My daughter told me I needed to try this place so we we're in the area and stopped in. It's a very quaint place if you will in small but it accommodates how busy they are very well considering. When you walk in you can grab a paper menu, you then stand in line and decide what you want. There are certain things that come with free salsa and chips and a free side this is what we chose to get. I had the burrito and my daughter had the quesadilla. When you order they give you a number and based on how busy they were I was pleasantly surprised on how quick you receive your food. I thought the food was very good and I would definitely go back.
I’ve eaten A LOT of Mexican food in my life, and I gotta say I was pretty disappointed with my burrito last night. First off let me say the staff was very friendly. They did they’re job well.My Judge burrito was a different story though. The chicken was sooooo salty. I don’t know if that’s the way it usually is or if I just got a batch that was way over seasoned. My second issue was how soggy the burrito was. It was dripping with water and basically fell apart, and I had to eat it with a fork. I think it was from the black beans not being properly drained. Properly drained beans is burrito 101. I feel like this place is more concerned with the vibe of the restaurant then the food. Such a bummer for someone who loves Mexican food like I do.
I have a few reasons for not giving this a 5 Star - and to preface this, I still go here regularly I just want to make others aware of what happens here. I work in the medical industry and we literally have an hour lunch. Multiple days that we go in here for lunch and there are 3 registers (2 for walk in/eat in and one for to go orders) and on multiple occasions there is only one register being used for a long line of patrons waiting to order. Today was a great example. We got there at 12:08pm. There was one register taking orders, the second register was being used for a phone in order and then the 3rd register (used for to go orders) no one was manning that register. In the meantime, employees are standing around, including the manager. We FINALLY placed our order at 12:22pm. Waiting on the food to be brought to the table isn’t an issue, it is utilizing what you have to offer quick and speedy service and that does not happen here. My other complaint is not nearly as important but I add different things to my order, sides, toppings etc… and if I call in my order, it never fails, I get charged something different every time. No clue how this happens. Food is great and the staff is friendly but they need to get it together so that the rest of us that work too can get back to work on time without having to choke down our lunch.
Always a good time at Taco Mama. They are really consistent with their food, the steak is delicious! No draft beer but my wife loves their margaritas. Everyone is always friendly and attentive. Best place to sit is on either side of the door next to the windows...you catch such a nice breeze there and can see the sun coming down. Love this place!
This was my first time eating in the restaurant and it was better than getting it to go. Great staff and real good food. 5 adults and 5 grandkids and everyone was happy.
Taco Mama is an excellent restaurant! My first experience was, upon walking in the door (after grabbing a to-go menu conveniently placed in a box just outside), I was immediately greeted and given a 'crash course' in putting together my meal with the extensive protiens (meats or plant based), toppings, and sauces on the menu. Was led to the bar and I placed my carryout order (tacos galore, and Jorge's nachos loaded with several of the free toppings). Each employee I encountered was friendly, attentive, and helpful. The wait for my food was minimal, and the food was hot, fresh, and delicious...very good portions!My next trip back a week later, I had the same great experience, though upon getting to my car, I realized part of my order was missing. As I re-entered the restaurant, the server was heading towards me with the missing food...great catch!I highly recommend Taco Mama, you do great work, keep it up!!
I ate here recently and was very pleased. I love salsa and unfortunately most places don’t have a good salsa. Taco Mama definitely does. After ordering and paying at the counter, the food took less than 10 mins to hit our table and everything was to our liking. Will be back
Taco mama? More like"taste like Mama's"Decided on a whim to venture into the lovely adjoining string of restaurants that sit next to LawndalexBattleground and really had a hankering for some tacos, so to Taco Mama's we went!To say I was astonished at the sheer size of the interior of the restaurant would be an understatement. This place is huge! Loads of tables, lots of leg room and a huge menu over the order area/small hand out menus when you come in.The place was packed with a handful of tables remaining but we had a minute to wait in line and look over the menu and make our choice.The 1st surprise came when a waiting personnel came to us in line and asked if we would like a margarita while we waited and of course we said yes. I ordered the seasonal Blood Orange Marg, and she the skinny (low carb) Marg. The blood Orange Marg was absolutely a HIT with it's citrus tones and sweet flavor. The skinny was a standard Marg but made with a low sugar simple syrup.We ordered, waited and vibed at a table that had now become open while waiting and seen the efficiency of the staff. No one needed to leave their seats for anything. You were waited on nonstop for any need.When our food was served, the spread caused our eyes to relay to our stomach, "aye chief, it's friggin go time".The chips were delicate yet crunchy, the salsa fresh and flavorful, the Mexican Mac and cheese mild yet scrumptious, and the burrito was pretty damn good.I won't lie, I was a little lit from the margarita and dos Equis and was just thoroughly enjoying our meals. Take a peek at the pics, I'm still a little lit but had an absolute wonderful time. This is going to become a new after work hangout lol.
Food was fresh and delicious. Chips were really well executed and fresh. If they could manage the ordering process just a bit better it would be 5 star. Food & beverages were top notch. Cooks kept a clean line and management presence on the floor was positive. Bar staff getting people drinks while waiting in line was a nice touch. We will definitely return to get that 5 star food.
Small, clean restaurant in a small strip-style center. Order and pay at the register. They bring the food to your table. Self-serve soda machine. Prices are decent. The food is good for being in Virginia. (I lived in California, where the mexican food was delicious.) Service was good. Interesting decor. Clean restrooms. Rock music was just a bit too loud for my taste. (I like rock. I think I'm getting old and cranky, ?) Overall, a positive experience.
