Quick service food. The line moves very quickly and they are efficient at taking and making your order. I got the build your own burrito. My burrito ended up being huge. I like how as you wait to pay they put your burrito on the grill so it continues to stay warm. The burrito was pretty tasty. read more

Mama's Revenge - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

My husband and I loved this restaurant! I had the barbacoa taquitos and really enjoyed them. They were topped with a really tasty avacado crema type sauce. I ate every last bite even though I was pretty full after the first 2 taquitos. My husband enjoyed a burrito. Unlike American Mexican restaurants, chips and salsa aren't included before your meal. We did order chips and salsa at an extra cost. The serving size was quite small with no re-fills. The atmosphere/decor is fun. The seating here is quite cozy and you are seated very close to others, since this place is pretty small. But, we didn't mind. Staff is nice and friendly. read more

As a Mexican, the food and prices here were good! Went with my parents, they also agreed

We stopped here one evening when we were looking for lunch. I must say that not only was this place was the most affordable we visited in Ireland (yes, not just Dublin), but the service was very friendly too. The staff was very generous with their servings of meat in our burrito bowl. The meat was very delicious and all the other sides were fresh and of good quality too. read more

Found this small eatery around the corner from the National museum of archeology. It started to rain, and seemed like a perfect time for me to take a break from touring Dublin and have a quesadilla. The food looked fresh, and the staff were friendly. The line was quite long for such a small space. You can order to stay or to go. There is a lot more seating downstairs, and on a nice day (which was not the day I went) there is seating outside. I wasn't a fan of the cheese in my quesadilla, but the chicken and salsa were good. Prices are pretty fare, the quesadilla and soda totaling at €7.50. Great fro a quick bite, avoid lunch hour when student and faculty are sure to join the line. read more

Mama's Revenge - Chicken quesadillas and mango jarritos - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

I think it's about time and only fair to update my review on Mama's Revenge. My previous review was based on the one on Thomas St which is now closed. This is based on Leinster St, and wow, what a change! It's a cosy little spot, on a busy thoroughfare, and they seem to have a constant steady stream of customers through the door, who are dealt with with humour, candor and swift service. There are lots of little elements that make it a nice spot to hang around, like the 'graffiti wall' that regulars use to proclaim their love of Mama's Revenge, and the downstairs seating area, done up in warm colours in a Mexican looking theme. As for the burrito itself, it was divine. It was put in the oven before serving which ensured the tortilla was nice and warm. I sampled both the chorizo and steak before settling on the steak - how could I not, it was seasoned and marinaded so well, and seriously flavoursome. I got lots of guac, all nicely roughly chopped which is how I like it. They also do sweet potato which I have only seen, besides this, in Little Ass Burrito. Here, it's mashed and smeared on your vege burrito. I didn't get to try it, but it will be on my list for next time. So, on the Burrito Blowout Scale: Restaurant 4 Atmosphere 4 Service 4 Menu variety 4 Value 5 Location 5 Burrito 4 Tortilla 4 Meat 4 Sauce 3 Spice factor 3 Stay togetherness 3 Presentation 4 Portion Size 5 Dispersion of ingredients 3 Besides the burritos, I really like the fact that they do quesadillas, nachos and chile con carne. I will definitely be back. read more

Mama's Revenge - Lots of fans! - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

I have been here three times. The first time was great! On a Friday night, the line was long, but moved quickly, and I got great chicken tacos, with a side of chips & salsa! The second time I went, they were out of both chicken & tortilla chips. This was incredibly disappointing, but I got vegetarian tacos instead, which were okay. The third time, I went for lunch and they were out of both chicken & tortilla chips. I am incredibly disappointed, as I want to patronize this restaurant, but they make it hard to do so. read more

Got a quesadilla, as I'm not hugely fond of burritos with rice in them... Quesadilla was nice with chilli con carne and cheese inside, recommend getting a side of guacamole with it to tame down the spice! This is a great student joint or those on a budget. There is extra seating downstairs. Gave it a 4 instead of 5 stars, because I don't like eating with plastic cutlery and the girl gave everyone else a napkin except me..lol it's the little things!!! read more

