MamaRita's Lubbock Reviews
Great place to chill and have a bite to eat and grab a beer. Environment is great and service was excellent. I recommend coming here to have a great time
One of our favorite spots for a Sunday afternoon !! Food is great !! ALWAYS!! Very reasonably priced .. and the staff are friendly and professional !! It’s a long time favorite … !!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mamaritas never disappoints! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is always welcoming, and the service is top-tier. I also want to give a special shout-out to Ashton, the new bus boy — he is genuinely one of the kindest and hardest-working people there. He makes sure you get what you need, always with a great attitude. Mamaritas give that dude a raise! Highly recommend this place.
Food has always been great everytime we go! Queso and hot sauce are so good! Service has not been an issue so far, we recommend giving them a try!
Wonderful atmosphere. Absolutely loved the fajita enchilada con queso. Highly recommended.
Good place to dine if you want mucho nachos. That's all I have ever ordered. My wife love the chicken strips. The crew that work there are respectful and nice.
Quick and easy choice for lunch. They have great options to choose from and at $6.99 you can’t beat that. A lot of locals hang out here and the atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. I always get their lunch sour cream chicken enchiladas.
I enjoyed the good food! Due to this I impressed by taste and low prices, I have been here many time’s. No staff service, but the chashiet was very professional and very kind. The atmosphere was delightful. They made you feel at home. Noise was very limited Only one child was crying briefly.
Wife went to school here a while ago, with respect to her time frame here, I will not provide it. But awesomeness Viva Lubbock and TTU!! Quick fact: Mother Law Wife Niece Have graduate from this amazing university. Pretty’s sure one of sons will be here in a few years! Viva Lake Highlands Dallas, TX TECH GRADUATES
Such a classic place. I've been coming to this place for over 20 years. We moved to the DFW area about 10 years ago and we try to come by everytime we are in town. We, of course, had to get the nachos. And like usual... they were amazing. We ordered the regular beef and bean nachos and then the Mamas Mucho Nachos. And you can't help but hit the hot sauce bar with the 5 different levels of hotsauce. Mild, hot, snake bite, Holy Jalepeno, and sweet. This is a must-eat-place if you are in Lubbock by the mall area.
We enjoyed the chips and queso. The food is good and margaritas are fantastic. Wish the quesadilla had more meat but other than that it was good
Friendly staff and decent food. Not terribly priced. It is good dont get me wrong but didn't quite hit the authentic flavor i was looking for. Ill give it another try when able. The nacho chalupa was my only disappointment: its just a tostada with jalapenos and melted cheese on it. Oh there is one major highlight worth going for regardless of what you get- that great sala bar!
Pretty disappointed with my experience and meal. The food, although a good price and visually appealing, was really bland and some ingredients were on their way out or stale. The basket of chips we had were two types mixed together, half stale old chips and half thin chips. The queso was disappointing and gloopy. My street taco was good, but my chicken taco was flavorless and bland. Other reviews have mentioned as well but they do allow smoking on one side of the restaurant, we were able to get seats as far away from that area as possible but still left feeling smoky smelling and with irritated lungs. Won't be returning.
The Manager here is terrible. Tried to tell me I was wrong and they don’t have a rewards system and she tells them what to put in. I showed her the text where it said to redeem the rewards and she argued and belittled us. Below is what I showed her and she argued that it was for another business. They use the same texted service Twny. Very rude and unprofessional. The cashier was very helpful and understanding.
I will never come here again food came out late and was cold before hitting the table wasn't good at all and while waiting my boyfriend and his mom seen a mouse will never step food in this place again it was disappointing
Food was terrible....and when I complained about how food was cold, tasted sour, rice was hard, charro beans were chili beans, etc the waitress was kind of rude. Spoke with the manager and she ended up not charging for the food but she was not very pleasant about it either. Definitely do not recommend unless they get it together in the future but for me I will not ever be returning.
Some things never change! It’s been a couple of years since I’ve eaten here, and they still don’t take orders at the drive-thru window (the exact reason I stopped coming before). Honestly, just board up the window and tear down the outdoor menu. I’m sure the food would have been great… if I’d actually gotten any.
I came here for the first and last time today. I ordered online, the menu made no mention of lettuce, tomato, or sour cream on the nachos I ordered. While waiting for my order I noticed all the food was coming out of the window with sour cream. I let the young lady that was helping me know, and that I was not interested in having that. “They will just take it to the back and scrape it off, they won’t remake it.” is the only help she offered. Then I find out that I paid $7 for this small Queso, that doesn’t come with the chips to eat it. Upset I used the link to email the restaurant only to get an “address not found” response.
