Mama Tigre

We had a good experience at Mama Tigre overall. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was consistently good. We tried the lamb birria, queso masala, unlimited chips with salsa, paneer, chicken wings, and the guava drink—everything was flavorful and well prepared. We also celebrated my brother’s birthday here, and the staff made it fun with their signature celebration hat, which added a nice, festive touch to the experience. The guava drink was refreshing, portions were satisfying, and the menu offered a nice mix of options. Overall, a solid spot with good food and service, and we’d be happy to visit again. 🎉

Great restaurant that's casual with a flare. Indian and Mexican fusion, the menu is large. The masala nachos were great as was the butter chicken taco. The fish taco wasn't as crispy or flaky but still good. The portions are huge. The restaurant is packed and noisy but overall good experience.

Love the food, customer service and experience. Manager Siva and our server Shara was very friendly and kind. We had a great experience celebrating our family members' BDay. Amazing food and lots of veggies options. Mexican Indian twist Drinks are great as well.

I visited this place with a friend (though we’re no longer friends now 😜), and it was truly a wonderful experience. It’s not easy to find a place that serves such delicious food with authentic spices that remind you of home. Everything we ordered was excellent, we even ended up overeating! The staff were also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Mama Tigre is always poppin, but it’s worth the wait if you have the time or plan ahead. The restaurant only takes reservations for big groups. It has amazing Indian-Mexican fusion dishes, and the chefs do not skimp on portions. I’ve been here twice now, and there wasn’t anything I didn’t love. Appetizers: Guac - super fresh. The Masala queso - so flavorful and unique. The Baja shrimp appetizer - chef’s kiss. Habanero salsa - VERY spicy which I love! Chicken taquitos - delicious. Entrees: I can’t speak for the mains that my husband and our friends got, but they seemed to enjoyed them. The guys cleaned their plates. There was only half of the jambalaya left on my girl friend’s plate. I can’t blame her. It was a lot of food. I loved the lamb birria. I couldn’t finish the broth and naan, but I took them to-go and ate the leftovers as snacks the next day. Highly recommend this local spot!

Was feeling like eating some tacos tonight, and decided to give this Mexican-Indian fusion restaurant a try ! The complimentary chips and Salsa was so good, the salsa was so zesty, I could taste how fresh the tomatoes were :) They had a lot of vegetarian options, and I went for the Chili Paneer tacos with some Model Especial on draft. The tacos arrived fairly quick, and was served with a side of freshly made mango salsa, black beans and house rice. The chili Paneer gravy paired with the naan taco shells, just made it a very refreshing twist on tacos and ofcourse I got some hot sauce to amp up the heat ! 🔥 🌶️ For dessert, I got the churros, served with ice creams and it tasted delicious! The food here was really good, I just think that the service could have been a little more upbeat & cheerful! Will definitely come back! :)💐

This was a great experience. Previously, we had ordered takeout, but dining in was even better. If you have eaten here, there is a good chance you'll become an ardent fan, just like the people who recommended this restaurant to me. I was here to meet a friend, and we both truly enjoyed the ambiance, the service, and, of course, the food. ​The way I judge a restaurant starts with the host or hostess. A cheerful person at the host stand makes all the difference, and I experienced that on both of my visits. That positive spirit and a smile are reflected in the service throughout the meal. The second thing I look for is how well their systems work, especially the frequency of water glass refills. I was pleasantly surprised that they ask if you want water with ice, and my guest's request for room-temperature water was pleasantly fulfilled. ​The chef/owner has taken a risk by combining Mexican and Indian food, but it's a very good combination because of the many similarities between the two cuisines. This food will appeal to everyone, and for those who want to be adventurous and try Indian food, this is a great place to start. It's perfect for people with different palates who enjoy a mixture of cuisines. ​The service was exceptional. I love that they have a card that is green or red depending on if you want service, which we didn't even need to use. The service staff assigned to us, whose name was Sasha, was always paying attention and was there when we needed her. ​The portions are generous, and the food is very tasty. The texture of the bread was not stringy, making it the perfect companion for the chicken tikka roll, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The menu has a lot of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The bar menu also looked good, so I have to come back another day when it's not a working day. There's plenty of parking, and the location is excellent—right off I-66 and not too far from my house in Potomac, MD. ​For dessert, we shared the fried ice cream, which was a delight, and the portion was quite large.

