Mama Roja Mexican Kitchen - Lunch steak fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Went for Sunday funday with 2 of my closest friends & waited for the patio since it was a beautiful day. Waited about 20 minutes which was no big deal. We were seated & someone came & took our drink orders & we ordered appetizers. Then our server came with waters, introduced herself, and gave us an update on drinks and apps. We shared the guacamole & loaded queso. I had a strawberry marg as did my friend and my other friend had a beer. We ordered entrees. I ordered the tamales, my friend the birria crisp and my other friend tortilla soup. We chatted, ate, drank and enjoyed each others' company. Entrees arrived hot & fresh. Everything was delicious. The fact this restaurant uses a team model and everyone is so caring and friendly will keep us coming back again and again. (Not to mention the food & drinks were great!) read more

"Mama Roja Mexican Kitchen has been one of my husband's and my favorite go-to spots for years. We always enjoy the beautiful Lake Hefner waterfront view, which creates such a relaxing atmosphere whether it's lunch, dinner, or a sunset evening out. Their homemade sangria is one of our favorites, and we love the additional salsa choices that make the experience feel unique. The homemade tamales have always been a favorite as well. The combination of food choices, beautiful scenery, and atmosphere keeps us coming back time and time again. Recently, the quality of the food has become a little more hit or miss depending on the dish, but we still enjoy the overall experience and hope to continue seeing consistency improve."

*Edit: To the business owner who replied and asked me to send a private message: I can't message the business from my end so how do I send a message? You need to turn messages on! Please let the chefs know that whatever tool they are using that has black fibers it is coming off into the food. I had lunch with family yesterday and had my chicken taco salad leftovers today and found plastic, black fibers, from a brush in the restaurant's kitchen maybe? Another disappointing thing about the dish is that there wasn't much of the chicken meat in it. It was definitely less than a cup in there and filled mostly with the beans. And what was strange was that the lettuce was put at the very bottom and it got soggy. The taco salad also had unique presentation of dumping the queso, guacamole, and sour cream on top of the bowl, so if you don't like that be sure to ask for them separated. A guy who wasn't our waitress took our chips, salsa and queso, and chip plates without asking if we were done and it made us feel rushed. The chips weren't that good, but I was still enjoying the salsa! Overall, I don't think I'll come back here since finding stuff in my food put me off. read more

Margaritas for my guests, and warm chips with salsa, cheese. The lunch choices were very good and choice of Telmex if you like. Clean food, restaurant, very nice hostess and waiter. The lake view out of each large window, sundown, beautiful. One of my favorite places to enjoy Mexican food. read more

Food & drinks were so yummy! Great service, quickly got appetizers & drinks. Would recommend- we will definitely be back

Mama Rojas's is what I would call upscale Mexican cuisine. Saying that you can expect it to be a little pricey and a high end atmosphere. No disappointment there. Being situated on Lake Hefner is picturesque all by itself. The food tastes good. However we are talking a bout a more of an Americanized Tex-Mex style rather than authentic south of the boarder. I mean come on who puts American Cheese in an enchilada? LOL So depending on your expectations of style and whether you value ambiance more than authenticity than Mama Roja's is a beautiful place to go get good tasting food but be prepared to lay down a little more cash. read more

The food was really good. Service was fantastic. The only reason I deducted a star was because it's so incredibly loud in there. We had the cheese/onion enchiladas and they were fantastic. We also had a ground beef taco salad without the shell. It was one of my favorites. read more

We went as a large group and had ample room. We were started off with complimentary chips, salsa & queso- which was so good! I ordered a Strawberry Pina Colada and was disappointed they did not have the colada mix! I ordered a Mama Rosa s Strawberry Margarita instead, which was so good and came in a frosted mug. I also had the Cozumel Cosmo which had pear vodka and was delicious. For dinner I ordered carne asada with rice and refried beans and it was perfect. I will say it was super loud there, so if you're looking for a nice quiet atmosphere this is not it hit our group was comfortable bc we could speak with fearing we were too loud. They have various table setups for any group, a private room and a beautiful outdoor area. Definitely someplace I would return to! read more

