Rooftop seating
Jessica E.

The vibe here was fun but the prices were scary. We opted for the rooftop lounge and loved that there was a live band. The weather was great and the company was as well. The server we got was SOOOOO SLOW. We ended up getting up and getting our drinks and food at the bar. He would walk by us and we would have almost physically grab him to get him to take our order. When i closed out he stood over me and watch and gave attitude when he saw I was not tipping. I tipped the bartender because he was nice and gave us our things in a timely manner. The food was ok. Your typical Tex Mex. The quesadillas had way too much cheese. Yes I know, I know quesadillas have cheese but I wanted pastor quesadillas and it had so much cheese I couldn't taste the meat. My husbands coworker had the tacos and she liked them. The drinks were pricey and tasted more like juice. I a drinker so I want to taste the alcohol. I drink Old Fashioneds and they are nothing but liquor yet they tasted weak. Not sure how they did that. I was told the margarita was good but I didn't try them. The rooftop lounge was really cute and i loved that they had a live band. I'm not in the area and i didn't like it enough to make the tip out there again.

Tacos
Rafael Q.

This place never fails to impress me. Though it might take a while to get seated it is well worth the wait. The environment is very contagious and up lifting not to mention the staff is exceptional. The food is amazing everything tastes really fresh and authentic I highly recommend the Tacos they are delicious!

Pineapple Orange frozen margarita, chips and oven roasted salsa and verde sauces. Excellent!

Late night dinner, authentic Mexican food, patio seating in La Centerra, cold drinks, and exceptional fajitas in a lava stone bowl made for a peaceful evening out. The noise of people nearby enjoying the green spaces, and others eating good authentic foods all around. Attentive service from the wait staff made all our requests easy. No rush for us, and no one hurrying us out the door gave us a pleasant experience for an evening meal.

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!

Pineapple Frozen Margarita

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

tamarind chile and passion fruit habanero large marg

I loved the hospitality at this place omg it was great. our server was very nice and attentive and since I was a first timer i got a free corn elote and it was delicious. That corn elote was incredibly juicy and the right amount of lime. I forgot to take a picture of it with how fast i scarfed it down. Any questions don't be afraid to ask they got you. Our drinks were delicious. Personally i'm a heavyweight but my friend who's a lightweight was having a grand ole time. Both margs (passion fruit habanero and tamarind chile) in term of flavor were a 9 but I preferred the passion fruit for its tangyness. The chicken empanadas were flaky, crispy, juicy and everything you could want. In terms of vibe it was perfect for a nice catchup with a friend. I loved the decor and the bathroom was clean and had them full coverage doors. Will definitely be back for that happy hour again!

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*

Churro Bites
Kevin S.

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!

Conchas
Amy M.

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.

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.

Mini churros
Yasameen N.

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!

Love love love it here! It's very authentic and cultural. Love the restaurant decor and vibe. Had a great server that gave great options for brunch. Had the tres leches pancakes and was not disappointed. Also had the cucumber popular drink, which they won an award for. It was very refreshing! Great visit.

Barbacoa enchiladas.

Had Mother's Day brunch at Ambriza in La Centerra and it was amazing. Drinks and food were delicious.

The drink selection was impressive. I enjoyed one of the many ciders available, and later stopped by the cocktail lounge for a well-made cocktail. There was something for everyone, whether you prefer beer, cider, or mixed drinks. One of the highlights was the variety of food trucks on site. It was convenient to grab a meal while enjoying the outdoor setting, and the food options added to the overall experience. I was also able to catch a game while I was there, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Between the drinks, food, entertainment, and family-friendly environment, Texas Beer Garden offers a little bit of everything. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a casual and enjoyable place to spend time with friends, family, or both. I'll be back!

