We decided to treat ourselves for a nice Mexican meal and they did not disappoint! Our waitresses recommended the beef empanadas for a starter and they were delicious. I also had the cucumber Serrano margarita on ice, it was refreshing and very tasty. For my main dish I got the flautas de barbacoa and they were probably my favorite to date! Crunchy, flavorful and the avocado on top was perfectly balanced. Will definitely come back. The complimentary elote was quite the bonus as well. read more

Usually fantastic and a 4. However, last trip my friend ordered his meal and his took forever to come out after my other guest and I. I had soup and it was mostly just liquid with very little, if any, substance. His meal finally came out and was very much undercooked meat and cold. We asked for it to be precooked. Management gave us a free desert which was nice though the whole experience with them from out of town was disappointing. read more

Have eaten here a few times and the food, drinks and atmosphere are pretty good. Ordered the ribeye poblano rice tonight and would not recommend it as most of the meat was very fatty. The rice was good though. read more

This place is BUSY! We arrived around 8 and waited half an hour for a 2 top by the bar. I felt bad for our waiter who was running around a lot and don't blame him for fact we had to ask for silverware, tortillas for fajitas, and were delivered the wrong drinks - all of which was rectified when we told him. The food wash fresh and a nice break from the cheese laiden Tex Mex places (which I'm not knocking!). The place needs a deep clean - the pepper mill on the table had mold growing in it and the vents were caked in layers of dirt and grime. Overall - a good meal considering what seemed to be staffing issues and the need for some cleaning. read more

Accidentally stumbled upon this authentic and appetizing Mexican restaurant since the original restaurant my girlfriend and I planned to dine at had a private party dinner that evening . No biggie. Though I wasn't initially in the mood for Mexican food, it quickly became a memorable and serendipitous experience. We decided to sit at the bar and order off their Happy Hour menu. I hardly remember names which is a big 'no bueno' but these bartenders were so kind I have to give a shout-out to Victor and Victoria. They checked up on us regularly but I did not feel pressured to make conversation or to order more food or drinks. We made light banter and they gave great food and cocktail suggestions on the following from their Happy Hour menu: Food: Street Corn (Elotes) - I love corn so this has always been a go-to appetizer for me. The corn was soft to bite into and the seasoning was tasty and tangy. Chicken Tinga Empanadas - Hands down, the best item on their HH menu. We ordered four of these. Flaky on the outside and juicy on the inside! Chicken Taquitos - They were a little dry but I still ate it, but would not order it again (and order more of the Chicken Tinga Empanadas lol) Tuna Tostada - I found it to be overpowering in flavor. The tuna itself was quite salty. Sadly I did not finish it and the bartender noticed and comped it to our surprise. (Thanks for the exceptional service and listening to our feedback!) Molotes - I love plantains and this was filled with chorizo so it was unique for me as it was my first time ever trying Molotes. Cocktail: I usually like to order on the rocks or neat but Victor suggested the Jamaica Mule with Del Maguey Vida and I enjoyed it. I asked for it not to be too sweet and he made it perfectly. For my next drink, I ordered the Montelobos Mezcal on the rocks and it was superb. In hindsight now, I don't think it was an accident upon stumbling here. My girlfriend and I were meant to dine there and have a lovely evening of Mexican cuisine, cocktails, and catching up too. FYI: Happy Hour is ALL DAY on Monday. Salud! read more

Took a Bestie here for his birthday! The place was immaculately CLEAN! BEST margaritas we've ever had! Heartily recommend their Caldo! We will return! read more

Stopped in for HH. Really impressed with the drinks, food, and young polished service staff. Will certainly be back.

Great ambience and wonderful frozen margaritas. A wide selection of Mexican dishes on the menu. The street corn on the stick and the risotto with white cheese (don't recall the name of the dish) were exceptionally tasty. Our server was pleasant and took the time to explain the various items on the menu as well as the Margaritas. Will definitely return when next in Houston. read more

Hector and Alejandra are the best bartenders! They made my birthday so special! I'll definitely be back

Service: top notch! All of the staffs were very attentive. Food: the pork belly in green sauce was very delicious. They let us taste their award wining drink: cucumber Serrano margarita. Very refreshing, well balanced, and one of my favorite margarita now. The seafood campachana was too overwhelming with tomato sauce. read more

I love how they decorated this restaurant! It's very lively and nice. This would make a good spot to celebrate a birthday. Our waiter Z was very informative and friendly. We started off with some margaritas. I got the cucumber jalapeño margarita that was very refreshing with a mild spice. We got the complimentary chips and salsa. Our waiter asked if it was our first time at the restaurant and we told him yes so the manager came by with complimentary elote to welcome us as first time customers! I really appreciated this gesture and the elote was delicious. I'm usually not a corn person but I would make an exception for this. We also go the tostada ceviche as an appetizer. This was pretty good but not our favorite. For our entree, we ordered the chicharron de ribeye. This was on their rotating menu. The beef was very tasty and their tortillas are so good! I recommend trying both the flour and corn. I personally liked the flour more but their corn tortilla is the best corn tortilla I've had at a restaurant in Houston. The menu here is so extensive so I can't wait to go back for a happy hour! read more

