First time here and we were treated exceptionally well! Our server, Miguel, gave us a complimentary order of sweet corn to welcome us! It was so delicious I will definitely order it the next time I come! He was very enthusiastic to help us and made recommendations and described the dishes to us. The place is crowded on a Sunday at 5pm. read more

The rooftop at Ambriza Katy and their incredible team made our company anniversary celebration truly unforgettable! From the vibrant drinks to the delicious food and top-notch service, everything was absolutely fantastic. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. We've used all their locations for our special events and celebrations, and they never disappoint. Highly recommend for any occasion where you want great vibes, amazing flavors, and a team that truly cares! Thank you Jacob, Lucy & Ambriza Team. read more

Decent food. Vibrant bar atmosphere but a little loud when crowded. Service was great.

After a half dozen or so amazing visits to Ambriza, I'm happy to share my love for it's Sunday Brunch with my fellow Yeeps! Truly, though, this review is only based on Sunday Brunch. I have no knowledge of their regular menu. I'm partially reluctant to call attention to the brunch, honestly, because as it stands we never have an issue getting a table. Maybe only tell your really close, cool friends about their brunch, mmkay? The staff is super friendly from start to finish. We are always greeted warmly and accommodated quickly. The owner is sometimes even roaming around looking for honest feedback from the patrons as to how they can improve (honestly, they're pretty close to perfect so we never have much feedback to give him other than to keep doing what they're doing). The restaurant itself is simply beautiful. We love looking around at the decor and the diverse seating options. Even the bathroom is cute. There are several gluten free and vegan options for those so inclined. I usually go for the barbacoa and polenta. Also, two words: Mexican coffee. Do it. Unfortunately I kicked my caffeine habit last year but just the smell of it when my husband orders it is delightful. They're located in La Centerra, so pack your patience when trying to get into the parking lot (because Cinco). It's worth it, I assure you. read more

Met up with my person for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. After fighting traffic on I-10 to get to Cinco Ranch, here I was at Ambriza! What a welcoming staff I was greeted by. From the hostesses, the wait staff and the floor manager Carlotta (apologies if I got the name wrong). Place was a bit empty normal seeing the time of day. We were promptly seated between the kitchen and the bar, hence a great vantage point of all the restaurant. Our waiter Marcel was top notch! Friendly attentive knowledgeable of the menus without pushing or trying to upsell. A very nice people's person. By the end of the visit, I was sure I was coming back. Not even having tasted the food yet, just going off the good vibes from the lovely decor reception and warmth of the place. The food made its appearance and believe you me, it did not disappoint! The street corn was beyond delicious, worth the mess one makes while eating it. Good thing the bathroom was just around the corner for a quick hand washing session. I forget the names of the dishes i ordered. Just means another visit is warranted pronto! If tou get a chance check it out it's well worth it. It's a Venezuelan fusion type of spot I'd say, read more

I LOVE Ambriza! LOVE it!! Their elotes (street corn) are legit. Every time, so dang good. Their arroz on leche...omg...amazing!!!! I've tried most of their enchiladas and super excited to know they have pan dulce on the weekends for brunch. The ambience is absolutely gorgeous. The service is always good, most of the time great. Owner is very nice and always making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. Just feels very inviting and cozy when you're there, like home. #valleygirl read more

Accidentally stumbled upon this authentic and appetizing Mexican restaurant since the original restaurant my girlfriend and I planned to dine at had a private party dinner that evening . No biggie. Though I wasn't initially in the mood for Mexican food, it quickly became a memorable and serendipitous experience. We decided to sit at the bar and order off their Happy Hour menu. I hardly remember names which is a big 'no bueno' but these bartenders were so kind I have to give a shout-out to Victor and Victoria. They checked up on us regularly but I did not feel pressured to make conversation or to order more food or drinks. We made light banter and they gave great food and cocktail suggestions on the following from their Happy Hour menu: Food: Street Corn (Elotes) - I love corn so this has always been a go-to appetizer for me. The corn was soft to bite into and the seasoning was tasty and tangy. Chicken Tinga Empanadas - Hands down, the best item on their HH menu. We ordered four of these. Flaky on the outside and juicy on the inside! Chicken Taquitos - They were a little dry but I still ate it, but would not order it again (and order more of the Chicken Tinga Empanadas lol) Tuna Tostada - I found it to be overpowering in flavor. The tuna itself was quite salty. Sadly I did not finish it and the bartender noticed and comped it to our surprise. (Thanks for the exceptional service and listening to our feedback!) Molotes - I love plantains and this was filled with chorizo so it was unique for me as it was my first time ever trying Molotes. Cocktail: I usually like to order on the rocks or neat but Victor suggested the Jamaica Mule with Del Maguey Vida and I enjoyed it. I asked for it not to be too sweet and he made it perfectly. For my next drink, I ordered the Montelobos Mezcal on the rocks and it was superb. In hindsight now, I don't think it was an accident upon stumbling here. My girlfriend and I were meant to dine there and have a lovely evening of Mexican cuisine, cocktails, and catching up too. FYI: Happy Hour is ALL DAY on Monday. Salud! read more

