    Cheese enchiladas
    April K.

    The food was really good. Service was fantastic. The only reason I deducted a star was because it's so incredibly loud in there. We had the cheese/onion enchiladas and they were fantastic. We also had a ground beef taco salad without the shell. It was one of my favorites.

    Mama Rosa Strawberry Margarita

    We went as a large group and had ample room. We were started off with complimentary chips, salsa & queso- which was so good! I ordered a Strawberry Pina Colada and was disappointed they did not have the colada mix! I ordered a Mama Rosa s Strawberry Margarita instead, which was so good and came in a frosted mug. I also had the Cozumel Cosmo which had pear vodka and was delicious. For dinner I ordered carne asada with rice and refried beans and it was perfect. I will say it was super loud there, so if you're looking for a nice quiet atmosphere this is not it hit our group was comfortable bc we could speak with fearing we were too loud. They have various table setups for any group, a private room and a beautiful outdoor area. Definitely someplace I would return to!

    The ambiance is the best part of a visit to Mama Roja's. It sits on Lake Hefner and has spectacular views. The inside is very pretty and classy upscale. Beautifully tall columns, striking stone tile flooring, and lots of beautiful plants. The food was excellent: served hot with lots of flavor. We really enjoyed the combo fajitas. Service was great and they made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back again.

    Servicedwas great/thanks ps*

    Enjoyed/it.. anytime that I came here been there before the service has been insane I was very appreciative through the weight and of us standing at the event can't explain how the atmosphere was sooo delightful at the beginning and the end of service right.,.,.

    I have to say the best thing was the chips, the salsa, and the queso. After that said to say it went downhill, we had ordered some onions and peppers that never came until the very end it took forever for tortillas to come out to the table and by the time that I had to remind them about the onions and the peppers, the tortillas in the queso were coldthe lack of attention or checking in if we needed anything was not there oh the other good thing was the rice. The rice was good beef on the street tacos were dry and I think people go here for the ambience and not the food.

    Went for the first time and it was so filling. We got on the waitlist on our way to the restaurant and by the time we were there we only had to wait 5 minutes on a Saturday night to be seated. We got a seat by the lake and it was great. Server was so attentive and kind. The food was amazing and we were stuffed by the time we left. We wanted to try a dessert but we couldn't eat anymore! We will have to come back!

    server being friendly

    My dining experience today was amazing. First things first, our server was exceptional. He really knew how to turn our day around. My dog died today and somehow, he was able to make us laugh. This is no average server. I wish i caught his name but what I did catch was a picture of him so I'll attach it on here. Ask for him!!! I got a mango avocado salad with shrimp, so yummy! the tortillas are nice and warm too. Me and my wife will definitely be returning!!! Thank you

    We went here on New Year's Eve with our family around 7:30pm and got seated right away! Even though we made a reservation through Yelp on the waitlist our table was ready early! Queso is delicious! I had the steak quesadilla and it did not disappoint!

Ambiance: Very loud live music and chaotic in general. More chaotic than a standard Mexican restaurant. One visit, tacos were being cooked outside on a Santa Maria style grill. Food: Birria Tacos are the best thing on the menu. Cheesy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Topped with cilantro and wonderful consommé. The white sauce is a great addition as well as the green sauce. The Pin Wheels are not the best for the salsa. The salsa is mediocre and also spicy. The Surf and Turf Quesadillas are cheesy and packed with meat. The same meal as a burrito is good, but not preferred over the quesadillas. The Ceviche is out of this world. A heaping portion of perfectly citrus and not too fishy. The only meal that was not good was the Marlin Quesadilla. It was too fishy and tasted like fishy BBQ.

We didn't get photos of all of our food, but everything we tried was really enjoyable. The service was attentive, and our waitress was very patient with us as first-timers, I had a few questions about how some of the menu items were prepared, and she was happy to help. Nice use of space isn't as it's not the largest restaurant- there's a bar area, then a layout of tables and booths that would work great for large groups. Will return again the next time we're in OKC area to grab a patio seat.

There were plenty of tables and places to sit. The hostess got us to a table and we sat and ordered our food and talked and caught up. There was this guy I can only assume he must've been a manager, he kept hovering over our table, making sure our drinks were filled even after we had got through eating and just kept hovering like he was waiting for us to leave. I looked around the restaurant and there were plenty of tables that were empty. So I don't understand why he was hovering over us and trying to rush us out of the restaurant. It was probably the worst experience I've ever had at this restaurant. I don't know if he was just racist or if he was just being an asshole, but either way if someone comes in to pay for a meal and is sitting down and talking in the restaurant isn't busy. I don't see why there's a reason for you to turn around and try and force people out. To say the whole experience turned me off and I will probably not go back to this restaurant for a while.

It was very busy when we walked in but there was no wait. We were thankfully seated immediately and started off with chips and salsa. The chips were nice and crispy, but the salsa was mediocre. The tomatoes tasted canned. While I can totally get the efficiency behind using canned tomatoes for a busy restaurant, the taste is not preferred. The kids chicken quesadilla plate was a good amount of food! I just wish the quesadilla was already sliced as it was for our 3 year old. The chicken was also bland. Again, the portions were great. My son ordered the Burrito La Herencia with ground beef and this was seasoned well. Again, great portions of beans, rice & main dish. No complaints with this one! My spouse ordered the La Herencia fajita special and felt as if it was lacking. The steak pieces were minuscule and the shrimp was bland and undercooked. The pork chop was thinly sliced which was nice but VERY salty. We were wishing for more peppers and onions as well. Overall this dish was salty, but tolerable! It came with a side plate of rice, beans, pico de gallo, guac, sour cream & lettuce. Served with flour tortillas. We ordered the queso & guac while we were looking at the menu and waiting. I personally did not enjoy the queso. It was thick and had an artificial mouth feel. The guac was decent! Bland overall but I love the taste of avocado. I wish it had more lime and seasoning though since it was supposed to be Guacamole and not avocado dip. I ordered the Steak Mexicano with extra jalapeños and this was very good. Still on the salty side but I enjoy things on a SLIGHTLY saltier range. My spouse thought the steak was TOO salty. The peppers, onions, and tomatoes were nicely sautéed and seasoned. The rice here is also DELICIOUS. I hate a bland Mexican rice. The beans were good too but nothing to write home about. I do wish I was offered a side of corn tortillas. Overall this experience was okay! Not the worst but definitely not the best. The restaurant was beautifully decorated but there was a noticeable lack of music. We were sat listening to the chatter of all the different customers and kitchen noises. We did have the option of booth or table AND they have boosters seats/ high chairs upon request.