Celebrated my birthday here with family. They were able to accommodate all 17 of us with no problem. The staff was very attentive from the start. Our waiter was amazing even though we were a big party he kept up and made sure we didn't need anything. Now let's talk about the food OMG it was delicious and the portions were enough to share. The only thing that I think could be different is that the mimosa could be a little less juice and more champagne. Also some place seem like the air conditioner can't keep up with this Texas heat, but this was not the case here so bring a light sweater if you get cold. Love the decor, loved the food loved the service. read more

Today, we came during 6ish happy hour-dinner time. Hostess greed us and said, "Happy hour are only for outside patio and at the bar?" Margaritas are really good. Menus are not cheap...so we thought perhaps the food will be really good. Tuna Tostadas was drenched in soy sauce which makes the tuna too salty to eat, couldn't eat them. My friends ordered the quesadillas and tortillas was wet. Street corn is okay, too much lime juice. Some folks might like lots of lime juice on them but too much take away the flavors. It took the waiter a long time to come take our orders and distribute our bills. I ordered beef quesadillas and got home was beef enchilada. Our carry out orders got mixed up somehow. Ambiance was okay. They are super busy and can get super loud. Lots of birthday celebrations. read more

The service is incredible here!! Literally the best we have ever had in Katy anywhere . Food here is fresh and prepared well . Margaritas were a bit too spicy for me but good ! Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu ! read more

The staff was very attentive and friendly the food was great, everything we had was awesome. Definitely a Mexican restaurant vs normal TEX-MEX around here and it is for sure worth a visit. read more

First time here and will definitely not be the last. The restaurant is beautiful and in a great location but what made it over the top was our AMAZING server, Marcel. His knowledge not only with the food but with the drinks was honestly very impressive. ALL his recommendations were on point and so delicious. Will definitely come back and ask for him as my server. He's made this experience so enjoyable. Thank you Marcel! read more

Great food , great service and very pretty neat decor! The fajitas were so fresh and delicious!

Been here a couple times now and have nothing negative to say. We've tried a few different appetizers (the street corn on the cob is the most flavorful I've ever had and the chicken empanadas are perfect). Chips and salsas (red and green) are also flawless. I can only describe the Pastel Azteca entree as sort of a Mexican lasagna with tortillas and poblano sauce instead of pasta and marinara - it's a comforting dish I loved. Also, the atmosphere/decor inside this restaurant is really special - the owners clearly sunk time and money into the renovation compared to the place before them. Best part for last though - the service! We had waitress Chloe both visits and she was on top of everything, plus crazy friendly and gave us all kinds of detail about the menu. I would highly recommend dining here. Don't forget to order a killer margarita either! read more

This was my family first there I was recommended to this place by a Friend and I was super excited to go. Once we arrived we were seated and 15 min later was asked to move tables we already had our chips and salsa and drinks and margaritas which was really wired and was told they had a reservation on this table so I don't understand why they placed us there very inconvenient after that so I watched the man go and asked what they can do all of the staff had rude mugging faces towards us like we're the ones who made that mistake in seating us there I didn't appreciate that at all so once our food came you can just feel them staring at us with hate in there eyes just watching up definitely wasn't a pleasant experience so the bill was 96.83 I paid with cash $100 bill and told the waiter keep the rest and I also need a box to go for the rest of our food . As I'm watching him go up to another employee just to say that we only left him a $4tip from the $100 I paid just to see the other employees make eye contact with me like we're just rude ppl I really didn't appreciate that cause what he didn't know was I had more cash to add to his tip to give him and once I did he still seemed upset like if I'm obligated or he's entitled to my bigger tip I honestly feel like I should ask for the tip I left him back that was very unappreciated I didn't have to leave a thing but I did and the way they looked at my family as we left was so degrading like if we done something wrong which my family didn't . I will not recommend anyone to this kind of service they have to feel like there entitled at this location next time have a better attitude instead of assuming cause his tip was have been more I'm a groomer myself and I know how it is and I always tip . Also he never gave me my receipt either no telling what I was charged for but I still paid my bill . The worst first experience ever do better read more

I really wanted to like this place, it was a cool vibe, menu looked good, the elote that came out was delicious, the chips & salsas were awesome. Service was good too. I went with the short ribs polenta, the description claimed it was braised for 5 hours. So if you are familiar cooking short ribs you know how tender these can be especially if braised for 5 hrs. Well this wasn't it, these tasted as if frozen and super rubbery with no tenderness. In fact they were terrible, 4 bites and I was done - Like I said I really want to like this place so im willing to try it again. read more

