Another fantastic restaurant right by our hotel! We got super lucky having this spot directly across the street. We ordered takeout and were so impressed. First of all, whatever is in that green dipping sauce is amazing! The color looks a bit intimidating at first, but it is absolute perfection with the chips. The quesadillas were delicious, and the beef fajitas were served in huge portions with plenty of leftovers. You could tell the tortillas were freshly homemade. A wonderful find! read more

Was looking for a place for a late lunch on a Saturday in Fredericksburg and found this place available, no line, and with ample parking in the back. We came in & were seated immediately with speedy chips & dips brought to the table. The salsa was VERY good & I'm not sure what the green dip was but it was creamy and garlicky and delicious. Chips were also especially good. We placed our order quickly but it took a very long time for us to actually get our food. Shrimp tacos were not "blackened" (just normal shrimp, despite the marketing) and ok. Beans and rice were good! The enchiladas with queso on top were very good. Overall, a decent stop (specifically for the chips & dip) but in slow times food seems to come out pretty slow. We definitely filled up on more chips than we meant to because we came hungry read more

Came here today for my birthday lunch and I have to give a huge shout out to Mike. One of the girls in our group is gluten-free celiac so eating out with her is very difficult. Mike was overflowing with knowledge about the dedicated grills for gluten-free her options to eat here were fantastic and she felt safe so shout out to Mike. He's the best if anybody has gluten anything and is worried to eat out come to Mamacita's and ask for Mike. Not to mention the green sauce is absolutely out of this world read more

Came for lunch, and it was a little busy. Our waiter was quick to greet us and take our drink order. I got a large house margarita that was on the happy hour menu. It was well balanced and not overly sweet like a lot of places make them. I ordered the Guisado Monterrey with steak. The steak was tender, and the ranchero sauce was delicious. I finished up with an order of sopapillas. I recommend getting these. They were fantastic. read more

Host was very unfriendly. They had multiple salsas on the table but none had any heat. The relleno was outstanding and the enchiladas were really good. The server did a great job. He bragged a great deal about his kid which is always good with us. I would say work on front counter personnel and salsa and things will be fine. read more

We enjoyed it. Over the past 10 years, we've always eaten at the Kerrville location. Since we're staying in Fredericksburg, we decided to try the local location. While this location is much smaller, the service and food was just as good. We started with Top Shelf Margaritas. They were decent though I'm not sure there was much Grand Marnier in it. She ordered a combination plate with a beef enchilada, a crispy beef taco, a beef tamale, beans and rice. I ordered the beef enchilada meal with beans and rice. We had the chili sauce on our meals. Of course, the green salsa for the chips was amazing. I'd say this was the only subtle food difference I noticed between this Fredericksburg location and the Kerrville location. Kerrville seemed to be a bit smoother. And while I prefer that, they are both real good. We'll be back next February! read more

Was recommended this place by a local and it didn't disappoint. Food was delicious with lots of choices for everyone. Would definitely come back next time we are in town. read more

We walk in and no one notices us or can be bothered to look up from their phones. Then there's the over powering smell of chemical cleaning agents. Seating upholstery is torn and old. We left after being seated, did not even want to risk eating here. Unfortunate for an establishment that used to be so highly regarded about 10 years ago. read more

I had been here before on a previous trip to Fredericksburg, so I knew it would be a good place to seat a party of 6. My birthday dinner. The place was a zoo. The server was overwhelmed & actually forgot to bring our drinks. We had been at wineries all day, so that wasn't a tragedy. If I had not been in such a good mood from a phenomenal birthday weekend, this may have pissed me off. As I mentioned, service was pretty bad on this particular day. He was super apologetic & ended up giving my friends their bills and telling me " you don't get one bc I ruined your birthday". Very sweet, but not necessary. He did NOT ruin my birthday. It was still a good meal & great birthday even though we didn't get everything we ordered. My cheese enchiladas were delicious & the guacamole was a nice surprise - very tasty. read more

A casual restaurant with a lot of seating. We were able to get a table right away. Waiter was very personable. Chips and salsa were put on the table right away. Two salsas, one red and one green. I really liked the creamy green. Different than I have ever had elsewhere.Guacamole was just like we like it, no tomatoes with a nice creamy texture. We ordered a plate of combination nachos. Nice full plate. Beef nachos had yellow shredded cheese and chicken nachos had white shredded cheese. read more

