Chipotle Burrito
Shane C.

Sat immediately upon lunch opening. Friendly service who promptly started me with chips and salsa with a flavorful kick. The Chipotle Burrito had the perfect amount of protein, vegetables and sauce. Clean and doing well in comfort and music.

Ambiance was super cute! They made me a cocktail which I drank super fast (didn't get a picture) but it was a guava margarita with Tajin rim (non alcoholic). The food came out quickly. The empanadas were pretty greasy and I think overpriced. Everything else was yummy!

Texas Fajitas
Zay M.

I arrived here around 12:15pm for a lunch date. I've seen this restaurant on instagram and was interested in their robot that brings your food. We were promptly greeted and sat. The decor was AMAZING! I truly loved it. The waiter didn't take too long to come and take our drink order. We got a queso dip ($5.75) and I got a Mamacita flight ($16.99). The traditional sangria drink was our least favorite. The mango margarita was our favorite. Our entrees included the Texas fajitas and Chicken quesadilla. I got the fajitas and it came was a mini cheese quesadillas that was HOT and delicious. The fajitas came with rice and beans that was more warm than hot. I also got 3 tortillas that seemed store bought vs homemade. The steak was steak and shrimp were cooked perfectly and delicious. The veggies that came with the plate were hot but the meat lacked consistency in temperature. I was saddened when the robot went to wrong table. It was not a huge deal as a staff directed it to our table. Unfortunately, our waiter not very attentive at all. It took him a long time to return to take our order after asking for another minute. Additionally, he took my rice and beans plate WITHOUT asking if I was done. That was very insensitive and rude, in my opinion. I stopped him from taking my hot plate as it still had food. To make matters worse, he didn't even ask I I wanted a box either, smh. When we were done eating, we wait 15-20 minutes for him to bring us the bill and it wasn't busy. There were sufficient staff present as well. This could've easily been a 5 star review if we received better service.

San Cabo Burrito
Jaime S.

A good friend invited me to Mamacita for lunch on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I arrived a few minutes early and was seated right away. Several years ago, this location was Famous Toastery. They have made it their own and the ambiance is great. Plenty of greenery and color. The young lady at the host stand didn't seem particularly glad to be hosting, but I looked past that. Everyone else was pretty friendly and the service was great. JR took great care of us. We both ordered mango margaritas and the San Cabo burrito. I wanted something with steak at first, and everything looked so good, but I was told it was one of the best. I love that they have pictures and descriptions next to most of the menu items. There so much to choose from. The drinks are good. I felt they were a little pricey, but that seems to be the going rate ($14 & up) these days at the fancier Mexican restaurants. The drinks and the food were both good. The Pico was so fresh and flavorful that I ordered a side to finish off my meal. The burrito has so much queso, there's no need to order extra. I'd recommend Mamacita and go back. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Thin guacamole may be Florida avocadoes in lieu of the Mexican or Haas avocado. Watery consistency may have too much lime juice.

Camarones a la Diabla, or "Diablo Shrimp," is a Mexican dish of shrimp in a spicy sauce.  The dish is also known as Deviled Shrimp Camarones a LA Diabla, contained 8 medium shrimp cooked in a soupy sauce was a medium spicy sauce using ancho peppers, guajillo peppers and chile de arbol peppers for a rich spicy flavor from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and cholula hot sauce for better Mexican food. They do not serve salsa verde. Produce. should include whole tomatoes without seeds and extra water, onion, garli, and serrano pepper for some extra heat. Extras. Apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil or olive oil, salt, and pepper. Shrimp. I would enjoy more by having the large shrimp or prawns in lieu of the medium shrimp. Guacamole was thin and watery. Maybe too much lime juice use. Tortilla chips were thick and cold but not crispy and esrm for some reason? Salsa roja, or roja sauce, is supposed to be a spicy, red Mexican condiment not this salsa was thin and watery without much spicy taste but more like tomato soup than a salsa picante They forgot my Queso Blanco but charged me for it. My two tortillas were very dry and fell into flakes because of the lack of moisture. Mamacita needs higher quality ingredients and recipes to succeed in this area to be more successful.

