This place was as advertise, the seafood is fresh and flavorful. I recommend the agua chile divorciado. But must warn you it is spicy. The fact that the food felt so fresh and refreshing it helped with the heat. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of menu and her recommendation was spot on. The place has a nice colorful set up and we were able to carry a conversation without having to scream.
Real Authentic Mariscos are being served here. Once I stepped inside the beautiful double doors I was transported to Mazatlán, Sinaloa as the service, set up and environment was just like the coast of Mexico. The drinks, Agua Chiles, Ceviche and caldos were top tier. This our permanent "pit stop" before going to Galveston!
Fui a este restaurante porque me recomendaron mucho que fuera ,fueron muy amables, la comida también está sabrosa buen ambiente familiar,los platillos de marisco servidos y cocinados diferente a como los había comido antes ya que son estilo Sinaloa México , pero lo que no nos gustó a mi esposo y a mí que se tardaron mucho en servir los platillos y primero se lo sirvieron a mi esposo el casi acababa con su platillo cuando me sirvieron el mío yo creo que si tienen que mejorarse en eso . Por eso no les di 5 estrellas .
The food is so delicious, doesn't matter what you order they don't miss!!! The service is alright and the vibe is great! They always have music and tvs on. I recommend to go on a friday night to catch the live band!
Thought would be better. The ceviche made of salmon ' no taste. The worst they brought me the wrong food. I cannot believe I was told if they take it back they would charge the waitress. Ha. ??? We are not in Mexico. You go not see that.
Wow!! Found the right place for mariscos!! Fresh taste, no fishy taste or smell!! That's how it's done, flavor at it's best!! Not sure why such low stars because I'm telling you this place is so delicious!!! The ambiance is banda and mariachi! Loud but family, fun with a great vibe!! Wanted to dance but they don't have a dance floor lol The service from start to finish was great!! Aracely was friendly and attentive, smiling and not overwhelming when checking up on us to see if we needed something!! Everyone there has a great vibe! So much food going to tables, it's crazy!! You have so many choices and can't decide, menu is very extensive and everything looks so good. We ordered aguachile (red/green with medallones) omg!! So delicious not over done, if you know you know that aguachile shouldn't be cooked all the way, just lemon and spices/sauces and that's it!! No fishy taste, it was fresh and I was so surprised because I always end up tasting the SEA/Ocean lol and even no smell!! How tasty!! My husband ordered coctel de camarones and it was huge and tasty too! He says "I think I overate " lol no duhhh it was huge. The bacon wrapped jalapeño with cream cheese were so good too!!! Oh almost forgot, the cantaritos with tequila are so refreshing!!! Not overwhelming with tequila, it was so good and just a small one was enough for me lol Try this place and don't let the low stars fool you because this place is a gem!!
Weird to see that this place only had 3.2 stars but I think Houstonians in general don't know what good mariscos are. I'm from Mexico and I haven't found a local place that serves authentic scallops, clams, blood clams until I came here. Patas de mula, callos de acha and other clams were just delicious. I will visit again
El servicio fue impecable, nos atendieron justo en el momento en que se requería la asistencia. Huachinango zarandeado, le daría un 7/10. El tamaño fue perfecto, pero le faltó sabor. Coctel, 10/10. Fajita en molcajete combo: El tamaño y la calidad de la carne eran perfectos para que se hubiera cocinado a término medio. Sin embargo, estaba pasado de cocción, más de bien cocido, 6/10. Musica 10/10 Regresaré simplemente porque mi experiencia fue impecable. Cantarito 1 litro muy rico Termine pagando $260 mas on menos + incluyendo tip. Para 4 personas y alcohol para dos.
3.5! We come in and the music is blasting. We get seated right next to a speaker and are practically shouting at each other (important bit for later). This is definitely some people's vibe, like my parents, but not mine. Service was great to start off, we got our drinks (the marg was good though not worth $11 in my humble mango marg connoisseur opinion) and we got plenty of wait time trying to decide what to get. Then our plates came. Everything was great, portions look relatively good for the price, except the server misheard my dad's order and when we told her this, instead of taking it away or apologizing from the get go, she tried convincing my parents that they said what was brought out. After a few times of saying no, we said so and so, she took it away. Then, she came over with another server, maybe a manager, who basically told us that we ordered what they brought out. Multiple of us very firmly said no; at this point we were frustrated a bit (it was my dad's birthday (though they didn't know this) and his order but seriously, how could 3 people be lying about what we all know he ordered?) but they did apologize and brought out the correct plate for him. The server did end up apologizing herself again (really hoping that the mistake did not come out of her pay like I read another reviewer saying) and we also started to feel a bit bad for getting frustrated (cue the excessive thank you's, smiles, and nods of trying to let your server know you are actually not trying to make their lives miserable). The rest of the service was good! The rice was okay, but lacked flavor for a Mexican white rice. The Malin taco was okay as well. I had never tried that fish, it's kind of like tuna, so a bit dry in a taco for my taste. The shrimp taco was definitely the move and my favorite of the night, though still maybe 4 stars. Would I come back? Only if I had to (if my dad wants to go back).
The wait for food was about 30 minutes however the drinks were delicious so they kept us patient. The food was a solid 10/10. The ambiance is really nice so I will also say that's a 10/10. Now that price of the food is pricey but I think it's worth it. However I do see that going with a large group can easily add up but I would say it's worth it because of how great the food is. The extra fees are a little excessive but I understand that's this avoids from servers not being tipped well. Over all I would say this place is a10/10 and they can have all my money. Side note: yes there's cheaper seafood places but you can't compare mambos to this at all. Ni comparen
Wonderful atmosphere great ambiance, good food and service. The con is that they automatically charge you a tip and credit card fee if using your card. I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp which were great and the Chile verde aguachile with shrimp which were also wonderful and spicy, I recommend these. Others ordered the flautas which were ok. The Margarita drinks we ordered were weak for $10 each. They do have entertainment here but no dance space. Not sure if I would come again even though most restaurants are doing the same thing. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars.

