The vibe was relaxed and nice decor. I had the Chipotle soupy tacos with brisket which was absolutely delicious. I've also tried the creamy soupy tacos which is also very good, but not as delicious as the Chipotle. I'll definitely be back! read more

Love this restaurant. I love the paintings on the walls and the decor. The staff is very friendly. My favorite is the soupy tacos. It's so flavorful and delicious. It really hits the spot when you want comfort food. And the we also got the fries with the soupy taco sauce. And they gave us a tiny appetizer soup. Not sure what it was but it was delicious. read more

So I arrive to try this place I been wanting to try... and on the menu it says you get one basket of chips and salsa free... but more can be had for a charge. Well I'm alone so I think I'm good.. first impression? The place is lovely and magical. Like you have stepped into a tearoom somewhere. Not a Mexican restaurant. All wood tables. Round, square. Rectangle. And all wood chairs with high backs, all with different designs cut into them and all painted in bright vivid different colors. Little teacups and saucers on each table hold the sweeteners for your tea. Or coffee. And tea sets and china dishes decorate the place. So the chips and salsa: Very THICK triangle tortilla chips. A hard CRUNCH to them.. unsalted. The salsa.. very very bland.. it just tastes like tomato sauce puréed super smooth from a can... it had no bite whatsoever... no pepper. No spice... just very tomato sauce flavor forward.. it needs some help. So I ordered a combo plate.. with one red cheese enchilada, and I have been told the green chile chicken enchiladas here are amazing so I got one of those and it also came with two tacos. I asked for crunchy ones of those ... I was going to get what on their menu sounded like a delicious chicken and potato soup but they were out... so hopefully another time. My plate came and it was beautiful, like a work of art...the tacos were of the same hard crunchy tortillas the chips were. OMG I have been LOOKING for some REAL crunchy tacos in this town and I just found them!! The shells were half full of seasoned ground beef, off to the side of the tacos was shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and a huge dollop of sour cream ... so you had to build the tacos your self .. which I did. I wish that salsa had some kick to it cus I like salsa on my tacos too but I skipped that tomato sauce. The tacos were delicious, a surprise I wasn't expecting when I walked in here. Now the chicken enchilada: it was good, lots of tender chicken inside but the sauce on top is what makes it ... the rice with This plate is not Spanish or Mexican rice. It is a chicken flavored slightly yellow rice.. it's SOO salty.. on its own it's too salty, way too salty... but a bite of that rice with the green chile chicken enchiladas, now FHAT was heaven.. the sauce helps to tone down that over saltiness a bit of that rice and it all mixes together for the perfect bite.. my friends the rumors are true, the green chile chicken enchiladas and rice is amazing here. As for the Charo beans. They were ok. I think they needed a little longer cook... beans were still a little too firm. And the red chile cheese enchilada.. my enchilada was full of and covered with stringy cheese which I appreciate.. but the red sauce??? Well let's just say', it had the spice the salsa needs!! Whew! For me it was too spicy.. I pulled my enchilada out and ate it but left most of that sauce on the plate lol! So I will be back for the TACOS for sure, and if I have a craving for Green Chile Chicken or maybe Cheese enchiladas! It's only open for lunch 11-3 most days of the week ... so check the days.. to be sure you go on a day they are open. read more

Love Mama's Restaurant! It's a cozy little local spot with super friendly staff and really good Mexican food. Everything we've tried has been great, but the rolled tacos are a must -- seriously the best! Crispy, flavorful, and so good every time. If you're looking for a laid-back place with good food, definitely check out Mamas. Support local! read more

What a fabulous gem! Stopped in for a late lunch, and would absolutely recommend and return if I am in the area. This is in a small shopping center near Dollar Tree, facing Lee Trevino. Colorful wooden tables and chairs throughout this on theme decorated restaurant. Seat yourself and be greeted with chips and salsa and a cup of creamy Mexican soup. Food is freshly made, and not greasy (a personal pet peeve). I ordered the green enchiladas with chicken and cheese mix. Beans and rice taste fresh and homemade. Soda, tea, and lemonade are best bets for drinks. I don't see beer or wine in the menu. Atmosphere and staff are friendly. read more

