and great service. We arrived and there was a wait, so we took our chances and ended up scoring two open seats at the bar. We were greeted quickly by the bartender with menus, ready to take our drink order. I heard great things about the margs so I obviously had to try them (don't tempt me with a good time) and went with the cucumber Serrano and it was wonderful. It wasn't too sweet and didn't taste like premix. Loved the tajin on the rim! I also ended up trying her passion fruit habanero which was delicious as well. I recommend trying the cucumber Serrano one first! Since it was my first time, I ended up getting some street corn brought to my table. I loved it! Very authentic tasting and fresh. For food I got the chicken fajitas. The presentation was wonderful and the veggies were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be back when I come back to Katy. read more

I've actually been to Ambriza a few times but in Cypress. This was my first time in Katy. We came to celebrate a friend of ours upcoming wedding. Overall we had a great time, management and our waitress was great. I was a little disappointed because somehow the server didn't notice my food never came out while my friends were basically done with their meal. She never came back to the table to check. I had to flag another server to get her attention. She stated she put the order in but not sure why it didn't come out. She tried putting in the order, at that point I was over it and we were leaving. She was very apologetic which I appreciate but in the future I would recommend servers to verify all of their orders came out. Just kinda sucked. I am not a huge fan of the food here but the drinks are amazing! read more

I've never been to La Centre so it was interesting to see a new side of town but Houston is very cookie cutter. Most of the same shops found here are in Sugarland, Spring Branch and Woodland city centers. So we tried a new restaurant at least. Staff was nice, didn't like the photographer walking around asking if he can take and sell us pics, the restaurant is cool but a bit gimmicky. Has casual vibes. Food was ok, just average. Overall we had an good time but definitely not great enough to make the long drive back to come for more. read more

Ohhh how I really enjoyed this restaurant! I came on a Saturday for brunch with a friend and it was a blast. I made a reservation online although it was a little tricky because the portal wouldn't allow me to select more than one person for the reservation and when I called, the woman on the phone told me I could only make reservations for parties of 8 or more. Anywho, there was still ample seating from what it appeared when we arrived around 1PM. Roberto was our waiter and he was phenomenal! He had a huge personality and was very helpful with explaining the menu and helping us decide what to order. I will say the menu was very extensive and as a picky eater it was nice to have a bunch of options to choose from! For my drink, I ordered the mimosa margarita (frozen) and absolutely enjoyed it!For my meal I ordered the Chilaquiles and my friend and I split the French toast! again everything was absolutely delicious! Like the portions were huge, the flavor was there and I the vibes were just amazing! Even the artwork around the establishment was just festive and soo cute! I will absolutely be back! read more

I have been to the Ambriza on Louetta and it was FANTASTIC. So I talked a friend of mine to go to the one in Katy with me. It was last Saturday night and it was very busy. We tried to get a seat in the restaurant or at the bar but they both had about an hour wait. So, they said they had room at the "Ambriza Lounge" upstairs. Cool!, we thought. First we had to check in at the elevator. The hostess confirmed they had seating available upstairs so she allowed us to go up. It was a huge space but still kinda early so about half empty. There were only 2 of us but they made us sit in what felt like waiting room chairs right by the front entry. It was awkward and uncomfortable but apparently all the empty tables were already reserved by larger parties who weren't there yet. There were multiple waiters milling around chatting but nobody showed an interest in us at all. Finally we flagged someone down and asked them if we could order drinks. He had to convince someone else to take our order. Come to Find out there were only 4 items on the lounge menu. No queso, no corn on the cob, both of which I had raved about to my friend but no worries I told her just wait for the margaritas. We ordered standard fare guacamole dip and quesadilla. The louetta location was really magical. The staff was so excited to be there. The elote corn on the cob was very memorable for a first time visitor. The margaritas were out of this world with a little extra sidecar for fun. You felt them right away. The Ambriza Lounge was dull, uninspired and felt forced. The menu selections had nothing on Taco Bell and the margaritas had too much ice, were weak and tasted more like Taco Cabana. Just all Sooo disappointing. By the time we left I noticed all the tables we weren't allowed to sit at were still empty. And then to add insult to injury we got the ticket and there was an option to add 3%, 7% or 10%. I already knew the answer but I asked the server what this was. Have you already added 20% onto this ticket. Yes! Was the answer. Apparently that's the deal in the "lounge" area. Unbeknownst to us. This for some of the worst service, dining experience, atmosphere I've experienced in Houston. What's so sad is yall clearly know how to run a great restaurant. I'm not sure why this Katy facility is so awful in so many ways. The Houston Restaurant market is fickle just ask the Pappas family. I may give you a third try but I doubt I'll ever get my friends through your doors again. You need to do better. There should be ZERO difference in the margaritas you serve downstairs in the bar and what you're pouring upstairs in the lounge. The menu doesn't have to be identical but it should contain a robust selection from your standard menu. To include a standard 20% tip for that experience is offensive to say the least. Good luck. read more

First time coming to location and I had great experience. Admittedly I've never been to Ambriza for brunch but I have for dinner and I've never been a fan but I think the brunch menu might be better than the regular menu. I ordered the barbacoa quesadilla and loved it! We ended up getting complimentary hot chocolate and conchas which was super nice of them. The service did great for our party of 10. The ladies were very friendly and attentive. read more

This is a review of the rooftop lounge which was a very different experience than the restaurant. The vibe was great. Latin night so great live music and space to dance. The service was a bit spotty. I think we got a new waiter who seemed very flustered and forgetful but that's ok. The not great part were the drinks. They were weak and tasted very artificial. The small notes were dry and not very appetizing. So next time maybe I'll eat and drink downstairs then go upstairs. Also only ONE restroom. Yikes! read more