Very nice ambience! When you walk in, there is a large waterfall. Gives off a really good vibe! Very nice decor. We were immediately served chips and salsa, along with a green salsa. Everything was very good. Not really hot enough for me. The next time I will ask for a hotter salsa. But it was very tasty.. I had the jalapeño chicken enchiladas. Again, it wasn't very spicy. But the food was very good. The charro beans and rice were outstanding. Found a new Mexican restaurant to visit when we are in the area! read more

It was a Saturday night around 6:15pm. It was not as busy as expected. We were seated without a wait ( party of 4). The service was good. The large margarita is a fish bowl! Lots of liquor in our drinks. The local tap water is not good. They were nice and brought us bottled water. This was our first time to this restaurant and the food was your average Mexican food. The salsa was pretty good and the chips were fresh. We only did quesadillas and they were hot & fresh. An easy place to get into and decent food. read more

We had great service here--our waitress was super fast and accommodating. We were there a little late so the restaurant was a little quiet. Great prices and huge portions. The food was okay three of us were able to split the fajitas and the handmade tortillas were the best part! read more

The had the best green sauce with chips. Delicious enchiladas too! There were three of us and we all got something different and just loved it! read more

This is such a good Mexican restaurant in Fredericksburg! It is located very close to, but not on the downtown strip. My friends and I were all blown away by the food, and we each ordered different dishes. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and the host was very kind as well. I dubbed the green salsa radioactive because it was such an unnatural colour. However, the chips and salsa tasted great. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and they were so good. The chicken was flavourful, and the sauce was creamy. I love how they gave so much guac too. There is parking in front of the restaurant, and prices are reasonable for Fredericksburg. I was so glad we chose to ate here instead of one of the tiny and overpriced (without restrooms too!) Mexican restaurants in downtown. The stained glass windows were so pretty. read more

Great tasting food, lots of it and a low key environment that is family friendly and comfortable.

Great Mexican food and great service. Love eating here when coming to Fredricksburg. There is parking in the back when the front is full. The salsa is ok but the green sauce is excellent. The chips have a great texture and are light and crispy. The tortillas are homemade and come with every meal. You don't have to ask for them, they are hot and fresh. The softest tortillas you have ever had. The service is just as good. I got the chile relleno with queso, charro beans and rice. The chili was stuffed with ground beef. When made right this is an excellent dish, and this was made right. My wife got her go to, she does not venture out, beef fajitas for one. The fajitas were tender and flavorful, no cheap meat here. What sets this place apart, I am sure, is when you enter the establishment you will be greeted by the owner who oversees everything and he takes pride in his restaurant. This truly is a great experience, the food is plentiful and great all the way around. Their prices are good for the amount of food you get. The service bar is set high. The Mexican food restaurant bar is set high! read more

Service-Hostess is not so hospitable. She shows no emotion whatsoever. Watched her the entire time while we were in the restaurant and it was like a soulless entity. Not sure if she hated her job or what, but not how I'd want to be greeted. Waiter was nice, w a sprinkle of humor. The atmosphere was relaxing, the seating was a bit uncomfortable. We received our food and it was a fairly large portion and pretty good. I could only eat 2 quesadillas after loading up on chips and queso. I would return again. read more

Traveling thru and happened to see this place. Parking lot was full but there is additional parking in the back. Servers seemed preoccupied and it took a while to get seated. The menu has a big variety of selections including coffees and cheesecakes :) The fresh tortillas are the main attraction but I felt the food was a little bland for my taste. The temperature of the food is REALLY HOT!! Although the atmosphere was nice there seems to be a sewer problem that kind of interferes with your meal. read more

Service was great, and the food was delicious. We got full on the delicious green sauce before the meal and ended up taking most of our food back to the BNB with us and having it later. I don't know what that sauce is, but it was so delicious! Fresh chips and tortillas that just keep coming! read more

My family ate there to celebrate my brother in laws 79 th birthday. The service and food were both great! Our waiter, Michael was so nice and accommodating!

