Well, our daughter and family took my wife and I here for the first time on Father's Day. I really liked everything about this place. The ambience was very modern and up to date. Service was prompt and friendly. And the food was pretty tasty as well. We'll definitely come back.

I want to start by saying the service here isn't the best. They don't have a host and people were lined up the door, the service is very slow and it felt rushed. I had strawberry margarita it wasn't enjoyable at all, I wasn't a fan, it some weird taste in it. I had the chicken tacos and chicken egg roll both were decent not bad. I'm not sure if I would come back here again. The ambiance wasn't the best it could've been cleaner.

Corn Fritters

Stopped by for some lunch and it was our first time visiting here. We started with the Chorizo and cheese and chips and the corn fritters. The chorizo and cheese was our favorite of the 2 appetizers. Tasted great and went well with the lightly salted chips. The corn fritter were very flat and we expected more of a thicker type of fritter. We both tried a Steak Frita taco and it was very delicious, no complaint's there and would definitely recommend. I ordered the chicken and shrimp Rum Runner. It was different from anything I've had and was absolutely delicious. The shrimp were a very nice size and the chicken was well cooked. Also had corn rice, beans and guacamole. The guacamole is very flavorful. My friend got the enchiladas and also liked them. They even gave her extra sauce when she asked for a to go box so they didn't soak up all the sauce in the fridge and be dry. Absolutely will eat here again! And our server was absolutely great.

Quesadilla

This little spot was sooo tasty!! The queso was good and came with a ton of dip. The quesadilla was cooked to perfection. The margarita? Spicy and I was feeling it after I finished the 1. I would for sure come back here when I'm in town again!

Mamacita's is a great place to stop in while in Trenton, MI. The vibe is amazing. Garage door walls take dining Al fresco to the next level. The food & drinks were served up prompt with a smile. Trenton is in need of more places like Mamacita's!

Margarita with tajin - sitting at the bar

I was visiting from out of town and we decided to come here for some drinks and apps. There were just two of us so we sat at the bar. We were the only people sitting at the bar, so we had no trouble finding seats. Initially, the atmosphere is cute. A lot of windows, cute decor, bright colors, etc. Unfortunately, the initial appearance was short lived after a not so nice greeting from the bartender. I'm always extra friendly and figured she was just having a bad day, but it made things super uncomfortable. We soon found that her shift was just about ending; we knew this because instead of asking if we needed anything else, she just asked if we wanted the check since her shift was ending. I politely declined and mentioned we planned on staying. She wasn't happy about that and walked away. Luckily, the next bartender was super friendly and at least greeted us with a smile and a hello. The rest of our service was fine. The chips and salsa trio were great, and I liked that they had different types of salsa. We also ordered some sort of corn fritter, which was just okay to me. I do agree with some of the other reviewers, in the margaritas being a bit pricey, seeing that some of them come out of a machine.. but overall, a generally nice place for this area.

Good food! Mexican food that actually has some spice to it! Chicken tinga is very good (street tacos). All the salsa are very good as well. My wife highly recommends the Run Runner for dinner!

We live right around the corner from Mamacita's and finally got to try it last night. We started out with the corn fritters with chipotle aioli and they were awesome. We also ordered a pitcher of the frozen margaritas. Our pitcher of margaritas was STRONG and we loved the black salt on the rims. They had a big party of 15 coming in, and asked if we would move tables to accommodate them, we did and the waitress (Madison) was nice enough to cover the app as compensation. My wife had the birria tacos and I had the birria eggrolls. They were both delicious and the consommé to dip in was rich and juicy. Service from Madison was polite and friendly. We love it when a server is genuinely nice and not just buttering us up for a big tip. I love sitting by the garage doors and watching everyone walk by. Bathrooms were clean, food was delicious and the price was just right for a last minute date night. We will definitely return and heard that the basement will have a speakeasy in the near future!

Service is not great, pretty slow. Took awhile to get drinks and food was okay, needs a lot more seasoning.

Really good food! I loved their steak! The waiter was a little quiet when he was talking but over…read moreall a really good place to eat!

The chimichanga changed after we returned after covid, they added some kind of red sauce or salsa I…read moremay not taste the spice but it completely changed the flavor of the chimichangas when they added this. I talked to the manager and he said they did start adding a sauce or salsa. It ruined my favorite dish that we came there for 37 years before Covid. We all would get it. My family decided to celebrate my husband's birthday there very recently I decided what can go wrong with my second favorite Chicken Fajitas. Well, the below is what I got. Only a couple little green pepper pieces, a couple onion pieces and more tomato pieces than both peppers and onions. Where are the peppers and onions? This picture is the whole meal all burnt and dry. This is such a downgrade from a typical fajita. I dipped a chicken piece in sour cream to wash it down, it was dry. I brought it home and my son ate it and couldn't believe what he saw when I said it was Chicken fajitas. He hated it, it lacked all the flavors that make it good and it was hard to chew. I've tried a lot of foods there, I am not fond of anything but the 2 loyal dishes I loved. Both have been destroyed. If you add salsa to a chimichanga then you won't notice a difference but if you don't you certainly will notice the flavor change. For 37 years it was our favorite place, now it's the very bottom of a list of places to eat, actually we have nothing to order from there anymore. I couldn't even enjoy the hot tea, I asked for lemon and was told you don't have any but gave me a lime ruined the tea! I read on one review you said it's the same as it always was there but you're wrong, chimichangas are not as they used to be after adding the red sauce in it, lemons gone, dry fajitas without peppers and onions you can actually taste and see. Your quality of food has definitely changed for the worst, regardless of you saying otherwise. I will not tell people how great your place is anymore but tell them not to go if they're expecting the chimichangas they've loved for years, because they're gone. 2 different restaurants with Chicken fajitas 2 different presentations- which is more desirable looking. And yes this is the amount of fajitas minus 1 small piece of chicken on the last picture that Mexican Gardens gave, for $20- with a little guacamole, sour cream and rice on a side plate. Price is not justifiable to us considering the quality of this dish I got. The last 2 times we went the restaurant wasn't even half full, which is odd considering every other time in the past before past 2 years we had to wait quite a while to get in and not hardly any empty seats. With a table for 8 it took about 5-10 minutes to put it together. The only 2 times in 37 years the restaurant wasn't full and it was a weekend when it's usually very packed in the past, and those 2 times were within about 6 weeks recently this year. So sad it used to be one of the very best, we passed over all other Mexican restaurants to go there, not anymore. So sorry to leave this horrible review but thats how bad our experience was.
