Upon arrival, our party of three plus a high chair were quickly seated and promptly given salsa and chips. The menu looked to have many options. We decided to start with the table side Guacamole and the Queso with Chorizo. While the name makes you think it is prepared table side, it actually is not, and the queso is just melted cheese with chorizo on top and not actually a cheese dip. Everything was tasty though and we all walked away stuffed! read more

Service was very good Carnitas and shrimp enchiladas were ok but not great. Margarita was good I feel like this visit deserves 3.75 star, 3 for the food, 5 for the service read more

There is a lot of parking available, even when it's busy. We have been here multiple times when "at the lake" and it's our go to Mexican joint. Tonight our server is was Karen and she was great. She got a number of tables at one time and handled us all professionally. We started with a few orders of queso and then placed our orders. I have the quesobarillas as did another friend of mine and it was fantastic! A few other friends ordered fajitas, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Another friend order the barriaramen. It looked amazed and she said it was fantastic! The drinks were great and the decor is always spot on! Would highly recommend! read more

Mama Cita's - Mexican Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

Plenty of parking. Family orientated. Place was not very busy on a Tuesday. Service was friendly and prompt. Salsa came out in a huge carafe that you could refill your individual small bowls. Salsa didn't seem fresh just ok. Mahi mahi tacos were great. Food in general was pretty good but not excellent. I have had better. Place was clean and could hold many people. Great location. read more

My husband and I ate at Mama Cita's while on our trip over memorial weekend. The staff were so welcoming and the restaurant was clean and inviting. We chose to sit on the patio because it was beautiful out, and enjoyed drinks before getting our food. My blue ocean margarita was delightful!!! I ordered the fajita nachos and my husband got the salsa verde enchiladas, both were delicious and large portions. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great atmosphere and good food! read more

My daughter and I went here for lunch last week before we left town to go home. What a wonderful time we had! The atmosphere and decor are festive and comfortable. The chips and salsa were so flavorful-spices and texture were spot on! Our server, J., was friendly, entertaining, and pleasantly attentive. We very much enjoyed our food, and J. helped us with some ice to help us get our leftovers home. (Great portions, and too many chips!) Thank you for helping us have a memorable weekend! read more

It's Monday night and we decided to go with the very highly recommended Mama Cita's. The chimichangas was the special for the day. The chimichanga was comparable to a gas station burrito...you know what I'm sayin? The Cita rice was cold and the beans tasted like they were fresh out of a can and microwaved. The chips were stale and the salsa was bland at best. Carlos was our waiter and didn't offer water to drink and didn't show any interest in earning his tip. The one and only bright spot was my wife's pina-colada! Not sure how this place has as many 5 stars as it has! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! read more

Tried this place for dinner last night and boy were we pleasantly surprised! Shay was our waitress, and she was such a delight. The atmosphere was good, although it was a a bit empty since it's the off-season, but the food came quick, in large portions, and tasted fantastic! We will definitely pay this play a visit again in the future. read more

The food is good. The menu is strong. Chips and salsa are good. Could be great if the sals had more body. Keep it out of the blender. Service is good, wait staff appears to be speed a little thin during rush hour. The restaurant decode feels authentic. read more

Ambience is good. Sent our food back 3 times to reheat and each time it was returned lukewarm. Two drinks, an order of fajitas and a taco and cheese enchilada ala carte - $75.00!!! So disappointing. read more

I was in town for business and it was Cinco De Mayo, so I had to get Mexican for dinner. What a great experience, atmosphere was energetic, wait staff were pleasant and the food was delicious. I got their white cheese dip chicken fajitas and a regular Margarita. All was top notch!!! I will definitely come back the next time I am in town. read more

As we walked in, our party of 9 got dirty looks from our to-be waitress, who was playing on her phone at a table in the bar. Service was curt - she didn't even ask what we were celebrating (it was a member of our party's birthday, and she had a sash on). We felt rushed and unwelcome. Food was bland. We were disappointed because this place used to be really good. read more

The food is fresh and flavorful. Tortillas are made fresh, along with the guacamole. Great service and fun vibe. read more

First we waited 10 minutes to even have a waiter come to us. The queso was cold and came out about the same time as our food. The waiter messed up my order and the food was lukewarm. It was not even busy at all. We had asked for napkins and he never brought them. I asked for two boxes to go and he brought one. Just over all not a good place. read more

I found my favorite Mexican restaurant in Lake of the Ozarks! We ordered takeout from Mama Cita's for dinner this week and it was outstanding. Loved the free housemade chips and salsa, chicken enchiladas, and beef chimichanga that we tried. The chimichanga was a bit soggy by the time we brought it back to our hotel to eat, but still had great flavor with plenty of ground beef inside. My kids loved the rice, refried beans, and sour cream that came on the side of each entree. The chicken in the enchiladas were SO flavorful and tender; I feel like shredded chicken can sometimes come out dry and flavorless, but not the chicken here! I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu! read more

Was in town for a work trip and came across this hidden gem. The food was amazing but what made this place a 5 stars was the server , Shay. Shay was so personable, and we loved talking to her. She took the time to get to know us and made us feel super welcome in the restaurant !! Will be back!! read more

Stop by on Monday and sat on the patio outside. What a beautiful day for February. Lunch special was great. Service was amazing. I would highly recommend read more

The chips are very light and delicious. The food is very tasty and the service was good. WHY IS THE MUSIC SO LOUD....Do people really enjoy shouting at each other during their meal? Why, why do restaurants think people like going to restaurants where the music is loud???!!! read more

Love this place! This was our first time here, and definitely won't be our last! Jo, our server, was great! Food was delicious and a very reasonable price. My chimichanga was very good, and Joe's giant burrito was incredibly big. Love this place! This was our first time here, and definitely won't be our last! Jo, our server, was great!

