Mama Lu's - A Modern Day Taco Shop

Vacationing in Traverse City, we stopped by here for lunch while doing some shopping on Front St. My girlfriend raved about the salsa, saying it was the best she has ever had. I agree with her! The tacos and street corn were great as well. Service was extremely friendly! I do recommend stopping by!

When in Traverse, one must go to Mama Lu’s for tacos. My favorites: vegetal, fish, and carnitas. Guacamole is tasty/lemony. Margaritas never disappoint (and you can get them to go!). Our server was super sweet and timely.

I was pretty excited about real street tacos, and a little disappointed. They could have been really good, but I think they are trying too hard with their flavor combinations. The fish taco had mandarin oranges on it, and they just overpowered the whole thing. The salsa Verde was very sour and unappealing. It was also freezing inside and I just wanted to leave.

The staff was exceptional accommodating food allergies, and fickle children. We did wait ~30 min., but their text system was prompt, timing was accurate. Great service and communication from staff members. Overall, great taco experience - get the churros- so tasty!

Visited Mama Lu’s for lunch on a visit to TC. The location is cute and had a nice atmosphere. The staff was friendly from the start and prompt in checking in on us and delivering drinks and food. The queso dip was fantastic and the guacamole was fresh. The margaritas were good & I particularly enjoyed the cucumber habanero margarita - it had just enough spice without being overbearing. However, we were a little disappointed by the tacos. We tried the special (steak), barbacoa, pork belly and shrimp tacos. The ingredients seemed fresh and their presentation was nice, but the overall taste was underwhelming. Overall, the drinks and apps outshined the tacos but we enjoyed our visit

Excellent tacos, like 10/10 good! I was impressed with everything here, my only complaint is that I wanted more taco options.

We came here for dinner for our anniversary and were very happy with everything we had. We tried all of the tacos, and thought they were all delicious. We also ordered the guacamole which was great, and I got a shandy which I really enjoyed as well. Would definitely recommend coming here.

Harbinaro cucumber margarita was excellent. The taco we got was good except it was the size of a postage stamp. The young lady who served us did an excellent job. I would only come back for the margarita although it was quite pricey! $13 seems like a lot especially when there’s two people. You can go to Florida and get good tacos for $2 a piece. Tacos at Mama Lu’s are $4.50 each. Not worth the price in my opinion.
