Was looking for something quick after work, burrito and blues was closed and I passed this on Nassau street...im glad I did. I got the basic burrito with beef, €6.50 with an extra 70c with guacamole...it was delicious, best burrito I've had in a while, the girls behind the counter were very friendly too. If your looking for a good burrito check it out...I'll be back read more

Mama's revenge is acutely feeling the Burrito inflation around and I am not sure it is offering anything new. For shops to remain I would imagine they would need a unique selling point, but I struggle to find MRs. When I went here recently with my cousin I got the basic beef with guacamole. It was pretty good but nothing on some of the more able competitors in the market. Come on MR, offer something new please!!! read more

Super yummy. I lived in CA and this is on par with anything that I'd find there. Healthy portions and reasonable prices.

Honestly, the best I can say for this place is that the food is inoffensive. Maybe it's because we're so far from Mexico? I dunno... The tortillas are kinda floppy and tear easily, so your burrito should come with a fork. I got the vegetarian one, which was supposed to come with sweet potato. She DID put some on, but so little that it was practically a tease. I knew what was coming next... Piled high with decent (I'll give them that!) veggies that were fairly tasty, then guac (extra charge, of course), and then a sizeable amount of cheese. She threw the cheese on so fast, I didn't have the chance to tell her, "JESUS, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" I like cheese, but if I wanted a "cheese burrito," I would have gotten a quesedilla. Anywho, they heated it up, and I'm not gonna lie, it tasted ok. Would I go back? Ehhh.... I wouldn't avoid it. But it certainly wasn't anything to write home about. Also, the staff looked like I had walked in and broken up their lunch plans. Jesus, SMILE, people. Life can't be that bad... read more

One of my favorite writers is an Australian guy called Peter Moore. He wrote 6 highly acclaimed travel books in the late 90s and early 2000s and his most famous book was the hilarious and fascinating The Wrong Way Home, in which he recounts his biggest trip of all. After living in London for a couple of years, he decided to travel back home to Sydney. Without getting on a plane. When he eventually did make it back to Australia, he decided to write a book about his experiences and it became a major succes. So, living the dream of every backpacker, he invested the money he made from his first book by heading off on a 6 month trip through Central America for his second book. This book is called The Full Montezuma, and is a play of words on Montezuma's Revenge, a term well known among backpackers to describe a certain gastro-enteritic event that happens to people who aren't used to the spicy food and hygiene standards of South America. So it was with some surprise that I found myself in front of a restaurant with a name very similar to this for the 7th stop on the Yelp Burrito Blowout. The space on the ground floor is tiny but as the place has a dining room in the basement, we figured we'd be okay. As luck would have it though, on the night we were there, a 2 tiered burrito eating contest was taking place in the basement and it was packed before we even got there. The ordering process was somewhat chaotic, to say the least. 3 people behind the counter were running around seemingly without following a clear routine and were constantly interrupted by some 2 or 3 additional staff members who were ferrying burritos to the contest downstairs. Meanwhile, all burritos were heated in what looked like an Easybake oven about the size of the laptopscreen I'm writing this review on. When we eventually all got our burritos, we squeezed in around the 2 small tables and dug in to our food. The chicken burrito I had was good. The chicken was nice and juicy, the rice had a nice bite to it and the salsa was appropriately spicy though by no means overly sweat-inducing. I washed it down with a bottle of Corona and looked at the score sheet in my Yelp passport. What to make of this burrito? It was a good, well balanced and reasonably priced burrito. Apart from the messy ordering process,there was nothing wrong with it, exactly. There was not spectacular about it either, though. And that, I think, is the thing with places like this. It's nice and good and decent, but it doesn't really have anything to set it apart from places like Tuzo or Tolteca, which are both around the corner. With new burrito places opening nearly every week, you really need to bring your A-game to stand out from the crowd in the increasingly saturated Dublin burrito market and, as it is, Mama's Revenge is just that: one of the crowd. read more

The burrito's I got were quite good and juicy. A downside is that at lunch time the place gets a huge queue, but it doesn't take too long to wait. There is also sitting downstairs. read more

Nice burritos. Wouldn't go out of my way to attend, but nice enough that if I'm walking by, well twould be rude not to pop in!