The food is A-MAY-ZING. I liked it so much I brought my family back the next day lol. Try the best of both worlds enchiladas with the chipotle sauce and the poblano/tomatillo sauce. You won't be disappointed! The service is friendly, you order at the table and pay at the register. The restaurant is very clean and colorful. Can't wait to return and try some new food! read more

Mama's Mexican Resturant - Creamy Chipotle enchiladas. So. Good. - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

This place gets busy for lunch but they do have plenty of seating. I had the chicken enchiladas with green sauce- it was fantastic- the chicken filling was cooked perfect and there was plenty of it. The green sauce had a little kick but this gringa was able to handle it. There were interesting things to look at everywhere- the art work on the walls was culturally beautiful. Great service, great food and great prices. read more

When you eat at Mama's, please don't come on Yelp and tell people how awesome it is. Let it be our secret. As it is, they are near capacity at lunch and we still want to be able to get a table. Imagine if you were a great cook, with a Mama who was the best cook anyone ever met, you had her recipes and unwavering demand for quality. Then imagine you're real smart and know how to work hard, and how to keep your team working hard but friendly with all your visitors. If you had all that going for you, you would open a place like Mama's and if you were real lucky and work hard, you might be half as good as Mama's. read more

I have been wanting to try these soupy tacos for a while now and finally found the time to head over. The place is smallish but comfortable and we were able to sit right away. They close at 3pm right now because of staff shortage according to the sign in front. I have to say, whatever they do to1 the tostada chips...omg keep doing it! Crunchy isn't crunchy enough of a word! I opted for the creamy soupy tacos and the spouse did the original soupy tacos. I loved mine. They were very flavorful and the "soup" was yummy by itself. Spouse liked his too but made the mistake of tasting mine and that ruined it for him! We'll be back to try the red enchiladas soon. read more

The Tortilla soup is wonderful. Nothing better when the weather is cold. A small bowl more than enough to eat. Plenty of chicken to make this a hardy meal. These girls learned well from Mama!!! read more

Went in felt like we were in the Bermuda Triangle they would just walk on by but not sit us or even talk to us very rude

I had a craving for rolled tacos and had been trying to visit mamas for some time but was never successful. I'm so glad I finally got to try this place!!! Rolled tacos were so good! I ordered the green soupy tacos with brisket. You get the option of chicken or brisket and they have 3 sauces (red, green, chipotle). The sauce is absolutely perfect! And the flautas are the perfect serving and packed with meat! I can't wait to come back to try the other tacos and the rest of the menu. read more

A very cute, authentic Mexican restaurant. Chips and salsa perfect. I ordered the Spicy Entomatadas chicken enchiladas and requested no cheese. Unfortunately this Mexican restaurant does not serve Comida Corrida, but it more than made up for it by serving a small bowl of tortilla soup. The soup was loaded with hominy, corn and shredded chicken. It was delicious. The three enchiladas came with rice, frijoles de olla and lettuce and tomato. The red entomatada sauce was superb. Nothing like I have had to endure in other restaurants. A truly wonderful lunch. read more

Such a sweet family runs this place; they make you feel like you're the only person in the room and serve amazing, authentic comfort food.

Since the pandemic began, I've been ordering take-out from Mama's weekly. The food quality HAS NOT changed... still super tasty and delicious. They also package their take out food presentably and professionally. I ate at the restaurant when the shutdown was not in-effect during the pandemic, and it felt really clean. I could not reasonably ask for anything else from this restaurant. More than satisfied. read more

THE BEST HUEVOS RANCHEROS! The hatch chili can be spicy but the flavor is bursting! Their sides are divine! The potatoes with cheese and bacon!? Consistently delicious and NEVER disappointing. I thank my parents for showing me this place. It's family owned too and they all work there together as a team. So cool to see and you can taste! You feel the love in their food. I have yet to try their lunch! 10 out of 10!!! Bravo! read more

I'm really picky about my Mexican food . My girlfriend, Shannon suggested Mama's. It's very small and in a shopping strip by dollar tree. We started with the chili con queso. It was excellent. We then placed our order . We both got enchiladas. They were excellent. Staff was nice . We also got a cup of soup with our order which was yummy . You must try this restaurant if you haven't already read more

Flautas, fries and a 20oz bottle drink was $20.55. Go to Chicos, you get more for your money.

