Guacamole Dip
Jessica C.

Everything was pretty good at Mamacitas. I wasn't very hungry so I just got a chicken soft taco, which was yummy, juicy, and had a nice flavor. I liked the cheese on top. My husband went with a taco combo and said it was a little bit spicy but he liked it. Their drink menu looks really fun-so many different flavors of margaritas. We'd love to come back on a Friday night and try some drinks. Service was excellent.

Fajitas (Mixed)
Herbert H.

I really enjoyed my dinner at Mamacita. Everything was so flavorful. The Fajitas were delicious, with a good portion size. The House margaritas were a hit. The restaurant was clean with a great vibe. Excellent service.

Incredible Murals

Lunch at Mamacita's in Apex, Northern Carolina today was excellent! It was our first time having lunch here and it was really delicious. We arrived right after they opened on a Monday and had the restaurant to ourselves the entire meal! Our server was friendly and very attentive. Our entrees were both excellent and we really enjoyed our meal. The vibe was really cool and the murals were unbelievable! I rated 4-Stars because the music was so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. We would definitely go back!

Dragon fruit and breeze something drink.

Extremely friendly staff, very nice outdoor and indoor seating, kept clean. The right variety of food and drinks. Birria pizza was bomb.

My children love the exotic foods. Fortunately Mamacita became their favorite restaurant nearby. Food and service both are great. The ambiance is nice, too.

Fajita Quesadilla
Iris R.

Mamacita is a good vibe. I love the bright colors & textures of the artwork on the walls. The interior of this restaurant is beautiful. I immediately began to take photos. The staff here is very friendly. Our server was immediately at our table to take a drink order. He even gave some menu recommendations. My friend and I ordered fajitas quesadillas and enchiladas. The highlight of the visit was a robot that brought out our food (see video). It was a neat experience that was completely new to me. The food was so good and the portion size was perfect. We eventually ended up ordering Tres Leches cake. The cake is definitely worth ordering. All and all, I will be visiting this restaurant again.

Although we didn't eat, we were provided chips and salsa which did hit the snack spot. The service was top notch. We were able to ask questions and got a great recommendation for our drink choices. They were amazing! The picture does it somewhat justice but the flight was a fabulous option. The ambiance is cool, great decor and quiet during lunch hour. Or happy hour... we'd go back for sure.

Veggie Chile Relleno
Kathy K.

Dinner out with the hubby, son, daughter -in-love and two grandsons. Fun atmosphere-music was a little loud but the service, the food and the ambiance were all good. We went about 5 pm on a Saturday. Thankfully, we beat the crowd. When we left there were customers waiting. When we were seated they brought complimentary chips and salsa. We ordered the Guacamole and the young lady made it at our table. We also ordered Queso Dip. I thought it was a bit thin but the hubby really enjoyed it. Two of us had the Veggie Chile Relleno. The others had the Pollo Hawaiian and the Enchilada Mamacita. The 2 1/2 year old had the kid's cheeseburger and fries. The 11 month old was had the rice and beans. I also had the House Margarita; it was so-so. When deciding between this Mexican restaurant and another restaurant, the fun attraction that would tip the scale in favor of Mamacita's are the robots that serve the meals. Definite kid pleaser and the adults enjoyed it also!

I love this mural on the rear wall of the restaurant.

My husband planned a date night for us and this was where we had our meal. It is really cute. I love the decor. They have one of those trendy robot servers. The service was fast which was perfect as we were planning on seeing a movie after dinner. The food was delicious and everything was fresh and moist.

Bar area...Not yet fully set up to serve but they will have a full bar
Surelyne L.

We've been waiting for Mamacita to open in the old Mikes BBQ spot in Beaver Creek. It's obvious why it took a bit longer since they've gutted the old interior and made it into a vibrantly gorgeous and inviting space. Seating was very comfortable and well spaced. Service was very good considering we happened upon them after being open for about a day. They don't have their bar set up yet but will have a full bar. The food is what stands out here. They have some unique fusion dishes instead of the more traditional Mexican fare. Everything that we had was very fresh, well flavored and well balanced. This will definitely be one of our go-tos in the area.

Very dry chicken. Can't vouch for the other dishes but left a lot to be desired otherwise.

We had a fantastic dining experience at Cape Fear Seafood Company in Cary. From the moment we…read morewalked in, the Southern hospitality was on full display. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking on us at just the right moments without being overbearing. The food was absolutely delicious. The fried flounder was outstanding--perfectly crispy on the outside, incredibly flaky and fresh on the inside, and not greasy at all. We also tried the Chicken Jarrett, which was incredibly savory, juicy, and packed with flavor. It is a fantastic option if someone in your party wants a break from seafood! If you are looking for top-tier food and a welcoming atmosphere in Cary, this is the place to be. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Our second visit here. 1st time we ate there we ordered shrimp cocktail not realizing it comes…read moreseasoned in Old Bay AND it's warm. The owner/ manager ( not sure which) went out of his way to tell us that next time make sure to order it chilled . Since we're from New England, we weren't familiar with shrimp cocktail like this. No problem at all. This visit when we placed our order and asked our server for chilled shrimp cocktail, we noticed , I'm assuming the manager/owner standing by the kitchen and he asked the server if we we had ordered it cold and then rolled his eyes ......clearly showing his disdain. So I guess Legal Seafood in Boston and even the fantastic waterfront restaurant we ate at recently in Beaufort seem to know it's very much a thing eating it chilled. All that said we decided not to put a dinner order in and requested the check. The server however, was very sweet and efficient , but the guy walking the place with his tablet was pretty rude. We didn't have this experience at the Cape Fear located in Cameron Village. Tonight's experience at the Apex location left a bad taste in our mouth, so to speak.

Lemme tell you... if you already don't know. Daniel's has the best Italian food in Apex. Maybe even…read morethe triangle. We loved the old timey feel and ambiance. From the hostess to our servers. Everyone was incredible. We started our meal with the focaccia bread with marinara. When I tell you We're still thinking about it a week later it's no exaggeration. lol I had the pear, grape and blue cheese salad which was so light and fresh! A way bigger portion than I was expecting. For our mains my wife had The penne ala casa and she thought it was incredible. So flavorful and delicious. the perfect sauce to pasta ratio. I had the lamb cannelloni. What a show stopper. The flavors, the textures all combined into a symphony on my palate. We had to run, so we ordered the tres leche cake to go. Another grand slam. It was amazing. Definitely a must get it you go!

I've been going to Daniels for many years and have generally had good experiences and really…read moreenjoyed the food. However, my last two visits were sorely lacking. On one, my son ordered the chicken Marsala, which we have enjoyed before but it's been a long time. This time it was just perfectly awful. Salty and very little flavor. I kept thinking "where is the Marsala"? Then we went this past Monday night. There was some confusion over the pizza special, which would have been ok except Seth the owner came over and handled the discussion so poorly that even the couple sitting behind us stopped by on their way out to say they were sorry for the exchange we experienced and would not be back. We probably won't be back either, which is a real shame because we are very loyal customers of many years. But there are other good Italian restaurants in the area without rude owners and who will appreciate the business. I'm sure this review will not impact Daniels business or cause Seth to change his demeanor, but just be forewarned that if you have an issue, the owner will not be helpful in resolving.
