The fried rice was a 10/10 (they put shrimp in it). Egg rolls were a 8.5/10. The chicken was a 7.5/10. Id say the sea food here is a better option. I wish I had a photo to show the fried shrimp I also got along with this meal but it was too good I forgot about taking a photo. Really great place though!

I will forever be a friend of mambo seafood. Some of the best food you can get in Houston Texas…read more Their fish and shrimp are made to perfection and always fresh and full of flavor. Also, you cannot go wrong with the mambo fried rice. It's literally the best. To make it extra special put some of that hot habanero sauce on it and man you're talking about you got a great meal. Also, the pricing here is great. Where can you get a meal for lunch for around $10? Such a great value in my opinion. Also, recently they started up a loyalty program, which I think is amazing I come here all the time and I will absolutely take advantage of this. The service is usually really fast too. They'll get you in and out of here in like 15 or 20 minutes. All of their locations are consistently really good. Easy five star review.

The portion was generous, which wins me over. My cappuccino was perfect. Left there full and happy : ) Was told there will be a second location of Cochinita opening in the Northside area so that will be closer for me, yay!

Had a random weekday off and decided to have brunch with friends and knock off a place on our…read morefoodie list. Cochinita & Co caught my attention because of owner and chef Victoria Elizondo who was a James Beard semifinalist, Culture Map chef of the year and her restaurant was ranked as one of the top 100 in Houston. The restaurant is located near EaDo and is easy to find. It's in a small strip of businesses so parking can be tight when it's busy. We came with about 30 minutes left for breakfast before they rolled out their lunch menu. There was a few tables of people enjoying their breakfast, but the place got really busy about an hour into lunch. Customer service was great. I needed help making some ordering decisions and the staff steered me in the right direction. I specifically came for breakfast. I started off with an iced Horchata Latte. This drink was excellent. You got all the flavors of a traditional horchata with the cinnamon while still having the coffee flavor present. It was a very well balanced drink. For my entree I went with their popular chilaquiles. They said this is their number one seller for breakfast and I could totally see why. I went with the red chile salsa for the spicy version, but you can also get it with a salsa verde. It comes with black beans, fried egg (you can request a different cook if you desire), crema, queso fresco and green onions. You can add a protein for an additional charge. I added chorizo to mine. Chilaquiles is not something I ever order but I had to try it here. I am so glad I went out of my comfort zone because this dish was amazing. Now I've had bites here and there of chilaquiles but was never blown away, hence me not ordering it. The chips were coated throughout and kept it's crunch through the whole meal. All the components of the dish worked in perfect harmony. I liked mine with the chorizo addition. The egg was nice and runny and I would consider adding another egg next time. It was a generous portion and a heavy meal, but I powered through the whole thing because it was so good. They had a nice display of baked goods and I could not pass up the pretty cinnamon roll. I got the last one and it looked very promising. It ended up being just ok. They served it room temp so it ate very dry. It would have been good if it was heated up and gooey. We ended up wasting most of it. Overall, this visit was long overdue but worth the wait. I'm still thinking about the chilaquiles a week later. I will most definitely be back to check out more of their menu.

This is one of the newer Saltgrass Steak Houses, now located in Gulf Gate…read more Although the downtown convention center location is waaaay closer for us, dealing with paid parking or convention crowds isn't worth it...unless we MetroRail, but that's a whole other adventure I'm not always willing to take. We've been to this location SO many times now. The staff of young servers are all great. I think we almost always get Devon or Christian (hey, guys!). And they have to put up with my partner's lame dad jokes. :) I always get the salmon and veggies. Beau likes their prime rib on Saturday and Sunday (it runs out though!). Don't fill up on their bread. Or their salads... save room for cheesecake, y'all. This location has a very large private dining room, a bar area, main dining, and outside patio. And plenty o' parking.

We went here with my parents for dinner and a couple of drinks, hoping to have a relaxing and…read moreenjoyable evening. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. We sat at a table in the bar area, which wasn't particularly busy. There were still several open tables and plenty of room at the bar. We ordered a couple of draft beers and a frozen margarita, and somehow it took about 15 minutes just to get our drinks. To make matters worse, the drinks were wrong. The margarita was served on the rocks even though we specifically ordered it frozen, and when we questioned it, there was an argument about what we had ordered. The tall draft beer we ordered came out as a short. The waitress who took our order wasn't the person who delivered it, so apparently no one was checking the order before bringing it to the table. I also ordered soup and a salad and never received my soup at all. Throughout the evening, we had to repeatedly try to flag down a server whenever we needed anything. Once we finally got someone's attention, it would take another 10-15 minutes to get a drink or whatever we were requesting. It was incredibly frustrating and completely took away from what should have been a relaxing night out. We've been to other locations and have never experienced this level of poor service. I also remember that when we first started coming here, a manager would regularly come by to check on the tables and make sure everything was going well. That no longer seems to happen, and unfortunately, based on this experience, I can understand why. This location really needs to focus on properly training its servers to know what they are serving and making sure orders are being checked before they reach the table. The bar service also needs some serious attention. Taking 15 minutes to pour a draft beer or serve a frozen margarita that is already prepared is simply unacceptable, especially when the bar area isn't even busy. It's frustrating because this location is only a 3-minute drive from us, but after this experience, I'd rather drive 20 minutes to another location just to receive decent service. Hopefully management takes this feedback seriously because the food and drinks are enjoyable when the service is actually there. We just shouldn't have to spend the entire evening trying to get someone's attention.

I can confidently say that my order was freshly made and was still indeed warm when it arrived. The sauce was nice and creamy and paired well with the fettuccine noodles and diced grilled chicken. The portion of the pasta was satisfying and was enough for me to eat about 4 servings from it. The ambiance of the restaurant is very lowkey and chill but nicely decorated and well lit. I would consider this restaurant and specifically this location a hidden gem.

This latest instance was a missing item in my Uber Eats order (a side that is included and not billed separately so Uber cannot refund), and I called the restaurant. I spoke to a very rude woman named Grace who just kept repeating she couldn't do a thing and it's all on Uber eats. Well Uber eats didn't forget the side to a $45 steak. At least an apology would've been nice. Oh well I have no problem finding a new place to patronize.
