Ordered shrimp tacos on DoorDash and gave me dry plain tacos, didn't include the green sauce that literally makes the tacos. Had before at the restaurant and were great with the sauce, but without are just plain an a waist of money. read more

One of my favorite seafood spots in town. Huge portions, super fresh seafood, great prices, and the flavors are amazing. My favorite are the mambo rice and the mambo style shrimp, both delicious. The service is great, they constantly check up on you, deliver fast, and have great recommendations. The place feels like a classic beach town seafood place from Mexico. It is a good place to go with your family and share a variety of dishes. 100% recommend! read more

This is my second time at Mambo Seafood, the place is very lively and the staff is friendly. They offer a variety of seafood dishes Mexican style from ceviche tostadas, hangover soups, fried fish, seafood boils, fresh oysters, etc. Today we had mambo style shrimp as an appetizer, the shrimp felt super fresh, came in this oil base sauce with intense flavors of garlic and green onions, it is one of the best appetizers I've had in a while! Then we had seafood soup with shrimp, fish and veggies, the broth was delicious, I ordered the small one but it was enough for me. We also had a lunch special ($9.99) fried fish and shrimp, very good, with shrimp rice Cantonese style, so flavorful! My favorite one was definitely the shrimp, but I haven't had anything I don't like at Mambo. The prices are fair, the service is quick, and the place is clean. read more

Mambos seafood has the best seafood! It's fresh! Always packed so I would call ahead for the wait times & the to go option is nice! The staff is nice and helpful and the vibe is super chill I would recommend thank you read more

Food is SO good. Seafood with a Latin twist. Fried rice is so good. Get the special fried rice with your lunch or dinner! You will thank me later. For spicy, ask for the Valenti hot sauce. Service is always good as well. read more

Good. Nothing special. The rice is really Chinese fried rice. Will like to try other dishes. Had the "Vuelta a la vida"seafood mix with the ajillo sauce. Not a lot of flavor. The dish left me underwhelmed. I'm Latino. From the Caribbean so I know good seafood. This one is just so so, so far. The restaurant owner replied immediately, which I appreciate and a sign they are trying. I will be back. read more

Went on a Saturday afternoon and was thoroughly impressed with the modern interior. Having been to other Mambo's locations, I can confidently say this is by far the nicest one. The decor is modern take on an old-school diner and the display of the fresh seafood at the front of the restaurant added a charming touch. We ordered the vida rice, empanadas costenas, and the seafood tostadas to share. The Vida Rice was a massive portion and could easily feed at least 8 people if needed. The rice was well seasoned and the shrimp, scallops, and squid was a nice seafood variation of the typical fried rice. It 's a consistent crowd pleaser and must have when at Mambo's. (7/10) The empanadas came out piping hot and had plenty of filling. They were perfectly fried and pairs super well with the green salsa they give you. (8/10) The seafood tostada was packed with plenty of shrimp and octopus ceviche. The ceviche was really fresh and the perfect side dish to pair with the other fried foods we had ordered. (7/10) Overall, I love Mambo's and glad I got to try this location. There's plenty of parking surrounding the restaurant and the service was great even though we sat outside. I would definitely come back! read more

This is my first time trying Mambo seafood. The food was great and the serving sizes were substantial. I tried the Mas special fried rice (which is fried rice plus beef, chicken, pork and shrimp) and the seafood stuffed jalapenos. I used doordash so can't speak on the actual restaurant but the food was packed well by the servers and still hot and fresh when delivered. read more

I've been a fan of Mambo since I was a broke college kid back in the day. Back then I really appreciated the value you get for a pretty decent seafood meal. Recently a friend was craving it, so I picked up a to go order to eat at her place. Times have changed because I did not know I could order online ahead of time. My fault for not checking. This place was packed for dinner so even putting in an order at the counter took time. There was a slight language barrier so ordering was a little bit of a challenge. That again is on me, not them. The prices are still pretty great. The staff I did interact with were as sweet as can be. My to go order did take awhile, but the food was still a nice temp after a little bit of a drive. My order now was the same thing I got back in the day. I went with the good ole 15 piece fried shrimp with a side of shrimp fried rice for a whopping 10.99. They have an option to make the rice habanero style which I requested, but they said it was be an upcharge and come separately. In essence, I basically ordered another side of rice I guess. I guess because I did not get another side, nor was my rice habanero style. That being said, the fried rice that comes with it is outstanding. They make Chinese food spots look bad for sure. The shrimp were not huge, but decently sized. I did run across some pieces that were not properly cleaned which was a bummer because the shrimp always hits. I also tried some of the seafood gumbo and was pleasantly surprised on how good it was. They definitely know how to cross into the Cajun and Chinese side of things. Overall, this place brought back some fond memories and the food was good. I'm sure I won't let so much time pass before I come back again. read more