I have eaten here several times. Food is always delicious, especially the soupy tacos. The traditional Mexican decor is quite colorful and adds to much to the ambience. Prices are fair, and service is okay. However, in regards to take out orders and hours of operation, there is much to improve. For example, they now close at 3. p.m. That leaves the dinner crowd out. Then they don't answer the phone for orders to go. It takes more than good food for an excellent review. So yes, I am now disappointed with Mama! read more

This is hard to rate.... The food is 10 stars for sure... However.... Service ALWAYS sucks! The family who owns the restaurant can always be found hanging out at the rear of the restaurant, chatting it up and stuffing their faces while we wait for things like refills on chips, drinks, and silverware and napkins. You are lucky if you are checked on by your server twice. If you guys can fix your culture, I bet you could be something super special! read more

Wow. While driving through Texas, we thought it would be fun to try some Tex-Mex cooking. I'm so glad we stopped here. My husband and I ordered the special which was avocado and cilantro enchiladas covered in a red sauce with steak. The plate included chicken soup and rice and beans, with a side of lettuce, tomato and sour cream. The food was fresh, not greasy, and very flavorful. The steak sauce had a bite to it, but nothing too hot for this white girl's palate. The beans could have been pinto or pink, but were delicious - same as the rice. The seasonings were slightly different from Cali-Mex, but spot on. I wish I could name them, but my taste buds aren't that educated! The service was prompt and friendly even after more customers started coming in. All in all, a very enjoyable experience. So if you're driving through or a local, this is definitely a place to come! read more

Very good Mexican food...I had the red spicy rolled tacos and the green sauce tacos. Both were really good. Me and the wife both agree that this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in El Paso. It's not as greasy as other places that's the only reason why I agree. BUT......I do like greasy places hhhmmm ggrreeaassseee...so I really recommend this place, loved it. The service is ok. It wasnt to packed which I loved because we didn't have to wait. read more

I had heard the food was amazing unfortunately it was so so nothing spectacular. I had the carne asada fires and for 12.99 was not impressed at all. The drinks are bottle not the glass bottle cokes which would be worth the price but the small plastic cokes you get from a vending machine. Service was horrible we went around 2:00pm and it seemed they were eager for us to eat and leave our waiter got our orders wrong and did not come back to check on us instead he left without saying anything. Our next waitress was also not customer oriented. I would not recommend this place. read more

Poor customer services. Great food but mom & pop shop that isn't concerned or customer obsessed. Just around to make a buck.

The best Mexican food in town by far! Everything is homemade and made fresh daily. My favorite meals are: the green chicken enchiladas and the regular beef soupy tacos. They serve the best homemade soup with lunch during the week, but be sure to get there early before the soup is gone. Mama's serves breakfast on Saturday and Sunday only. The veggie omelet with spinach, onions and red peppers is to die for and the Santa Fe with chicken is delicious. I don't usually eat potatoes or hash browns for breakfast but Mama's potatoes have bacon, cheese and green chili's mixed together and it's a creamy delight. I don't know what they do to their chips but they are the best in town-no store bought chips here. Another bonus is Mama's is family owned by a very nice family and mama actual does the cooking! read more

This place is a hidden gem. I had the Soupy Tacos and was extremely impressed with the flavor.

I really liked their Creamy Soupy Tacos because the sauce is very flavorful. The Original Soupy Tacos were good too but not as good as the Creamy sauce, imo. I gave it 3 stars because of their hours of operation. They close at 4pm on Saturday which is a little crazy if you ask me. I guess they are more of a breakfast- lunch place. read more

Went for lunch and as I was waiting for a while, I'm assuming someone that knew the manager walked in and he and his party were sat before I was. The excuse I was given was they were in earlier and came back...come on now. Very unprofessional. It's hard to support local owned business when they pull things like this. Very disappointed. read more
