We love Mambos . Their special rice is delicious. They're fast and quick and the staff is always very nice.

The best place to be for a family night Always convinced by the prices $ it's my favorite the fries are the best my favorite dish is the mixed grill or the Monterey chicken for non seafood eaters mambo classics is a hot section to pick from there's choices of bacon wrapped shrimp , bomb empanadas Costenas, my favorite ultimate is the rice it's not like every other basic rice it's unique rice fried with shrimp there's family deals served 4-6 people margaritas are bomb with other options like michilada wide beer variety the bar has full service! The mambo servers are mambocitas! Pretty kind with great smiles this is a place for a good time it's not a hole in the wall the crowd is unique Come try ur birthday here !!

The best fried rice I have ever had and the mango lava was amazing. Great service from Graciela

You can tell this mambos is under new management. Super bad service and the food was nasty and super greasy!

The food was awesome and my server was so nice and sweet. I tried the shrimp tostada and shrimp cocktail for the first time and was very pleased. Great staff. Oh BTW the Shrimp Cocktail has alottttt of shrimps in it. The ingredients were so fresh. Grab some crackers and order one. U will not be disappointed where as I'm the type of person who don't like to try different foods. But this one will surely make me come back again. read more

Mambo Seafood - Combo Mambo, Shrimp Cocktail and Shrimp Tostada - Seafood Near Me - Baytown, Texas

Average at best. Ordered empanadas, a sea food soup and fried shrimp. The shrimp empanadas were tasty, and best part of the meal. The sea food soup was lacking sea food tbh it was mostly broth and hard vegetables. The main plate the shrimp and mambo rice was lacking. The Shrimp must have been on a diet because they looked extremely small for a main plate and the rice was supposed to have a mix of sea food and if I found one shrimp in it I was lucky. Wouldn't recommend it as my first choice for sea food. read more

This is a good place for some good quick seafood. The main stay for me is their great shrimp cocktail. It's a huge portion for a great price. It could be a meal all on its own. Just add cracker and a beverage and meal time is complete. If you are in search of a quick good meal then this is the place. read more

First visit at this fairly new location. The Mambo Style Shrimp on the starter menu and Mambo rice is delicious. We also tried Mambo Chelada with Modelo beer for the first time, very good. If you like blood Mary's ... this is a bloody beer. Great service and management. The manager actually brought us the shrimp and rice to try because we did not order their famous dishes on our first visit. Our ordered food is going home in a to go box because their famous dishes we were given were so delicious. read more

Worst service at this location they seat us but no one waited on us we have to call someone to take our order and when they bring our food mine was wrong the waitress not even check if we need it something just bring the tab like really read more

Mambos has Great food but the service is bad they take forever to bring your food and they give you the wrong order sometimes and when you ask for ketchup or mayo they take forever just to bring a sauce and sometimes they forget your straws and sometimes they bring something's that you didn't even ask for I rate this place 1 STAR! read more

I came here to eat with my family and they refused to attend us. I believe they discriminated against us because our son has special needs. The staff gave us ugly looks as soon as we walked in and when we sat down at a table nobody came. We waited for 15 min. People who came in after us and sat next to us were attended right away. We got up and left right in front of the manager and he didn't even try to ask us anything. read more

Great food & drinks! I've only had a great time here and I would surely recommend my friends and family to eat here as well! keep up the great work mambos! love you guys/gals! read more

Mambo Seafood - Miche tu start - Seafood Near Me - Baytown, Texas

We came here twice already and I must say the food is great however the service sucks. The first time we let it pass because it was our first time going to eat here but this second time it was worse. Management really needs to assign areas to their waiters because they are all over the place . Food is amazing Service is horrible read more

The food was awesome, but what made our experience the best was our waitress Sydney!!! She was very attentive and made us feel at home always with a big smile!! read more

Really bad service went and had us without drinks the whole time until we had to catch one of the employees attention to bring us something we weren't asked not once if everything was fine I'm usually a guy that tips a lot but they deserve not a single penny . DONT COME HERE read more

Placed an order online for pick up. Simple and fast. I have had great experiences with the other locations. I don't live near a Mambo Seafood. So when I get some I very much enjoy it. I never had my orders mess up until I order from this location. I order the original shrimp fried rice and a pound of shrimp. What I received was spicy combination fried rice and half the shrimp. I didn't think to check it since I had great experiences with the other locations. Unfortunately the job was not preformed properly here. I was really looking for to the food and it was ruined. I will still be eating at the other locations . Just not this one. read more

We liked it, the service was super fast and friendly. All the food we ordered tasted great and came out hot! The Mambo rice was a great surprise read more

