Bland. Pricey but a lot of food. I went right before 8 on a Saturday. I had to pour salt on all my food. The beef in my taco was more white than brown. So dry I choked a bit and didn't finish it. I got my order in about 3 minutes after placing it. My plate was hotter than my food. My beans were not very warm. Rice was dry and completely flavorless. Guacamole was clearly not made fresh. Not sure what was. Maybe this was a rough night for them, but the place was nearly empty around 8. The presidente margarita was fantastic but a lot of ice. Salsa was good. What can ya do. read more

Food is amazing, and service is really nice! It's almost never busy, and the atmosphere is pretty chill.

This will be my first time to ever leave a review on anything, but after eating here I felt like I had to. We decided to eat here based off the reviews and honestly either people are lying or something has went terribly wrong. Nothing had flavor, the refried beans tasted like water, the rice tasted old the fajitas came out burnt, and we immediately took the meat off the skillet to prevent that from happening, but unfortunately, we were too late. The chicken steak and shrimp were all dry, burnt and had zero seasoning. I ordered one of my children a beef enchilada that he would not eat so I tried it and I can't tell if the meat was even real it was so bad luckily my other child got a corn dog so at least that was edible since it came from somewhere else. Not to mention most everything on the menu is $20. Honestly the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten, will not be going back. read more

This place came so highly recommended that we skipped our usual favorite and came to try it out. Sadly we were disappointed. Food was bland , burrito was cold in the middle. Nachos were pretty good. We probably should've known something was up when we pulled in at 12 o'clock on a Saturday and there was nobody else there. read more

A couple of days ago I went in to have my usual favorite dish: vegetable taco salad. No one anywhere does it like Mamavecca's, and it has always been delicious-- except for today. Today they put in spoiled spinach that was undetected visually after it has been sautéed with the other vegetables. However, with every bite there was the sour taste when I eat the spinach. I want to implore the cooks to always use fresh vegetables; there is a big difference in taste. read more

Love this place! They have great food and a great staff. I've treat different things in the menu; It never disappoints. My mom loves the churros read more

They served us a weak attempt at a Peruvian staple for our first stop in. Papa a la huancaina had too little potato, the sauce was thinned out and lacked color, lacked flavor, with no aji heat whatsoever. Also no included hardboiled egg, no olive. My guess is they're simpling it down way too much for the American pallet. That or they're cutting corners doing it too cheaply. Either way it was pretty pathetic, and at nearly $9 also overpriced, especially for what you're given. They did stay open a few extra minutes so we could make it for takeout, so I added back a star. I'm not sure if all of their Peruvian dishes are being done as cheaply as this. But this was an easy one to get right, and they missed pretty badly. If you go maybe stick with their Mexican dishes. read more

We love this hidden gem in Norman for their excellent drink selection and Mexican dishes - it's close to everything but tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the 24th Street businesses north of Robinson and the best place to stop before the hitting up the nearby bowling alley! Recommendations: beergarita, sangria swirl, fajita enchiladas, spicy salsa. read more

My family loves this place. The food is very good and nice if you want something different. The service is great.

Went for lunch and was disappointed in the value. Service was excellent. Had a taco salad, co-worker had the small enchilada lunch plate (one enchilada, rice, beans). One unsweetened tea and a water. $30 bill. For. Lunch. Ground beef in salad was gray. Flavorless, watery queso. The vibe was interesting: if you like loud Spanish version of "Genie in a Bottle" then this is your place. You can get better quality and value at Taco Mayo for half the price. read more

The absolute best IMHO, chips and salsa. The beef fajitas is my favorite dish of all places in Norman.

