It was great. The food is always good, and I love the ambience. Servers are very polite and attentive.

I know for sure they got a good beer selection. Had what I wanted and all the ladies with me ordered drinks. But I will come back and update afterwards. Ok im back with the after update. I can say it was a pleasing experience, the ladies said the drinks where good and strong. They have Modelo Negra if that interest you. I had the street corn appetizer. It was good a little limey but it was not bad to me. For Entree I ran with the Shrimp Tacos and they where good, seasoned and cook perfectly. I had the corn tortillas, they give the option for corn or flour. But I must say the only thing that sucked ass about the whole experience was the Mexican Rice. It was "Trash Can" but other than that, I give it a "Bussin" read more

-Ambiance was great. Nice and clean. -Service bad. Young waitress was nice but apparently new or something. Forgot the waters, silverware, napkins. Everything came at different times. Ordered frozen margaritas, got on the rocks. Ordered Birria quesadilla, got Birria tacos. - Drinks were ok. - Food: salsa, watery cheese dip, good Guacamole, fresh but only avocado nothing else Street Corn good but not great. I prefer grilled over boiled corn. Hot salsa, more like hot sauce Paster tacos, good but no pickeled onions, per menu Birria tacos were bland, same for dip. No flavor. We were told by friends, not to go, but the reviews were positive and pics looked great. So we went anyway. I would say the friend had a fair review. Mama Rosa wasn't bad, but it wasn't worth the price nor the drive. And I really wanted to love this place. Good luck. read more

I don't venture out to Olive Branch often so I had to stop by and I'm glad I did ! I'm giving it 4 stars! Aside from it being very cute in there, the service was outstanding and the food was great! But the drinks were not my favorite. I'm going to come back to try something different. Here's what I ordered: When you can't choose, go with a quesadilla! Their FAJITA STEAK QUESADILLASwere super tasty! I'd get them again for sure. I'll have to come back to try more of their cocktails so that I can find my fit. I got a HOUSE MARGARITA and a skinny top-shelf margarita. read more

If it wasn't for awful service, this would be a 5 star review. Our service with Forrest was awful. We had to order water 3xs, ask for a water refill, our drink order was wrong (house margaritas no salt were delivered with salt on the rim), our chips/salsa order didn't include the salsa we wanted and when we asked a 2nd time it was still wrong, 1 of the sides was wrong but more than all of that later, he had 3 tables and everything took FOREVER. Like 15 minutes from when we asked for the check until it was brought to the table (and then it was wrong, and took more time to get resolved even though we told him we were now in a hurry twice). The good stuff.... Everything by that came from the kitchen was great! Mama Rosa food was top-notch. We ordered the: - Salsa and chips - they have 4 salsa's to choose from but our 2 charge) - Carnitas Tacos with black beans (favorite) - Steak Fajita enchiladas (2nd choice) - Kristina Maria enchiladas (3rd but still very good) - large house margaritas Everyone loved their food - the Mexican rice was delivered instead on the beans and then we were charged for an extra side of beans... Men's bathroom stall wont lock, so we were prisoner until our server returned with the check and 1 in our group needed the bathroom. Please fix!! read more

In town for a conference and it was raining so I selected Mama Rosa based off Yelp reviews and how close it was to my hotel. Inside is not your typical Mexican restaurant. Decorated in a modern way, the only way you could tell it was Mexican were the sombreros at the hostess stand. It's decorated really nice, almost upscale, and it's bright inside. Service is good here. Only thing I didn't like is there are not complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the Baja shrimp tacos. The shrimp were plentiful and plump and seasoned well. The slaw and crema were good too. I got the cilantro rice which I really liked. I'm not a big rice fan but I did enjoy this one. I enjoyed my meal and highly recommend this place despite the price of the meals. read more

This was a cold celebration day. This was a planned event. Plenty of space for our party of 8. The dining area is fresh, updated and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Quick and very responsive. The salsa that comes to the table is an extra fee. We tried different items on the menu. Tacos were our fav. So if you are looking for upscale south of the border food. Try here. read more

Great food, great service, lamb chops well seasoned and tasty. First time here but I'm most definitely returning.

Was looking for a good Mexican spot while visiting Olive Branch. After seeing the reviews, thought we'd give Mama Rosa a try. Doesn't look like a Mexican spot from the outside. It's in a small shopping center and very bright on the inside. Upon entering, very modern and cute decor. The hostess was super sweet and immediately got us sat. Somehow we didn't get any silverware (just menus) but we were able to ask for it later. Our server was Kira. Friendly, gave wonderful recommendations and constantly checked on us throughout the evening. We decided on two of her food recommendations and then Rosita for cocktails. We also did queso. Our queso actually came out a bit cold and wasn't completely melted but she immediately took it back and it came out hot the next time. Our dishes were amazing! The shrimp were big, fresh and the cheese they use is different than other restaurants. The only thing I'd change is charging guests for chips and salsa and then for queso. We ordered chips and queso (no salsa) so it should have only been one charge. Granted it's only an additional 2 dollars so we didn't mention but was just weird to have two separate charges for that. We would definitely come back as the food was amazing, service was good and the staff was super welcoming! read more

