I've passed by 7 Mares for years, riveted by the sweet murals with sharks, mermaids, and Mexican dishes painted in the windows, and yet paralyzed by thoughts of a massive language barrier, or a filthy establishment, or something darker - with fear driving my fantasies inevitably to a cartel-style execution awaiting me inside. But I've also imagined it to be the next great Mexican restaurant in town, which I'm on a continual quest to find. I finally got the nerve to go in today, and I was worried for all the wrong reasons. Make no mistake, this IS a dicey part of town. There is a lot of, uh, colorful foot traffic. (El 7 Mares shares its building with a small corner store.) But 7 Mares is an oasis from the outside. No record scratched when I walked in. It was cheerful (with plenty of Halloween decorations adding spirit) and clean enough upon a cursory inspection. I was greeted warmly in fluent English. Even the TV was airing a program in English. (Red flag?) There were several (diverse!) tables of customers in the small front room, with a few people at the tin-roofed bar. I was very relieved to have my assumptions proved wrong. Sadly, the disappointing part of my experience was the food. I have to say that I didn't find the next great Memphis Mexican food today. I went with a safe, standard choice for me: enchiladas suizas with a side of guacamole. Chicken was the only option for these enchiladas. 7 Mares provides free chips and salsa. The salsa was average at best, and the guacamole I ordered was subpar. The salsa reminded me of Los Picosos - not bad, but not my type. I can't verbalize the flavor, but I think it's a combination of sweet and tangy. And quite mild. The guacamole was really creamy, as if it had been mixed with sour cream. Again, edible, just "unnatural" and not very good. I haven't had the processed grocery store guacamole in many years, but this didn't seem too far from what I remember of that stuff. As far as the enchiladas, they were not a good example in my experience. The menu mentioned a tomatillo sauce (that's what defines the dish, right?), but I swear there was nothing but cheese on these. And a ton of it at that. The chicken was good - tender and well seasoned with peppers cooked in. But these weren't the enchiladas suizas I've grown to love. I'll keep going to Playitas when I'm craving those. I may end up giving 7 Mares another try, but there are a ton of proven restaurants in the vicinity - Macon and Summer to the southeast - that already have my loyalty. Things would have to improve dramatically for me to come back a third time.

The guy at the front was rude and confrontational because I did not want to sit down in their establishment and wait for the meal.

I would not recommend this place to anyone because the service was such a turn off. I won't ever be back to this establishment.

My client took us here and he didn't really say what type of food they served, but it ended up…read morebeing pretty good. Later during the meal, he admits that Momma's is one of his spots, so that's saying a lot. It sort of looked like another bar/restaurant from the outside, but they have a nice outdoor patio overlooking an old decrepit building which is at least some scenery. Once inside, you'll quickly see it's highly decorated and has a claim to be one of the only trucker themed bars in the US. Inside is decked out to the ceilings with signs, neon, old mirrors, collectibles, and many other items. I swear it looks like it's been in business for 30+ years, but my client said only a couple of years. I looked over the basic menu and saw burgers, breakfast, salads, sandwiches, a famous pork chop, wings and a few other items. The client and my colleague quickly ordered devilled eggs, cheese curds, and chili cheese fries. The first two apps were really good, I didn't try the fries though. They had a burger of the day, and a food special of the day, but I settled on the wings. With those I chose the 10 pc, Buffalo with dry rub, smoked. Kind of a weird combination since most people usually order dry here apparently, but I like saucy wings. When they come out, they are huge and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish them. I think I could only eat 6-7. My colleague had a ribeye steak salad which was a protein bomb he loved, and my 2 clients ordered a big rig grilled cheese which he also loved and a fried chicken sandwich (firebird) which looked really good. Overall, I really liked this place and it's one of the best meals I've had in Memphis the handful of times I've visited.

The food is decent, the service is really hit or miss, and I've always found them to be quite slow ... so it just hits average for me.

My friend and I visited 111 Madison in Memphis for brunch this past Saturday…read more Early on, we encountered a few issues that set the tone for the experience. My friend asked if he could add chicken to the veggie bowl and was willing to pay the additional cost. Our waitress, who was very kind and professional throughout our visit, checked with management but returned to say they could not accommodate the request because their system would not allow them to ring it up that way. Shortly after placing our orders, my friend asked for lemon with his water. The waitress returned a few minutes later saying they unfortunately did not have lemons available. However, we were seated directly next to the bar and could clearly see lemons being used by the bartender for drinks. A short time later the waitress returned with a small cup containing four lemon slices. As she approached our table, the bartender stopped her and said, "Hey, not all of those. They don't get all of those." She then went back to the bar, removed two slices, and brought the remaining two to the table. It was an awkward moment that left us puzzled about why such a simple request became an issue. When our food arrived, my friend received his breakfast tacos first, but the chicken on the tacos was cold. My shrimp and grits with catfish croutons arrived about three to five minutes later. The grits were lumpy and the catfish croutons ended up being nothing but the tail end of a catfish filet. When the check came, we saw an automatic 20% service charge had been added. My friend asked if that charge went to our server or to the restaurant. She explained that the service charge is split between the server and the house. Despite the experience we had, my friend still made sure she was taken care of. Our waitress remained pleasant and professional the entire time, and it seemed clear she was doing the best she could within the limitations she was given. However, between the policy restrictions, the uncomfortable lemon interaction at the bar, and the food arriving cold, the overall experience was disappointing. While we chose not to raise the issue with management at the time, this is unfortunately not a place we plan to return to.