Spur of the moment decided to go out with our lake friends for dinner. There were 13 of us so I wasn't sure how that would work on a Saturday night. The wait was 20 mins and they pit us in a room by ourselves which was perfect! The food was great and our waitress was attentive and provided great service. The special Chile Verde was flavorful and tender. I got 2 street tacos and a cheese enchilada with cheese sauce instead of red. It was so good and cheesy! Great experience all around. read more

Nice atmosphere with good Mexican food. My wife had the Chile Relleno and I had the Huevos Rancheros. My wife enjoyed her meal which included rice and beans. The chile itself was awesome. My dish was tasty as well. The restaurant itself is a good size so it would be a great place to eat with the whole family. read more

First time here. Ambiance was festive. Service was great from the host to the wait staff. Very pleasant and welcoming. Food was fresh, flavorful and hot. We will be back for sure! read more

Friendly and ready to please bartender and waitstaff. The food is OK. Food presentation was good. I was not impressed with the fabulous homemade corn tortillas. Margaritas were just OK - too sweet for my taste even asking for a handmade one instead of a house premade. I realize this is deep in the Midwest. I'm CA Mexican Food spoiled. So maybe my expectations are high. The atmosphere is great. The building is large and probably could accommodate a group easily. read more

We came here on a Friday night and were seated right away. Brandie was our bartender and she was so much fun! They brought chips and salsa as soon as we sat. This was probably the worst salsa we have ever had. The people with us liked it, but I was really disappointed. For drinks, we had margaritas, mules, and beer - all very good! For appetizers, as a table, we ordered tableside guac, queso, and onion rings. I was slightly disappointed with the tableside guac because it was not made at the table - the menu gave options for spice level, but this wasn't an option either. The queso was delicious and the others enjoyed the onion rings. We had rice and beans (and made some nachos), 4 soft beef tacos, and the Molchejete for dinner. Everything was really good and the Molchejete was HUGE!! It could have easily fed all 4 of us. Overall, great night and a lot of fun with Brandie. read more

Soooo good. Alondra was so nice and helpful. we will be back for sure. food and aeriv was outstanding

Came here after a long day on the water because we have heard good things! Got there with myself, 4 other friends and then my two children(both under the age of two) and got seated right away no problem no questions asked. Food was good, came out quick but not as big servings as most Mexican restaurants. We got our bill and saw a 20% "large party" fee, which we were not told about at any point of time being there. We asked about it and she said it is mandatory for every group 7 or larger(which we were exactly 7 people INCLUDING my TWO INFANTS!!! We asked why again since we had two infants(who didn't even get their own food since they can't eat much from the restaurant). Server just said it was policy and moved onto the next table. Very unfortunate, would like to be aware of money being spent especially when it's 20% of our bill(somewhat expensive place...) definitely won't be going again. read more

Came with a group of friends on a Tuesday night around 8pm. There was a bunch of people leaving as we walked in and only one other table occupied inside. Service was quick and the restaurant was pretty clean. The tacos and salsa were great. Most of my group wasn't a fan of the chips though - too thick. I was extremely disappointed with the jalapeño margarita I got. It tasted like jalapeños and their juice was shaken up and poured in a cup with little margarita mix. For $14 (that wasn't even the jumbo) I was expecting a tasty and well crafted cocktail and that's not what I got. We all got tacos and everyone enjoyed them. The street tacos were a hit. I would eat here again and recommend to others. read more

I don't often post a review but this was SO bad that I have to. The food was awful. Chicken quesadillas, chicken street tacos and chicken chimichanga. No flavor. Chimichanga wasn't prepared properly more burrito. Queso seems out of a jar. The only thing that was decent were chips and guac. We will not be returning. read more

The best mexican restaurant in Osage Beach! I got the steak street tacos twice in one weekend. They are full of flavor. The salsa and queso are very good. The large queso is huge, so prepare for that. Service is good too, pleasant servers both times here. Building is clean and in nice order. Music plays soft and still able to speak over it. Oh, the chips MELT in your mouth. So good. Go here, you won't regret it. My only regret is I ate the tacos before taking a picture for you. Here is a pic of our best attempt to finish the large queso... Also, the churros.... I've had churros in Mexico and these just as wonderful. Save space in your stomach for one of these. read more

My friends and I were in Osage Beach over Veterans Day weekend and had dinner at Mamacita's based on its Google reviews. What a GREAT choice! From the moment we entered, we had a wonderful experience. We were warmly greeted, and everyone on staff was very friendly and hospitable. We were seated immediately and served chips and dip by a very nice gentleman, and then our waitress, Hailee, came over right away and took our order for drinks and appetizers (a serving of guacamole dip, please!). We had time to study the menu, and she was back quickly to take our food order. Hailee was on-the-spot all evening, stopping by to check if we needed anything and were enjoying our food. And, YES, we enjoyed our food! Everything was so yummy!! I had the chicken chimichanga (and a house margarita--fantastic!), and my friends had the veggie fajita and veggie burrito. Everything was SO delicious, and we finished it all--no leftovers! It was so nice to find a restaurant on a holiday weekend that was so welcoming and didn't have a long wait to be seated. We had a fabulous time and will be back the next time we're at the Lake of the Ozarks! read more

Requested no beans!!! Well guess what. Waitress said she "could dump the salad in a different bowl. Taco meat spoiled!!! Sickening....please be careful what you eat. Never asked how the food was. Maybe understood when most was left on plate. Noisy, seat sticky and all wood.Taco Salad Wish I could give 1/2 star read more