What a disappointment this was! And right across the street from a nice restaurant like Saltgrass, too. Yikes. We came in for lunch on a Friday and immediately noticed how crowded it was. This is not a romantic or intimate place to take a date. It is extremely packed, loud and the tables are jam-packed in the building which means you'll hear your neighbor's conversations and they will hear yours. Although there was about 10-12 waitresses and waiters standing near the kitchen door chatting and checking their phones, it took a good 10 minutes before our waitress showed up to take our drink order. We asked about a few of the options on the menu (if we could exchange sides, what kind of fish was used in one of the platters) and she had no clue. She said she "thought" the fish was sea bass but she couldn't be sure. She said she would go and ask but after waiting on her for 10 minutes, we just decided to order. I decided on the "Mixed Grill 8 Grande Shrimp and Fish Fillets". It came with some sort of fish (I never found out) and 8 grilled shrimp on skewers. The fish was slimy, semi-cold and was super fishy. It tasted like the cheap white fish you can order at Long John Silvers or Baytown Seafood. The shrimps were actually tasty and honestly the sole reason for the two stars. My friend ordered a platter with a stuffed crab, fried shrimp and fried fish of some sort. It came with a side of "toasted buns" which are basically buttered and toasted Hawaiian buns that you eat at Thanksgiving. She enjoyed her food. I was also dismayed to find that they do not offer hush-puppies which is one of my favorite seafood accompaniments. The sides part of the menu was lacking in choice. A side salad, toasted buns, rice, fries (which were soggy and tasteless) and steamed vegetables. Just lackluster. I'd love to see more grilled options and an addition of crawfish and hush-puppies. Maybe even some alligator for something rarer. Overall, I'm just really disappointed. It was so loud and crowded that we couldn't have a decent conversation and our waitress had absolutely no idea what she was doing. We ended up waiting another 20 minutes for our check (which was not split). The food was bland, there were too few grilled options, they don't offer hush-puppies and it was pricey. Rough start, Mambo. Rough start. read more

Mambo Seafood - Calamari appetizer - Seafood Near Me - Baytown, Texas

Went for lunch and it was packed. Figured it would since it's new. The good: Very cool outdoor area, lots of tables to seat a lot of people. Staff was friendly and very attentive. It was clean and well kept. Bar area with tv's. Out of all the food the fried rice is very recommended! The bad: The food overall was a let down. Did not look like the pictures posted at all. Small plate of calamari which had not much taste to it and wound up tasting a lot like my fried shrimp. In the calamari there was pieces of Fried shrimp so it took away from how much calamari we got. My fried shrimp was so thin it seemed as though they cut them in half and was rubbery. My salad was on the plate with the shrimp, not a huge deal but i like my salad separate from my food. The crackers they bring in the basket where stale. I'll go back because of the outdoor seating area, but I'll be trying something else next time. read more

We visited this Mambo over the weekend with the family and here's my experience: When we arrived, the wait was very short considering it was a Saturday. The waitress was very friendly and made a couple suggestions. We had the crawfish as an appetizer and the sauce they use is the BOMB! I highly recommend Mambo to any seafood lover! read more

Mambo Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Baytown, Texas

There were good reviews so we tried it out. Our server was on her second day, but we were totally understanding. However, I think she needed more help from management or other waitresses. Our appetizer came out quickly enough and was perfect (calimari). Then two of our meals came out. Fifteen minutes later the other two came out. My daughters burger was frozen cold, but she didn't tell us til after we left. My stuffed crab was good, but the fried shrimp was soggy and limp. It just wasn't a good experience for us. read more

Yeah, a let down. The ambiance of Baytown Seafood, without the good food. Tried the stuffed jalapenos on a review's suggestion. How can you mess that up? Gumbo? More like brown gravy. read more

Stopped at mambos seafood on the way home for work for the first time and wasn't impressed. The gumbo was the worst gumbo I have actually ever had at a restaurant. The shrimp cocktail I ordered was basically just shrimp with some not fresh looking vegetables. To top it off the oysters were super small. I would definitely not recommend this place. read more

Mambo Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Baytown, Texas

I have to write how amazing and friendly the staffs at Mambo were. The waitress are so sweet and assure the customers are good. I had order fried oysters, it was a bit too much of the sea taste. But fried well, the shrimp fried rice was so good, and steamed whole snapper. Will definitely go back when I am passing through Texas. Oh the veggies are to die for read more

Horrible customer service experience. My family and I walked in and was told we could sit anywhere. It was open seating. We sat for 10 minutes and then had to track down a waitress to take our drink order. Once our order was placed we noticed other customers who were agitated by there customer service experience. We ultimately canceled our orders and left read more

Mambo Seafood - To Go Shrimp Cocktail. I got shrimp with ketchup and 2 slices of avocado. I paid for large and looks like I got a small. Will not go back. - Seafood Near Me - Baytown, Texas

Food was great to me. My husband & son were not impressed with the fried food. Super flat fish & shrimp. I got grilled & it was delish. Rice was the bomb too! read more