Delicious burritos, quesadillas and nachos. Perfect for a tasty and filling feed, that's quickly made in front of you at the counter, and inexpensive too - €5-6.50 for most dishes, and less if you're just looking for a classic cheese quesadilla or simple rice and beans burrito. My usual order is the veggie burrito with a side of tortilla chips with guacamole (nice and zesty) and pico de gallo, washed down with a cold beer. For the fillings you have a choice of meats (braised beef, chicken, chorizo, etc.) or the veggie option is sweet potato mash and grilled aubergine, plus peppers and onions, your choice of white/brown rice and pinto/black beans and salsa, guac, sour cream, cheese, etc. There are a few tables in front of the counter, and there's a bigger seating area downstairs. read more

There is a lot of dispute between who does the best burritos in town.. Is it Boojum? Is it Tolteca? Well, in my opinion its Mama's revenge. The basic burrito is my personal favourite and I really think the 70c is well worth it for the extra guacamole. I also much prefer your salsa to anywhere else! Mama's is also very convenient for me as it is near where I go to college! A1 in my opinion! read more

Fantastic place for quick and easy take away. They have a few stools if you want to sit and eat quickly. Big flavours and generous portions. Try the chili beef quesadilla. Nice meaty chili with a good amount of cheese, grilled til crispy. But the real star of this place is the burrito. Stuffed big with just the right ingredients. Friendly staff too. read more

Absolutely love this place! I'm literally here on a daily basis. Great people working here including Anna the owner :-).

Had the most delicious pork burrito, truly the best in Dublin.

Ordered a chicken quesadilla and felt that the staff were a bit unpleasant and somewhat a tad bit arrogant. i kinda wanted to leave asap once i got my quesadilla. The quesadilla was kinda basic and the chicken tasted very salty and dried out. wouldn't bother unless i had no other option. read more

Had a late lunch here, and was very impressed, big serving, and well season tasty chicken, didn't skimp on the condiments but a bit too much rice, that wasn't that well flavoured. All in all a great little burrito bar! read more

A delicious burrito and friendly staff! A good combination. What loat them the start was the overly juicy burrito because they didn't drain the Pico de Gallo before putting it into the burrito leaving me with a tasty but drippy meal and running my shirt...or maybe I'm just a slob read more

A girl behind the counter who wasn't even making our burrito asked my boyfriend for his name to write on his burrito but didn't ask mine funnily enough. She made a whole charade about his name, refused me the student discount and then when my boyfriend had collected the change and burritos. A couple of minutes later, we realised the receipt was in actual fact the girls number and something written in Spanish on it. I was so angry and threw the burrito in the bin. Horrible, disrespectful staff. I've no interest in giving such people money. read more

I love this place for lunchtime burritos. Lots of choice and very fresh ingredients. You can choose from five different meats including pulled pork, beef steak and beef mince. Also black beans or pinto beans and tasty cheese, salad and jalapeños. read more

A pretty average burrito joint, I'd say its pretty popular with students and office workers nearby if you want a cheap carbohydrate fill at lunchtime. I don't really have anything in particular to say about it, my veggie burrito was fine. Its great for people watching if you sit at the window, but seating is so limited its more a grab and go lunch. read more

Best value great tasting burritos in Dublin by far. When i feel hungry this my place to go.

So if you are walking down south Leinster street and you see a shop window steamed up like Jack and Rose scene in Titanic that is Mama's Revenge. On entering you aren't to sure what to except but it is like walking into your half Mexican-half Irish mother's kitchen! I had a voucher for here to get a burrito and chips and salsa and drink for 5 euro pretty goood! This place really does cater towards the cash strapped students across the way as it offers 3 levels of burrito goodness: 1. The basics 2. A little more than your average 3. Packed to the brim with filling!. When in Rome as they say I went for level 3 with the chorizo and pork mince. I have to say it was really tasty.The highlight was definitely the salsa I got with the chips .. it was hot because I am a BAD-ASS! But the flavor was fresh, spicy and cooling all in one bite I would definitely go back for more. read more

Our rating shows 2, but it really is a 2 1/2. My daughter did not like her beef quesadilla, because she thought it was imitation Mexican food. She thought it was bland. My burrito, however, was fairly tasty, but was not spicy at all. Overall, not highly recommended. read more

Meh. Cheese is really awkward / bad tasting. The rest of the burrito innards were ok. Have tried other restaurants with the similar Mexican / burrito concept and they are much better. read more

Gorgeous burrito, got the chili beef classic. Lovely seating downstairs and v.friendly staff

We were in the need of something solid and this hit the spot. The burritos are big so we split one but if I would have had my own, I would have eaten the whole thing! We accidentally stumbled upon this place but we liked it so much, we went back two days later. Both times we got the regular burrito and added guacamole. The place is very tiny so plan on take away and be pleasantly surprised if a spot to sit opens up. read more

Very delicious burritos for good price love how they had a veggie option that had amazing taste.The pinto beans were amazing couldn't get enough .Overall great place in general and staff were very interactive and friendly. read more

It's not worth the hype. Not the best burrito burrito in Dublin... it is cheap though for all you Uni students out there!

