One of my favorite places to come get lunch!!! Everyone is always so welcoming and kind! So helpful and just happy... I appreciate that every time I come in and even better when my babygirl comes with me! I literally love coming in and being treated well- I mean very well! I be needing that when working with not so happy and nice people lol!!! The places is spacious and has booths- which is my personal preference always- they are comfortable too! So that's a win. It's colorful and cheerful, has depth and darkness too so if you like it low key and still a spot of sunshine this is the place for you!The food- so good. Everything I have ordered I have eaten. (Minus iceberg... lol my other arch nemesis)This time we ordered the Molcajete Azteca ........ bisssssssh, let me tell you. Sooo sooo good. The chicken, fire. Shrimp- fire. The steak. Fire. The scallops. Fire. Even the beautifully sautéed onions and red peppers... Fire! Now.... Do this Put them (one of everything served in the hot stone) in the tortillas with a little crushed up tortilla chips and add in the cheese & chorizo..... someone's mama is getting slapped IT'S FIRE!! Then add some the delicious spicy salsa - now it's on fire. Lmaoooooo so good! Even just alone with our all the extra but try it once or you're not living! (lol I haven't had anything I didn't like besides iceberg lettuce- it's a thing I just don't eat lol it's on me! I ate all my chicken though lol I still order this same salad all the time so I can have the chicken and the mango vinaigrette and just don't eat the lettuce okay so again it's a me thing!!) Chefs kiss hit em five times And yes the emojis make it more expressive

I figured it had been about 5 years since I ate here, and based on the date of my last review, it was! Time for an update, and I'm happy to report that La Cocina de Mama is still a solid restaurant choice. We dropped in for an early dinner without a reservation, and we were pleased to be able to be seated immediately. Our server quickly took drink orders and delivered them back to the table. The menu is huge, and it has some good favorites (burritos, chicken tortilla soup, taco salad), and some more inventive options. They also have a gluten-free section, which makes it easy to eat GF here. I probably ate too many chips (the salsa was flavorful without being too spicy), but I still thoroughly enjoyed my entree of Camarones Escondido. The server confirmed my great choice when I ordered. Tender chicken breast covered with sauteed spinach, shrimp and a cheese sauce. It hit the spot, and the ample portion size meant that I had delicious leftovers to enjoy the next day. This may be our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Check it out and you may find that it's your new favorite place too!

It was a busy Saturday night. Several large groups were there but we still got served in a decent amount of time. Friendly server. He has his hands full. From the time we placed our food order til it came out to the table was 7 minutes 30 seconds. The food was presented very clean and pretty. We will definitely go back again.

A delicious cuisine served up by talent in the kitchen!!!Each dish brings WOW factor. The atmosphere and intention built into the Ole Restaurant Group and restaurant itself is apparent. If your wait is long, visit Senora Arepa for an empanda appetizer, a libation, and live music!

Amazing service, ambience and delicious authentic Mexican cantina so closeby! We enjoyed the Mama's dip first which was creamy queso, beef and pico de gallo. The margarita's are top shelf and tasted so smooth!

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I sat at the bar and ordered a sangria ($6). It was a good sangria but the swirl margarita was even better ($7.50). I did learn they have a happy hour! I believe from 3-7. For dinner I decided to get a cup of the soup de tortilla ($5.99) and the salmon tacos ($16.99). I was hungry but did not finish it all. There were 3 salmon tacos plus a side of rice and black beans. The soup was delicious and full of flavor with crispy tortilla strips on top! The tacos were good too. They had a little fishy flavor but it is salmon. I added some more chipotle sauce and it was yummy! The service was good. They checked on me and made sure I was good with my drinks.

Do not go there! They changed the price I was charged and explained that their menus were not updated, smiling like "yeah I ripped you off". Food horrible - the Pollo de Mama had uncooked vegetables placed on top of an old, cold chicken patty. The mushrooms were directly from the can. The tortilla chips were old, cold and greasy. Worse Mexican in the city.

Excellent food. The waiter made recommendations. The margaritas were great. The food was delicious and a generous portion. Unfortunately, we were visiting from out of state so it can't be our regular Mexican restaurant