Food was amazing! Spicy (I can't handle spice and it was spicy so be careful but it was good spice). Man the drink was delicious! Recommend grabbing the drinks! Tbh all the food was good. They had music playing as well great vibes with friends. There is a store near by so just an FYI. Sasha was our waiter and she was soo good! Very attentive and had great recommendations!!! It was our first time there. :) read more

As possibly one of the only white guys that was there, I felt at home. Everyone was very nice, the music was outstanding and the food is the best part. 10/10. STRONG recommendation. read more

Not sure why this place has bad reviews. I came, given the language barrier (my waitress spoke very little English, and I spoke some Spanish), my experience here it was beyond expectation! Food quality is amazing. I had to refrain from ordering a bunch of menu items. Takes me back to being in Mexico. I ordered pina culichi and boy or boy, was it goodddddddd!!!! I also love that when I order Jamaica / hibiscus...it was a huge size that arrived to my table! Definitely coming back here for their lunch special. Bunch of menu items for $9.99! My waitress Nicole was awesome. She was always there when I needed something! read more

They charged me up on the cantaritos drink for $60 each and they said it was $60 because it had 5 shots already in it. If there was 5 shots already in there I wouldn't had needed an extra shot and than I would've definitely been on my ass as well! Like how is that every other drink on that menu cost $10-$12 each but the cantarito drink is $60!? Like damn I was just expecting to take the cup home since they wanna up charge me $60! Than they also charge for a credit card fee of $12.17 which they don't tell you about until you are ready to pay. I also thought places took out gratuity if it was more than 6 people but as y'all can see it was only 2 of us on the receipt. So y'all make sure y'all take cash & don't get GOT LIKE ME!!! read more

Been here a couple times but recently I got hit a 600 dollar tab , never seen it coming I got lied by the waiter selling a parillada that was for 2 people supposedly but ended up being for 4 and he said I'd get 2 because it's not going to be enough food , we proceed to get cantaritos only one was premium tequila and the rest top shelf regular blanco they charged all drinks as premium. Then some singers were singing by our table we didn't call them over or anything and after they were done singing they said we had to pay em 30 each song when we didn't request songs. So in total I came out spending 700 dollars, I was a regular till that day. Never had such a horrible experience in a restaurant. Beware they will try to sneak things on the ticket. read more

First and the last time i ordered anything from this business, i ordered some food here asked for extra rice, extra sauces that im willing to pay for just make sure i get what i asked for. I came home with absolutely no sauce, no extra rice, that small little box is all that i got which was came with my (fajitas combo for 2) FOR 2! You believe that? So i called the restaurant asked to speak with the manager, all I requested was a refund for the rice that they charged which i did not received, the manager implied that i was a liar, i told her i could send her a picture so what her phone number i can send it to show proof im not asking for a discount a own a restaurant as well mistake happened but guess what? This girl got the audacity to tell me send it into the phone number im calling (the restaurant phone number) she taken me as a fool which made me more furious what kind of business practice is this? read more