Mama's Revenge - Chilli Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

I passed by Mama's Revenge already a couple of times but it needed the burrito blow out for me to go there. It is a bigger shop than it seems, even though I'm glad we found space upstairs - on street level as the downstairs is almost claustrophobic to me. The burrito was rather boring to me - and this time I don't think I can blame my choice for that. Once the burrito is put together they heat it up. A nice touch especially when you have cheese in it. But it took quite some time and in the end they had problems to read who's name was on them so that definitely took away from the experience for me. I'd say it's a nice enough place for students especially with their special students prices but I don't think it will become my favourite burrito place - for that I had too many nice burritos elsewhere by now. read more

I was here last Tuesday as part of yelp's Burrito Blowout. The upstairs seating is tiny- would seat 6 people uncomfortably. Downstairs is much bigger but quite dark and there was a smell of damp. You certainly would not be coming here for the surroundings. I got the classic burrito and a soft drink for €6. The service was slow. Our burritos were made quick enough but then they were put in a heater and it took the guy at the till what seemed like an age to take our money. They were obviously flustered from the crowd of students downstairs who were taking part in a burrito eating contest. Down to the burrito- I got chicken, sour cream, medium heat salsa, pico de gallo, brown rice and pinto beans. I wasn't overly impressed with how all the ingredients were cold to begin with and then when the burrito was made it was heated. I would've liked if the tortilla was heated and the meat, beans and rice were all hot to begin with. Subsequently my burrito was warm at best with many cold parts. That is one of my pet hates, I really feel food should be hot or cold, not warm and not a combination of the two. The one redeeming factor of this burrito was the fact that the flavour was really there. I think it was the pico de gallo that was the main source of flavour and it was actually extremely tasty. If possible I'd give them 2 &1/2 stars as I feel I'm being generous with 3 stars and if it weren't for the tastiness of the ingredients this place would definitely be getting 2 stars. Also just on a side note- they made a point out of guacamole costing an extra 70c. One of our group asked for guacamole, was told by the girl it was extra and said that was ok.. The girl then proceeded to put on the meanest amount of guacamole I've ever seen. It was literally less than a teaspoon. This isn't saffron we're talking about. It's not worth more than its weight in gold. The main ingredient is avocado. You'll get a pack of 2 for less than a euro in aldi/lidl!!! If someone is paying the 70c for guacamole then they should be given a generous amount. It's not gonna break the bank. If I'm honest this really put me off the place. I feel like there are far too many burrito places in Dublin to come back here for a return visit. read more

I was devastated when Taco, Taco at the Epicurean food hall closed its shutter a couple of years ago. I thought I would never again have a perfect burrito in Dublin. I was wrong. I was wandering down town one day looking for lunch and I came across Mamas Revenge. I ordered the Classic Chicken Burritios with everything on it. It was divine. The next day I ran back down town for another hit, this time with extra jalapeños. I knew I was addicted! I now go down here at least once a week, I adore this place. The Quesadillas are divine also! read more

As good as it gets in the (veggie) burrito market! Sweet potato mash and aubergine provide the substance. Long queue but moves as fast as any other burrito place. The spicy option is actually a bit spicy! But like most burrito places in Ireland it is not too spicy :) Generous with the guacamole too ;) read more

The night we had a Yelp event there was also a burrito eating contest. Great idea for a 3 square meter restaurant. Food was actually nice. Ordered chicken burritos & a chili con Carne nachos. Just the right amount of spice. On a scale of 1 to 10, food 7.5, staff 7, cleanliness of restaurant 6.5, bright idea 2. read more

I had one major setback as soon as I got there. They don't accept cards so I had to rush out again to find an ATM. Boooh. Ten minutes later and I'm back, starving. Anyway, onto the burrito business. I ordered their classic burrito, which they say comes with "added fun" such as jalapeños and lettuce. I don't know about the lettuce, but jalapeños are certainly... amusing. Beef, pico de gallo, brown rice and black beans went into the MASSIVE burrito along with some unrequested sour cream and cheese. The sauce was hot, just like it should be. The flavours in my burrito were just right, I loved it. I think this was the first place where the rice actually tasted as rice is supposed to taste when cooked right. That being said, I then tasted a bit of my bfs burrito with chorizo and pinto beans and was somewhat disappointed, the chorizo meat and the sauce it comes in is too fatty and unsavoury. So the choice of ingredients may be a bit hit and miss. To add insult to injury, his burrito was cold, even after going into the small oven where they put all the burritos after rolling them. The ingredients should be hot from being cooked, heating the burrito afterwards won't yield the same results. They only have two (mexican) beers on offer, Modelo and Corona, which isn't very cool. read more

