    Yes. Yes. And yes! Went here while visiting family in the area and it was excellent authentic tasting Mexican food. Ordered a nice variety and everything was excellent. This is coming from a very pick Mexican food Californian. This place is hitting. It's packed and that's a direct reflection of the taste. Tacos!! Yes!!!

    I heard about this place from a friend and saw it on TikTok so I was very excited to try it. Hearing 24/7 authentic Mexican food was right up my alley! Unfortunately, I wasn't really impressed. I thought the food was just okay, nothing to write home about which would be fine if it wasn't so expensive. The service was okay nothing special. The ambiance of the restaurant was cute though.

    i ordered al pastor and shrimp tacos. first of all, these tacos are not worth the $4.50 they charge per taco. it looks like they boiled the steak and it was salty. the shrimp are cutting in half so I think I might've gotten two shrimp on one taco. the lady who works the drive-through with the glasses needs customer service training. my total was almost $16 and i asked could for a cup of water. she said ok & handed the paper for me to sign.. why are we signing off in a drive-through anyway? i guess once she realizes i didn't leave a tip she says they only have bottled water & its $2.75. lies.if that was truly the case, why didn't she say that when i originally asked her? i see exactly why they have terrible reviews. will not be returning. so anyone who is looking for late night tacos you are definitely better off getting one from a taco truck on the side of the road.

    The black beans are the best thing on the menu! Cooked to perfection and homemade for sure. The service was good and the drive thru was packed. I'd come here again.

    Tacos, ToGo Margs, Great customer service

    Always a good hit for that quick drive thru!!! Customer service is always friendly and helpful. The price is affordable

    Very yummy! They were also very nice and it was super fast. The music was good as well and they gave a lot of limes which is always my favorite.

    Tacos were very good. Guacamole was Fish, Al pastor and steak were outstanding. Great for a late night bite.

    Chicken nachos

    Open 24 hours? It might as well be closed for 24 hours. The only positive thing I can say is that the tortilla chips were fresh. Beyond that, the experience was a complete letdown. The cheese was a disaster. It didn't melt; it just sat at the bottom of the container like water. There was no texture or consistency, and the nachos quickly turned into a soggy mess. The grilled chicken and steak were both bland, completely lacking seasoning, and the peppers and onions tasted like they were boiled in water--not sautéed. The entire dish lacked flavor and effort. But the real shocker? Two orders of nachos cost me a staggering $43. For that price, you expect something edible. Instead, I got limp, tasteless nachos that were nowhere near worth the cost. I had high hopes for this place given its hours, but sadly, the food and the value just don't measure up.

    Beef empanada

    I tried Mama's just a few days ago. I was in the area just cruising around and decided to grab a late lunch when I found out they have a drive thru. There was no line on a Wednesday afternoon. I ordered the beef empanada, extra beans and rice to accompany the cheese enchilada plate I ordered, and extra flour tortillas came with the meal already. Unfortunately, while I was driving in that terrible pre-Christmas ATL traffic, my whole meal went topsy turvy, so I didn't get a picture of the enchilada plate, just so you know lol. The cashier was friendly. My food came out in a decent amount of time that was to be expected. Everything was packed pretty securely, but it was still no match for that rush hour traffic and having to slam my brakes on lol. The empanada was good - flavorful, good crust/shell. I would get it again and try other ones they had. I was gonna get tacos but didn't even see them on the extensive menu at first (even though they were dead center looking back at me lol). The enchilada plate I got was okay. It wasn't horrible, but the cheese enchiladas were just alright. I think I prefer Don Pedro's enchilada plate so far. The cheese was just a little rubbery if anything. The rice and beans on the plate were pretty good. However, when I tried the extra beans I ordered on the side, they tasted like the canned kind from the store based off the seasoning. I wouldn't get extra of them again. The flour tortillas that came on the side were excellent. They tasted homemade and were fluffy and tasted fresh. I really appreciated that, because a lot of places that give tortillas on the side are usually dried out, sometimes even stale. These were very good. I would like to try their tacos sometime and other menu items, just no extra beans for me and I wouldn't get the cheese enchilada plate again probably. They gave green salsa, but I forgot to put it on my meal as it was overlooked, so I can't speak on it. It's a bit out of my way, but if I'm in the area I would come back.

