    Potato jalapeño
    Shawn P.

    Great spot for some yummy Mexican! Had the shrimp Diablo quesadilla, it was good, not enough diablo for me. I like it hot. Though the shrimp were good sized and cooked well. Also had one of the potato wrapped jalapeños with the strawberry hot jelly. YUM!! That was very unique and delicious, I highly recommend. The service was great and the spot was cute. All around great time. I wish I had my sweater bc it was chilly in there.

    Grilled shrimp

    As always, great tasting food and ice cold drinks. This time, I tried the grilled shrimp tacoThe shrimp was well seasoned and succulent. Steak and carnitas street tacos, and the Shane special was also ordered. The hollandaise was on point and overall, the dish had a nice spicy kick. We sat outside as it's a beautiful day. It was warm but a nice breeze with the fans. Next time, I'll get the Shane special and share photos! Our waitress was super nice!

    Shrimp tacos ($13)

    My family was looking for places with plant-based options since one of us in the party does not eat meat, and this restaurant popped up. They have an enormous menu with some decent veggie options and many kinds of meat. We tried the shrimp tacos and fish tacos (mahi mahi), and at $13 each including rice and beans, the meal ends up being pretty affordable. I got the specialty crispy cauliflower tacos which had a variety of textures and flavors. Everything came out in about 15 minutes. Everyone loved the tacos and beans. However, the rice was not fully cooked and not fresh with many hard-to-chew, uncooked grains. There is free salsa and chips for the table, but the salsa we got was quite spicy! I guess tacos are their specialty though, and they certainly do them well! Personally wish they would have more vegetarian/vegan options and I think they would taste really good here, but I know that's not their primary audience. Service was okay; our waitress seemed tired and wasn't always available/visible when needed to order food or get the bill, but she was fine for the most part.

    Al pastor tacos with rice (cilantro lime) and beans

    Fantastic authentic Al pastor tacos! Safely gluten free! Can't get enough of the refried beans and was intrigued and pleased with the cilantro lime rice!

    Joey Cop Bowl

    Had not been to Taco Mama in a few years. Went back today and it was delicious. I had the Joey Cop Bowl with chicken and it was great! Can't wait to go back. Waitress was great and very attentive.

    This place is AMAZING. The vegan options are superb. The tacos, tortas, aguas frescas and desserts are of the highest quality. The owner is a fellow Texan and the care and commitment in this place is clearly on display. Great ingredients, fantastic presentation and friendly staff. We spent a week in the area and ended up eating here 3 times

    Salsa is great!

The mole was just with a good spice but not tasteful. The salsa verde was super sour. I'm Mexican and I know when the food doesn't taste authentic. Idk what happened within the restaurant but something had changed. The service was okay. The ambiance was quiet and nice. Hopefully whenever we come back it's worth it.

They had x3 different types of salsa at varying spice levels which were fun to try. The menu itself was plentiful, ranging from your standard tacos to fajitas, carne asada, seafood dishes, and more. The sizzling fajitas came out promptly and were delicious, complimented by rice beans, avocado, lettuce, and tortillas along with onions, green peppers, and tomatoes on the plate itself. For around $15, this place can't be beat. I also tried their horchata which was also tasty. Pro tip: cash is preferred at this venue, and there is a small Hispanic grocery store inside as well. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone in Hot Springs looking for a Mexican food fix!

    Taco Tuesday meant we're in Hot Springs so we decided to try a new place for tacos. Capos Tacos was…read moreour stop and we questioned if it was opened at 3pm but they were. The place is across the street from the horse racing tack and was surprisingly much larger than expected. The menu is huge and service was friendly and great. The prices were reasonable. Sorry. I wish I took a picture of the menu. Probably online somewhere. Parking lot is huge and we could only assume that the place is jumping during racing season. My wife chose 1 shrimp taco and another with steak. She really enjoyed them both. I had 2 southern tacos (fried chicken pieces). We both took the crispy shells too. I liked mine but I'm still not sure about the crispy shells taste.maybe they needed to change the deep frying grease? I'm not sure. I was happy to see 4 different choices of hot sauce to choose from ( 3 of the 4 are home made and good). The moral of the story is that we both agreed to come back some time and try other things on the menu. It's worth the stop if in the area. I'd be interested in your review.

I heard these were the best tacos in town so I immediately thought of getting tongue, and goat tacos with a flame broiled Serrano. Nope, not the La comida casera that I was expecting.