Had a WONDERFUL dining experience at Mama Tigre! The staff were so diligent and friendly, the food was full of flavor with balanced spice, and the atmosphere was so lively! Highly recommend 10/10! Best fusion you can find!

First time there for lunch yesterday. Food and service was amazing. Chicken Tikka Tacos!!! Woke up thinking about how delicious it was and their salsa with chips is to die for! Dominic was our server and he was so attentive and sweet! Cannot wait to go back again! Everyone who worked there was so welcoming.

Mama Tigre is an absolute culinary revelation! I had never imagined combining Mexican and Indian flavors before, but they do it with such creativity and skill, it just works perfectly. This is one of the most exciting and unique concepts I've tried in a long time. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. The way they blend the vibrant spices of India with the fresh, zesty components of Mexican cuisine is masterful. The flavors are bold, complex, and incredibly satisfying. Beyond the incredible concept, the restaurant offers fantastic value. The portions are big--you definitely won't leave hungry!--and the price is very decent for the high quality and inventive nature of the food. If you're looking to break out of your usual dinner routine and try something genuinely new and delicious, you have to go to Mama Tigre. Bring an appetite and prepare to be impressed by this brilliant fusion!

Horrible experience and wasted time and money. Second time here after a year or so and the quality has really gone down. The menu had guacamole which is the tiniest portion ever seen. The fajita had hard vegetables flavorless and even the paneer was over-fried and hard. The happy hour - don't take the house margarita as it's technically a Costco margarita mixer they use! We got soar throat and it messed up our holidays! Better to go to an authentic Mexican restaurant or an Indian instead of spin on something which clearly they have not perfected.

Can't decide between Mexican and Indian? Why not both? Mama Tigre is a unique blend of Indian and Mexican food: think paratha tacos, masala enchiladas and tamarind margaritas. On a friday night, this place was absolutely packed, but even with a estimated 45 minute wait, our party of 4 was seated in about 20 mins. So turnaround is fast! We ordered a variety of dishes: lamb birria, butter chicken tacos, butter chicken remixed and pollo en mole. For the most part everyone enjoyed their dishes! The molè had that classic deep, savory taste. The butter chicken was flavorful and the pickles and salsa on the side provided a light contrast to the butter chicken. My table did complain that the butter chicken tacos on the other hand were kind of salty, but everything else was great! And the portions! There's a reason everyone walks out with a doggy bag. For the price you pay, you do get a ton of food. Well worth it in this economy! We're not in the area often. But the next time we're here, we'll definitely be back!

The food here is really innovative and delicious! I don't see many Indian/Mexican fusion places around here, and definitely not tasty as the food here was. We got the ceviche and masala queso as our appetizers which were really tasty and enjoyable. For our entrees, I got the enchiladas with the special toppings (which was like the masala queso and other sauces which was well worth it) and I like how you can pick different fillings so I got the chicken tinga in one and bean and cheese in the other and my partner got the naan tacos which were interesting and delicious. I'm deducting a star because they don't have a system to reserve a table and with a popular place like this, you can end up waiting a while (I actually tried to come here before and we left with the insane wait). Our server forgot about the drinks we ordered so we didn't get them until our entrees came. Also, this is picky but the to-go containers are really not good. They were the clear flimsy plastic ones and had 3 compartments so everything leaked into each other by the time we got home. All in all though, we did enjoy it here and plan on returning!

Do you love Mexican and Indian food? Well then you will absolutely adore the food fusion going on here. This has become one of my fav restaurants in the DMV area by far. Food is always top notch and the flavors are amazing. Def try the Tikka wings if you stop by. They are a must have every time I visit! My husband loves the shrimp tacos and they do not go light on the shrimp. These bad boys are filled to the brim. The servers and managers here are also super friendly and helpful. Always a smile and nice to see you whenever we stop by. Highly recommend!

This is a well run restaurant. A very contemporary food theme, both Mexican and Indian. Mixing them together to have a great menu that is enjoyable. It's hot to have the friendly welcoming spirit start from the entrance. Service is very accommodating and excellent. Menu takes care of carnivores, gluten free, vegans and of course vegetarians. Nice bar menu. For portions are excellent and pricing system to excellent value.