Came here because we were intrigued by the clock tower outside. They have live music and dancing on the upstairs open patio on the weekends. Also have happy hour every week day. Happy hour all day Monday and from 2-7pm other weekdays with margaritas at their cheapest closer to 2pm. Thanks to our amazing server Zee who explained everything to us. He was super attentive and thoughtful the entire meal. Friendly but not too overbearing. The inside decor was lively and colorful. We sat at the high top tables near the bar. It was our first time there so a manager came out and brought us elote corn on the cob drenched with cheese, tajin and cilantro. It was so good crunchy and juicy. The extra bottle of tajin was a great touch. You also get tortilla chips with red and green sauce. Nothing too spicy and the chips were good weight with excellent crunch and texture. Then we also got 2 margaritas on the rocks. They were flavored margaritas cucumber jalapeño and passion fruit serrano. They were good and not too sweet. We shared a ceviche tostado and chicharron rib eye. The tostados were strong and didn't crumble easily with each bite. The ceviche was fresh and flavored well. Nice dose of avocado on top. The chicharron was seasoned and cooked well with some charred edges which added really good texture. You have choice of corn or flour tortilla and can get both (unlimited). There was plenty of food to share! We can't wait to come back and try more options, especially on the weekend with live music. read more

This was our first visit to Ambriza, and it will absolutely not be our last. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The host, Vanessa, set the tone immediately with a warm, welcoming presence that made us feel genuinely valued. Our waitress, Daniella, was outstanding attentive, knowledgeable, personable, and perfectly balanced in her approach. She anticipated our needs without hovering and made the entire dining experience seamless and enjoyable. The level of leadership was also evident. Jesus, the manager, was engaged, professional, and clearly invested in both his guests and his team. That kind of presence makes a difference and it shows. Santiago also deserves recognition for contributing to an overall atmosphere of excellence and care. Great food matters, but what truly elevates a restaurant is how guests are treated. At Ambriza, hospitality is clearly a priority, and it shows at every touchpoint. This was a wonderful first impression and a reminder of why exceptional service keeps guests coming back. Highly recommended. read more

Food bomb. Customer service bomb. Ambiance bomb. No complaints and I definitely will be back again.

Came for happy hour, and this place never disappoints! The food and drinks were amazing. The queso and ceviche are perfect if you're just in the mood for a couple of appetizers. The ambiance is great--not too loud or overcrowded. Our server, Eliel, was exceptional. He was incredibly attentive and provided excellent customer service. Great place! read more

Ambriza - Ceviche, chorizo queso, hibiscus margarita - Mexican Near Me - Katy, Texas

I really wanted to love this place. The ambiance is beautiful and clearly designed to feel high-end, which makes the experience feel special when you first walk in. Unfortunately, the food, especially the meat. no longer matches the atmosphere or the price point. I've been coming here since they first opened, and the quality of the meat has noticeably declined. The cuts now taste chewy and low quality, which is surprising given how premium this restaurant positions itself and how much they charge. For a place in this price range, the meat should be a standout, not the weakest part of the meal. It's disappointing because the setting and service still have a lot of potential. I truly hope management takes feedback like this seriously and improves ingredient quality so the food once again matches the ambiance and cost. read more

Came here for brunch while traveling out of town and would highly recommend to give this spot a try if you can ( would love to see their lunch and dinner options if this was brunch). Right when you walk in it's a vibrant and fun scene. The staff are dressed up and make you feel welcome, especially if you're a first timer. We got complimentary chips and salsa right when we sat down. The spot was fairly busy so took a little for our server to come by but we didn't mind since we had the chips and salsa. We both ordered drink and loved that they had my extra margarita in the mini bottle on the side for me to refill. Great flavour options too for margaritas. There was a server that walked around with a cute cart selling hot cocoa and this drink was delicious! Even on a hot day I drank it all. It was the abuelita hot chocolate with pan Dulce pastry ( that they also gave us complimentary for being first timers). Our orders were the chilaquiles and the tacos and they had lots of flavours. The food came out fast and it was a good amount with a nice ratio of meat on the chilaquiles. Pricing was fair compared to the quantity and also quality. read more

We were shopping across the street when we decided to grab dinner at Ambriza. When we walked in, there were three gals at the front who greeted us with smiles. They asked how many would be dining and asked us to have a seat while they got our table ready. They were super polite and made a great first impression. Once sat, our waiter met us with a smile. He asked if we had been here before. When we told him we hadn't, he told us what to expect from the food. We ordered the Herb Beef Fajitas. It was the perfect amount for us to share. We also ordered the Cheese Flan for dessert! There were so many more details to the dining experience that resulted in the rating! I give the food and service a 10/10! We will definitely come back! read more

I went to this restaurant yesterday and started with the mango margarita, which was very good--I ended up ordering two. I then ordered the fajitas with all the fixings. The staff explained that the food is "original Mexican," not Tex-Mex, which I understood, but I was still surprised by the presentation. The fajitas arrived in an unusual bowl with onions and meat piled on top, including ribs. It felt like the meat was being portioned out rather than served generously, and nothing was brought out on a sizzling plate, which was disappointing. While the flavor of the food was fine, for the $33 price point I felt I could have gone to Pappasito's or Gringo's and had a better overall experience--Tex-Mex or not. We were also served corn seasoned with paprika, which was nothing memorable and overly tangy/sour. Although the waitress and manager were nice, the food did not meet expectations, and I would not return. read more
