A pressure wash and quick table recovery/cleaning would make the experience even better. Overall, a great place for fresh and tasty seafood. We enjoyed it and would come back.

Un lavado a presión y la recuperación inmediata de las mesas harían la experiencia aún mejor. En general, un muy buen lugar para comer mariscos frescos y sabrosos.

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.

Went Friday to have lunch with my sister. Our server was Naomi. She's excellent. I give her a 10…read more We ordered the raw oysters, a dozen and the shrimp bacon wrapped jalapeños. The ambience was good and we took our plates to go for dinner. She had catfish and shrimp and I had oysters and shrimp. It was also so good. I think the french fries should be double fried though. FYI, just a thought anyway I'll definitely be back. Thank you Naomi. Ask for Naomi she's the best.

Had the Diablo shrimp, gumbo and crab claws. I liked the shrimp and gumbo, but would probably pass…read morenext time on the crab claws. Overall good food for the money and worth stopping in.

This was my first time eating here. I will say I didn't imagine a Medium size to be soo much food…read morefor me, definitely a four person meal or more. They serve you up to the brim! 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!

Okay let me tell you. The food... is damn good. My friends and I arrived right as the restaurant…read moreopened at 2 PM. The parking is a little tricky or strange. The lines are diagonal, but you actually have to park your car straight Um, the exterior does not have a sign so you may get a little confused, because it's on the corner of Scott and McGregor but there's no sign indicating what the restaurant's called, but anywho. The interior of the place is surprising it's really cute, cozy esthetic, and has a large patio, that I didn't try because it's too hot. You order your food at the bar, my friend, and I both got a moscato. And no, thanks, it is box wine, and it was flat, and it wasn't good. My other friend ordered An old-fashioned and she said, it tasted pretty good. I ordered the catfish and grits, 10 out of 10. The catfish was fried perfectly. The grits were nice and creamy I. Also got a side of red beans and rice and they were fire. Really, really good. My friend additionally got the grits with shrimp. She said it was good. Now. Would I return back to this place? Probably not. Would I order pickup? Absolutely because the the one big issue, as someone else stated, the food is good, if you can get it, it took an hour for our food to come out. We had finished our drinks and were parched. They don't offer you water because again, you have to order at the counter and the food took an hour to come out and to the point some people that ordered after us got their food before us. I think there is literally only one person working in the kitchen. My recommendation is, if you want to check this place out, come partially full and with patience or call in your order for pickup. So yes, the food is good but I will not be dining in again

Really good place for seafood and really good prices also…read more Service is good Place and is outdated but clean Ambient is good They do have lunch specials for a quick bite

I guess this is the south side version of mambo, seafood, or Connies. I guess the southside has her…read moreown version of everything in the north side. So I decided to give this place to try with my girlfriend and I absolutely enjoyed it. The food is really good. I went with my normal, two piece, fish and six shrimp and I have to say it was absolutely amazing. One thing they didn't have is the habanero hot sauce which I love from mambos. Also, I think mambos has way better fried rice, but I will give Mannys this they have eggrolls which were absolutely amazing and I've never seen any of their competitors so props to them for that. They are very tasty too! The prices are great too! Whenever I am in the SE I'll definitely give them a try. However I do wish they would start stocking the habanero hot sauce.

I went to get my…read moredrivers license replaced, and surprisingly, it was quick and painless, so with some extra time to spare, I figured I'd get crawfish before I went back to work. Pulled up my handy dandy Yelp open and what did you know 4.5 stars and enroute to my house (I work from home). The Plaza was a bit sketchy, not a lot of cars in the entire Plaza. But Yelp said it was good so I went forward trusting the process OMG!!!! First...$7.99/lb WINNING! I ordered egg rolls... DELICIOUS AND FRIED TO PERFECTION. But let's get to the real highlight of this trip. I ordered 2lbs, house special seasoning, spicy with corn, sausage, and potatoes. I could have done without the sausage. It's ok. The corn and potato were cooked perfectly. But the crawfish....OOOOOOHHHH the crawfish. Flavored to the gawds....and HUGE! Like all.of.them. not just one or 2...maybe 1 or 2 were small lol WINNING!!!! Then as if it could be any better....a nice gentleman paid for my meal and just asked that I tip the waiter. Gladly! JACKPOT!!!! GOD IS SO GOOD! Can't wait to pay that blessing forward!! Baby when I tell you I couldn't get home fast enough to post this review. Please visit if you can...you won't be disappointed. I will be back!