Our group met for lunch. It's easy to get a seat when you are the first ones to arrive. Our server brought out complimentary chips and salsa. We indulged in a second helping of chips and additional bowls of the fresh salsa. It a was a blend of pico and salsa. Server was very attentive. She made sure we had enough beverages. Food was fresh. The blend of Indian and Mexican had us ordering some butter chicken fusion and enchiladas. The fresh pico really added to the taste of my enchilada. I do wish the portion was a bit bigger. The taquito was super tiny.

A delicious fusion of savory Mexican and Indian food! We had to wait 30mins on a Monday for a table and the food is almost worth it! The service is a little slow so yes obviously you'll fill up on chips and take your entree home. Highly recommend Kathi rolls and masala burrito.

Went here for a last minute dinner on a Monday evening and were able to get a table immediately, despite how busy they are on the weekend! Started with chips, salsa and guac. All were very tasty and the salsa had a little kick, which we loved. For entrees, I got the tikka tacos and my husband got the spicy tikka fajitas. Both were HUGE portions of foods and very tasty, though I will say it was more Indian than Mexican. I know the way it was prepared was very much Mexican, but I guess I was hoping for more of a mix of the two with both flavors. Don't get me wrong, the food was delicious but I would not recommend ordering the Indian style entrees if you are craving Mexican!

What an excellent experience! All the food we ordered was thoughtfully made from very fresh ingredients at the same lower to average price as chain restaurants that use inferior ingredients. This place gives so much taste satisfaction that we are planning to come back regularly and really hope that they can stay in business providing such good quality healthy ingredients at such low prices for Northern Virginia!

Really really good! The service was good and ambience was fun and pretty casual. We got the nachos, butter chicken enchiladas, and tikka fajitas. The nachos were really loaded with toppings and had a nice smoky taste. I would want to return and try some more stuff on the menu

This place is an amazing fusion of Indian and Mexican cuisine. The flavors of the food burst in your mouth. From the tikka wings to the burritos, quesadillas, and kati rolls. Everything will make your palate crave more. Don't miss out on the masala queso and the drinks. I have taken out from here many times and the food is just as tasty! Beautiful blend of 2 cultures!

I think they could scale up their idea of what is "fusion" -- mostly it means Mexican food with naan bread (think taco shells but naan) or with paneer cheese, or it means Indian food with tortillas. But that said, the masala queso is fire, the portions are good, and the HH deals are worth it. Will return!

Lots of possibilities in the future 3.4/5 overall Food (1/2) - the food was ... okay. I love the idea. Mexican and Indian food can mix relatively very well. For example the naan paneer tacos were delicious. However, the tikka base used in all "masala" dishes becomes redundant. I wish there were different Indian flavor bases used in different dishes to keep them unique such that masala enchiladas don't taste the same as masala tacos or nachos. But the idea is great and there aren't that many restaurants that offer the Indo-Mex mix. In the future, adding variety of Indian flavors will help make this place even more attractive. Drinks (0.75/1) - drinks were decent and had nice balance. Of course they're not the fanciest but they are as good as you expect from a Mexican casual spot. Service (0.75/1) - Service was good. They have these cards on table that you can flip to note the staff that we need service or not. But there were few times when we needed something, it was taking a while to get someone's attention even when there were few staff members standing there looking at the dining hall. However, I will say it was a very busy and hectic night so I can understand some mishaps can happen. Decor (0.8/1) - not much bad to say about the decor and ambiance. Only thing to add would be to balance the Indian and Mexican art works. To me it was mostly one sided but still looked good for a casual dining experience. The lighting was good too but the spaces felt cramped overall. It feels weird having to go through the review and see that it only got a 3 star. But I would come back here again, perhaps on a quieter time to get the most out of it.