Mamacita food, service, and overall experience were enjoyed. For food, we enjoyed the chorizo queso dip. I ordered the Parraillada (shareable if needed) came with steak, chicken, and shrimp. My entree had a side of rice and refried beans on the side. The menu indicated a stone bowl but it came on a plate. This entree was perfect for me as I was seeking a large serving, so I could have food to take home. The food was really good and the meats were cooked well. My steak wasn't exactly medium well as requested but still decent. The cocktail flight was a good choice and shareable.

Chile Relleno de Queso Spinach and Chicken Enchiladas
Amit M.

Parking: plenty of parking because it was in a shopping center Food: food was flavor but the chicken enchiladas were a bit dry and the poblano relleno wasnt as spicy as expected. Service: to go order but they seemed confused with how to put the order in the system and took awhile for them to figure it out and actually place the order. Ambience : It was to go order but was decorated with pictures good photo prop in the front

**Service** The staff was amazingly friendly. They were very attentive and just fun loving. There was always a joke or moment of good conversation, almost like you felt like family instead of just a customer. **Ambiance** What a beautiful location! I mean you feel as if you are in a garden. The decor is amazing. You almost feel like you are in a fairytale setting. The seating was very comfortable and the location was very clean - greatly appreciated! There is plenty of parking. However, this is located with other eateries so I can see that at some times, the parking might become and issue (like around lunch time). **Food** Here is where I have my meh moment. The food was good for what it was. There was some elements of it that were like, who did this - lol. For example, the entree I had came with a side salad, it had oranges and apples in it. Not really something you expect to have in your Mexican salad. It wasn't listed that it would come with that, so I couldn't truly enjoy it because of my allergies to citrus (glad I take medication before going out to eat - or it would have been a problem). The street corn was realllllly good. My friend truly enjoyed with this the queso and chips. Now, the elephant in the room. We saw this restaurant on IG stating they had $1.29 tacos on Tuesday. When we got there and asked about it - they told us that wasn't the case. We asked where was the location that had it, they said they didn't know. VERY ODD. **Final Thoughts** Pricing isn't bad, but I don't think I will be back honestly. I don't really like to have food that isn't to close to the "norm" for me. As someone else stated, if you do go and have allergies - let them know asap. There is too many things that are "surprises" with the dishes that could be an issue for some.

The food here was delicious! We got queso for the table and it was a great consistency. Chips were also very crispy. The enchiladas were perfect as well and bringing together 3 different sauces worked very well. The Spanish rice was also done to perfection. The drinks were good too. My personal favorite was their mamacita drink. Light and refreshing. The others were strong and well done as well. Service was quick and organized. Our waiter was very friendly and a good guy. Prices were on par with what was expected. If you only got food it would be about $10-20 a person. With drinks maybe double. Atmosphere was also great and there was plenty of seating for people. Plenty of parking as well. Regardless would definitely come back to try the other dishes and overall a good spot!

I had such a wonderful lunch experience at Mamacita. I had been wanting to come here for awhile but it's a bit far from my home. I finally made my way and it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant is so pretty and vibrant. It's so inviting once you step in and the colors and the decor just brought me joy. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. I sat at the bar and Maria was wonderful. She helped me pick my drink and my food and everything I got fit exactly what I was looking for. The drink was delicious and refreshing and beautiful with the addition of edible glitter and I love that the tacos can be given in a lettuce cups. I had the grilled fish tacos which were flavorful and delicious and perfect for a small lunchtime meal. Their chips and salsa were also very flavorful and the chips were perfectly warm. This was a great dining experience and I'll certainly be back for dinner!

They offer a room to a dine in.

This place is closed now. No table or sign. I'm not a huge fan of the food but liked the margarita flight.

