    Beautiful spot! There's a lot of natural sunlight inside making the greenery pop! Love the aesthetic of the restaurant. It's almost like a little escape. We split a few apps: corn, plantains, and taquitos so I have to try out some more food. My favorite had to be the corn. The flavor was really good and I'm always a fan of it cut off the cob. The drinks were good, the one with watermelon and soju was perfect for the warm weather. Service was super super friendly! Everyone was really nice.

    I have to admit I was skeptical considering there are some very good taco choices in the area...but I am very glad to report that this place is a contender. Greeted as soon as you walk in, this place has a chill vibe. We sat at the bar and the awesome bartender gave us a rundown on the menu and drink specials. I had the guavalajara(non spicy) and it was well balanced, not too strong. Once we saw the market guac come out, we knew we were starting with it. We were initially skeptical on guac served in acorn squash but the combo worked surprisingly well! It was also a very nice portion and they came out with more tostadas when we ran out (no charge for extra, thankfully!) Now for tacos... the shrimp with coconut was not what I expected. I thought it was going to be a coconut crusted shrimp and I wish it was because this didn't do it for me. The crispy chicken was ok but the cabbage slaw on top was ehh. The fish taco though..... this was a home run! The batter on the fish was easily the best flavor I've had. Fish was cooked perfectly as well. Kim had the carnitas, chicken and carne asada.... they all were extremely wet, causing the shell to break down, however, she liked the flavors. Would be happy to return here!

    This was our second time coming here. Our first visit was a disaster but that was several months ago so we wanted to give them one more shot. So glad we came back. It is clear that management has stepped up and things are running much more smoothly. Our cocktails were mediocre at best during our first visit. This time they were excellent. My only regret is we didn't have time to have another one! I enjoyed the "It takes two to mango" - I asked for it spicy and it was incredible. We shared the queso fundido and elote. Then we tried some tacos. Everything was excellent. I forgot to take more pics because I was too busy enjoying our food. Also, we had our daughter with us and ordered her a cheese quesadilla kids meal. It came out as a bento box style meal with rice, beans, guacamole, chips and of course the quesadilla. I really appreciated the extra effort and thought they put into a kids meal. Usually kids meals are just thrown on the menu to appease parents but there's nothing special about them. My daughter loved her food and I think the presentation is what motivated her to eat more and try new things. Not for anything, I would even consider ordering a kids meal next time lol. Our server was attentive and you really can't beat the ambiance and decor. The restaurant is gorgeous and comfortable. I really appreciated seeing a manager walking around and checking in with patrons and also helping the servers. So overall I am so glad we didn't let our first visit deter us from returning. I think they were experiencing some growing pains at the time and now they have found their groove.

    I had been wanting to try No Mames, and I finally had the chance recently...absolutely did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the service was incredible. Our waiter guided us toward dishes we'd enjoy and we loved every single bite. The vibe of the space is beautiful, and the food... wow. I've been dreaming about it ever since we left. Truly a must-visit spot!

    My wife and I arrived on Monday at lunch time to find the restaurant completely devoid of customers. The exterior may be mundane, but the interior is amazing. We were warmly greeted by Phil, the manager, on entering and offered a few options for seating. We chose a booth near the bar where Nico, bartender/server extraordinaire, provided us with excellent service throughout. We were seeking a light lunch so tacos were ordered, 2 pastors for her and a pastor and a chorizo for her companion. These "street" tacos proved to be delicious, but would have benefited from being wrapped in a second tortilla as the single tortilla on 2 of the pastor tacos started to shred after a few bites. Overall we were very happy with our meals. A return visit for dinner is in the cards - literally. This restaurant is part of the highly acclaimed Doro Group which is currently offering at any of its several restaurants a free $20 gift card to anyone who in-person purchases a $100 gift card prior to year end. Note: these are valid from January 1- March 31, 2026. We took advantage of this offer before departing.

    I've been wanting to go eat at this restaurant and I am so glad I was finally able to stop in. Everything was amazing! Perfectly flavored, no item that we had was dry. My favorite was the gringo Gordita crunch, had an abundance of cheese and flavor. And if you're going to get an appetizer I highly recommend the taquitos, comes with 3 decent sized taquitos and the were so juicy. Staff were welcoming from entering the restaurant and leaving. There's plenty of space to seat, whether that be at a table, booth or around the bar, I will definitely be back.

    Interesting name for a MX restaurant We had a good time and enjoyed the food , the service and the ambiance. The place is very well done and has a swanky impressive vibe. The red Sangria was very good. We had a number of different tacos, street corn , guac and the pollo asado. Our server was fantastic and fun Glad we stopped in. Try it , you will enjoy !