Usually fantastic and a 4. However, last trip my friend ordered his meal and his took forever to come out after my other guest and I. I had soup and it was mostly just liquid with very little, if any, substance. His meal finally came out and was very much undercooked meat and cold. We asked for it to be precooked. Management gave us a free desert which was nice though the whole experience with them from out of town was disappointing. read more

Great ambience and wonderful frozen margaritas. A wide selection of Mexican dishes on the menu. The street corn on the stick and the risotto with white cheese (don't recall the name of the dish) were exceptionally tasty. Our server was pleasant and took the time to explain the various items on the menu as well as the Margaritas. Will definitely return when next in Houston. read more

The food is great. The people working there was nice. The gave us free corn. Someone did splash water but other than that it was good. I would recommend this to anybody who likes Mexican food and fancy places. read more

Our hotel concierge recommended this because it was late and she said it was authentic Mexican food and she was not joking. It is amazing for your first time and you tell them it's your first time you get a free street corn and it was amazing then I got the fish tacos and the fish was fresh and crispy and and the tortillas were homemade the owner even came over and spoke to us super great service too read more

Service: top notch! All of the staffs were very attentive. Food: the pork belly in green sauce was very delicious. They let us taste their award wining drink: cucumber Serrano margarita. Very refreshing, well balanced, and one of my favorite margarita now. The seafood campachana was too overwhelming with tomato sauce. read more

Went to dinner with my GF on Saturday night 5pm . No waiting and we both had Pork Tacos , mine was Succulent Pig and hers had picked onion, both good and each under 20. Will be back . Nice atmosphere read more

Celebrated my birthday here with family. They were able to accommodate all 17 of us with no problem. The staff was very attentive from the start. Our waiter was amazing even though we were a big party he kept up and made sure we didn't need anything. Now let's talk about the food OMG it was delicious and the portions were enough to share. The only thing that I think could be different is that the mimosa could be a little less juice and more champagne. Also some place seem like the air conditioner can't keep up with this Texas heat, but this was not the case here so bring a light sweater if you get cold. Love the decor, loved the food loved the service. read more

Been here a couple times now and have nothing negative to say. We've tried a few different appetizers (the street corn on the cob is the most flavorful I've ever had and the chicken empanadas are perfect). Chips and salsas (red and green) are also flawless. I can only describe the Pastel Azteca entree as sort of a Mexican lasagna with tortillas and poblano sauce instead of pasta and marinara - it's a comforting dish I loved. Also, the atmosphere/decor inside this restaurant is really special - the owners clearly sunk time and money into the renovation compared to the place before them. Best part for last though - the service! We had waitress Chloe both visits and she was on top of everything, plus crazy friendly and gave us all kinds of detail about the menu. I would highly recommend dining here. Don't forget to order a killer margarita either! read more

Sadly, this place did not live up to all the good things I heard from other people. The service, the food, the atmosphere was just not very good/pleasant. On my first visit I was served water on a dirty glass which I've never experienced at any restaurant before. Needless to say I will not be considering this place the next time I'm in the area. read more

Today, we came during 6ish happy hour-dinner time. Hostess greed us and said, "Happy hour are only for outside patio and at the bar?" Margaritas are really good. Menus are not cheap...so we thought perhaps the food will be really good. Tuna Tostadas was drenched in soy sauce which makes the tuna too salty to eat, couldn't eat them. My friends ordered the quesadillas and tortillas was wet. Street corn is okay, too much lime juice. Some folks might like lots of lime juice on them but too much take away the flavors. It took the waiter a long time to come take our orders and distribute our bills. I ordered beef quesadillas and got home was beef enchilada. Our carry out orders got mixed up somehow. Ambiance was okay. They are super busy and can get super loud. Lots of birthday celebrations. read more