We visited here for the first time on Friday for lunch and the food was okay, good but not great. The staff is very friendly and our server Forest was great too. He made some great recommendations. I liked the Chicken quesadillas but they are kind of greasy and wet and way too much meat. But still perfectly seasoned. I wasn't fun of the Birrias Tacos. The shells taste like corn tortillas and I dislike corn tortillas. They did remake them with flavor but still not to my liking. The meat doesn't have much flavor, so the concoction or sauce helps. We didn't have drinks this visit since we were here on a lunch break. But hopefully when we return we get to try the drinks and maybe tray a different dish. The Sweet Tea wasn't sweet but that wasn't a big deal since they had sweetener. The ambiance and decor is beautiful. Pretty colors, beautiful light fixtures and very spacious. Kind of gives me a vibrant Mexican theme. The inside is really pretty though. So if you are in the area I would give them a try. Some of the other tables meals looked really delicious (For instance the chicken rice) So I'll return to try that soon... read more

We randomly stopped in and had no idea what to expect. Wonderful experience and would absolutely return (even though we don't live near Olive Branch). Decor is beautiful and fun, service was A+ in the bar. Menu has a lot of options and it was hard to decide but everything we had was perfect (drinks, salsa, tacos, lamb etc). There was no wait even thought it was a weekend, which is great but I hope more people stop in so that this restaurant can thrive. read more

This is a relatively new place located where Wolf River Brisket used to be. We were seated right away, no waiting. We got chips and salsa which were good. Three of us had tacos, and one had a quesadilla. There were several items on the menu which looked good and interesting. It wasn't your normal fare, they had their own take on Mexican food. It was tastefully decorated and they had music playing but not too loudly. The Tacos Al Cabron said on the menu flour tortilla however it came with corn tortillas. read more

Tried out this new place. It acts as a kinda fancy Mexican. Cloth napkins and everything. It was pretty good; not great. I specifically ordered a taco that said it came with flour tortillas. Alas, it came with corn tortillas. And the corn tortillas completely disintegrated upon trying to eat. The three of us who got tacos were left with a plate of taco filling and little disintegrated pieces of corn tortillas. Also - and I am sounding like a stuck record here - but places have gotten sooooo expensive. This was not inexpensive Mexican. Three of us got tacos and the orders of tacos came with three tacos and the taco meals were $15+. So $5+ per taco?! Cloth napkins and candles don't raise the bar so much as to warrant the price tag. Four people and it was $72 before tip. read more

With visiting a small town it can be challenging to find restaurants outside of the standard chain. I was pleasantly surprised to find a new restaurant in the area. I am always down for Mexican food so it was a win win! This place was the cutest in design. The food was good but the espresso martini stole the show! I highly recommend checking out this place if you're in the area! read more

Have been here a couple of times and the food is good but not great. The service is 5* though, very attentive and helpful. Had one of their specialty enchiladas this time and they use a good amount of chicken and unfortunately doused it with too much lime with the green sauce which overpowered everything else. Also tried the street corn and it was okay at best. Lacked the sweet and spicy flavor along with some savory that typically you get and was instead very heavy on spice only. read more

The service is great! The atmosphere is Mexico meets Celtic bar if that makes sense. The Baja tacos were superb to say the least!! Great ratio of shrimp salsa and cabbage!!! My only complaint which isn't big enough to drop the rating is the chips and salsa, the salsa is bland and for 2 bucks you can go to a standard Mexican restaurant and get same for free, may I suggest make your salsa stand out and it would be worth 2 bucks or more. But next time your there ask for Reese, she was a killer server !! Never let my drink get below 1/2 way and always making sure I was good!!! I'll be back read more

I literally ate hair in the salsa!!! Then when I called my waiter over & showed him without making it known to the customers around us at the table!!! The waiter Forest yes Forest !!! Not the other one because he told us it's two that works here. I had all ready ordered before hand! Mind you he didn't come right back it took 15 to 20 minutes then I said I didn't want me order because I didn't trust the cooks at this point!! He said that he would take care of it. The food came out anyways &&& was wrong might I add !! It was literally Five of us & we are indeed BIG Tippers!! He was all over the place then I didn't want to eat what I ordered because I had just eaten hair !! He said they would give us a discount. I still didn't wanna eat it because how do you trust a chef after that !! Then they didn't get our orders right. When asked for what you pay for on the menu. He brought out substitution and charged us extra for what should've been on the food!! We don't like don't like sending food back at all. Then only discounted my salsa to only charge me for what they left off our food !! Mind you I got charged full price for my food & didn't even eat it . They charged our card for someone else's food & reversed it back on our card. When I went to tell him that's when the guy behind the bar was calling the manager saying they only took off salsa . The manager said did they eat the food the guy behind the bar proceeded to go to our table mind you it was five ppls at our table. They all said she didn't eat & showing my plate. He said it looked like everyone ate !! We all got pissed . They he called back saying he had to be the one to remove the charge off our card & it would take 3 to 5 business days anyway. This is the rude guy behind the bar !!! I told him it just reversed someone else's charges & it will reverse these. I am a professional so I didn't make a big deal around coustmer's. But I will most definitely let everyone know not to go to this restaurant!!! It was very nice & I looked forward to making that one of our eating spots. Don't eat here if you care about hair being in your mouth with your food!! Oh !! The guy behind the bar said that's common & it's impossible to not get hair prepared with you meal !!! read more

Great place! We visited with a large group after a baseball game. Extremely nice and clean. Food was amazing! Margaritas were perfect!

Cochinitas sopes were delicious, something not on the menu at every Mexican restaurant in the area!

Disappointed with lunch today at Mama Rosa's. The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, and spacious. Music was not loud. Hostess and waitress were both very pleasant and attentive. Everything is in line for an upscale experience except the food for the price. if you've treated yourself to Tekila, go back there for better food at about the same price in a comparable atmosphere. If atmosphere is unimportant to you, go the Cinco de Mayo for better food, more of it, and half the price. read more