Went here to eat the waitress got my order wrong then picked up a plate from my groups party and tried to switch the food never offered to fix the food and ignored me multiple times and when I didn't eat the food, she just stared at me. My whole group wasn't shocked on what happened would not recommend this place was coming through as tourist. I think there's so many more better options to eat it. read more

Parking lot in front of restaurant is small and tight but it's free. We entered and asked for a table in the corner. They bought us red and green sauce with chips. We ordered Queso Flameado which is served table side flaming cheese with seasoned chorizo sausage with flour tortillas. We split the Poquito De Todo, which is a choice of beef or cheese enchilada ( we got cheese). Along with a tamale topped with Chile con carne with melted cheese. It also has a crisp beef taco with lettuce, tomato and cheese. This plate includes beans, rice and guacamole with flour tortillas.! I had a margarita and husband had a beer. All was delicious and TOO much food. read more

Mamacita's had the best chili relleno I've ever eaten! I'm from California so I know good Mexican food. This place is amazing. The service was excellent. I'd come back to Fredericksburg just to eat at Mamacita's again. read more

Recently visited Fredericksburg with family and we were looking for family friendly Mexican food. The service was attentive but the food was pretty awful. I haven't eaten a lot of tex-mex but almost everything was mediocre. The chips were odd and they served it with the most appalling green dip that was the color of a retro jello salad. I've never see anything like it and none of our party enjoyed it. My husband's margarita was weak and uninspiring. The only thing I could recommend would be the fajitas - the beef was steak and actually really good. The guacamole had no flavor at all and the rice and beans were tasteless. No one else was impressed by their meals. read more

Had a mama it's margarita with upgrade of Cuervo Gold tequila 10.95 tasted like Margarita mix no tequila! Waitress said finish that one and you can try Patron it's better. No thanks. Food was bland no spices. 45.00 wasted. Home made tortillas best part of the meal. Not recommended. read more

I enjoy the food but I don't enjoy the sewage smell in the parking lot. I don't know if it is coming from Panda or Mammacita's but it is disgusting. Why we are smelling such odor makes no sense. read more

Service very good. Good menu selections. Food...meh. I had carnitas. Draft beers were all domestic or Mexican. I would have liked more choices, especially in a German town. I would eat there again, but I wouldn't make it a point to do so. read more

Prompt service in a nice setting tho a bit noisy. Food was mixed - didn't like my chicken fajitas, everything (rice, charro beans, fajitas) was bland. Wife liked her enchilada better but not enough to go back. The best thing was her mango margarita. read more

Great food and great service. We are staying in New Braunfels on vacation and decided to drive over to Fredericksburg for the day. Before we left we decided to have a late lunch/early dinner and we were glad we chose Mamacita's. We only waited about 5 minutes for a table and our waitress came very quickly after being seated. They gave us warm chips and two different kinds of salsa that were super tasty. Everyone ordered something different and when we got our food it was PIPING HOT!! We were impressed with everything. We even ordered a dozen of their flour tortillas to take back with us for breakfast burritos the next day. read more

Service was good but food was low quality. Remember it being much better in the past.

The only positive quality was our waiter, Walter. Food smelled like pee and the chairs were ripped to shreds. At least the tortillas and chicken fried steak were house-made (not frozen). No drinks to-go which is absolutely ridiculous! read more

This place is really busy for lunch and we barely beat the big rush and were seated immediately. Amazing chips and even more amazing complimentary green salsa (mix in a little red salsa). Enjoyed some freshly made flour tortillas for with their fabulous queso flameado. Great presentation when served! The manager was super friendly and our server was great. Small draft beer list, but no one's perfect. read more

Waiter and everyone working there was very nice, however the food and drinks would make me not come back. The strawberry margarita I don't think had any alcohol in it, and the food was on par with Taco Bell quality. Nothing tasted bad, the quality was just lower than expected. read more

Would not go back. The waiter was waaay too chatty and familiar with our group of seven women--he behaved as though he were the main attraction. The green sauce is interesting, the salsa was too spicy for my taste, but the absolute worst thing was this: the spinach enchiladas were made with CANNED SPINACH. I truly could not believe it, as I've never had a spinach enchilada made with anything other than freshly steamed spinach. But there it was--the same dark, stringy blob that used to come out of a Del Monte can in the 1960s, stuck inside my enchiladas. Tried a few bites, just couldn't do it. Charro beans were good. read more