The ambiance is the best part of a visit to Mama Roja's. It sits on Lake Hefner and has spectacular views. The inside is very pretty and classy upscale. Beautifully tall columns, striking stone tile flooring, and lots of beautiful plants. The food was excellent: served hot with lots of flavor. We really enjoyed the combo fajitas. Service was great and they made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back again. read more

I have to say the best thing was the chips, the salsa, and the queso. After that said to say it went downhill, we had ordered some onions and peppers that never came until the very end it took forever for tortillas to come out to the table and by the time that I had to remind them about the onions and the peppers, the tortillas in the queso were coldthe lack of attention or checking in if we needed anything was not there oh the other good thing was the rice. The rice was good beef on the street tacos were dry and I think people go here for the ambience and not the food. read more

My sister wanted to go to Mama Rojas for her birthday April 19. Christian was our waiter and he did such a good job waiting on us. However, my sister and I ordered the chili relleno and it was Awful!! The pepper was covered in a thick batter like someone had molded cornbread around it. There was no contents inside the pepper. When I finished my meal I had a plateful of cornbread piled up. She ordered a margarita that she would not drink because she said it tasted like kerosene. My husband wasn't thrilled with his meal either. Needless to say, that was a good $80+ down the drain and a sad birthday dinner. Adios Mama Roja! read more

Food was overpriced. My fajita cost 22.oo for a precioked chicken breast. NO FLAVOR. On top of raw vegetables in a hot cast iron plate. No oil or flavor. My beans and rice came on the same cast iron plate in a small dish literally three bites of each from a spoon. My margarita was in a small cocktail glass it too was a premix for 12.00. Server was great chips were fresh. DONT EAT HERE if you want actually cooked tex mex read more

My dining experience today was amazing. First things first, our server was exceptional. He really knew how to turn our day around. My dog died today and somehow, he was able to make us laugh. This is no average server. I wish i caught his name but what I did catch was a picture of him so I'll attach it on here. Ask for him!!! I got a mango avocado salad with shrimp, so yummy! the tortillas are nice and warm too. Me and my wife will definitely be returning!!! Thank you read more

Well my wife loves this place! I like it ok!! My waiter was probably new? He did ok, but a few things could have been better. Even though he repeated my order back to me most of the order was wrong! I'm not going to go into detail. He did offer to make it right, but I did not want to wait, and end up eating alone! I will go back, because I know that most of their food is Good!! Just a bad night! Oh our Margarita was real sour! There is more? But I've already said too much! Again I'll go back, and just hope it's like it usually is, Pretty Good!! Richard W. read more

Went for the first time and it was so filling. We got on the waitlist on our way to the restaurant and by the time we were there we only had to wait 5 minutes on a Saturday night to be seated. We got a seat by the lake and it was great. Server was so attentive and kind. The food was amazing and we were stuffed by the time we left. We wanted to try a dessert but we couldn't eat anymore! We will have to come back! read more

Our server was wonderful, it was the food, terrible! The taste was awful and beans were not at temperature! Would I return, probably not.

We went here on New Year's Eve with our family around 7:30pm and got seated right away! Even though we made a reservation through Yelp on the waitlist our table was ready early! Queso is delicious! I had the steak quesadilla and it did not disappoint! read more

First time visiting here and it was amazing! We had Demi has our waitress and she absolutely went above and beyond. She made me a strawberry lemonade even though it wasn't on the menu and added a cute strawberry garnish. The lemonade was delicious as was our food. I ordered the carne asada tacos and threw some of their tomatillo avocado sauce on them I can't even describe how good this food was. I also got two meals out of it! The restaurant itself is located right on Lake Hefner so we got a beautiful view of the lake while we ate. It is also wheelchair friendly! Had no issues getting around in my chair, although the bathroom door is quite heavy for wheelchair users the staff was really on it for opening doors and making sure I could get around easily though. Overall a great experience and already planning on talking to my partner about coming back for our anniversary dinner. Highly recommend! read more

