    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

But I thought that wasn't how reviews should go. So then in my head I started justifying all the ways I could make this 5 star. But - it just wasn't. My food was...okay. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. It was a cool place with grocery items in addition to the restaurant. I'll go back. I'm a sucker for hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants. But my carne asada is probably 3 star. However, the salsa that came with our chips and salsa order was fire! Fresh, spicy, flavorful, colorful. The meal was expensive and just all right. But we shall return I suspect.

Food was fine, the experience and just the vibe was pretty cool. Exceptionally friendly and attentive staff. I'll definitely come back but will probably go with something more "basic" like tacos or a burrito. I had chilaquiles with steak and egg. Eggs were cooked exactly how I asked (over medium). As often occurs the cut of meat for the steak isn't the best cut of steak on the cow so while it wasn't chewy and gristly it wasn't tender and juicy either. Same with the wife's carne asada - we've both had better steaks at other Mexican places around here. The pork rind wagon wheels (I think that's what they were) were good but we got an order of chips and salsa as well ($5.99!!!) because one of the kids wasn't going to touch those wagon wheels no way no how. The salsa is very good - it's the red and the green mixed with pico de gallo and is quite spicy. All in all the experience and the vibe of the place was better than the food but I'm hopeful some different things off the menu would lead to a better eating experience. Don't get me wrong, the food was fine just not great and with the total bill hitting 95 bucks it wasn't worth that. But I will be back to try the street tacos or burritos.

If I am being honest, they were better off in the truck. It had better visibility. It was right there on 178. You can't find this place even if you really want to. There is no sign in the parking lot, on the building, on the door to the entrance, nothing at all. In fact, the day we came, there was a freaking fish fry in front of their door that blocked access. I thought my wife was wrong, apparently she follows them on some shit and knew the speakeasy password. It was also actually cooler outside (outside temp was 94) than inside this place. We ate at the bar and I almost melted. It may have been that devil salsa that also contributed some as well. Anyway, my point is, eating in my car is more comfortable than inside here any day until November comes. The family is nice, I have always loved this place and Frutanas as well. The dude that waited on us was nice too. Not nice enough to wipe my sweat. Speaking of... loose ass Waffle House style napkins are not the move OTTC!! I want them to thrive but between the no signage and obvious ongoing A/C issues this and all places in the brick barn are having, it's gonna be tough. Should put the damn trailer in the parking lot at least. Geez. Food was decent. I liked the cheese dip, other dips were meh. Burrito was not as good as the truck version. Salsa isn't as good as the trucks. Beans were old and stiff. Four starts because they are good people. Needs improving all around. '24 - 57/100