Ambriza - Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Katy, Texas

I had heard about Ambriza for years and was finally in Katy this week where there is one. The restaurant is beautiful with high ceilings, a modern design and young hip waistaff. The chips are not greasy at all and the red and green salsas are delicious and not too spicy. I ordered fish tacos which come with rice and beans. I got the vegetarian refried black beans. The serving of beans was generous. My problem with the fish tacos is that they rarely have any filling. The piece of fish was a skinny strip. That's the skinniest taco I remember having in recent years. At $14, Ambriza can do better. I'm reluctant to go to their happy hour. They have a baja fish taco for $7. If the taco is a tortilla with a minute piece of fish, I wouldn't order it. read more

Overall I like the atmosphere in this location and service is decent. They have an outdoor area that has heaters available for cooler mornings or evenings. They also play upbeat music throughout the day. I went with a party of 5 in which everyone had issues with there meal. From cheese being added when it was asked to be omitted due to lactose intolerance, missing condiments that were asked to be placed on the side, not receiving fruit and undercooked tortillas to even broken chipped coffee cups and dirty dishes. I have not seen such a catastrophe ever and will not revisit this location due to the mishaps... and it was not busy, there was "maybe" 7 tables occupied which is rare. Maybe you have better luck but my visit to this location was a huge 2 thumbs down. read more

Love this place! Great experiences so far. It's always hard to get a table! Drinks are spot on. Service is usually good. The good is always delicious. They have an amazing happy hour menu with a great selection. Their unique flavors of margaritas are great. Can't wait to try more! read more

Overall- a decent first time experience. I went in around 5pm on a Saturday and it was a nice crowd, but not packed. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were all attentive and friendly. The margaritas are as good as most people say that they are! They are large, flavorful and a decent value for what you're paying. Here's what I had: Cucumber Serrano Margarita - 10/10 Elote - 8/10 Empanadas - beef 6/10 (extremely bland), chicken 8/10 Watermelon Spring Salad - 4/10 (flavor was a little flat and a lot of my lettuce was spoiled or wilted I will definitely give them another try if for nothing other than the margaritas and ambiance. read more

I have gone to Ambrizas before to the bar and the bartender Great, but one night in December I was walking with my mom and my brother,at la centerra and we were so cold. We decided to go to Ambrizas to have a cup of coffee or chocolate and churros when the waiter greet us. He was so happy when we told him we just wanted churros and chocolate immediately he changed his face. His name is Roberto and he told us you are in the wrong place for chocolate or coffee when he told us that , I asked him for the manager, he immediately change his attitude again. The second time I went to Ambrizas we asked for soup and churros The girl brought the soup and churros, and she disappeared. we never saw her again when we asked the manager if we could warm them up again because they got cold while we were eating our soup the manager Mary say no I'm sorry the will get hard you have to buy another onewe bought them because the money is not the issue is the POOR SERVICE they give so no I don't recommend it only if you're gonna have a drink, but to eat, please don't go there. read more

And here with my husband before we stopped at a family reunion and it did not disappoint! We had the elote as appetizer and it was nice and toasted. We then moved on to the molcajete chicken and beef fajitas which came with rice and beans plus a generous side of guacamole. My husband ordered the quesabirria and he enjoyed them. The best part though we're the cucumber margaritas! They were a generous size and delicious! They had great music playing in the background as well! Our waitress (the bartender) was quick and attentive with our service. Our good could have used a bit more salt, however overall the service and food was great. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great Mexican place with shading margs. read more

This is probably my favorite place in La Centerra. It always has good food and I really enjoy their drinks. I like to get their happy hour menu, but when I'm not there at that time, I really like the duck mole. I also like their aguachile that I've gotten a couple times. I also liked the quesabirria and the street corn of course. Mostly everything I've tried has been great, so if you haven't had this place, go check it out. read more

This restaurant is in the clock tower in la Centerra. The interior aesthetics are beautiful--you're welcomed by two 'Day of the Dead' skeletons that are dressed up. Inside there are these huge windows that allow in natural lighting that gives it a glowing, sunny feel inside. Absolutely beautiful! I ordered the enchiladas con mole which personally I do not recommend. Their mole did not taste good as I've had at other Mexican restaurants. For appetizers (which came out at the same time as our entrees) was Brussels sprouts--it tastes great and I do recommend them. The Brussels sprouts were the cheapest on the menu. My friend I dined with ordered their chicken lunch bowl and she said it was great. Service overall was good so no complaints there. read more

Today's visit couldn't have been more perfect. I took my mom here for lunch and Helen was our server. She loved it! Since it was her 1st visit she got an order of street corn. She ordered the seafood enchiladas and I ordered the fish tacos. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. We each ordered a margarita and were back and forth on flavors. They brought us a sample of 2 that we could try. Helen and Christian came to check on us to make sure everything was good. We ended the meal with flan that was so creamy.