There's something ridiculously satisfying about finding a spot that feels hidden in plain sight,…read moreand The Walk Up absolutely nails that energy. Tucked above downtown Cary, this cocktail club delivers specialty drinks that are both creative and dangerously easy to keep ordering. The vibe is relaxed without trying too hard, making it equally perfect for catching up with friends. The real standout for me though? The massive outdoor patio. Spacious, laid-back, and ideal for lingering over cocktails way longer than originally planned. Cary keeps getting cooler, and this place is a big reason why.

But they would not allow me in there. They said it's 21+ which really they meant it was Old people only. They refused to serve me and said it was the law because I "wasn't 21. " I will be following a civil case I am 24 years old. I showed them a valid government ID and I'm sure that the court will accept my ID and be able to verify my age by other means. Never go here they don't allow young people unless you're a retarded golfer you're a retired golfer. This is your spot. By the way, the drinks are below average and they have fake plants hanging off the walls no food horrible place. In fact, I'm so confident that it's horrible that you can contact me with any questions at 904-679-2513

This place did NOT disappoint!!! It was an impromptu lunch but so glad we ended up here. We went…read moreto the Fenton location in Cary and have on our list to try the Raleigh location as well. For starters, our waiter(if I'm not mistaken was also the bartender) was very attentive and gave excellent recommendations since it was our first visit. I ordered the rose water lemonade and my son ordered the strawberry lychee. Both were delicious so much so I asked could the two be combined without the carbonation that the lychee drink had. It was a hit!!!! For appetizers we ordered the Duck Egg rolls and asked the waiter to surprise us with the second appetizer. He chose the Pork Bao. The egg rolls were our favorite out of the two but both were great. For our entrees, my son ordered the General Tso Chicken. I couldn't decide between two dishes so I asked the waiter once again to surprise me. I ended up the whole fish(black bass) entree which was a phenomenal choice. The flavors were like a party in your mouth. It was seasoned to perfection and the sauce: OMG!!!!! Both entrees came with a bowl of fluffy rice. For dessert we got the mooncakes. They were ok. The ambience was nice and welcoming. I don't drink but was informed that it was a place people go to take part in their amazing drink selections. That it is also a great place to read a book which they have plenty to choose from if you forgot your own and a good meet up or date spot. If you are looking for new place to try this place will be a great choice!!!! Let me know what you think!!!

Stopped by RBF recently for an afternoon drink and really enjoyed my experience!…read more First, we ended up finding street parking right next to RBF, but I think there may also be a dedicated parking lot outside the back patio? Not entirely sure since we still have no idea how to access it, but maybe look for that lot if street parking is challenging :) Anyway, RBF is located in the basement of a building, so we had to take an elevator down from the entrance we took. Inside, it's got chill vibes - it definitely feels like a wine bar :) We ended up sitting inside on a high top, but there were various couches and a good amount of outdoor seating available as well. It took a while for our server to come check in with us, but she was super friendly and helpful with the wine selections once she came over. I got a random glass of red wine (they do not serve beer, in case you were wondering!) while my wife tried out a couple of tasters and then picked out a white wine for herself. The wine was pretty tasty and it was definitely a generous portion. After sitting there for a while, we also decided to grab some bread with pesto on the side. It took a sec for it to come out, but it wasn't bad! Nothing extraordinary but I wasn't expecting anything super gourmet, so it was totally fine. Overall, we had a great experience here and I would definitely stop by again on a date night.

I've gone a couple of times. Now, I do find it's Decor intriguing and they do have interesting…read morespecials and yummy items to choose from to eat. We got a couple of student sandwiches and the frizen drink for the winter in July theme they had going on who were all great. However, each time I felt like it's very cliquish in there and the glasses of champagne can be quite expensive. We're looking at about 20 plus per glass, so get ready to shell that out. They do have champagne flights that run around 50 bucks. They have inside seating outside seating in a bar seating. There was Music Entertainment the last time I went. Again, it just seems kind of clicky and not that I need anyone to be my friend but it just didn't feel very welcoming as in a place that you would want to spend a lot of time and once you got there. The first time I went it was kind of the same vibe so I'm not sure that it would change if I was to go a third.