Lots of parking and affordable seafood mixed with a few cold beers makes this busy body restaurant an occasional go to spot. The staff is limited on English but are very nice and attentive. Honestly if need be just point to the menu when you order. Not the best seafood in town but it is a great little place to curb your cravings and their shrimp fried rice is scrumptious. They have a family meal for $43 that feeds 4 hungry adults for sure. Ambiance is a bit loud and fast paced during rush times but it's almost part of the experience. Restrooms could use a bit of TLC but when you have an hour wait, I can see how it may be hard to check in on the toilets lol. read more

I came Sunday, really good service they treated me nice, the food was good as well I will for sure be coming back to this location

I don't know why this place has 3.5 stars. It's one of my favorite places to eat and the service is always so good! We just discovered they have a veteran's discount for 20% off the check. Hello! I love places that honor veterans year round! The last two servers have been great: Lucy and Erica I believe was the other server we had. I always have my shrimp scampi but I tried the grilled octopus and it was so good! The mojarra (snapper) is really good too and they will cook it as much as you want! There's always a crowd so you can expect it to be a little noisy but overall it's a good experience. read more

We go to Mambo's quite often, especially during crawfish season. What amazes us is the manager on floor, we always see her working so hard and helping the waitresses. She's either sweeping or sitting people. Looks like she never takes a break. Want to give a huge shoutout to Monica. I get tired just looking at her work so hard. Kudos to her!! read more

Came in on Thursday and was immediately sat down. Nothing fancy inside. Therrs music playing and plenty of seating. The food is very good. The crab was stuffed with shrimp, crab and cheese.

Great seafood boil. It was on the spicier side, make sure you get the melted butter with it. Micheladas are always on point. The kids meal was made fresh, but that takes me to the next point. Waitress was friendly however, she forgot to put our food items with the drinks, so the food came out late. And we didn't get the kids meal, when I asked again for that I could tell she had forgotten to put in the order for the kids meal and the other side item. Minor hiccup, overall good food. read more

Mambo Seafood - Seafood boil w/ Indio michelada - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was looking to eating fish here, however; when I found out Mambos was selling crawfish I decided to give it a try. It was very tasty and the spice level was on point! It was spicy enough to enjoy and 2lbs was enough for me. The platter comes with shrimp, potato, and corn. If you are eating with more than one person I would suggest adding extra potato and corn to get the full crawfish experience. I would chose an individual plate if you are not with a large crowd and want to catch lunch or dinner. I love you can order to your liking for example you can have shrimp fried rice regular or habanero style , fish grilled/fried, and shrimp grilled/fried/scampi style. I have yet to find a seafood place that gives you this option and shows how much this business accommodates every seafood lover. It was very busy, but we were able to be seated in a timely manner. I would suggest to allow some time before being seated especially during the lunch rush. Please note the seating is indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. It is moderately loud and music is played as well. read more

I went in for to-go I over heard the general manager screaming at the cashiers in a rude way it made me feel uncomfortable. Over all everything was good except it was not acceptable to have a manager treat employees the way she did from what it sounded it its not the first time she treats them like that.Mango do better treat employees better after all they are part of the success of the restaurant. I feel for the cashiers and all the employees there. I hope next time I go I do not have to experience this again . read more

I don't even know where to begin with this place. The portions are enough for two. Great customer service, beautiful women, wonderful food.

They legit messed up my order three times I ordered the number #4 but instead of fries I ask for shrimp, fried rice, plain with no vegetables I get there and they hand me the number for and I check the rice and it's got vegetables in it so I return it to them. I told him that this is not what I ordered one of the waitresses said that next time if I want it that way, then I need to order steam rice and I said to her if I do that will they come with shrimp she told me yes and I said OK I didn't know that let's do it... They bring me the second order and it's the fried shrimp with plain white steamed rice ‍ So I go back and tell her this is not what I ordered and I explain it to them again what I was asking for in English, and in Spanish to the managers and to other waitresses And this time they bring me a regular size plane, shrimp, fried rice with no fried shrimp ... at this point I just decided to just take it and leave.. This is my favorite spot and location, so maybe they just had a bad understanding they weren't busy or anything either..." read more

Jennifer was a great server! Food and drinks were delicious i had a michelada and mangorita

Love love love mambos!! Can't come here without getting the shrimp fried rice , fried shrimp and stuffed crab

Always love this place, so many great options at great prices. The raw oysters and grilled shrimp were excellent as always.

Mambos seafood is one of my faves! You cannot go wrong here. The fried rice is one of the best fried rices you can get in Houston. Something about their rice is simply amazing. Full of flavor. I have yet to find any other rice like it. Def one of a kind. The fried fish is really good too! I also like the fried shrimp. We always come here and my son gets the mambo special fried rice and I get the shrimp and fish. We have been coming to mambos for many years and go to all of their locations. This location gets really packed and yet they are so fast and get the out really fast. Do yourself a favor and stop on in if you never tried it. Keep up the good work mambo seafood. Also they have have amazing lunch specials for under 10.00. I highly recommend this place and this location. read more
