    Super cute restaurant! The temperature of the restaurant was perfect not too cold like all the restaurants in the heat lol. Our food was so delicious we had the huevos rancheros special !! Yummm ,, the refried beans were so flavorful! The kids eggs and ham were eating up in 5 minutes! The service was awesome super kind and polite

    Empanadas and a cup of Fidello and a cup of jicama!

    Decided to stop on an early Wednesday afternoon, empanadas were good and the jamaica drink had good flavor! The fideo was good as well! It was simple which when something is good you don't need to complicate it. However, where it was lacking was in service and in temperature. While everyone around us got service and food rapidly, we waited 15 minutes for our one Jamaica drink. And an additional 10 minutes for the fideo to come out lukewarm which was a disappointment because I think it would've made a good meal great.

    It was very sweet! A great hole in the Mexican place. My boyfriend and I were driving by the area for pottery, and it was in a little shop right next door. It was around 30 people worth of seating and it was a homey rustic look. Some decorations but extremely cute. I took a picture of the coaster. I ordered the enchiladas verde and the horchata. It was delicious and very authentic tasting. Very different from Tex Mex. For the horchata, we were told we could get as many refills as we wanted! Didn't end up taking up that offer, but what amazing service. Service was fast, and I believe the waiter was the owner! We were seated right by the kitchen and they gave fantastic service.

    Wow! We started by ordering a half dozen empanadas: two beef, two chicken and cheese, and two "Dessert" Empanadas de Manzana containing apple , walnuts and raisins. My favorite was the combination of chicken and cheese where the seasoning was forward and just honestly incredible. For the beef they provided a wonderful chimichurri salsa, and it was so good that I found myself eating the leftover chimichurri with my cutlery. We tried the Enchilada Verdes off the regular menu and the Mexican Mom chicken on the weekly menu. They have a limited menu and I think I actually appreciate that. The one side has their empanadas and appetizers and regular dishes, the other side is a "weekly" menu that changes every week so you never know quite what you will find on it. We decided to try the Enchiladas Verdes and the award-winning Mexican Mom chicken. Special mention to the white rice on that plate, moist and flavorful with cheese on top. The chicken sauce had a brilliant flavor profile from the onion and carrots and mushrooms, slightly sweet and a hint of spicy. So this place has a lot of charm and appeal. It is not like a normal restaurant, has a lot of personality. Some of the food was a little spicy for Mr. Picky, but his Horchata drink helped get him through that. The big question was what to order for dessert. We settled on and enjoyed the Chocolate Tres Leches and a special banana dessert not shown on the menu. Overall, a great new find to add to our good restaurants list.

    Breakfast Tacos 1potato and 1 chorizo!

    Had breakfast there today and was excellent! Not your typical huevos rancheros or tacos. Ingredients were fresh and red sauce was bomb. we're definitely going back for breakfast again. Great service too!

    I stopped by Mexican Mom Cocina Tradicional for breakfast today, and it's easily one of the most authentic Mexican spots I've had in Spring. The horchata stood out right away, perfectly sweet and easily one of the best I've found in the city. I ordered the chorizo breakfast tacos, which were solid, and the huevos ahogados with frijoles charros, both full of flavor and well-prepared. The empanadas were also great, especially the chicken and cheese, that one was my favorite. To finish, I tried the pan de elote, and it was excellent. Overall, a really strong breakfast experience with authentic flavors across the board. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

    Mexican Mom has quickly become one of our weekend go-to spots. My husband and I have visited on several occasions, and every time has been a hit. One of the things we love most is that their weekend dishes often change--so there's always something new to try. It keeps the experience exciting, and so far, we've never been disappointed. The flavors are rich, authentic, and clearly made with love--just like something your abuela would make. From traditional favorites to unique weekend specials, everything has tasted fresh and homemade. On top of the amazing food, the customer service is always warm and welcoming. You can really feel the pride they take in what they do. Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, you're treated like family. Highly recommend giving this gem a try--especially on the weekends when the surprise dishes roll out!

    This small place is fantastic, food is fresh purchased daily. The owner is friendly and kind, took his time to talk to us, offered options. Definitely recommend and will be back

    Absolutely perfect. The food was authentic and tastes so so good. We had the empanadas and the enchiladas. The owners are so friendly and personable. We will be back.

    Mexican mom & Heimy- super kind & professional

    This place is TOP notch 5 stars!! Mexican Mom & Jaime (dad) are amazing! We celebrated my husband's 50th milestone birthday & they helped make it extra special. The inside is warm & inviting- intimate family atmosphere. All the food from the pico, queso & empanadas are fresh & superb. Everyone's entrees were tasty as well- a HUGE thank you to this establishment for helping us make this a memorable celebration for our family. We simply can not be more pleased.

    Eric E.

    This place is an absolute gem. Cozy and quiet atmosphere. Only a few tables and great personalized service from the owner. The food is the star though. This is real Mexican food that would be served at family meals. It is not Tex-Mex at all. The thought and care they put into the weekly rotating menu is why we keep going back. Fantastic place!

    I visited here during happy hour one day. I'd previously visited one of their other locations…read moreseveral years ago since I heard they had really great cheese enchiladas. On this visit I just wanted a drink and a small bite though. Upon walking in, the restaurant was nearly full and bustling. I spotted some seats over at the bar area in the back right so I sat there. There are happy hour specials ending at 6pm weekdays but the bartender told me about the daily specials and how the Natalitas margarita was stronger than the happy hour one for about the same price, so I chose that one. I ordered the large for $10.25 which comes in an 18 oz large glass. After looking at the menu, I settled on one of my typical orders at happy hour, the small (8 in) beef fajita quesadilla. This comes out after about 10 mins and it has the typical sour cream and guacamole on the sides. There is plenty there to be placed on all 8 of the quesadillas. This is a pretty standard tasting quesadilla, nothing really stood out about it. Same goes for the margarita. Keep in mind this is a discounted drink and made with pre-mixed sweet and sour from a large plastic bucket at the back of the bar area using a house tequila and a house orange liquor. I couldn't read the labels on either bottle since they turned them backward during my entire visit. Not sure if they do this on purpose or not. Either way, there are better quality margarita options obviously, using fresh juice they store in their refrigerator and a margarita that is actually shaken. The discounted ones are so discounted, they actually just pour the ingredients into an ice filled glass and ask you to stir it yourself when they place it in front of you. Either way, it is a convenient location and the prices of their entrees are reasonable compared to some other Mexican restaurants around town. I don't think I saw any dish above 18.99. Mondays look to be a good day to come for their Patron margarita special for around $10.99.
