    Barbacoa enchiladas.
    Laura G.

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

    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!

    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

    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

    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.

    Ambriza late night rooftop

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Amazing time, Brunch was amazing and the drinks my goodness, I cant wait to come back.

    Pork tacos
    Jeremy D.

    Came here with some coworkers so we could try something new! This place did not disappoint. The restaurant is nice and has a really welcoming vibe. Service was impeccable, they waited on us like we were royalty! I just didn't catch their names, but everyone was so nice! Food was great! I had the pork belly tacos and they gave us these corns! Everything was so good! I will definitely be coming back to try more food.

    PARTY ON THE ROOFTOP!!! SO FUN!! Best music in town!! Grupo Kache y Rudy son Lo Maximo!! Service is excellent. Order the Mexican corn!

    Chicken/shrimp fajitas
    Jahnabi C.

    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.

    There is no greater feeling than walking in to a restaurant that you haven't been to in months, and…read moreseeing that the personnel has not changed (employee retention is a bonus for me!) and your favorite bartender is eager to great you and has missed your presence, and even recently thought about you - maybe thats what summoned us to go out to eat last night LOL. Dom is such a bright cheery presence and its authentic; as well as the other bar staff that brings chips, salsa & waters!! Even the hostess (no matter which of the two we've seen) is genuine about their greetings. It's a comfortable atmosphere! They decorated for Christmas - another huge bonus for me Last night, we got a marg (obviously!) and a Shrimp Botana Mix but since we have different preferences on the fried vs bacon-wrapped shrimp, yes I'm the weirdo that doesn't care for bacon, Dom suggested 2 of each to make us both happy. It hit the spot! Perfect portion to share, filled us up. It's my favorite appetizer- some nachos, quesadillas, shrimp, guac, flautas ... you get it all I'm really not sure why this place does bot have more stars !

    Went for dinner, greeted as we walked in, you know I luv the acknowledgement. We were able to get…read moreseated quickly. The server came and greeted us and took our drink order and appetizer order. We were off to a good start. I am not sure how the sections were laid out but the restaurant wasn't packed. Our drinks were delivered and then there was a longer than expected wait to place our entrees order. The server finally came back answering our questions and took our entrees order. When the guacamole was delivered to our table, we had to asked for small plates. And then we had to ask for small plates... we finally got small plates. I am guessing the manager was visiting tables and brought us a couple of hot tortillas... I thought he was going to make small talk with us but he didn't. Our entrees were delivered to the table, one order was missing ranchero beans, so we asked for ranchero beans and the server asked if it was ok to bring out another set of rice and beans. To which was replied, yes. Another dinning companion asked for another fork because the fork was dirty. The server said ok. Then we asked for the beans and the fork. Then we asked for the beans and the fork. The server replied the forks are up front and she went up front and brought back the wrapped flatware set. Then we waited.. the server came by and asked if we need refills then brought the refills and we asked about the beans. The server walked away. And then came back with the beans. 2 observations, 1. why did the server always reach across the table to serve people plates instead of walking to the other side of the table? 2. Why did the server never apologize for forgetting things we asked for? The service just went downhill, I don't expect perfection but I do hope for courtesy service. Maybe it is time for more training. The food... The guacamole was very good. The chips were crispy, nice crunch and held up to the guacamole. The chicken enchiladas with mole sauce was meh. The chicken did not have a lot of flavor. Too bad the chicken wasn't cooked in the sauce or braised in the sauce. Disappointed.