What a hidden gem! The food was amazing as was the service. The spicy margarita will get you if your not into spicy stuff

Good standard Mexican food restaurant almost no waiting and the food selection is good..they have choice of beers and the dessert is good I t is somewhat noisy but less that several others in town read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican and Peruvian food and a welcoming, relaxed ambience, this is definitely the place! I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan which has a large Hispanic population and consequently very many excellent Mexican restaurants. So, I was prepared not to be as pleased with the food at Mamaveca's here in Oklahoma. But, was I ever wrong! The food and service both at Mamaveca's is the best! It was so good that I went back to the restaurant a second time and brought my sister, brother in law, and nephew, all of whom live here. And they agreed that the food at Mamaveca's was excellent. On top of that, the servers graciously helped me to practice my Spanish in conversation with them. They were congenial, patient, and so helpful! I will definitely return to this establishment as often as I can whenever I'm in town. Five stars for this place (¡Cinco estrellas para este lugar!) read more

I LOVE mamaveca's! Hands down one of my favorite Norman restaurants. Great bar, handmade fluffy tortillas, and DELICIOUS food! Always great service and friendly people. read more

This place opened up near us recently. We went for lunch on a Thursday. Pretty busy for a weekday lunch. We ordered the burrito dinner and enchiladas plate. It came with unlimited chips, salsa, and queso dip. The service was quick and friendly. They refilled our chips and dips without asking. Food was great. It came out fast and hot. Definitely going back. read more

Mamaveca Mexican And Peruvian Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Mamaveca is our favorite restaurant. We love their food, their service, their people, their drinks (margaritas) and PEDRO. William and Monica bing their culture and expertise with the Peruvian food. It is great. If you have not tried it you have missed out. Their Mexican food is fabulous as well. GREST FOOD REASIONABLE PRICED, AND EXCELLENT SERVICE. read more

My husband and I have been here a few times and not impressed with the food or service or the atmosphere. Go to Ted's. It's better by far!

Recently discovering the world of Peruvian food, we have been trying places around the city. I happen to be feeling this type of food while in Norman and discovered this place. It's out of the way, but definitely good food. Their approach is a bit different, Ill even go as far as saying it's a bit cheaply made. I ordered the Lomo Saltado and you don't get much quantity of meat, it's veggie loaded and even the fries were skimped. For the price, I think we should have gotten more food. Taste was spot on though, it just wasn't much food for the price. Great friendly staff and clean dining area. read more

Mamavecas offers both Mexican and Peruvian dishes. We have tried both and both were tasty with good-sized portions. Be brave and try a Peruvian specialty! You wont regret it! read more

I ordered Mexican food which was typical Tex-Mex. Some in our group ordered the Peruvian and said it was very good. The food was fresh and hot. We had a large group and the servers were very fast and accurate. Overall good experience and would probably go back. read more

The food is great. Service is good, but many hidden fees and charges ( charges fee if you buy alcoholic drinks). Management is pain in butt.

Stopped in for lunch today, first time, glad I did as the food was excellent. The chicken tamale w/ sour cream sauce and pork tamale w/ chili sauce are a must if you're a tamale fan! Lunch specials come w/ 2 sides and they offer many to choose from. Chips & salsa were super fresh and the salsa had just the right amount of heat. Very good service and the food came out quickly. Large portions will give you leftovers for the next day. Wish I would have found this place sooner! read more

Friendly service, comfortable atmosphere, large selection of food and its delicious at a reasonable price!

Tried this place for the 1st time last week and all I can say is great food and excellent service! Staff is extremely attentive and friendly. More than one staff member, excluding our server, asked if we needed anything and checked on us. Doesn't seem like a super popular restaurant since the 2 times I've been this week () they weren't super busy and we were seated quickly and even received our food shortly after. The restaurant is not super big but has lots of windows to brighten up the space. I guess it's obvious to say I'll be back since I've already gone back for the second time. read more

Best Mexican food ive ever had. Make sure to get Fajitas, creme corn(really really good) and the flan for desert. Extremely reasonably priced! Will be back! A+++ read more

Everyone says Tarahumara's is the best in Norman.. but this place beats them by a lot! My sister and I went here on a whim because Ted's had an hour wait. We were seated very quickly and had EXCELLENT service. The tamales were the best I've had in a while. Food was overall amazing. read more

Wasn't a huge fan of the food, but maybe it's because I ordered the wrong thing? Creamed corn was good, but the chimichanga wasn't. Service was wonderful though! read more

This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! The service is very fast and very friendly! There is never a wait (why I don't know)! The portions are large and well priced.
