    So.... I'm sitting in La Finca... Oops "La Cantina" now... I thought I'd give it a try and see for myself... Ughh... It's La Finca! They just changed the name, painted the walls these obnoxious colors, placed a battery operated light on the table and walla! I give you "La Cantina"! The food is exactly the same. Terrible... The service is exactly the same... Terrible... The atmosphere is exactly the same... Terrible... I ordered chicken fajitas, what could possibly go wrong? The chicken appeared to be precooked. The onions were burned to a crisp. The flour tortillas seemed to be homemade, but the corn tortillas were store bought The atmosphere is so weird here! It's 1:44pm and I'm literally the only customer in here! I'm listening to terrible mariachi music, while every once and a while getting interrupted by a Burger King and Auto Zone commercial in Spanish... The staff is on their cell phones, leaning on the service kiosk while watching a cupcake baking challenge on the Food Network... I look over and there is a huge disco ball spinning with a strobe light that randomly turns on... Party!! The server is spying on me while I write this post... LOL If you didn't like La Finca, then don't bother coming... My guess is the "new management" is not present or doesn't care... If my restaurant just opened up, then I would be there from opening to closing talking to customers and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Just saying... I hope that helps! Gotta go now!

    The service was attentive. The Fajitas were tender and had good flavor. The green and red salsas were delicious. Their margaritas need help though. Too much sweet and sour flavor. We will be back again.

    The wife and I, our son, her son and his wife and her sister all headed over to see what took the place of La Finca.

A special shoutout to Ulises, who made our experience exceptional. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and fast without ever making us feel rushed. Since it was our first time visiting, they even surprised us with complimentary corn on the cob, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was outstanding and came out surprisingly quickly. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My husband was also impressed by the attention to detail throughout the restaurant--even the restroom was stocked with everything you could think of, from toothpicks to mouthwash, which was especially appreciated after enjoying all the delicious corn and black beans! It's rare to find a restaurant that combines amazing food, excellent service, and thoughtful hospitality so well. We left already talking about our next visit, and we can't wait to come back and try their margaritas. Highly recommend!

    We had one of the worst dining experiences ever at Ambriza La Centerra. After living in Houston for…read more15 years and dining all over the city, this was by far the most disappointing restaurant experience we've had. What made it even more frustrating is that we've been to the Cypress location many times, and every single visit there has been exceptional -- great food, great service, and consistently enjoyable. Unfortunately, the La Centerra location was the complete opposite. We waited over an hour for our food, only to receive the wrong appetizer. The fajita plate arrived cold and without rice, beans, or tortillas. We sent both dishes back. The replacement appetizer -- ceviche tostadas -- finally arrived, but it was overloaded with lemon to the point of being unbearably sour. Meanwhile, there were still no tortillas, rice, or beans in sight. No drink refills, no updates, and barely any service during the entire wait. After another long stretch of waiting, we finally asked the server what was happening, only for her to return and tell us the kitchen was closing and they no longer had tortillas, rice, or beans available. At that point, after nearly 1.5 hours, we walked out with nothing but a to-go box of fajita meat. To the manager's credit, they removed the appetizer and fajita charges from the bill, but the experience itself left such a bad taste that it completely overshadowed the gesture. Extremely disappointing, especially compared to the excellent standards we've experienced at the Cypress location. Sadly, we will not be returning to this location.

Enjoyed the margaritas and excellent customer service from Katie. She expertly managed multiple tables, including an 8 top with ease and a smile. The restaurant was pretty busy since it was graduation week. I ordered the ground beef soft tacos with a side of black beans. My friends had the Marisco Bowl and a platter. Management was helping out and delivered our food. All the food items were hot and plentiful. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Multiple members of management stopped by to check and see how we were doing and to chat briefly to make sure we were having a good experience.

    Great service. A little too fast today, actually. We visited this location fairly frequently. Every…read morethird visit or so the food is simply not good. Our fajita meat today was old, and smelled off. We requested medium but it came beyond gray, and zero char- it was sweaty. This showed up within four minutes. The rice was dried out. The beans were, too. As I said- two thirds of the time is great. Sometimes bad visits happen. Then comes the annoying dance: I do *not* want a manager. I sure didn't need an argument (!) from the server about cooking theory. Not looking for free food. We were very hungry and now have to go find another restaurant. We paid and we left. All done. No desire to keep playing roulette with which experience we can expect, and the server pushback was the kicker. You'll be fine without us.