The Mambo restaurant in houston is much better than this one. My popcorn shrimp was dry and lacked flavor. The riced was rumored to taste amazing, but when I tasted it, it was undercooked and salty. It took 20 minutes for the food to come, and it wasn't that crowded. I would not recommend going there. read more

We ordered shrimp cocktail, fried oysters, fried calamari and a kids macaroni and tenders. The drinks came right out but the food took a little longer than expected . The restrooms were clean and customer service was good. This location wasn't very crowded on a Saturday evening thats a plus. I think because most ppl ate on the patio. We will be returning. read more

Came in today and overheard an employee down talking me and the people I've came with and it's actually my second time seeing her and receiving some dirty looks, Renee is her name with the blue hair and tattoos and I believe she caught on to the fact that I heard the comment because once I looked at her she stayed away and not once made eye contact again. Once again I came in with friends and sat at the bar with Maygan and Laura and the service was good, I just couldn't look past the audacity of an employee to open her mouth and say the ignorance that came out. I would think that all paying customers would be welcomed considering the fact that that's how business works. I'm 8 and a half months pregnant and also a grown ass woman so the comments she made was truly disgusting and I believe that she doesn't deserve her job for being blatantly ignorant and disrespectful. I will report her to corporate if need be. read more

Tonight myself and a coworker stopped in here to eat and we were greeted with 3 very friendly waitresses right off the bat! They told us to sit anywhere we like so we chose a table and immediate had someone taking our drink and appetizer order. The appetizer arrived very quickly (we had the mambo shrimp, highly recommend! The sauce is amazing) we ordered our food and it too arrived very quickly and it was quite busy so I was very impressed. We were approached by the general manager Aaron while he was making his rounds checking on customers and he was friendly and talked to us for a few minutes and then returned to see how we liked everything after we finished our meal. Great place and will be back for sure! read more

Welcome to Baytown. A nice edition to the area. We've visited 2 other locations, 1 off 1-10 and 1 in Humble. We tried this location out for the first time today for lunch. To our surprise it wasn't busy--no wait. Wow !! That was a surprise because of its newness. We walked in and were able to sit wherever we liked. Unfortunately, no booths were available. There were not that many in the restaurant. One wall with appx 6 or so booths. Be careful because the floors were extremely slippery. (JUST like Cheddars across the way ) Yikes !! Not sure why restaurants get this kind of tile. Nice atmosphere. Loud festive music. Tables close together. Not much privacy for personal conversations. I would consider this a family style and not a date night restaurant. We waited a bit before anyone asked us for our drink order. We sat right by one of the "order registers," so it was a bit hard to keep overlooking us sitting at a table with nothing on it. Finally, someone came over to ask for our drink order. It wasn't too bad of a wait, but it was very obvious for the staff that kept walking by looking at us, but not stopping. Later, we were asked a couple times if we had been helped. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to our table. The food was good as usual. Next time we may try something different. The margaritas tasted good, but just like a regular frozen smoothie. No alcohol taste at all. Also, I saw photos garnished with chile, but mine came out without it. My hubby asked the to put some and she obliged. All in all, it was a nice visit. Would visit again. Hopefully Baytown will continue to support this business. God bless read more

Well this was our first & last visit here. We thought we would try something new. Our waitress was great. She kept our glasses full. She took our orders correctly. No one seemed to know what the catch of the day was, or what does the menu mean when it says to ask about it. Does it mean it's on sale? Or a special? We are eating keto ......keep that in mind.... I ordered a whole red fish $19.99 It tasted ok. No seasonings really.Being keto, I ordered a salad and grilled veggies......my salad came out on or under my hot cooked redfish, it was a bunch of iceberg lettuce, one slice of tomato, and one slice of jicima...i mean seriously? I want my salad cold and crisp not hot, I ordered Ranch dressing.....it was like miracle whip with pickles...sort of a cross with tarter sauce. My "grilled veggies were potatoes, corn, 2 thin slices of zucchini, a huge chunk of green bell pepper and a huge hunk of carrot. So out of all that I could eat the zucchini & pepper if I wanted. Joe ordered two #1's-2 fried fish filets and 6 Grande shrimp. Well if Grande is a small bait shrimp split, and smashed,& so breaded that that's all you tasted.....no seasoning, the fillets of fish were not nice fillets, they were thin 2x2 pieces....he had the same salad served on his hot plate with fried food, same grilled veggies. The corn btw was covered in Mayo and cheese like it is in Mexico. I'm not a fan , I know a lot of people are. We cant eat corn & potatoes anyways on keto. The drinks there are awesome because they have a machine that gives you tons of choices, like adfing cherry to diet Rootbeer, or diet gingerale, or coke zero....so so many drink choices, sodas, flavored waters, ect. The staff were friendly, place was very clean. Didn't smell fishy even for a seafood restaraunt. Overall not my cup of tea. read more

Great service and amazing shrimp, octopus, and scallop scampi. I was very impressed. They have a big variety of drinks and food choices.
