Throughout the years, I've always loved coming to this restaurant with friends and family. And this recent visit while in town did not disappoint! Upon arrival, a friendly host found us comfortable booth seating behind the bar. The waitress not only answered our food allergy related questions pertaining to certain dish prep but the manager came over to our table to assure us that she would be double checking our order to make sure there was no allergen cross contamination. Such a kind, thoughtful gesture! Mom and I ordered the sampler to split - a huge tray filed with delish gluten free chips, a delish bowl salsa verde, a delish bowl of homemade guacamole, and a delish bowl of homemade cheese sauce. For my lunch, I got two of my favorite tacos on their menu still, the California Club ones, large tacos filled with roasted chicken, a tasty like crema, and avocado. Not as hungry as I, Mom got an Oy Vey Taco, another longstanding goodie, a brisket based taco, which she enjoyed. Our later than planned Wednesday lunch was perfect. read more

Took my Mamacita to Taco Mamacita after a quick run to the mall. I won't turn down a good taco but it was pretty mid. I like the idea of trendy sounding dishes and fun taco names, but I wasn't wowed. Our server took a while to get to us despite being a relatively empty dining room at the time. We both ordered an El Camino margarita, which was an orange-ish one. I asked for it blended but it came out on the rocks, so I just kept it. I ordered two tacos, the Oy Vey and the Taco Royale. The Oy Vey was nothing special and I didn't taste the barbacoa at all. The Taco Royale was much better and had a good blend of flavor between the chicken, chorizo, and pico. The side of corn was not what I ordered but I couldn't flag down the server so I gave in and kept it. It was average corn with a little bit of queso fresco on top. I noticed that the bowl really wasn't too filled for the $14 price point, some fast casual chains can do better bowls. I've had better and worse but the tacos at Taco Mamacita really didn't feel like the gourmet tacos they are billed to be. read more

Taco Mamacita - Taco Royale & Oy Vey - Mexican Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Went for a late dinner on a weeknight & were seated immediately. This restaurant has recently been remodeled, so it has some more retro vibes than before, with the bar now in the middle. It took a while for a server to see us, but then it was fast to get our drinks as well as food once orders were placed. Tacos were alright, Cali club was messy & drippy. Homeboy was good but I don't think I'd get the spicy version again - not overly spice just overly sauced. The appetizer trio was good, but seemed expensive at $14. Overall the place is nice, but a little expensive for tacos. read more

This was our favorite restaurant we tried while visiting Chattanooga. The service was exceptional and the unique taco options were delicious. We were told this is a reopening and the inside was comfortable and modern. We recommend the double stack and Korean bbq tacos. You can make any combination of tacos with sides. We chose the sweet potato fries to share. Our sweet waitress also hand wrote a list of places to visit while in Chatt read more

Decent tacos, fast service. I was really excited to try this place, as it always seems to be busy and I had heard good things! My husband and I stopped in on a Friday night to see what it was all about. We ordered some drinks (I got a house margarita, he got a PBR + tequila shot), an appetizer sampler, and a few different tacos. I ordered the Oy Vey & General Homeboy + the green chile rice on the side, while my husband got the Hot Chicken and the Sloppy Jose + the Mexican corn on the side. My marg was pretty good - not super strong, so I used some of my husband's tequila shot to turn it up a notch. I liked the queso + salsa in the appetizer sampler; however, the guac was lacking - seemed like they may have forgotten to put lime in it? As for the tacos, they were all good, but nothing blew my mind. They had so many unique options that I figured we would leave there amazed with the flavors, but I thought the tacos were slightly lacking. I loved the atmosphere here and the service was super fast, so I definitely will come back, but I'll likely try a different order. read more

Great fish and shrimp po boy tacos! My husband said the Korean bbq taco was his favorite. Service was good, and it was kid-friendly.

