Mango Habanero Ceviche Fried Tilapia Fillet # 6
Syed Hammad Raza N.

I have had a chance to visit this Mexican seafood restaurant for early dinner on a friend's recommendation. The restaurant is located right next to highway I-45, and has plenty of parking. The ambience gives you the vibes of a mid scale Mexican place, with plenty of servers busy serving their customers. I started off by ordering Mango Habanero Ceviche. The food came out quick. I must say the food, although fresh was VERY hot (due to Habanero peppers) for my taste. I also ordered fried Tilapia, that comes with a side of bun and rice with shrimps. I liked the quality of the food, and it certainly helped me get my taste buds back after the initial burning from the ceviche. One thing missing was the usual salsa and nachos that I've become so accustomed to all the TexMex places. The prices seem to be very reasonable and the service was nice. Overall, I will try this place again.

comida increíble, un servicio excepcional y un ambiente vibrante con excelente música. Los platillos son deliciosos y los empleados son muy atentos.

Fish Tacos

This was a nice place with a large selection of seafood. Many choices from tacos, gumbos, fried seafood, salads, and more but there could have been more flavoring on the tacos.

House Salad

Calamari

Mambo Seafood has some of the freshest seafood I've ever had. Stepping into this wood covered restaurant and looking over their massive menu, you'd think you were somewhere in Galveston. The restaurant is very clean, spacious even when packed & the booths are not crowded. The employees were super pleasant despite being busy. They seemed to be pretty used to the fast pace. We started with the Calamari which were big pieces that were lightly battered. I was glad that they were not overcooked or chewy, they were perfect. We also ordered the Shrimp Scampi & the Mambo Combo. The scampi shrimp were huge & smothered in butter and fresh garlic. The Mambo Combo consists of a stuffed crab, fried fish filets, fried grande shrimp, stuffed shrimp, mambo rice & a salad. The stuffed crab was by far my favorite of this dish. It was packed with so much flavor & filling, truly a must repeat! The fried filets were lightly battered and perfectly flakey. The fried fish was also lightly battered, big in size and cooked perfectly. The stuffed shrimp were massive & were a little spicy. Their rice is pretty famous & for good reason. It's absolutely flavorsome with bite size grilled shrimp. The salad was also appetizing with fresh crunchy lettuce, tomatoes & a big size of jicama. The dishes are fairly priced, we actually expected to pay more than we did. How often does that happen lol... Already planning our next visit!

Waitress was very attentive and seafood was fresh. The fried rice is always my favorite and the bacon wrapped shrimp was to die for.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

It was my first time trying out Tex mex style. It was so busy on a Saturday evening. The chips that were given to each table was incredibly warm and the sauces paired so well. I ordered the el manarco which is this giant piece of steak that was well charred, included this avacado and seafood grit sauce, rice + soup + gauconole/salsa. They gave me 4 giant house made tortillas which was also fresh and warm. This meal can be finished by two people. Definitely come here on an empty stomach and the portions are absolutely massive.

I just had the Machacado con Huevo breakfast dish here and it was so incredibly good-So good! it was one of the best breakfasts Ive ever had. seriously.I will definitely be back for this breakfast. I recommend getting it with red and green sauce on the side and a side of tortillas ro make your own tacos with the eggs, salsa and refried beans. just wow! And that tamale needs its own menu. That tamale was amazing. I would get several orders of that soft white tamale by itself to go. And the service was a 10/10. They kept refilling my red and green sauce and kept checking up on me throughout. Ambience was great as always. Its a life changing dish. Thanks Teotihuacan for the great breakfast and great service! Yall deserve a well-earned review!

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it. It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

We ordered the breakfast burrito and the duck carnitas. We added barbacoa to the burrito, and it was honestly the definition of comfort food. It was EXTREMELY greasy though, so I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. If I had been home alone... I probably would've just shoved the whole thing in my mouth. I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.

They also have events where they bring in tequila brands and you can do free tastings of tequila! You meet the tequila brands ambassadors and learn about their brand.

We did have to ask for a bit of cleanup around our table from the previous guests, but considering how busy the restaurant was, it wasn't a major issue and was taken care of promptly. The food was very good and lived up to expectations. My only disappointment was the Bloody Maria, which wasn't seasoned properly and lacked the balance and depth of flavour I was hoping for. Overall, a fun, energetic spot serving very good food, with just a few minor details keeping it from being an exceptional experience. Saluti.