    I am really Thankful for Mamas being open during the Pandemic. They had made adjustments to their hours because these are real people that work hard and they deserve breaks too! These people are consistently nice to me. For my birthday, they gave me a big slice of cake! Which was the only thing I received on my birthday. It really made my day that I cried w. The guy in drive thru. And I return the same gesture when, I went inside and saw him working at the register. He told me his sister had passed away, and he walked from behind the counter, we hugged and cried together. I love Mamas because of the people that work here! We all have a story, we all feel things. When you come here, remember my review and be nice and understanding of them :) Happy Thanksgiving Mamas Staff!

    I went through the drive-through after long day of work, and had excellent service by Freddy. my food was fresh and look and taste so delicious. This is a great place whether you are by yourself or want to meet other people, the food and services always great! This is a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

    EMPTY-NADAs I am so dissatisfied. I came to get my favorite empanadas and they came half full and flat. Very disappointed and haven't been back since.

We tried the La Piñata and the Smokey Old Fashioned, which arrived in a dramatic smoke dome--such a fun presentation. For our first bites, we ordered the Tostadas: handmade corn tostadas served with both red and green avocado sauces. They were fresh, vibrant, and a perfect start to the meal. Our main courses were equally impressive. The Short Rib with Mole Amarillo came with pickled habanero onions, rice, and plantains--rich, tender, and beautifully balanced. We also enjoyed the Arrachera, an outside skirt steak served with sautéed onions, chimichurri, rustic potatoes, and a bouquet salad. Every dish was plated beautifully and tasted exceptional. Our server, Dalia, made the experience even better. She was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive--always appearing at just the right moment, whether to refill our water or guide us through the menu. Overall, it was another amazing visit. We go there often and have never been disappointed.

This is my second time here and both times have been so good. We came as a party of 3 and left so happy and full. I love Mexican food holy moly We got the queso and octopus shrimp ceviche as starters. The queso was 3 cheeses: American, cotija, and Oaxacan. They heated it up under a salamander so it was nice and crispy on top, while being gooey all throughout. Also came with a couple of nice salsas. The ceviche was not my favorite because I don't prefer raw(ish) octopus, but the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. For our mains the 3 of us shared the red snapper, tuetano with lamb, and the mixteco poblano pepper. Red snapper had a nice charred smoky flavor from being grilled. Was more meaty than flaky in texture. It was our second time getting the mixteco poblano pepper and it hits. Highly recommend eating with some of the salsa as well if you get queso. The duck carnitas in it wasn't particularly duck-y today, but still very good. Best dish is definitely the tuetano. The bone marrow is so incredibly flavorful with the blue corn tortillas. Add some of the pickled onions and it's hard to go wrong with that flavor combo of salt, fat, and acid. if you're going to order one thing, I'd order this and share with a friend and tbh it's enough to be filling. For dessert we got the volcan de chocolate (basically lava cake). The lava cake and coconut ice cream combo is fantastic. You get bits of coconut flakes as you eat! Fair warning it isn't the brownie texture you may be used to, it's a bit more cakey. Amazing service the whole night! Almost got our cars booted because we forgot to validate until 1.5 hours in but luckily we were fine. The staff let us know they have been booting cars though so be wary!

The atmosphere is lively, colorful, and full of personality. It feels like the kind of neighborhood spot people keep coming back to, and judging by how busy it usually is, that's exactly what happens. The food is consistently good, portions are generous, and a cold Modelo goes perfectly with the meal. It can definitely get crowded, so I'd go expecting a wait during peak times. But to me, that's part of the charm. Places don't stay this busy for this long unless they're doing something right. Great food, fun atmosphere, and easily one of the better Mexican spots in this or any part of Atlanta.

My only complaint is that when you order takeout in person, they add a 15% takeout fee. I think that's excessive because we're not dining in, being seated, or interacting with a server--we're simply placing an order, picking it up, and taking it home. I don't really see what additional cost justifies that fee. The food is great, but the takeout fee makes ordering from here less appealing. Ambience is good.
