Mamacitas Mexican Restaurant NASA |
4 out of 5 stars |
I really liked the entire experience.
Horrible service. We didn't even get to try the food. We were seated but then waited 20 minutes and our order was never taken. Servers kept walking by us but no one stopped. So we walked out and left. Skip this place!
This was our first time eating at Mamacitas-the one near NASA. We would have had a great time, but the waiter made the experience awful. He didn't start out the conversation with the "hi, I'm *blank*" so we didn't get his name. With his attitude the whole time I can see why he probably doesn't do that. The only way I can identify him is that he appeared to be blind/hard of seeing in one eye. He got our drinks which was no red flag. He took our orders, didn't write it down, which isn't a big deal, but he did have to come back a moment later and ask us both questions about our order that we already stated-like if we wanted chicken or beef. He brought us our food. After that we didn't see him till the bill. We didn't get a chance to refill our chips/salsa and someone else-not sure if it was another waiter, finally offered to refill my husbands drink for him. So it wasn't a terrible experience, but could have been better. Not asking for over the top service, but he did bare minimum. Drink order, food order, and bill so the actually waiting on us part was in short supply. Someone else had to provide us the extras-refills etc. So we didn't feel he deserved above and beyond tip. We tipped about 9% since it was all in cash and told him we didn't need change. He comes back after doing the check and asks us again "so you don't need change?" It was obvious to me it was a rhetorical question, because the extra tip cash that went along with the bill was in ones so he didn't have to break any big bills. He proceeds to walk away grunting and shaking his head and stands next to the kitchen door about 10ish feet from our table continuing shaking his head, talking to the staff and looking and pointing directly at us. You don't automatically deserve a big tip. Tipping is based off of what is provided. Bare minimum and grumpy effort won't get far with customers. Plus it will teach him bare minimum and grumpy effort will get a tip no matter what so then why put in an effort? We knew he had an attitude from the beginning, but he proved that our perceived notion of him was correct. Couldn't imagine someone my father's age acting like that in public. Probably wouldn't go back to at least this location.
We had a party of 10 and we had great service. The staff worked together to make sure we had what we needed at all times. No complains on the food either.
Had a great time!
I love mamacitasđđ
I have the vegetarian fajitas, nice size, good flavor and brought to the table sizzling smelling good! The only reason there isn't a photo is because I was hungry and it smelled so good! It didn't last long, it didn't stand a chance.
10/10 from appetizer through dessert. Nachos, salsa, queso, quesadillas, enchiladas, tres leches - all fire. Service was outstanding as well, very friendly and attentive wait staff. This place is a local gem.
Awful, the server ripped us off with the wrong order, never ever go again, the server wasn't doing anything even after we found out he got the wrong order and still charged me with, we didn't get the food that we ordered yet ruined nights with extremely salty heat attack food, terrible place to go, unless you want to ruin your nights. 3 shrimp, 3 sliced fajita chicken, 3 sliced fajita beef, with 4 pieces of sliced pepper for $69.99. I am pretty sure this is rip off.
Good service. Great food. Nice atmosphere
Their chips are thin and crispy but hold up well to their salsa and guacamole. If you like hot, ask for their habanero salsa. The street tacos were very good with plenty of meat.
The chips donât taste fresh they didnât even give us green sauce that was on all the other tables and they forgot our kids meal. The plates are kinda small and the rice and beans have a weird taste I did enjoy the chicken sour cream enchiladas.
This place is always awesome. The food is top notch service outstanding, great atmosphere. If you haven't tried them you are missing out
Food is great, love to come for brunch
The spot for some great Mexican food, hands down best house margaritas and appetizers for a great happy hour or family dinner. I'm there at least twice a week! Can't forget the management team and servers who keep it coming!
The hostess had a problem with the messaging system, and didn't care. Said it was our phone. And argued! The food, as always, was spot on. Waiter was great, changed the whole mood!
We came for the breakfast options. My husband really enjoyed the La Patrona. It had menudo,barbacoa, and eggs on the same plate! He absolutely loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed the Mamacita's plate. Cheese enchiladas with over easy eggs? Divine. The server was kind and friendly.
Oscar is an amazing waiter. His suggestions were spot on and he made sure that we had everything we needed. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We had some of the best food we have ever had. Oscar suggested shrimp taquitos, they were amazing! Thank you.
Ehh it was okay. Service needs to be a little better. I never got a refill on my chips and drink for quite some time. Cheese enchiladas tasted real fake, not authentic at all. Queso was not that great either. This place just wasnât that special. I would choose a different Mexican restaurant before going here again.
The best staff, always accommodating!
Fast and tasty! Met up with some friends here and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We chose the location because of convenience and ended up enjoying the meal!
Great food
Great food and enormous servings. Excellent service by our server Carolina and the entire front line staff. Highly recommend but come hungry!!
Waitress very attentive.. great food and service
The 'Go To' place for NASA retirements. Did not have dinner and went to bar for my (too sweet) margarita.
Good food, service was good but the waitress felt entitled not returning my change. I had to ask for it, wasn't leaving a 40% tip.
The food used to be the best. Now they cut back the portions. Don't pay attention to flavor or spices and it doesn't taste good anymore. It used to be the best tasted Mexican food ever. I was going there for years. Now $18 guacamole made with the littlest guacamoles in the smallest amount of tomatoes and onions. Not paying attention to the spices they used to use. Fajitas not tender. Not delicious. I want back my old cook and recipes and prices that was affordable and the portions were larger. Mamacita's used to be the best. Now they're below average. And it makes me sad and I hope they turn it around. I'll keep you posted... if I go back
Ordered take out. I checked my order and it was missing part if it. I think the girl didn't understand the order. It was fixed reall quick As always the food was delicious!
Update....we live in Galveston and come here when we want Mexican food.. always great food and service.. Always great food and service never a miss! Angie took care of us today and was awesome!!!! Excellent service as usual, Fish is always outstanding. I don't know how he bartends and waits the patio. We had breakfast today and it was great.
I came to the bar to drink and eat and I am very disappointed because the manager on duty didnât do anything after she talk to themđđź
Food and service is always great. Love there refried beans and pretty much everything on the menu!! Highly recommended. Go get some Mamacitas mexican food you won't be disappointed!!
I will never return after today. The food was not ready when i ordered had to wait. Ordered green sauce but did not get chips. So after waiting for my order I asked about chips and she got rude and snappy. I donât know who she is but she just made yall lose me as a customer. I have been coming every week for years TODAY THAT STOPS
Delicious! Update, I had that procedure where you can't eat for almost 2 days, you know the one. Anyway, the only thing I wanted was Mamcitas Migas con Huevos, since I could not drive we ordered delivery, unhappily it arrived without tortillas, I called Mamacita's and after some thoughtful back and forth, the manager jumped in his car and brought me the tortillas AND QUESO! I have been a faithful customer since 1986, he didn't have to, but he did, because I could not drive to pick them up. 5 stars, still a faithful customer.
I ordered a beef chimichanga, there is almost no meat inside!! Itâs all tortilla. Such a waste of money, I do not recommend!
I paid $13.50 for this âhalf order of quesadillasâ!! It is the tiniest container Iâve ever seen, 6â to be exact. I have been a loyal customer, but after this I will not be returning. This was such a rip off.
Great service and food was delicious!!
Our server was Mayckon, and took amazing care of us. Our drinks and food were amazing. We can't wait to try the blackberry basil margarita next time. We will most definitely be back.
Haven't been here in several years. The service was still good, the food was good. It just seems to have lost the atmosphere it had before the remodel. The prices were higher than expected. Overall, it's still good, just not as good as it used to be.
