I did not feel like the space was overly crowded, and my friend and I were able to enjoy good food & conversation just fine. Their smoked salmon Benedict is delicious! As are their breakfast potatoes. I thoroughly enjoyed my dish. Although I did not enjoy their bubblies this time, their abuelita chocolate latte was just as good. What I enjoyed the most was the beautiful but comfortable atmosphere, where my friend and I could catch up peacefully over good brunch. We both agreed that we would come back. It is a perfect "girls brunch" venue. Be sure to make reservations, as they can get busy. You can easily make reservations here on Yelp. Cheers!

I was disappointed in my dining experience last Saturday at Mamimosa's…read more I eat out a lot and was anxious to give them a fair shot after another Yelper made a negative comment about the restaurant following its appearance on Kitchen Undercover. I had hoped to counteract it with a positive review as a diner who had actually visited the restaurant (and then eat there regularly to support the business). Unfortunately... The food wasn't awful but wasn't great (the onions in the omelet needed to be cooked a bit more and were still hard), and the service was disappointing. Examples: First, my server kept looking at the man at the table next to me as I was asking about the menu and trying to order. It was disconcerting and unusual. Next, a carafe of water with fruit in it was brought to my table, which was nice, but when I asked for one with no ice in it (I have sensitive teeth), I was told they didn't have very many carafes and couldn't take the ice out of the one with ice in it. Instead, I watched the carafe sit at another table with no diners (the restaurant wasn't full, by any means) for most of my meal. Meanwhile, I was given a medium-sized cup of water with no ice and no refill throughout the meal until someone brought the check and I asked them to please bring me some water (I'd already drunk the small bottle of emergency water I always keep in my purse and was getting desperate at that point). I did notice a table where a couple had a pitcher of water, but unfortunately that was never offered to me, and I didn't see my server again after I ordered. It seemed to be another server who eventually brought my check. I noticed there were quite a few empty tables for late morning/lunch time. I was surprised by it when I arrived, but not when I left. Honestly, diners can do better. There are too many good restaurants with great food and service to settle for what they offer at Mamimosas. I really, really recommend that they re-train their servers.

I'm not sure if there will be another page for this business when more information is out. But I wanted to leave a review either way, in case people still come looking for this page. I went on their last day at the physical location. There was definitely a feeling of community and good vibes. It wasn't so packed but there were plenty of conversations being had in this small space. It seems like they've cultivated a lot of trust and adoration with their customers. It was my first time here so I went with their chilaquiles rojos and a cafe de olla latte (hot). It didn't take long to come out. At first I thought the portion size of chilaquiles was on the smaller size for the price, but once I tasted them, I didn't mind it. They were so good! Flavorful, covered in red sauce, I love that they topped it with cilantro and onions, it gave it a burst of freshness. The egg was cooked perfectly (they gave me the option of scrambled or fried egg). It wasn't spicy at all (I kinda wish that it was). The latte was amazing as well. You really taste the piloncillo, but it's not overly sweet. I would go just for that drink alone. Everything about my visit was great. I would suggest following them on their socials to get updates about their next business ventures and hopefully news about where to find them next.

There were 4 pieces of chicken and those were crispy. Butter and syrup were provided in separate containers since I ordered as takeout. I also got a breakfast burrito w/ bacon and turkey with no green onions for my friend. My friend ended up loving the burrito! I went close to around 1:30 pm on the weekend so it wasn't busy at that time. It took a few minutes for the order to be ready. The store itself was a small spot that is ideal for groups or 4 or less and takeout. There is street parking right at front but I had to park near the downtown area and walk over.

Fantastic little restaurant with amazing Mexican Food! Not much too eat in with limited space but if you don't mind picking it up and taking it home - this place is the bomb! Great salsa's (many to choose from), you pour your own so get as little or as much as you need. Everything I have tried is great but I just love going there to pick up a bunch of tacos for my family and we just go to town on them. If you are looking for a new Taco Tuesday place than you should try this place out. It is clean inside and the food is always fresh. read more

Decided to give it a try since always on the prowl for good Mexican Food. Good decision. The ambience is very nice with 4 TVs to watch various sports games. There is also a fully stocked bar. Tables in center floor with booth seating as well. Was quickly greeted by friendly young lady who seated me and brought me a glass of Horchata. Had good flavor with plenty of cinnamon and other goodness. Narrowed my selection to a handful of choices: Super Burrito, Taco Salad, Enchiladas Suisas, or Enchiladas a la Crema. I told the server, Madison, l that this was my first time and asked for her recommendation from my list. She said the Taco Salad was really good but said the Enchiladas Suisas were all the rave. I ordered it with a side of Chiles Torreados serranos instead of jalapeños. The green Suisa sauce was tasty with the traditional zesty spice. The entire plate was hot from the typical heating to melt the cheese. The beans and rice were really good. The Enchiladas themselves were also good. I will say though that the chicken inside the enchilada could have been hotter. The chips and salsa were really good. You only get one basket of chips and one refill on the horchata so plan accordingly. Wanted to try a small cup of the albondigas soup but they only sell it in the large portion,l so will have to try on another visit. Madison highly recommended the bread pudding desert with scoop of ice cream. Despite not being a huge fan of bread pudding, I decided to give it a try given her suggestion. WOW!

I understand that when it's time to close it's time to close and go. But if you're serving other people and treating those same people nicer because they're your favorites, well that's not cool.

I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.