We came here for a Sunday dinner. Overall, good ambiance , good service, and good food! I had heard of this place but hadn't gotten around to dining here until friends of mine (who are Indian/Pakistani) mentioned how good it was. We had the masala nachos, spicy tikka fajitas (chicken), butter chicken enchiladas, and the Santa Fe burrito. Upon being seated, we were served a basket of complimentary chips and a tasty mild red salsa. The nachos made a great start. In addition to classic nacho cheese sauce and sliced pickled jalapeno peppers, this appetizer came topped with pickled red onions, queso fresco, salsa verde, and crema - all set atop a layer of saucy beans. There was also a sprinkling of masala on top. The masala and jalapenos added a bit of nice spice, but not a lot. The serving size is good for 3-4 people and we used some of the complimentary chips to scoop up the leftover bean sauce. The Santa Fe burrito is described thusly: "Crispy cauliflower, charred onion-pepper, rice, black beans, fresh greens, pickled onions and cheese blend, in a large toasted spinach tortilla, topped with chipotle tikka sauce, melted cheese, crema, queso fresco and cilantro" And the enchiladas: "Stacked, New Mexico style, topped with tikka masala sauce, melted cheese, pico, cilantro and crema" And the spicy tikka fajitas: "With basmati rice, black beans, toasted naan bread, cilantro-mint crema, jalapeños & pickled onions Choose: Chicken | Steak or Shrimp | Salmon | Vegetable & Paneer" You'll notice a theme - chipotle tikka, tikka masala sauce, spicy tikka. While individually, all of these were great, if you're sharing and comparing, they will all seem to have the same flavor profile with slight differences in spice heat - ie, butter-tikka masala overlaying classic Mexican dishes. This is not bad in itself, but on my next visit, I'll be more diverse in what we order. Again, the flavors were bold and delicious. The serving sizes were also huge. I highly recommend and I'll be back soon.

Are you looking for Mexican...or Indian cuisine? Well guess what if you can't choose then come here! They offer a mix of both! The style inside is more catered to Mexican style but is very colorful. They have amazing drinks, food and i have been here a few times and have always had wonderful customer service! Great place to bring your family or your date! All in all a great place to stop by and check out especially if everyone wants different options.

After an amazing lunch, glad I came back for happy hour a week later! Delicious Indian Mexican fusion, the food is truly bursting with flavor and tickles my taste buds! The Combination platter of Paneer Enchilada and Potato Spinach and Cheese Taquito along with an a la carte Caulilflower taco was a great way to sample the menu! The Paneer Kati roll is hands-down the best kati roll I've had! The Paneer Enchilada hit the spot with a creamy cheesy Tikka sauce while the the Spinach Cheese Potato Masala Taquito had a spicy kick! The Mexican rice was great for mopping up the sauce and absorbing the spiciness. It was a bummer the Cauliflower Taco wasn't an option for the Combination Platter of 3 (only the meat tacos were an option). I'm glad I ordered it a la carte for $8 - it was worth it! The crispy Cauliflower had a sweet and tangy sauce stuffed in 2 thin tortillas. Interestingly enough, all 3 items - the Enchilada, Taquito and taco had completely different sauces and flavors. The Happy Hour has good deals - try the Kati Paneer roll! The roll is a generous size with tender scrumptious paneer stuffed in warm cheesy tortilla. I'll opt out of the jalapenos/chili next time. it added a spicy kick! The Masala Fries were like Indian version of spicy Disco fries. They were fun to try, but they were soggy from all of the sauce and a bit too spicy. I wish the sauces came on the side. I wasn't a fan of the Classic Margarita or the Sangria on happy hour, the flavors weren't quite balanced out. Both drinks had a tangy flavor and I wish the sangria was a bit sweeter and had a heavy flavor from the Triple Sec. I enjoyed the Passionfruit Margarita. The complementary chips were fine and a bit salty, nothing really special (I wouldn't fill up on them). I was delightfully stuffed at the end of the meal! Note - the restaurant doesn't take online or phone reservations for parties under 10, but I didn't wait long (10 min) for a party of 5 for Saturday lunch at 1pm (3 of 5 had to be there). Excited to come back to try the crispy Paneer Tikka Tacos and satisfy my cravings for the Paneer Enchiladas and Paneer Kati Roll!

I tried the Vegetable Tacos at Mama Tigre, and they were absolutely delicious! The tacos were packed with fresh, flavorful veggies and had just the right balance of spice and texture. The presentation was vibrant and appetizing. The ambience was lively and modern, with upbeat music and a welcoming vibe. perfect for a casual evening out. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was on point. Overall, a great dining experience that I'd definitely recommend!

Came for HHR on Frinight - wow is this place popular! HHR only at the bar area - a nice, roomy space with tables & booths + bar stools. Honestly, the food is good but nothing spectacular. The vibe is casual fun, service is friendly and HHR specials great - lots pluses. We'll come again but just not rushing back.

