mamacita's

eww, eww, eww!!. this place is terrible. i'll admit that weird green sauce that obviously has food coloring in it is pretty tasty, but the food is terrible. the person that i was with ordered beef fajitas and i swear it looked like they were boiled. they had no color and no "fire grilled" taste. when we told the waiter that we were not happy with the meal the manager came by and gave us excuses... saying that is the way they cook their meat, which is not true, because i've had fajitas there that were at least edible. what a waste of money!!

green sauce and great service.. we came here after a day at the river, because as usual i was craving tex-mex. the green sauce is awesome, really awesome. the color is a little scary, but it tastes fantastic so it doesn't really matter. the entree was just ok, the meat wasn't all that great. the tortillas were thick and fluffy and pretty decent. i was just glad they were homemade. our server did a really good job and was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed.
i probably won't go out of my way to make a trip all the way to san marcos just to come here, but i would come back if i happened to be in the area again for the green sauce and the excellent service...and to give the food another chance.

one of my faves. two words: green sauce. i could go here and make a meal out of green sauce and tortilla chips or tortillas. i haven't had anything here that i didn't like.
the tortillas are made fresh in front of you and are delish.
one of my go-to mexican places when i'm in the area.

it's a good place, great drinks and salsa and homemade tortillas. the problem is that it's in san marcos and there are 10 other places that are better.

bland. do you like gross food and bad service...i thought so. don't go here, the food is terrible. the service was worse. trust me.

service was awesome, justin, our server, was very attentive and friendly. i ordered the carnitas plate, and sadly it was very disappointing. the entre was very bland... stick to the carne guisada.

it was decent but nothing to make me return again

the service is great, the food is fantastic, and the freshly-made tortillas are heavenly! the guacamole has a fresh and wonderful twist to it- sour cream! my family and i come here quite often, and have thoroughly enjoyed every single visit! the family-oriented feeling is quite strong in this restaurant, and the opportunity to reserve a room for special occasions has come in quite handy for my large family! all i can say is, thank you mamacita's, for everything!

the food is absolutely devine if you're a fan of tex-mex. the tortillas are superb, made right in the restaurant. the salsa is perfectly tomatoey with just the right amount of spice. order your chicken chimichanga with queso on top, instead of the regular sauce. i've never tried it any other way because the waitress recommended it to me on my first time there and it was delicious, with no extra charge :)

nooooo. go to los cucos!. yuck yuck yuck.
maybe you have to be either a mamacita's person or a los cucos person, but i hate mamacitia's. the food is just .... well, my quesadillas didn't seem cooked all the way (plasticy cheese) and were room temperature. it took a long time for us to get a table, and once we were seated, i don't remember getting any chip refills at all. not to mention **the green sauce is nastyyy** i swear it's toothpaste and .. cucumbers. my friends and i have debated over what is in it. it's horrid. the red salsa isn't fabulous. mamacita's fails.

disappointing. the generally positive posts on urban spoon do not reflect our experience. we had a party of 7 so with our selections we got a pretty broad overview of the menu. the florescent green dip reminded one of an irradiated combination of sour cream and lipton onion dip mix. seasoning was inconsistent, we found ourselves with dishes that were bland and others where salt overpowered the flavors of the food. while our waiter tried to be attentive, the slowness of the kitchen meant the best he could do is offer more tea and water.
who knew one could do so much with a flour tortilla. when they finally arrived well after our entree, they were good in their own right but unfortunately we discovered they had made their way into many other dishes. in the tortilla soup they overwhelmed both the chicken and the tomato soup base (which tasted very canned like). it resulted in an over salted chicken and dumplings concoction.
the tastiest item of the evening resulted from combining items of various plates to balance their disparate level of seasonings. so the caramelized onions and peppers from the pollo verde dish when combined with the mushrooms and "blackened" red snapper and from the pasión del mar dish was a good combination.
the flour tortillas made their appearance at the close of the evening on the form of sopapillas. who knew sopapillas were made from left over tortillas fried in old oil. a fitting closure to the meal.

we eat there often. the food is great if you like texmex ... might not be your choice if you're looking for traditional "mexican" food. love their freshly made tortillas.

disappointing. this place used to be good....it has seriously gone down hill. i've completely moved on.

best enchiladas ever!! i love this place!!!

food was generic and service was very slow.