Get the best of both worlds here with some viet food and crawfish !…read more We ordered: I had the chicken plate and it was gooooood! 5/5 I love that it was served a small bowl of soup was served with it to complement the dish. I asked for white rice instead of fried rice. The chicken was moist and had great flavor and perfect crisp on the outside. Thit Bo Luc Lac (shaken beef) with fried rice. 5/5 I didn't try the fried rice myself but the beef was on point . It came with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime for dipping too (chefs kiss!). A few pounds of crawfish 3/5 I'm not a huge fan of crawfish off season but it wasn't bad . (Pro tip: We asked for extra sauce and limes to dip into) Service was pretty slow while the place was empty tho. There's plenty of seatings and parking was easy .

When in Thursday afternoon. The food is delicious. The waitress was Cami. Very fast, efficient…read morefriendly. The chef even came and bought us our first entrées, which was very good. The ambience was great. I love this place. It's one of the best in Houston hands-down if you don't know, you know now.

There was a pretty long wait time for this place on a Friday evening, but they do provide benches…read moreoutside the restaurant. There are also other places in the plaza to visit while waiting. The service was great and they provided the good gloves. If you know you know lol. The crawfish was also well seasoned with a nice spicy kick to it. The only down side was the mushroom.

So I eat at Shrimp Galley at least once a month and the food is good at best. Today's visit was…read moreless than impressive, not because of the food, it's because of the customer service. Customer service is the most important part of the service industry. My man called this place and placed an order for a burger. The lady said it would be ready in 15 to 20 minutes. 20 minutes later, he went to go get the order, and the lady said it wasn't ready yet. Give them 15 more minutes. So while he waited, 2 ladies went in and got their food almost immediately. Then another person went in and got his food almost immediately as well. So my man went back in and asked the lady how much longer on the burger. She told him she hadn't gotten started on his order. Mind you, he ordered the burger basket on the phone 40 to 45 minutes prior. He was getting upset and she asked "Do you want the food or not?" with an attitude. He told her not anymore, and he ended up leaving and going to McDonald's instead. I'm very disappointed with the customer service. The food is good but that attitude of that lady need to change immediately. Will not return.

It's definitely been a while since I've had Mambo but we're nearby so why not? Opted for some…read morefish, chicken, and rice. The rice is the standout here. Got the special and it's a massive portion. Feels like it weighs 2lbs. And all so addicting you really don't need anything else. The chicken was also surprisingly very good. Cheesy and tender. Helps that it comes with more rice too! The fish and shrimp were just ok. Overcooked by quite a bit, but edible enough. At least it was seasoned well. I think the service was a little off this time. We got this togo and it took a very long time to get acknowledged and pick up our food. And this was at 5pm so it wasn't hectic or anything. Worth a stop if you've got a hankering for some great rice!

The empanadas were amazing and came out hot and fresh-had to wait to eat them. However our entrees came out cold. The made before it was ordered cold. We asked for the Mambo Rice without pork. And it was just ok-not like I remember if I ordered at the location off Beltway 8 which makes sure it's full of chicken and shrimp. We did tell the waitress and she said she would let the manager know or remake it. But my partner didnt want then to remake it. Heated it up when I got home and enjoyed it more but was disappointed that for fried food it was cold. Not sure if I will come back for the food to this location-but love Mambo to give this one another try