I walk by here everyday and love a good burrito so was delighted to be finally giving this place a go, I normally don't stop as theres always a q! I don't claim to be a burrito expert but from the numerous I've had it know what I like and what I consider to be a good burrito. The burrito: I went for the classic with beef, pinto beans, peppers and onions covered in hot salsa. The beef; fair enough marinated but it could have been any meat, I didn't taste beef at all! The beans were over cooked so just mush, the peppers and onions were cooked into oblivion and cost an extra euro for what was literaly quarter of a pepper. I was warned the salsa was HOT!........em no! The cheese, was there cheese, yes but didn't actually taste of anything and I think a burrito NEEDS a nice strong chedder, not just cheese for the sake of adding it just because it's what people expect. Overall it was a mushy mess that didn't really taste of anything, no individual flavours or textures and I didnt really like that it has been place on grill after being wrapped. The staff are really nice and friendly, pity about the food. Don't think I'll be back read more

Mama's Revenge - This belongs in an Asian restaurant?? No?? - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

Been here a few times. This place is on the small side but I love there food and price. Nothing fancy but good food if you're on the town running around. Customer service is quick and simple, no fussing over you. Get your food and go sit down and eat, then leave. I happen to be a big fan of there burritos. read more

Great addition to Dublin's blossoming burrito-scene, and very handy for students given its location! The place is small but cosy & colourful with a few seats and really friendly staff. Had a lovely chicken burrito here the other day - tender, well flavoured meat, moist rice (something you don't always find around the city - nothing worse than dry crunchy rice in a burrito in my book) and full flavours from the guac, salsa, beans etc. The thing was HUGE - fair play to them for actually wrapping it up! Great value too as they've got a 5.50 student deal. Their burritos are really good, but there are two other big selling points to Mama's which actually surpass the burritos in my opinion: first, the chilli con carne - my Lord it's delicious. Really bloody delicious. Have it on some nachos and you'll be hooked. Second: fresh (i.e. squeezed in front of you) orange juice at good prices (I don't know why 90% of Dublin businesses charge through the nose for OJ, but they do); here you can get a decent size glass of orange nectar for 2 quid...the perfect way to counteract that post-burrito guilt! read more

I don't understand why this place has been getting so many bad reviews on Yelp. Mama's Revenge has been on my list for months and I finally got around to it today. Let's get this straight--this is no Boojum, but they still make an incredible burrito amongst other things. I went in today and ordered a burrito with Chicken and the works and it was delicious. It's great that they heat up the Burrito on a pan/oven briefly before serving so it's all nice and warm. They also make lots of things apart from Burritos which I'm really looking to try in the coming days. I just wish they accepted cards and had a simpler menu--classic, basic and a few other types for Burritos felt a bit weird. It would've been cooler if they just charged people for what they pick to add in their Burrito instead of classifying it (or maybe I'm just too used to Boojum). Overall, this is a solid little joint and I definitely see myself coming back a few times. read more

This place rocks! It's tiny and had a line out the door when we arrived during our family trip to Dublin but the wait was well worth it. The ladies were super helpful and accommodating even with our 3 kids and the busy crowd. Burritos were fresh, huge and delicious! I wish we lived in Dublin because we would definitely be regulars! read more

These peeps make an excellent veggie quesadilla, and the veggie burritos are pretty good too; the Ingredients are fresh and they do a nice value burrito if money is tight and you can't stomach a monster. While the food is pretty tasty, I'd have to take one star away as it gets absolutely jammed at lunch time and the queuing can be mental and annoyingly without logic. They heat the burritos on a grill after they make them, which means you could be there waving your money for a long time while waiting to pay (even when the place isn't as packed I've been left waiting). This makes for a relaxed atmosphere to eat but not a place to turn to if you only have a 30 minute lunch break. read more

Is Mama's revenge sodium poisoning? Maybe I'm being unfair. I just got the basic burrito with no cheese and extra guac and all I could taste was salt. Perhaps its just a bad batch of something that was over-salted. I've gotten used to the idea that burritos are a bundle of really fresh and not very processed ingredients, so maybe I'm spoiled, but for the same money I've definitely had a lot better. read more

Best Mexican food in Dublin hands down. They stuff their burritos to the max but still keep their prices super low. Everything has so much flavor. I got the classic burrito plus which included jalapeños, sour cream, and guacamole. The salsa has just the right amount of spice and the guacamole is perfectly smooth. I also tried the beef nachos and they were fantastic as well. Great mixture of spiced beef, cheese and tortilla chips. The staff was so nice and very quick to take orders and get the food out. It's a pretty small place but there is more seating outside. They offer a discount to students on burritos. Be warned that they only accept cash, no cards. But that's how you know it's good. read more