This is truly one of the most unique fusion restaurants that I have been to - Indian and Mexican, inspired by the Indian chef's travels and culinary studies in Mexico. The menu has an innovative blend of Indian and Mexican elements, with mainly an infusion of Indian spices, sauces and preparations into Mexican dishes like mole, enchiladas, and fajitas. The drinks menu is even more innovative with the spices and flavors of both cuisines infused into some very fun and flavorful cocktails. Probably hands down, my favorite dish was the Desi Tres Leches, which was a light tres leches soaked in rosewater pistachio milk. Like no other tres leches, and a true fusion of Mexican and indican cooking which showcases both. The masala infused sauces and the tikka chicken dishes also have this same mixture of culinary fun, making a traditional Mexican dish into something different and also recognizable at the same time. This is a fun and lively place with attentive servers helping families with 3 generations in attendance celebrating a birthday or a couple on a date or a family of three enjoying a memorable dinner at the bar. There are nooks and crannies around the restaurant that allow tables to almost feel as though they are in a private room while still having the vibe or a brightly decorated and strongly themed interior. If I ever move away from NOVA, this would be one of the restaurants that I will pine for as there has never been this combination of Mexican and Indian food that I have ever come across. Truly a delight each time! The wait is not insignificant during peak dinner times, though a table of 10+ can reserve, and off hour dinner at 5:45 or 8:30 would likely have little to no wait. But definitely worth the wait as many find out week after week.

This place was recommended by someone because I had lived in the DMV for a while but I had not branched out. This was such a cute cozy spot. I definitely hope to come again!! I really liked how my taco was not the traditional taco type. The naan bread was so soft. Additionally, I don't normally enjoy Mexican food especially the rice but this rice was amazing!! I also had the Mango Lassi drink which was great. Our server was amazing as well! Highly recommend!!

The loaded fries are 10/10 amazing and definitely the item I'd get the most. Cocktails were solid too! Otherwise I got tacos which were just okay to me so I'll probably try something else next time but the apps and drinks are definitely worth the visit!

Mama Tigre has been on my list to check out. I met a friend for dinner the other night. We arrived during happy hour and opted to sit at a table in the bar area. They have solid happy hour options for both drinks and food. You get free chips and salsa to star. I didn't take a look in the main dining room but needless to say this place was hoping all night and it was a Wednesday. Our server was very friendly, on top of service and helpful. We started with the tikka wings. They were super flavorful. I liked both the mayo habanero chutney and the creama that came with it. I only wish the wings were crispy. We also tried the spinach and cheese taquitos per our server recommendation. They were also very good!! I got the lamb Birria which was good, not great. My friend got a veggie and paneer burrito. It was also very tasty and HUGE!! The naan was super disappointing. Too thick and not very flavorful in my opinion. This was the biggest let down. We both agreed it needed revised. I'd go back but hoping the naan recipe changes.

Overall: 4.5 stars Tried Mama Tigre 3 times now and enjoyed all 3 times. Most recently tried the Jambalaya which was flavorful and filling. Good service and plenty of parking around the restaurant. It can get busy on the weekends, so may need to plan ahead of time. I plan on coming back to try other food items. Food Quality: 4 stars Most recently ordered the Jambalaya (tried this twice now). Very flavorful and filling. I want to try other food items but find myself ordering the Jambalaya again as it is a very good/safe dish. Previously tried the Chicken Tikka Tacos and Fajita Supremas, both of which were good (but prefer the Jambalaya). Slightly on the expensive end (about $22-28 per dish). Service/Experience: 4.5 stars The staff was friendly and welcoming. Prompt service and food came out in a reasonable amount of time (or at least it seemed so, as we were given refills of our chips and salsa). Plenty of parking around the restaurant but definitely can be busy/packed on the weekends (nights). Plenty of seating inside and can accommodate for larger group sizes (for get-togethers, events, etc.).

5/5! Came here for the first time with a friend. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, as the Mexican/Indian fusion cuisine was different from what I was used too. The Food: For the food, I went with the Masala Fries as an appetizer, and the Chicken Tikka Fajita. The fries paired with the Masala seasoning and sauce worked so well together! The aroma that the Chicken Tikka Fajita gave when you hear it sizzling off the hot plate was amazing. The flavors of both the fries and fajita were incredibly delicious. The portions of each item was fair as well. Definitely left here satisfied! The Service: The service was great! Staff were friendly and were attentive to us. The Atmosphere: The restaurant was nicely decorated and clean. Dinner can get pretty busy, so I would do a call ahead and put your name down. They also have outdoor seating as well. Overall, a 5/5! Enjoyed my experience here. The Mexican/Indian fusion worked so well with each other. This has become one of my favorite restaurants to go too!