Love love love the remodeling!!! Inside is awesome. Also really liked the new street tacos. Could use a few more new non street tacos, but still enjoy Taco Mamacitas!!! read more

Taco mamacita is always a favorite of mine! Their double decker tacos never disappoint and I love their cheese dip. Their sweet potatoe fries are consistently delicious! read more

I had lunch today with a colleague based on her recommendation. Boy was it a good recommendation. I arrived and was created by the friendliest waitress. Upon hearing it was my first time, she responded "you're in for a treat" and she was right! Based on the weather, I ordered the chicken tortilla soup with a side of plantains! Phenomenal. It came with a bowl with meat, cilantro, tomatoes, and a lime. I'm dairy-free so no cheese. Then based on recommendation from the waitress, I swapped out the soup for the vegetarian option because if it more flavorful. I haven't had the chicken stock but the vegetarian option was fire!! The plantains are the sweet kind and we're also good. Overall excellent meal and service! But note ... parking is difficult. I circled the lot a few times before finding a spot. They do save 3-4 spaces for to-go orders. So plan ahead! read more

The tacos on this menu are such a fun variety! I got the 2 tacos and a side -- I was unsure if it would be enough but I was too full to finish it! The side I got was the street corn (pretty good!) and the tacos were the taco royale and the general homeboy. The chorizo was a highlight for sure! I would come here again in a heartbeat but probably try to eat there. We just got takeout but the restaurant has a real cool vibe! read more

Food was fantastic! They have lots of space, a bar area and a fantastic Mexican ambience. Service was wonderful and I really wish I could remember the servers name to give him kudos!

Would DEFINITELY go back if I lived there! read more

We stopped here during a visit to the aquarium and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The 2 tacos + a side deal was great, we were able to get a variety of tacos to try and go the fried plantains which were excellent. Though the chips and salsa aren't complimentary, the mango salsa we got was superb, it had clearly been made fresh. I got the gringo enchiladas and they were fantastic, the brisket and sauces on top were amazing. Really great little spot!! read more

Disaster since they opened back up. To go team consistently gets orders wrong with little to no apology. They staple the bags closed so difficult to check or at least annoying. Food quality seems to have changed and much more expensive; however, this may be due to food costs in general. Just get impression they have given up caring. read more

My friend & I were in town for the weekend looking for a bite to grab since it was well past dinner time. Taco Mamacitas was AMAZING. As soon as we walked in we were met by Bob who went above & beyond, setting a great tone for the taco joint. Their portion sizes = phenomenal.. very filling yet but not in a bleh way. I got the "nacho mamas" nachos, & the dish was delicious. All the toppings were well spread out & each chip had something on it. That's a big win in my book. Their house hot sauce had a good consistency & the honey in it definitely spiced up the flavor, I wanted to take the bottle home.. We came back with a bigger group later that weekend. Everything tasted great, & were shown amazing service once again. read more

Located in the corner of the strip with several other businesses, there is a decent amount of parking. Handicapped parking is right by the entrance as well as at the end of the building. The parking lot is smooth so travel is pretty easy from the spaces to the door. Walking in there is a small podium with the host/ hostess. We were greeted immediately and taken to a booth and given menus. There is also a covered outdoor seating area. Our server came by within a few minutes and took our drink order. The drinks arrived shortly and we placed our food order. The food came out within about 10 minutes. We also ordered the salsa as an appetizer. It came out in about five minutes and seemed fresh, It's slightly chunky, with a little bit of heat. Chips were fine but nothing special. The taco choices are very interesting. I tried the Caribbean Jerk chicken and the Korean BBQ, with the green chili rice as the side. My dining partner had the Baja fish and Steakhouse tacos with Mexican street corn as the side. The tacos arrived wrapped in an aluminum foil bowl. The Caribbean Jerk was disappointing to say the least. I got a nice mango flavor, but no jerk seasoning, and certainly nothing spicy. The chicken also tasted old, with a "dusty" flavor. The Korean BBQ was fine, but nothing exciting. Both tacos fell apart before I finished eating due to the amount of liquid retained in the foil bowl from the added salsa and pickled onion. The green chili rice was a bit dry and very limited in flavor. I would not have picked out the flavor without the menu description. My dining partner was happier with the choices. The Baja fish did not have much fish, and definitely had a fishy smell, but the flavor was fine. The Steakhouse was the best of the four tried and would merit another order. The Mexican Street corn was easily the best item ordered. Flavorful and seemed freshly made. Although I commend the many different choices for tacos, the execution was less than expected. Falling apart due to excess liquid makes finishing a meal more difficult than needed. read more

Another solid dinner at taco mamacita. Korean BBQ taco is my favorite. Oy vey was just okay. My husband enjoyed his enchilada. I love we can sit and order food at the bar. Service was great as usual. read more

I'm being generous. I didn't receive exactly what I ordered, but ate it anyway. It was dry and average at best. Friends got nachos and they hated them. But at least we got a seat on a busy Saturday. I've been many times and get a different order each time because I've never really enjoyed what I ordered. Today's was maybe the worst (enchiladas). read more