I'll never be going back there after their practices, standard of food and general customer service and this is from a long time customer. I ordered a burrito as usual, and I was told that they aren't accepting card payments. Nowhere in the shop does it state that so I was quite annoyed. I had to leave the shop, go to the Kilkenny Store, take out money and then come back to be ignored by their staff until they had finished serving three more customers while my burrito went stone cold. They then had the cheek to upsell to us with drinks and coffees, and when I said they could do with a sign about card payments they rudely carried on with what they were saying trying to upsell more. The arrogance of their staff, and cold food means I won't be going back there and I highly recommend you go elsewhere. read more

I tried my first burrito from here yesterday and I have to say j was extremely disappointed. Lack of flavour and way too much water! No one wants a soggy burrito! Yes the price is good, but I would rather pay a little extra for a good burrito. The basic burrito is not good enough when there is so much burrito competition in Dublin. In my opinion, they need to up the stakes and make an improvement. read more

I walked past Mama's a few times before finally stopping in for a bite. The decor was fast food modern. Service was good - though the fast food decor only translates into fastish food. I ordered a veggie burrito with guacamole, jalapenos and no sour cream. I watched the server make the burrito. When I noticed a mass of orange colored stuff being stuffed onto the mound of rice, and beans, I asked what it was. Sweet potatoes - "sweet potatoes? Really?" I should have gone with my initial instinct and asked them to remove the sweet potatoes - the rest of the veggies were good, but the sweet potato was just a huge starch in a sea of starch and fat - in other words, unless you are a sweet potato addict, I would skip it. At 6.70 the burrito was huge - decent value - next time, hold the sweet potato. read more

My first attempt at getting a burrito here failed. This was because I purposefully went there before another engagement and discovered that they only take cash. Usually this isn't a problem but the nearest ATM was a 5 minute walk away on Grafton street. By the time I got there, there wasn't enough time to go back and get a burrito. I tried again a couple of days later and discovered with delight that the burrito was actually worth the wait. The restaurant itself is quite charming and might warrant further investigation but I was there for a burrito and that's what I had. I tend to get my burritos to go and this was no exception. I'll be back! read more

Between love it and get addicted. A friend brought me to this place and now can't stop going there. I love the atmosphere of personal touch and friendliness of the staff, and not less the quality and taste of the food. Everything looks and tastes fresh, organic and of high quality, you can choose what you want, don't have to wait like in restaurants, yet food is getting freshly done right before. And tastes better than in most restaurants. What else would you wish? read more

These guys are great! Pretty central location, pretty wonderful food. I've had burritos in quite a few places, (Pablo Picantes, Burritos and blues, Boojums) and I have to say these guys are the best. My issue with the others is that as a Coeliac I have to have the burrito salad and when I do, the food all ends up becoming the same texture and taste about a quarter of the way through. Not in Mama's though! Their Chorizo burrito is just amazing, and I have testament from someone who could actually eat the burrito the way God intended that it was also amazing! The salad was crisp and wonderful, the sauce was just spicy enough to get the mouth watering and most important, the different flavour stayed different so I inhaled it the whole way through! om nom nom. They also let you write on the walls! Mine is (Chorizo Burrito, fun to say fun to eat!) The only potential issue is that it is quite small, most people get their burritos tie away so when I do get a seat, it's not too noisy and if you need anything brought to your table the staff are right there to hand it to you! They also have papers and some magazines lying around if you want to read them while you eat. :) read more

Great spot for a burrito! I appreciated that they swapped the rice for veggies in my chicken burrito, which was tasty. It was also just the right amount of super spicy. My mouth was pleasantly on fire by the end, a rare experience in dublin. The downstairs area is big enough for comfortable dining in. And they have modelos for €3.50! Like everyone else, my only complaint was the wrapping; could be tidier. But I'm happy to deal with that! read more

Mama's Revenge - Chicken burrito and modelo! - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

Mama's Revenge is a nice, cozy place that goes for the authentic Mexican look. What sets it apart from other burrito dispensaries in Dublin are the variety of sizes. Burritos here come in value, basic, classic and jumbo. Prices range from €4 to €8 with student discounts in between. With all kinds of people passing by every day, all appetites and budgets are catered for here. If you decide to eat in, you can people watch at the tables up against the window or you can go downstairs. While you're waiting for your food, you can have a read of all the various scribbles on their graffiti wall. As for the burritos, the ingredients are fresh with some nice chunky salsa. They also know how to lightly toast the tortillas and they take good care in warming them up before they serve 'em. read more

