I love that they added the new sautéed spinach as a side- super delish. Matt, the GM, is so kind, attentive, and just has the best customer service! The staff looks like they’re having a great time, which makes the environment a lot more inviting. Definitely recommend!“

“Si tienes nostalgia por México o simplemente tienes la curiosidad de probar la mejor comida del mundo que, para mí, en mi experiencia lo es la Comida Mexicana, esto por los sabores tan exquisitos que probé en este Restaurante y las especias que los chefs mexicanos de la Fonda Santa Rosa emplean de manera artesanal en la elaboración de los alimentos, te recomiendo de forma sincera y ampliamente la Fonda Santa Rosa. Come a bajo costo y experimenta ese gran sabor tan exquisito de la comida de este lugar.“

“Great atmosphere! The team is amazing and the Tacos are hot and so fresh.“

“Aris Market Square is a perfect blend of America’s Next Top Model and luxury elite living. The employees are truly beautiful inside and out. First and foremost, Chelsea, Imani, and Mahi are absolutely gorgeous and consistently amazing—always willing to help and always going above and beyond for the residents.

Chelsea somehow maintains an incredible mood and welcoming energy every single day, and it never fails to bring a smile to my face no matter what kind of day I’m having. Mahi is an amazing soul who truly goes above and beyond; she even helped me create a study guide for work-related activities that our entire staff now uses. Imani is always warm and welcoming, incredibly helpful, and even offered me a Thanksgiving plate, which meant the world to me.

Rothle is the building’s favorite “uncle”—always helpful, always smiling, and full of wisdom. Dumela! The late-night crew, Messager and Richard, are always eager to help, maintain great attitudes during the wee hours of the night, and go above and beyond to keep residents safe and satisfied.

The entire valet staff is also outstanding—one team member even helped me during move-in after noticing how exhausted I was from carrying multiple large items. All in all, I truly love Aris Market Square. It is a well-run luxury living community, and you will too!“

“Best food truck around! The burritos and tacos are absolutely delicious, and the prices are unbeatable. The service is always fast, friendly, and efficient. If you're looking for great food at a great value, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“We went to the new location for the first time last night. I’m happy to report they have the same delicious food and friendly staff. There were 6 of us at the table. All food came out fairly quickly from ordering time and we were all served at the same time. It is saying a lot because the restaurant was packed at the time on a Sunday evening. The food was served piping hot. My teens are very particular about their tortillas and fajitas …they were very happy with the food quality and taste. The price is fair comparing to today’s food prices. I had the enchiladas en molé, mom had fish tacos, and dad had tortilla soup. So good! We will be back soon!“

“Am new in Houston this has been the best restaurant my fiancé and me been in point blank,customer service , Atmosphere,food mmm 😋 top of the line will recommend it 💯period!!“

“Ask about the secret menu 🤫 Food is amazing so are the drinks and employees ❤️“

“This was our first time here and we can not speak highly enough about the hospitality we were given. The tacos and seafood basket were so good and their aguas frescas were a 10/10. We’ll be returning 🤗“

“Muy sabrosas las carnitas me los recomendaron y realmente es una delicias comer de sus carnitas Saludes amigos de Michoacan e invitamos a mis paisas a vicitarlos“

“The Birria tacos were delicious and very filling. Thank you Jada for the great service. Shout out to to the cook!!“

“We visit Ambriza nearly every week, mostly at Towne Lake or La Centerra, for everything from casual dinners to birthday parties—the atmosphere is always lively, service is fast and friendly, bar offers quality drinks (ice-cold beers, top-shelf margaritas), fajitas and the Parrillada Mexicana are must-haves, and starters like street corn, empanadas, and ceviche never disappoint—perfect spot for family, friends, or any celebration, always consistent and highly recommended.“

“We went late, like 10pm, but the service was phenomenal!! The staff were all very nice and attentive! The parking was very easy as well.
Most of the seafood was delicious!! A couple things were a little too fishy for my taste, iykyk.

The vibes were amazing and the menu is VERY diverse!! It’s a great spot!!!“

“Took my family here this evening and I couldn’t be happier. The food was absolutely wonderful and the service was superb. Our waitress Jazleah was amazing and made some great recommendations on some dishes. She stayed on top of refills and stayed on top of making sure we had everything we needed. She was exceptional. Highly recommend!!“

“You guys made my mother’s 80th birthday dinner so special! Thank you for your thoughtfulness!“

“If you are looking for great Mexican food this is definitely a spot to try. The food is delicious and the prices are really good .“

“Los mejores tacos La Sultana con todo el sabor Regio para Houston 100% recomendados.“

“The food is delicious, and the quality is excellent. One suggestion would be to offer table service, as having to get back in line to order additional items can be inconvenient. Parking can also be challenging. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would return.“
