Disappointing Changes in Service, Attitude, and Cleanliness at Mamacita's NASA I've been a regular at Mamacita's on NASA Road 1 for years because when Lalo and Alex were on the floor (especially Lalo as manager), the place had a personal, welcoming feel—you were treated like you mattered every single time. That warmth has faded significantly, particularly more recently with Claudia overseeing more shifts. The overall attitude now often makes the customer feel like the inconvenience, with staff seeming to think they can do no wrong. This shift wasn't present before. A handful of the male waitstaff treat tips as mandatory instead of earned through good service. They frequently disappear for long stretches, leaving tables unattended, and only reappear sporadically. If you leave a lower tip after poor service, the next visit's service gets noticeably worse—it's discouraging and feels retaliatory. (This appears limited to a small group of male servers, based on my experiences.) On top of that, the bathroom stalls are always dirty and nasty, with poor maintenance that stands out compared to the standards I remember from earlier years. It could help if receipts included an option to allocate tips a checkbox for waiter vs. busboy, to better reflect who contributes to the service. It's really sad to see these changes at what used to be my favorite spot for solid Tex-Mex and great hospitality. The food remains tasty, but the decline in personal service, staff attitude, and basic cleanliness has me thinking twice about returning. I hope management addresses these issues,many regulars miss the old vibe and would love to see it restored.

This place is amazing, the food delicious and service was amazing. We had the best waitress. Michaela was sweet, attentive and we couldn’t have asked for a better server. We will be back soon!

This was our second time to eat here, both times the food and service were excellent. Our waiter Alex did a great job taking care of all our needs and was very attentive. I've been eating Mexican food since I was very young. I've tried it all over the world from Thailand to Japan and even Mexico. Mamacita's is very authentic, we especially like the chips which are very crunchy, not oily, flavorful and not too thin. The beef fajita meat is one of the best I've found. Better than Gringo's or The Donkey in Pasadena.

I ordered 4 Street tacos , 3 Fajitas and 1 Brisket Tacos I was not happy with the tacos , I ate 1 Fajitas taco it was very chewy , so I tried another one it was the same then I tried the Brisket taco that was dry. I did let the waitress know about it, she said i would let them know, I didn't hear anything else! I was very disappointed I paid $18 for four Street tacos. I suggest don't order Street tacos.

What a great find. Our server was distinctly patient and cheerful, accommodating and attentive without being overbearing. I don’t normally think much about chips, but these were outstanding. Fresh, crisp, not greasy, perfect amount of salt. I could have filled up on them, especially with the tasty salsa. We tried chalupas and tacos. Everyone was delighted; plates were thoroughly cleaned. Puffy and sweet, sopapillas are a great way to end the meal. As an aside, check out the large tortilla making machine. Quite entertaining to watch the cook make several dozen.

We stopped there for lunch. All dishes were if good quality and service crew was very attentive and friendly. The bar was nicely organized and even with many customers during lunchtime they took care for every customer and got us freshly made tacos. Very delicious!

Fantastic Mexican : Vegetable Soup.

John M Espinosa

Amazing food and very reasonable prices, the atmosphere was great and Gualo took very good care of us. The Cochinita pibil and Birria were very soft and full of flavor, and the portion sizes were good. The good came out super fast, not a long wait I am coming back

I have lived in the area for over 20 years and Mamacita's is one of my top three Mexican restaurants in the Clear Lake area. The food is AMAZING and AUTHENTIC. I have tried so many dishes, but my favorites are (in no particular order) Street Tacos (fajita, I also order a side of queso fresco), chicken flautas, Tacos de Birria, and Caldo Tlalpeño. Mom loves the chorizo and queso flameado and the Mole. I can't wait to try the Pozole. All the staff is very courteous and professional and we love Mr. Andrés. Trust me, you will dine at Mamacita's several times per month. Did I mention the Agua de Horchata (sweet rice water) and drinks? The best. Your chips and salsa bowls will never be empty. My favorite salsa is the red one. You all enjoy and take care. Muy buen provecho.

Good food and margaritas too.

Was craving for Mexican food and this place did not disappoint!

Maui Dallas

Authentic, delicious Mexican fare. This meal, the ceviche, the hot salsa...was all part of a very positive experience! I liked the option to bring up the heat on some dishes, order sauces, usually on others. Our server was so good at her job, it almost felt as though we were being cared for by the owner! Highly recommended. Enjoy!