I've been here a few times for lunch. I have only ever gotten the rice and bean burrito as it is a pretty stellar deal at 4 euros. You pick white or brown rice, black beans or pinto beans (or both), then add cheese, salsa (mild, medium or hot), and sour cream (I always sub the sour cream for lettuce). I appreciate then when I've said I don't want sour cream, they've always offered lettuce. There are a few seats inside with a view out the window, although the place is quite tiny. I saw they offer cider and a few kinds of beer. They also have chocolate chip cookies. read more

3.5 stars Typical burrito bar layout, and once again I was disappointed with the rice. It is so hard to find decent Mexican style rice here. They have two rice choices, white and brown, but I could hardly tell them apart. The meat choices looked very good, two variations of beef, plus chicken and chorizo pork. I went with the chorizo and it was excellent. Filled out the burrito with rice, pinto beans (good but not smashed and refried), pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and I chose the hotter sauce. The burrito was stuffed right to capacity, and it all stayed together. It was quite a meal, really filled me up, with the ingredients well distributed. I would have liked a bit more cheese. The hot sauce was a little bit hotter than I normally aim for, but it was a good stretch, not too much to be uncomfortable. The chorizo was very tasty, I am glad I chose it, but I will go back to have the chunky beef, it looked so good.

Ok so I was in a bit of a hurry and this was the first place I came to that I knew would be quick so I walked on in. The girls behind the counter were all very friendly but as usual when I see a board packed full of ingredients and a queue, I freak out with the pressure and order just about anything or the first thing I see on the board! In this case, it was a vegetarian basic burrito I think. There was nothing basic about it as it was packed to the brim with flavour and tasty goodness. Too bad it was almost cold. The girl had told me at the counter to come back if I wanted it warmer but I was too lazy and hungry to do that. Over all it wasn't the worst burrito ever, apart from the cold part, it was very tasty and reasonably priced. While I might not go again, I wouldn't not recommend it but as others have said, there are plenty of burrito places nearby ;) read more

I came here first with a Groupon or Done Deal and it was really enjoyable. The burrito was tasty and filling. I also got the chips, which were also quite yum. But this time, I came in absolutely ravenous and left leaving disappointed. The meat was dry and there was something quite bland?, not fresh, about the toppings. There are so many burrito places in Dublin really making their mark and I wonder if these guys would stand a chance if they weren't so conveniently located by Trinity College and Merrion Square... read more

Decent, clean, and fast. Food wasn't bad but maybe a bit under-seasoned. Overall a good stop for a fast, cheap bite.

Absolute best burritos in town, I dont care what anyone says! I've been lucky enough to see this place grow from its inception into the bustling burrito metropolis it is today! The options are basic enough, Chicken, Chorizo and Beef with Pinto or Black Beans with all the expected salad trimmings. But they stuff in so much that your burrito comes out looking about as big as one of those Brain Bugs from Starship Troopers. Endless queues around lunchtime and a battle to get your seats downstairs. They provide free Metro newspapers which is always a treat too if you don't have burrito company for the day! The staff are the nicest and will chat to you about literally anything! read more

Man, it's kinda hard to read my old review. I went there today for the first time in a while, and could really only describe the burrito as passable. Also, it's kind of weird that they say you can get your choice of salsa, but don't count pico de gallo among the options. If it were the burrito shop closest to me I'd still go, but I definitely would take Boojum over it. read more

I've been to Mama's Revenge on many occasions and have pretty much made my way through the menu The chorizo burrito is a must have, the flavour of the chorizo runs into everything and is really tasty. I love their chilli con carne and would definitely recommend it, the enchiladas are good too. read more

This place on my first visit was really great. I'm compelled to write a review. Having lived in California for 15 years I'm a bit of a burrito expert if you don't mind me saying. This food was fresh, big and delicious. Mexican lady's working the kitchen. Prep work going on in the background ie. lots of marinaded chicken being fried/grilled. Beans cooking in a big pot. I'm looking forward to going back and really hope the standard keeps up. I took one star off because the cheese wasn't melted and chips/salsa aren't offered on the side for free. Get in there and enjoy read more
