MAMA ROSA in Olive Branch -- warm chips, tasty salsa, the tastiest tacos, and horchata so good you'll want to sip it in slow motion. The ambience is delightful!! Cafe style music. The staff is spectacular and extremely friendly. You must check it out.

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.

Large house margarita. Wiped off the salt rim.

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!!

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.

Maria's Breakfast

Cute little spot!! Went with a friend for Brunch. The food was good, the restaurant was clean, it was decorated very cute, the service was good! I would go back again!

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.

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!

Fajita Chicken Quesadilla
Tarshe C.

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...

Birra tacos

First time here. Nice inside not like most chain Mexican joints. Super fast and great staff. Food, full of flavor and excellent. Look forward to trying the brunch menu. Several options not found in other places. I

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.

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.

Tacos al carbon. Menu said flour tortillas. They were corn tortillas. :(

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.

Everything was on point from service to food to ambiance! We will definitely be back! We all highly recommend and love this place!

Prices seem to keep going up and that is for a medium sandwich. Otherwise still a great sandwich!read more

I'm hoping that the real firehouse is better than this firehouse. If the real firehouse showed up…read moreto a house fire with the same terrible time management as these guys your house would be a pile of ash before they ever arrived. And if the real firehouse had similar accuracy they'd probably hose down every other house on the block except yours. So, on to the blech. I ordered via the app and we did make some changes to some sammiches but nothing your average 3rd grader couldn't read and comprehend. I was informed the order would be ready at 720pm. Well much to my chagrin and shame I didn't get in there until 728pm. I am very much a "if you're early you're on time, if you're on time you're late" kind of guy and I hate when I'm the one who is late. Didn't matter, because my order wasn't ready until 745pm. 25 minutes after it was supposed to be ready. It's not like they were crazy busy, there was exactly one family eating in. 1. Family. 1. As to the accuracy of the order well that was pretty bad too. Toppings which were supposed to be on sandwiches missing, toppings that were asked to not be there left on.... I mean come on read the f-ing order sheet and follow it. I'm not asking you to do multiplication of matrices, I asked you to put fucking mustard on a sandwich. Oh you got me again Firehouse Subs but this is the last time. You're on my no fly list. Enjoy.

This is a sad excuse of a sandwich that is supposed to have mustard (doesn't) and not have bacon (oops does)

2 Crazy Fellas has quickly become one of the best Creole-inspired restaurants I've experienced…read moreoutside of New Orleans. The menu is the perfect size -- not overwhelming -- and everything is priced fairly for the quality you're getting. You can truly tell the food is made fresh. I started with two sides: the crawfish étouffée balls and the Zydeco shrimp. The étouffée balls were made in-house and packed with amazing flavor. The flash-fried shrimp had the perfect amount of crispiness and paired perfectly with that delicious Zydeco sauce they were coated in. After almost getting full from the appetizers alone, I still had to try the catfish Po'Boy -- and wow, that French bread was some of the freshest I've had! The catfish was seasoned perfectly, and the whole sandwich paired great with their homestyle fries. I highly recommend stopping by 2 Crazy Fellas. The food, freshness, and flavors speak for themselves. I already know I'll be back many more times!

I absolutely love this place. Cajun inspired food served by great people in a cozy dining spot…read more They have some local favorite beers on tap, as well as Michelobe Ultra but that's just the start. Boudin Balls, Etouffee, oysters, oysters, oysters!!! If you're looking for something different and aren't scared of a little Cajun Heat, check this place out. You won't regret it...and thank me later for recommending the Zydeco Shrimp.