They say the food makes the restaurant. Well they have that down. I say the food can be good but if the staff isn't, it's not a great restaurant. These guys have both! If you've never tried their Sangria or Nacho Mama, do yourself a favor and try them both. Their tacos and sides are equally yummy! If you have a wait, trust me it's worth it. read more

Staff at bar was excellent. Food was good. Not #1, but def a top 10. A host opened the door and greeted us immediately. Tap beers and margaritas were on point. Tacos had great flavor and design to offset "average" meat selections that were above averag. queso was great, maybe some onions would help set it off just a tad more. Overall experience was great, hence the 5 stars. Will add to list of travel dining options. read more

Mediocre. I went to UTC and graduated in 2001. This place was here back then. So, I assumed that (over the passage of time) it was still pretty good. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Other than a catchy name, I wouldn't say there is much to see here. Tacos were bland and not flavorful. Tasted like canned chicken meat. Kids ended up with stomach aches afterward. Service was also very slow and inattentive. Overall: Bypass this mamacita. There are better options all over Chattanooga. read more

I always get the same thing, I was gone try something different but I did not! I get the Nacho Mama with brisket and a extra queso, it's not much queso on it so I have to have extra! You get a nice size portion and I can never eat the whole thing, but I try! The staff are always friendly and keep your beverages refreshed. My boss says the tacos are good, and they look like they are! Quick and easy service during lunch! read more

Taco Mamacita - Nacho Mama - Mexican Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Service: LOUSY...worst I've experienced in Tennessee. Too much bro-brah-blah-blah amongst the wait staff. We were seated, order taken and then basically abandoned to fend for ourselves. We never received the water we requested. Sat and watched the waiter talk to a woman at the bar for the next 20 minutes. After we were finally able to flag down the guy we thought was our waiter to verify a question we had on the dish we were served, we continued to be ignored and forgotten. Eventually, when we were ready to leave we had to find someone to get the check for us. The food was sub-par for what we were expecting. The overall ambiance was ruined by the fact that the average age of the wait staff had to have been under 24 years old. It showed in their service. It showed in their dress. It showed in the guys constantly adjusting their dicks as they walked around in short shorts. read more

The portions were small and no flavor at all the Mexican corn was good but I had to use a lot of salt for flavor service was ok I guess and the mama sauce is not at all good it tastes like ketchup and mayo with liquid smoke flavor a definite thumbs down read more

First time and let me tell you. There were SO MANY OPTIONS I had a hard time picking! I went with the California Club taco because it sounded super unique, and the Sloppy Jose because it was a crowd favorite. Two tacos and a side for $11. Both tacos were full of flavor and don't get me started on how good the Mexican street corn was I would struggle to not order them again because they were so good but there are many many more delicious tacos to try. Till next time! read more

Taco Mamacitas is a decent spot for a meal and a margarita fix after shopping on Chattanooga's northside. We stopped in from the rain for a weekday lunch, and sat at their bar. Our exceedingly friendly and knowledgeable server immediately got us a couple of pretty good black Cadillac margaritas, which we followed up with skinny margaritas, which were strangely fizzy but did the trick. Lunch was fine. The queso blanco was good, alongside the thoughtful offering of vegetarian tacos (avocado, black bean, and vegetable). The salad and the vegetarian tortilla soup were appreciated, although a bit paltry. All in all, a fine spot for a quick, no-frills Tex-Mex lunch in the neighborhood. read more

Went here after a hike after high recommendations. There was outdoor seating but no supportive back. After we were seated it did take forever for someone to come to us, and only after we did some significant staring in that direction. There was actually ice in the water, which was a welcome surprise. We ordered a mango salsa to start. It came out quickly. The salsa itself wasn't very sweet like the mango wasn't ripe enough. There was heat in the rest of the salsa though. The hot chicken taco was good, spicy and flavorful. The taco royale was definitely missing something. The chicken was lackluster and seemed dry. Had to add the mango salsa for a little kick. The best part were the sweet potato fries. Overall, average, wouldn't jump to return. read more

Sarah was our server and she was delightful. Efficient service, which I always like. No free chips & salsa when you sit down but then it's not a typical Mexican restaurant, very American-ized. That may not be a real word, but you get what I mean, maybe Tex-Mex? Queso was very good, came out warm with plenty of chips for a party of 4. Highly recommended Memphis nachos to be shared. Food was fantastic! read more