This is a fantastic Mexican restaurant. Has the typical menu items along with some unique creations. I had the POllO POBLANO which is strips of grilled chicken in a creamy chipotle tikka sauce with roasted peppers and onions. Served with tortillas, house rice, black beans, crema & mango-pineapple. Delicious and enough food for a second meal the next day. My wife had the CAULIFLOWER TACOS ....Spice rubbed crispy cauliflower, exotic tikka masala sauce, sesame seeds, queso fresco, spicy mango chutney, cilantro. In corn tortillas with cheese. She said it was one of the best veggie options she has ever had at a Mexican restaurant. As the designated driver, I had a yummy Mango Lassi. We came in the middle of the week because an attempt to dine there on a Saturday night proved to be impossible without waiting 30 plus minutes. We will return!

We hit this great spot for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! I was dubious about the fusion concept, but it really worked. Crowded with families, which was a lot of fun if you have a little time to spare. But more importantly the food was amazing. Butter chicken enchiladas! They had gluten-free options, and amazing cocktails (I had the mojito margarita.) Service was stellar. Thank you Omar for looking after us.

Our friends raved about this place stating they bring all friends/family here so we knew we had to try it! We ended up with a variety of food but we definitely had a few stand outs which included the tikka wings, lamb Birria, and camarones masala. The tikka wings were nice and crunchy with a well seasoned sauce. Lamb Birria was definitely good but the naan that came with it was lacking. Definitely a great place to try if you're in the area.

I can confidently say this is the best Indian Mexican food I have had at a restaurant. I got their masala burrito and it was a great blend of Indian masala flavors with a Mexican flare. The nachos were also good but I heard the fries are better (for next time). Their salsa also tasted fresh and felt homemade. The inside is quite busy and we were there on a Wednesday so plan accordingly. Seating is similar to your typical Mexican restaurant. Plenty of screens if you are interested in watching a game. Service was quick and efficient. Prices were slightly high but average for the area and definitely worth it for the amount of food you get. Plenty of parking around the building. I definitely want to come back to try their other foods and drinks.

I like this place. I havent came across a Mexican Indian fusion place. It is definitely more Mexican than Indian though. The location is right next to a USPS but they have their own building. I made a joke when driving up "we're going to eat lunch at USPS!" Anyways, the food is quite flavorful. The lamb birria was okay. It is a bit spicy, which I like, but I wouldn't say it was the best Birria I had. The Carne Asada was done really well. The beef was tender. The Masala fries was simple, but great to snack on. The service was great. They had plenty of staff and the interior was fun and new. The prices were reasonable for the amount of food so I thought it was a good spot. They have a good bit of parking. I like the place as a new place to try.

You know I love Mexican food...and I love great Indian food. Both cuisines are full of flavor and culture. These guys fused the two together? WTF? It's amazing! I had a Tiki chicken burrito on their lunch menu. Affordable at $12.00 and it filled me up. I have to head back and try the enchiladas the guy at the next table was eating ASAP!! I have to admit, I was skeptical at first, but glad I tried it out. Oh...as I say, " if the salsa is good, the Mexican food is good". I wonder if that now applies to Indian food?

I recommend to try this place out. The amount of food is filling . They gave chips and salsa to start us off. The butter chicken is worth to try. It's probably my favorite dish out of all I've tried. Eating the food does get a bit messy. Servicer were super friendly.Overall, I don't have any complaints besides being too full.

Suvu was an excellent server! We got to sit outside. So nice ! The food again was above expectations. I had my usual the mole is exquisite. This time we had taquitos. The spinach snd cheese. Unique in flavors. A little sweetness I can't identify but they blow away the idea of having a meat taquito again. wow!!! Mama Tigre is the only place I have loved the salsa, since leaving my CA. I will only eat the ceviche here. Such a culinary experience every time. Though it was packed to the gills, we were seated in less than the 20 minutes we were told. Surprising how fast we were served fast & accurately. What a well managed restaurant Kudos: Unique fusion, quality food and A+ staff!