I don't understand the negative comments for this place. Been there 3 times in last two weeks and the food is really really impressive. tasty and generous helping, good ingredients...couldn't fault it on anything. Lived in ny for a year and know my burritos. This is as good as they come for me! read more

Consistently the best veggie burritos in Dublin. The sweet potato mash and aubergines just do it for me. The student deal is fabulous value as well. It's a bit annoying that they don't take card though and I've been in a few times where they haven't had enough change for everyone, which just causes the already long lines to back-up. read more

Bombarded by word of mouth advertising by my fellow students, It was inevitable that I was to explore the new fast food attribution to Thomas Street and make a just assessment. My first experience was on a Wednesday evening around 7pm in December. I describe the setting only to allow full understanding of the situation, i.e. I was cold and had the midweek (burrito) blues. Initially, when I entered the restaurant, I thought it was the warm orange wall paint, or perhaps the steamed windows that gave the impression of glorious Mexico, but weeks later I was to learn that this was not the case.. I introduced myself to the long, white haired mad max character that stood behind the till staring menacingly into my soul. No doubt the 'wild hog' motorcycle out front (and tattoed on his forearm) belonged to him. "eh, what can i get yee?" sniggered the last of mohicans.. "Well, I guess I'll have a fucking burrito mate!" I bellowed in an attempt to equal this maniac's greeting call. (chorizo-spicey sauce-pinto beans-guacamole- everything please and no bullshit). This man was alone and it still baffles me to this day how he of all people came to the conclusion that opening up a burrito place on Thomas street was the thing for him. Queer enough, we waited while he warmed up my burrito and stared at the coffee machine with those murderous blue eyes. After a painful 15minutes, Kevin Costner handed me my lunch and allowed me to leave his orange Water World. I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty good. So good in fact I came back for more and have even clocked up a nice few stamps on my loyalty card. And so is the banality of my guilty pleasure. However, each trip to Mama's gets harder to do purely because of our unavoidable friendship built on necessity and loneliness. Each time he asks more questions I must carefully answer as not to give away too much personal information. Each time, he stares for a little longer. Each time, I debate just settling for a poor quality chick'n fillet roll so that I can relax in the informalities of Centra's asian staff.. Now, in February, I finally learn why the windows are always foggy and Conan the barbarian always seems startled when someone comes in. Why there are smiles all around until the burrito master is introduced to the Thomas Street demographic once more.. For there are another two staff members of European decent that work for Mama's Revenge. Two ditsy Spaniards, who nervously smile under their Rebel leader and avoid physical contact. I could cut the sexual tension with a knife and even the hottest sauce does not compare to Mama's Ravenous internal affairs. It is purely up to you whether you want to put up with awkward interpersonal relationships for a rewarding burrito and I can only give you my story. The Oedipal Burrito is only 5.50 with a student card and I would highly recommend it to all socially tolerant fans of Mexican cuisine. May god have mercy on you. read more

Thomas St caf: best and biggest burritos EVER. Veggie ones very healthy. Great coffee - very important to me. Great value too. And Conan the Barbarian doesn't scare me........ read more

Great burritos for vegetarians, I recommend the spicy salsa too. Excellent value for money, especially for students. Very friendly and fast service. One of my favourite lunch shpots! read more

Best burrito place in Dublin! The only place here that remotely compares to places back home. They have amazing tortillas very soft and nicely toasted. Their beans are delicious! I usually get black and pinto beans. Guac is extra but it is delicious and they are pretty generous. The only thing I don't like is their sour cream. It's a little too tangy for my taste. read more

Love this place. Best guacamole in Dublin - that alone will keep me coming back. Great student prices and tasty ingredients. Love me some Mama's Revenge! read more

A go to for anyone on college. Cheap, big and delicious burritos has given this place the title of best burrito around trinity. They have bargain burritos along with jumbo one so no matter what you are looking for you will find it. read more

Good burrito, but very disappointing when I came to close doors at 5pm even though it still should be open. Coming directly from the hospital and longing for a good first meal it felt like backstabbing... read more

Best burrito I've tried in Dublin so far! I just moved to Dublin from San Diego, California about 2 months ago and I've been missing good taco shops. This place is cheap, quick and delicious. Their guac is quite tasty although they're lacking a good salsa. The "hot" salsa is far from hot and instead of a good cholula or tapatio on the tables they only offer Tabasco and charge 50 cents extra if you want anymore of their salsa. Besides that small downside they do a really great chicken burrito which my boyfriend enjoyed for 5.50 and their vegetarian nachos were so good and filling for only 4.70. They have a really cute sitting area downstairs or you can choose to sit up stairs at street level. It was really busy when we went so the staff was a bit rushed and kind of rude to us but considering the circumstances I understood. I wouldn't have minded waiting a few extra minutes for them to put a bit more care into the burritos they were making though instead of just carelessly throwing everything in and shouting across to us asking what we wanted. However I'll ignore that since the food was so good but I'd like to revisit when they're less busy and I hope the service will be better. If you like burritos definitely give this place a go! read more