They did not bring out chips for a long time, when we got them we got food right afterwards. So by that time didn't really want chips. They also didn't ask if we wanted sopapillas, didn't receive very good service. read more

The food was delicious, as usual, and the service was great! The views of the lake always make for a nice setting! We had the usual chips and salsa and added the loaded queso blanco as an appetizer. For the meals, we had the Cadillac burrito in a bowl and the cilantro lime rice bowl with the apple mango salsa! Everything was delicious and we even found a little bit of extra love mixed in with the chips. read more

Ambiance was great. Service could have been more consistent. A few things had to be asked for twice. Food good

It had been right years since I dined at this restaurant, now I can see why. The location was the reason I choose this place. My family was visiting for the first time and they decided on Mexican and so I decided why not have a view with dinner. That was the highlight of the meal. Service was medicore at best. The setup was terrible! A bowl of broken chips which were barely enough to dip was not a good way to start out! I think the server would have noticed that it was the bottom remnants that were in the bowl. She quickly replaced with a fresh bowl. Luckily the group wasn't hungry! I ordered the ceviche for my entree! It was edible but barely, very overseasoned with salt. The others ordered ala carte and we left shortly after the meal. Like I said the view was impressive just wished the meal was the same. read more

The food was phenomenal. The service was excellent, and the Ambience was relaxing and most pleasant.

After walking park of the trail at Lake Hefner we decided to have lunch at Mama Roja. Although there are quite a few choices we were craving Mexican Food and this place did not disappoint. They have options for indoor and patio seating. We asked for an inside table looking out at the lake and our hostess happily seated us. Our server Demi was very friendly. The highlight for me was when she brought chips and salsa she also brought ramekins of queso cheese dip- yum. I forgot to take pictures of our food but it was delicious. I had the cilantro lime bowl with steak and it was full of flavor (lime plus something spicy) with a beautiful avocado on it. The steak was literally the most tender steak I've had on a dish like this- melted in my mouth. My husband had the carne asada tacos and said they were flavorful. He really liked the refried beans- said they had a good flavor. When we were finished with our meal the manager came over and gave us a coupon to rerun because the server told her it was our first time there.. that was the topper to an already excellent experience and we will be back this week. The restaurant is very large, clean and aesthetically appealing. The staff we came in contact with (hostess, servers and manager ) were all very friendly. With a variety of choices to eat along Lake Hefner I would still choose Mama Roja's. read more

Great food! We only waited a few minutes. The view of the lake is beautiful. We have never had a bad experience.

Love the atmosphere! ! Delicious food! Cameron was an awesome server!!! Nothing was ever empty!

My sister was in town visiting from FL and I wanted to take her to lunch somewhere with a nice view. We arrived quite early and requested a table near the window and got one of the best tables! Daria was absolutely amazing and her kindness alone would make me return. Our server Ricardo was very attentive and kept our drinks full and made sure our meal was out in a timely manner. We both ordered the taco special. I ordered a shrimp taco and fish taco and a side of rice and beans. It was all so very good! I think my favorite was the shrimp tacos. They both have a relish/ salsa on them that is phenomenal and pairs so very nicely with the proteins. read more

Not trying to knock this restaurant (I've always been a fan of the Hal Smith establishments), but just a heads up if you decide to eat here. Somebody tried to break into my truck on Sunday 8/24/25 between 5:45 and 7:00p. I am now at a loss of $500. The dinner was excellent per usual, but please be cautious of where you choose to park. I don't know why this had to happen to me while eating dinner with family, but it did and it happened in their parking lot. read more

Food is not authentic as claimed. Fajitas (beef) were seasoned nothing close to Mexican seasoning. Service, however, was very good. Ambiance was a little on the loud side and ventilation needs to improve as we need to undress in the garage to avoid smelling up the house. read more