    "Oh, it ain't no way I tell you that it ain't no way It ain't no way for me to love you If you won't let me" (Aretha Franklin) What on earth does No Mames mean? I had no idea, but the old Google machine just told me it's a Mexican Spanish expression that translates to "no way" or "you're kidding me." OK, not sure how that connects to the name of another Doro Restaurant Group's locations, but we just had a very nice lunch there. Doro has become quite a juggernaut in the Hartford Metropolitan area, with highly regarded eateries including Treva, Àvert, Artisanal Burger Company, Doro Marketplace, Zohara, Casadoro, and now No Mames. No Mames is a Mexican restaurant, but you won't find a lot of the familiar things on their menu that you might be used to seeing in your usual Mexican restaurant. For example -there are no enchiladas, fajitas, or quesadillas. What you will find is a deep menu of authentic Mexican dishes. The three-column menu is organized into a theme- cold appetizers and salads on the left, hot appetizers and tacos in the center, and main courses on the right. We started off with something from the left side under the Antojos (Little Cravings) section. They offered three guacamole choices, and we split a Guacamole Tradicional ($13) served with Housemade Totopos (chips), tortillas, and Crudité (Mexican carrot, jicama, and rainbow radish. There was plenty of guacamole in the serving, so we both had plenty to enjoy with the crunchy vegetables and chips. We both ordered a salad. My wife chose a Shaved Broccoli Salad ($11) with Fennel, Celery, Pistachio, and Goat Cheese. She chose an Orange Vinaigrette for her dressing. I went with a Chopped Salad ($11) with Avocado, Radish, Jicama, and Corn. I added 8 Grilled Shrimp for a $9 add on and went with their Jalapeno Crema dressing. Both salads were large, and we each took home half. The added shrimps were excellent and grilled just right -not overcooked or tough. And I gotta tell ya, if you like spicy, that Jalapeno Crema delivers a wicked slow burn. Another thing I gotta tell ya about was our server, Zoe. She was one of the best we've encountered in months. She was engaging, friendly, helpful, charming, and downright terrific. She gave us some great insight into the menu, refilled our waters automatically, and packed up some extra dressings for our left-over salads. We had a very enjoyable lunch, and the combination of décor, service, food, and value made No Mames a five-star experience for us. PRO TIPS #1 - You'll find it in a big shopping plaza in the space previously occupied by a Pasta Vita. There is tons of parking. #2 - They have a Happy Hour from Mon-Fri / 3pm-6pm with reduced process on food and drink. #3 - The hot rumor is a new Doro Marketplace is coming to Avon, CT.

    Spicy pot de cream with churros. I wish I was having this right now!!

    My husband and I came here for my birthday, continuing our tradition of trying a new Doro Group restaurant (Casadoro last birthday). The service was some of the best we've had in a long time--our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun, and the manager was very visible. The food was amazing--easily some of the best tacos we've ever had (and we've had a lot!). The market guacamole and spiced pot de crème were standouts and worth coming back for alone. Drinks were some of the best too! Highly recommend--hope this place is around for a long time!

    I've been wanting to try No Mames since they opened and tonight, after stopping at Marshall's, I finally did just that! My daughter and I came in before the dinner rush. We sampled a few menu items like the chicken taquitos, ceviche, beef tongue taco, beef kids tacos plate and the spiced pot de crème dessert with vanilla churros. Everything was truly amazing and we're so glad we got our taco fix this fine Tuesday. Will be back since we were seated next to the open kitchen and happily watched delicious dinners coming out. Thank you No Mames!

    Fresh and full of flavor! And Phil the manager was so much fun! I went to No Mames in Wethersfield with a couple coworkers for lunch. This New Mexican cantina was everything we wanted and more. The margaritas were on point, the tacos were delicious and the vibes were just right. The ambiance was also great. Very trendy and the lanterns that were hanging from the ceiling were so beautiful! My favorite appetizers were the acorn squash guacamole, and the plantains. I also tried the fish taco and the carne asada taco with the chimichurri. Both were delicious. Dessert was also amazing. Being a part of the Doro company I didn't expect anything less. We had the warm churros with a chocolate mousse and whipped cream and a white chocolate dessert that looked like a piece of elote corn. It was created so beautifully, I didn't want to eat it! But I'm glad I did because it was phenomenal. What a great experience, I'll definitely be back!

    My first time at no mames was amazing! We got the El Festin with steak for 3 people. The board that came out was just beautiful. While pricey, it's definitely worth the money. The steak here is so good, I'll be back for it! Our server Michael was great, very helpful and energetic. so was Phill! This restaurant has a great feel to it and I think it's largely due to the staff.

    Jen H.

    With the various bites and tastes at No Mames, I'm always excited to try everything that comes on the menu. Whether it's seasonal guacamole (and I'm a fan when it's crab), yucca fries, or al pastor tacos, there's something for everyone here. I've had date night with my husband, team dinners, and friendly happy hours here and all have been a blast. Beautiful drinks, delicious food, beautiful desserts, ready to head back already!

We were seated at a booth, but quickly moved to the bar where the bartender made our concoctions, chatted with us, and talked about the old distillery that was before the parlor. I got the Smoke Break; mezcal, wild moon sumac, apricot, amaro del capo, lime and absinthe. It was very good, very smoky, but the perfect balance. And of course, the birthday is not complete without shots!

The aesthetic is still gorgeous, the vibe is still immaculate, and the space feels both cozy and fun. They even have games tucked away so you can hang out longer, which makes it feel like more than just a bar or restaurant. This time I came for dinner and ordered the steak, which was perfectly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I also tried the lamb (not usually my thing), but my friend who loves lamb absolutely cleared her plate. So that tells you everything you need to know. Even without having a cocktail this time (I just had water), the experience was still great, which says a lot about the atmosphere and service. We also did this fun blindfolded dessert experience where you're blindfolded and try to guess what you're eating. Its super unique and actually really good. I wish they gave us a little card explaining it, but it was still such a cool touch. Between the food, the ambiance, the creative touches, and the overall vibe, this place just keeps delivering. Whether you're going for brunch, dinner, drinks, or a fun night out, this spot is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely keep coming back.
