This is the second time I've been to this restaurant. Both times , I've ordered the special which…read moreis usually chicken drumsticks with some sort of delicious sauce. It came with fresh tasting pinto beans, rice and the chicken has been mildly spicy in both cases, but very delicious. This visit the sauce was a type of verde sauce. My waiter was super nice and was very helpful. He explained in great detail the specials of what type of sauce they had on them. This is probably one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants I've ever visited. Don't let the small restaurant size and casual dining atmosphere dissuade you from trying this little gem. It is well worth the visit.

Then my $39.43 dollar bill was rung up on my credit card as $59.43 by the cashier.

Ended up having the waiter set her ass straight. I think she was trying to pull a fast one on me and she refused to apologize when I asked her if she would. Extremely disrespectful and unsatisfactory meal. Never going bac

The salsa was slightly chunky and sweet and savory. The steak taco salad was good. I had the Enchiladas Verde and they were very good. I like spicy food and my husband likes it mild. Everything was on the mild side but I asked for that wonderful jalapeño sauce that is usually served with tacos but I want it on everything!!! Not everyone knows about it but when I get it it's a huge plus for that restaurant! It kicked up the spice for me so we could both get the right levels. We will definitely be back!

Taco Mama - Tuscaloosa

Nothing pairs better with a Sunday afternoon than a trip to Taco Mama--especially after a Bama…read morebaseball sweep of the Gators. Florida came in looking tough, but by the end of the weekend, they were heading home with their tails tucked. That kind of win deserves a proper celebration, and Taco Mama is always a solid call. Normally, this place is slammed--line out the door, controlled chaos at the counter, and a sea of college kids fueling up. But today? A rare sight. With it being the last day of Spring Break, the students were either on the road back to T-Town or at home enjoying some real home cooking. Either way, we walked into what felt like a private showing. Taco Mama consistently delivers, and let's be honest--it probably helps that you're the architect of your own meal. The "build your own bowl" is the move every single time. We stepped up to the counter (dodging a few lingering students along the way) and went to work. I kept it in my usual lane: chicken, lime rice, black beans, pickled jalapeños, cilantro, guacamole, tomatoes--with extra tomatoes--and queso. I'm sure I forgot something, but at a certain point, when you're piling on that many toppings, you could probably throw it on a pair of shoelaces or your front yard and it'd still taste good. It comes out loaded, paired with chips and salsa--"on the house"... or at least it used to feel that way. These days, let's just say it's probably baked into the price of your burrito bowl masterpiece. Either way, no complaints--it all hits. The atmosphere is part of the charm. Indoor seating with those big garage-style doors gives it an open, laid-back feel. Not a mechanic shop, of course--the only work being done here is adding a few pounds to your physique. If you're trying to convince yourself you're making healthy choices, grab the chicken bowl, maybe hold the queso (or don't--we both know how that ends), and settle in. The old wooden floors and overall vibe give the place some character, and on a day like today, the patio is a great option. Fresh air, good food, and a little post-sweep glow--it's hard to beat. And even for us "older folks," being surrounded by college energy has a way of making you feel just a little younger... at least until you stand up after the meal. All in all, Taco Mama is dependable, customizable, and exactly what you want after a big win. It may not be fancy, but it doesn't need to be--it just works.
