Ambriza

Met with some good friends here. Upon arrival the host was able to find us a table promptly . the Restaurant is colorful and bright in which was very attractive to me. What I remember the waiter being very attentive and the service was pretty good also. Now we ordered a plethora of food and just from the chips and salsa and drinks margaritas was pretty good. We ordered chicken tacos and the chicken, and Shrimp fajitas and some steak.

I love coming here when visiting my daughter. We came here on a Sunday, so brunch was on the menu. To drink, I had a Mezcal Old Fashioned. I asked for it not too sweet. It came out sweet. She took it back and brought me another one. It was less sweet but still sweet. We got the Chalipitas de lechon. They were a bit messy but good. The lechin was super moist and tender. The maduros envuelto were ok. The smokiness of the bacon with the sweetness of the plantain was a nice flavor profile. For my main, I got the barbacoa and polenta. The meat was really tender and flavorful. The polenta is not any polenta I have ever had. It was super dry, not much flavor and not worth the calories! I pretty much just ate the egg and the beef. It came with some potatoes that were super salty and some fruit with Tajin. I'll definitely come back when I am in town again, but now I know what not to order.

From the moment you enter the restaurant you smell the delicious food you about to receive. Great music playing the whole time. Love the outside sitting with a lovely view. We receive great service the whole time and great recommendations from our waitress. Love the street corn! The tostones are great as well. Would recommend for everyone to try the crema poblana bowl, very rich and delicious. The tacos were good definitely recommend getting it with the flour tortillas (they are great) and not the corn. I know they make everything in house but the corn tortillas is bland and too thick for my liking. The margaritas is a must!

I love Ambriza patio and drinks... The food is not as great. I typically stick to the empanadas and the corn.... I opted for this time the mahi mahi ceviche. It was ok light and refreashing and paired well with my cucumber margarita...

Authentic Mexican food, rich of flavors and selection. The place is very cute and service is amazing, very welcoming. Place can get a bit old but overall is pleasurable

Went on a Friday and the ambiance was exactly what we needed. Good music and fun environment. The service was also great. The food was good.

So where to start...the friendly staff, the food the view...went on homecoming night so all the restaurants in Towne Lake Boardwalk were super busy. Left our name and they pages us in about 10-15 minutes as promised. Seated in a nice table with a view of the lake. We were first timers so they brought us an elote to get started. Very decent selection of tequila and it seems everyone enjoys their 'Rita's. I had the tuna tostadas and wife enjoyed a chicken dish. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.They serve Mexico City style food as opposed to Tex-Me. Food was excellent and they were generous with chips and salsa. They didn't skimp on the tuna. Certainly deserve a stop.

The food is great, Tex mex, if you want to try the real Mexican food, choose another place. I went there 3 times, and it depends on how many people are there, it should not be like that, but I think they are short staffed. Ambiance outside is great! I recommend making a reservation before going. It gets really busy on weekends!

I highly recommend this place Excellent The best waiter Israel He is kind and reliable

So I'm sitting here at the bar of Ambrizia because I am on the wait list for a table on the patio. We were told it would be half an hour wait for a patio table however, I have been sitting here looking at 8 empty tables as I drink my margarita. When I inquired I was told by the hostess that there is a waiting list (which I understand and I'm on the said list). So help me understand how long should a table sit empty for a waitlist? I am the opinion five or ten minutes is a reasonable amount of time for someone to show up for a table and then shouldn't they move on down the list to the people that are standing here waiting?Am I missing something here? Am I being over critical? I have come to this restaurant several times and the service seems to get worse each time I come. Maybe I should learn from my experiences and just stop.
