Tortillas
Nicki M.

I came try out this new place and found it to be good at some things and not as good at others. Would give it 3.5 stars if I could because there is potential. The things I found to be great: Definitely love the owner comes around and is so friendly. I love the updated decor of the restaurant with bright colors. I found the beef fajitas to be very tender and full of flavor. The flour tortillas were delicious and fresh. The parts I think could be better: the salsas could be more flavorful, the queso is so plain and definitely needs improving, our server did not get our order correct and didn't come back to check on us for a long time so we ended up having to flag down the owner to help us. Lastly, we did not receive a drink menu so we asked if they offered a skinny margarita and our server said yes and brought out a huge one but then when we went to pay- it was nearly $20! I wish I had known that! All in all, I'll likely give it another go after they get through the just opening hump.

So.... I'm sitting in La Finca... Oops "La Cantina" now... I thought I'd give it a try and see for myself... Ughh... It's La Finca! They just changed the name, painted the walls these obnoxious colors, placed a battery operated light on the table and walla! I give you "La Cantina"! The food is exactly the same. Terrible... The service is exactly the same... Terrible... The atmosphere is exactly the same... Terrible... I ordered chicken fajitas, what could possibly go wrong? The chicken appeared to be precooked. The onions were burned to a crisp. The flour tortillas seemed to be homemade, but the corn tortillas were store bought The atmosphere is so weird here! It's 1:44pm and I'm literally the only customer in here! I'm listening to terrible mariachi music, while every once and a while getting interrupted by a Burger King and Auto Zone commercial in Spanish... The staff is on their cell phones, leaning on the service kiosk while watching a cupcake baking challenge on the Food Network... I look over and there is a huge disco ball spinning with a strobe light that randomly turns on... Party!! The server is spying on me while I write this post... LOL If you didn't like La Finca, then don't bother coming... My guess is the "new management" is not present or doesn't care... If my restaurant just opened up, then I would be there from opening to closing talking to customers and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Just saying... I hope that helps! Gotta go now!

The service was attentive. The Fajitas were tender and had good flavor. The green and red salsas were delicious. Their margaritas need help though. Too much sweet and sour flavor. We will be back again.

A special shoutout to Ulises, who made our experience exceptional. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and fast without ever making us feel rushed. Since it was our first time visiting, they even surprised us with complimentary corn on the cob, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was outstanding and came out surprisingly quickly. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My husband was also impressed by the attention to detail throughout the restaurant--even the restroom was stocked with everything you could think of, from toothpicks to mouthwash, which was especially appreciated after enjoying all the delicious corn and black beans! It's rare to find a restaurant that combines amazing food, excellent service, and thoughtful hospitality so well. We left already talking about our next visit, and we can't wait to come back and try their margaritas. Highly recommend!

We had one of the worst dining experiences ever at Ambriza La Centerra. After living in Houston for…read more15 years and dining all over the city, this was by far the most disappointing restaurant experience we've had. What made it even more frustrating is that we've been to the Cypress location many times, and every single visit there has been exceptional -- great food, great service, and consistently enjoyable. Unfortunately, the La Centerra location was the complete opposite. We waited over an hour for our food, only to receive the wrong appetizer. The fajita plate arrived cold and without rice, beans, or tortillas. We sent both dishes back. The replacement appetizer -- ceviche tostadas -- finally arrived, but it was overloaded with lemon to the point of being unbearably sour. Meanwhile, there were still no tortillas, rice, or beans in sight. No drink refills, no updates, and barely any service during the entire wait. After another long stretch of waiting, we finally asked the server what was happening, only for her to return and tell us the kitchen was closing and they no longer had tortillas, rice, or beans available. At that point, after nearly 1.5 hours, we walked out with nothing but a to-go box of fajita meat. To the manager's credit, they removed the appetizer and fajita charges from the bill, but the experience itself left such a bad taste that it completely overshadowed the gesture. Extremely disappointing, especially compared to the excellent standards we've experienced at the Cypress location. Sadly, we will not be returning to this location.

1 Star -- Good Food, Horrible Customer Service!…read more I visited Los Perez Mexican Restaurant in Katy, TX, and unfortunately, this will be my first and last visit. Let me start by saying the food was actually good, but good food means absolutely nothing when the customer service is horrible! Both my son's order and mine were messed up. Instead of enjoying my meal with my son, I sat there for approximately 10 minutes without eating while waiting for the situation to be corrected. Although they eventually attempted to fix the mistakes, the entire experience had already left a bad taste in my mouth. As a paying customer, I shouldn't have to deal with poor service just to receive what I originally ordered. Mistakes happen, and I understand that, but how a business handles those mistakes says everything about how much it values its customers. The food may bring people through the door, but customer service determines whether they return. And I can assure you, I will NOT be returning. Good food, terrible experience. Los Perez needs to understand that customer service is just as important as what's coming out of the kitchen.