Nando's Peri-Peri - family platter

Nando's Peri-Peri

Had the pleasure of dining at Nando's last night for my birthday. Upon entering, we were greeted by…read moreHolloway, who was friendly. He asked if we had dined there before, to which we responded that we hadn't. He then told us to pick where we wanted to sit, and he would follow. My kiddo picked out our spot, and Holloway handed me my menu and then opened up my husband's menu and gave us an explanation of the menu. He then gave us a few suggestions for our meal as first-timers. He informed us that we could get the sauces at a counter in the back, and we were free to bring all of them to our table to try. He then let us know if we needed anything to let him know. My husband and I decided to go with Holloway's suggestion of the Family Platter. The sides we chose were Portuguese rice, red-skin mashed potatoes, and garlic bread. My husband also got an additional side of Peri Honey Sweet Potatoes. For our beverages, we got a pineapple lemonade and Rubro Peach Iced Tea. My husband ordered through the app, and our drinks got there first, and then our food was brought to us within 10ish minutes. At that point, my husband had already brought all the sauces available to our table, and we started eating. There are 8 sauces available (I should note we ordered our chicken plain-ish), so we could figure out which sauce we liked for the future. Like I mentioned, we got the chicken plain-ish for our first time. I tried it as is and it was great on its own. The meat on the inside was moist, I personally wouldn't mind eating it plain-ish. My kiddo who is picky loved his portion and was asking for seconds. So that to me was a good sign. The skewers were just as good, obviously with the skewers being dark meat, they were more moist and tender pieces of chicken. 9/10 Garlic bread was excellent; it was crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. The flavor wasn't overwhelming nor was the bread too oily or greasy. 9/10 Red-skin mashed potatoes were also a great side. The potato skin also added some nice texture. 8/10 The Portuguese rice was good, but it reminded me of Mexican rice at a Tex-Mex restaurant. It tasted like it was a tomato paste base, which isn't my favorite. 6/10. The Peri Honey Sweet Potato was savory, salty, and sweet. At first glance, I noticed a red powder sprinkled on the top, and the sweet potatoes were cut into small cubes. Of course, the seeds were sprinkled on top with the feta cheese. It had a nice texture/ crunch from the pumpkin and sesame seeds. The feta was very flavorful; it was soft and had a more acidic taste than store-bought feta. The red powder on the top added a salty and subtle spice flavor. 8/10. Peach tea was very good; the peach flavor was strong and lingered at the end. 9/10. Pineapple lemonade was great, not too sweet, very pineapple-forward taste. 9/10. Naughty Nata was like a fusion between churro and egg tart. I got the smell of cinnamon at first, and it reminded me of a churro. The crust was very flaky and buttery. The custard inside was nice. 10/10. Nando's was a very nice restaurant to dine at; it was definitely a different experience from most restaurants as you're able to choose your seating, and you are able to get your plates and sauces and whatever else you need on your own without needing to wait for your server. The vibe is very much chill and laid back. I also noticed that everyone on the shift for last night was working as a team. There was Holloway and two other people working the front ( a young lady and an older gentleman). The young lady brought us our drinks, and then the older gentleman brought us our food as Holloway was busy with other customers outside. I loved how the menus were unique, and the artists are credited. I also liked the decoration and how there were so many bright and vibrant colors on the chairs and just all around. I will be back in the future to try more of what Nando's has to offer. Sauce reviews: -favorite out of them all Medium Peri Peri with Garlic: good, mild heat, and tangy Peri peri Medium wild herb: vinegar-forward good flavor Lemon herb peri peri mild: can taste lemon but flavor doesn't linger. Saka medium: sweet comparable to BBQ sauce reminded me of a more subtle Rudy's sissy sauce Peri peri medium: lots of vinegar, not too strong spice kinda like Cholula Peri peri hot: more vinegar-based, tolerable spice, reminds me of salsa roja taqueria Peri peri extra hot: tolerable spice just a notch up from hot, lemony and herby aftertaste Extra extra hot peri: good spicy, maybe different chilies? Most bottles had little excerpts on the back, and some even said what chilies were used to make the sauce. Also I noticed all the sauces were acidic either from lemon or vinegar. Which pairs well with the chicken.

Great place. Great food quality and flavor on baked chicken peri / peri style…read more Peri-peri chicken is chicken marinated or coated in a spicy, tangy chili sauce, then usually grilled or roasted. These folks have multiple flavor profile and sides. Very clean attentive staff. Will be back!
