    Oysters
    Daisy P.

    I love Mambo seafood, I have been to this locations several times over the years and it is - always consistent in quality of food & oysters - always consistent with customer service - always a good experience What I order : - Mambo Special fried rice - michelada regular - oysters - Vuelve a la vida soup This combination is the best I know it may sound weird but it is so good and always hits the spot when I am craving oysters! I recommend ordering these items if you haven't tried them out yet! I love sitting in the patio when sun is setting. The inside is very spacious especially for hot summer time and humidity in Houston.

    Wow, what a great experience! We found parking very easily and our party of 6 was seated immediately. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Other waitstaff also checked in on us too. We ordered the fried shrimp plate, shrimp tacos, and mambo combo. We ate our hearts out and especially loved the shrimp fried rice! Great place to have a casual, delicious Friday night dinner with family. We'll be back!

    Crawfish Boil Bundle $24.99 Good flavor!

    As always prompt and good service! Had our micheladas, started with the Salmon bites that were absolutely delicious! We ordered the Crawfish bundle with shrimp but the size of the crawfish were disappointing! Overall great taste & experience!

    Mambo Fried Fiesta Fish Taco

    We've eaten here several times and everything is consistently fresh and delicious. The coconut shrimp appetizer and grilled fish tacos is my go to order. I usually get a topo chico chelada that I definitely recommend. Last visit, I tried the pepinada margarita and it was amazing. Not overly sweet and tastes fresh. The tamarindo stick and cucumber and jicama with chamoy was a fun surprise and of course were all fresh and delicious. Staff is always great and I've never noticed it being too loud even when packed. I love this place!

    Ordered the snapper via UberEats from this location. I took a few bites and as I dig in noticed the entire fish was black on the inside. Immediately I vomited everything I had eaten. Contacted UberEats and was only a refunded a portion of my order. Contacted the restaurant and they did not assist. I had to throw out everything that I ordered because who in their right mind would continue to eat from a place ghat clearly is too lazy to conduct QA on the foods being served. This is disgusting. Quite puzzle as to how this occurred but I do know that they just lost a customer.

    Enjoying una Mangotita!!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.

That was the right call. The campechana was the highlight. Fresh, layered, and well balanced. It felt like a grounded ceviche with depth, not just acidity. Plenty of avocado, clean seafood, good heat, and bright citrus. I would order it again without hesitation. The mesquite grilled oysters carried a nice smokiness while still letting the brine come through. The seared tuna was clean, properly cooked, and texturally on point. Service was excellent. I felt welcomed immediately, checked on consistently, and still given space to finish a couple of work calls at the bar. That balance matters when you're traveling. Nothing here felt overcomplicated. It's familiar coastal seafood, executed confidently and well. Not a destination meal I would fly for, but absolutely a place I will return to anytime I'm in Katy. Strong four star experience.

I like to write honest reviews and the reason why this one is so hard is because if I went on service alone, it would be at least 4 to 5 stars. But most of my reviews are about the food, and because of that, the best I could do is 2 stars. I do also want to mention the atmosphere. When we entered the strong fish smell was off putting. It was very strong, so bad that I should have left after the smell almost pushed me back out of the door. But I've been here before and it wasn't bad, and I was really craving some seafood to, I ignored that smell. For appetizers we ordered Shrimp Empanadas Crispy pastries packed with our classic shrimp and creole vegetables. They were eh. I mean, I ate one and that was really all I could do. My friend ate the other ones. For dinner I ordered red fish. It was NOT good at all. Had a strong fishy flavor that I don't like at all. I also didn't eat that. After having such a bad dinner experience we decided to go else where for dessert, and I am glad that we did. I would love for this to be a great seafood place because its close to me. But they've never really impressed me, and this last visit was the worst one.

Also was disappointed they didn't pack up my leftovers (got lost in communication I guess). The crab cake entree- to me the reads appetizer, which is what we did. But honestly one of the best crab cakes I've had. Sturdy breading but so much flavour and balanced well with the veg/salad it sits on. The 7 layer chocolate cake was perfectly balanced dessert as well. Not too sweet and loved the crispy/crunchy bits.

With so many exceptional and creative dining options throughout Houston, it's hard not to compare.

The ambiance in this new location is more modern and open, gives you less of an intimate setting. We were sat promptly and greeted promptly by our server. We were handed the Valentines day set 3 course menu, which was disappointing since I wanted a specific item from the main dinner menu. I chose the quail crepette. This was underwhelming. The quail was chopped up super fine and the it just didnt have good texture since it was also served with a puree. Couldn't taste any foie gras like the menu implies it had. My husband had the calamari which was the best hot item we received all night. The mushroom sauce it had alone could've been served with every dish and it would've elevated them. Onto the main entrees. I got the filet and substituted for the mushroom risotto since im allergic to shellfish. It was texturely great and flavorful but it was underseasoned, I hated to ask for salt which took 10minutes to receive. My risotto was already cold by the time. But it was a busy evening so I understand. They're probably not used to people asking for salt. My filet had minimal crust, though it was tender as expected. The med rare cook was done in haste because the middle was very cold to the touch. I wish I took a picture of it. At this point, I realized that Masraff's probably serves better non-steak dishes. My husband got the lamb chops, med rare. Im normally the type of enjoy the fat caps for any steak, and grilled lamb fat to me is very flavorful. My husband gave me a bit of the steak with fat on it and although it had great lamb flavor, the fat wasn't rendered at all and it was gelatinous. Seemed like they should've taken more time trimming the chops or spent more time on the grill to char it. The meat by the bones, which is normally enjoyable to gnaw on was entirely raw. The lamb, like the filet, had very little outer crust thats typical of a good cook on steak. The desserts were the best. The chocolate fondant was luxurious as well as the apple crumble. If they opened a dessert only store, I'd be a regular there. Dont get me wrong, its a great establishment and has been around awhile. It just didnt work for me this time around.

What started out as a nice experience turned into "meh" not long after the appetizers, which were good, by the way. When the main courses started to arrive, at least three people in my party weren't happy with their food. One sent her plate back and decided not to order anything else. After seeing that, I just went for a salad to avoid further disappointment with my own food. The bill was the next headache. The waitress seemed to try her best, but she needed help. It took over an hour to get things sorted out. There was no follow-up, no "sorry for your inconveniences," especially on my birthday, or anything. Other than the restaurant's look, the apps, and I guess the cocktails, I wouldn't recommend coming for anything outside of happy hour.