Ambriza - Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Katy, Texas

I had heard about Ambriza for years and was finally in Katy this week where there is one. The restaurant is beautiful with high ceilings, a modern design and young hip waistaff. The chips are not greasy at all and the red and green salsas are delicious and not too spicy. I ordered fish tacos which come with rice and beans. I got the vegetarian refried black beans. The serving of beans was generous. My problem with the fish tacos is that they rarely have any filling. The piece of fish was a skinny strip. That's the skinniest taco I remember having in recent years. At $14, Ambriza can do better. I'm reluctant to go to their happy hour. They have a baja fish taco for $7. If the taco is a tortilla with a minute piece of fish, I wouldn't order it. read more

Overall I like the atmosphere in this location and service is decent. They have an outdoor area that has heaters available for cooler mornings or evenings. They also play upbeat music throughout the day. I went with a party of 5 in which everyone had issues with there meal. From cheese being added when it was asked to be omitted due to lactose intolerance, missing condiments that were asked to be placed on the side, not receiving fruit and undercooked tortillas to even broken chipped coffee cups and dirty dishes. I have not seen such a catastrophe ever and will not revisit this location due to the mishaps... and it was not busy, there was "maybe" 7 tables occupied which is rare. Maybe you have better luck but my visit to this location was a huge 2 thumbs down. read more

Love this place! Great experiences so far. It's always hard to get a table! Drinks are spot on. Service is usually good. The good is always delicious. They have an amazing happy hour menu with a great selection. Their unique flavors of margaritas are great. Can't wait to try more! read more

This place is BUSY! We arrived around 8 and waited half an hour for a 2 top by the bar. I felt bad for our waiter who was running around a lot and don't blame him for fact we had to ask for silverware, tortillas for fajitas, and were delivered the wrong drinks - all of which was rectified when we told him. The food wash fresh and a nice break from the cheese laiden Tex Mex places (which I'm not knocking!). The place needs a deep clean - the pepper mill on the table had mold growing in it and the vents were caked in layers of dirt and grime. Overall - a good meal considering what seemed to be staffing issues and the need for some cleaning. read more

Mr Julio (owner?) visited a couple times, too - the street corn he rec'd was incredible, I wanted to eat the cob! carne asada tacos, house rice - all flavorful and lovingly presented. would HIGHLY recommend Ambriza at Cinco Ranch in Katy! read more

Stopped in for HH. Really impressed with the drinks, food, and young polished service staff. Will certainly be back.

I love how they decorated this restaurant! It's very lively and nice. This would make a good spot to celebrate a birthday. Our waiter Z was very informative and friendly. We started off with some margaritas. I got the cucumber jalapeño margarita that was very refreshing with a mild spice. We got the complimentary chips and salsa. Our waiter asked if it was our first time at the restaurant and we told him yes so the manager came by with complimentary elote to welcome us as first time customers! I really appreciated this gesture and the elote was delicious. I'm usually not a corn person but I would make an exception for this. We also go the tostada ceviche as an appetizer. This was pretty good but not our favorite. For our entree, we ordered the chicharron de ribeye. This was on their rotating menu. The beef was very tasty and their tortillas are so good! I recommend trying both the flour and corn. I personally liked the flour more but their corn tortilla is the best corn tortilla I've had at a restaurant in Houston. The menu here is so extensive so I can't wait to go back for a happy hour! read more

Overall- a decent first time experience. I went in around 5pm on a Saturday and it was a nice crowd, but not packed. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were all attentive and friendly. The margaritas are as good as most people say that they are! They are large, flavorful and a decent value for what you're paying. Here's what I had: Cucumber Serrano Margarita - 10/10 Elote - 8/10 Empanadas - beef 6/10 (extremely bland), chicken 8/10 Watermelon Spring Salad - 4/10 (flavor was a little flat and a lot of my lettuce was spoiled or wilted I will definitely give them another try if for nothing other than the margaritas and ambiance. read more