FOOD We had their jambalaya, chicken tikka wings, and the masala burrito. The jambalaya was well-spiced, warm, and herby-- overall a great meal for a rainy, cold day. The tikka wings were also well-spiced, although heavier on the cardamom. The cinnamon, paired with the sweetness of the marinade and the chutney, was more sweet than savory. The masala burrito was perhaps our favorite. The spicy tikka masala sauce paired with chicken and vegetables made for a perfect melody of smooth and savory. Would 100% get again when visiting! SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. We ordered carryout via phone and paid in person at the carryout window at the back of the restaurant. It's a little obscure when you're coming in from the front entrance, but it'll be on your right after you head to the back of the restaurant. Online ordering is also available. AMBIANCE The interior is vibrant and lively. The bar seating offers about 10-15 seats, and there are plenty of sections of booth/table seating depending on what you're looking for-- window, booths, large gatherings, etc. The restaurant is a great fit for families, catching up with friends, date night, or carryout. PARKING Ample parking is available in the lot surrounding the store.

The Indian/Mexican flavors are amazing together! They also have a nice amount of vegetarian options that I want to try next time. I really wanted the lamb birria and it was such a good choice. With the added spices it just takes the birria to the next level My husband had the chicken mole which he also enjoyed, but it was so much food we had to take some to go. The chips and salsa they give for free tastes so fresh and flavorful we couldn't stop eating it, but we had to stop because we got the guacamole which was also fresh and yummy. The service was really good, you just flip a card when you need service and they are always walking around so they see it pretty quickly. It was also nice to a big mix of different nationalities enjoying the food. It got pretty packed for lunch so I'm happy we got a seat.

It's a gustative shock! What an amazing fusion, I only ordered to go but the place looks legit. If you are open to new experiences and tastes you wont regret it!

I met a friend here based on her recommendation. It was hard to pick as the as the specials and meal options looked delicious. Our server was helpful explaining options on the menu and the fusion of Indian and Mexican food. The lunch special of fish tacos I got were amazing. My friend got a vegetable burrito. I enjoyed the energy and positive ambiance of the restaurant. I would recommend to anyone in the area.

What a treat. The entire group loved their dishes. The Masala burrito was excellent and huge, definitely enough for two meals. The ceviche appetizer was also great. It was crowded but our server kept things moving so no complaints there. Looking forward to a return trip soon!

A fusion of Mexican and Indian cuisine? This really works as the food here taste great and provide a different take on Mexican cuisine! We've always found great and friendly service here as well. You know this place is great when there's always a long line to eat here. We ordered the following: - Jalapeno Poppers - truth in advertising as menu says it's spicy and waiter confirmed to make sure we knew it was spicy. It was spicy but so very good. - Combo Fajita - ordered with steak & chicken. Portions were huge and you get the option of ordering different type of tortillas (flour, corn). - Jambalaya - absolutely love this version of Jamabalaya! The spices were perfect and we will be ordering this everytime we're here. - Falooda - love this Indian (?) dessert of vanilla, milk, pistachio, almonds and cardamom. We haven't tried everything on the menu but will be coming here on a regular basis to try more dishes.

We went for lunch on our daughter's Birthday party... the food was amazing & the best I have eaten in last few years, the service too is great & friendly Abhishek mangipudy

The food is so so so good! The service was good! The restaurant is beautiful! Did I say that the FOOD IS SO DAM GOOD! I brought my mom for lunch then we came back the next day to meet my brother since he lives right around the corner. I mean yummmm! Thank you!

Definitely busy on a Tuesday! We got the spicy tikka veggie fajita for one and two house margaritas on happy hour. The margarita house mix is extremely sweet but that could just be a preference of mine. Additionally, the specials they promoted online for taco Tuesday were not the same as in person so make sure you check! The veggies were a little undercooked but the spice and taste- amazing. Will definitely be back but may not order the veggie dish again- the good thing is that they have a huge vegetarian menu!

Mama Tigre continues to be a favorite casual Mexican-ish spot in Oakton! I recently tried their tortilla soup and wanted to be sure I add it to my original review - delicious and perfect for these frigid days!

UPDATED review: I ate at the restaurant and it was an amazing experience! The lamb birria was very flavorful and the lamb was very tender. The vegetable fajitas had a great spice level and a great variety of vegetables. The chicken masala chimichanga was amazing. I loved the addition of BBQ sauce. I feel like the portions got even bigger since the last time I was here. I loved the in person service and ambiance.

Food was pretty good, I really liked the enchiladas. Loved the fusion style, just wish it was spicier. The waiters were very friendly and helpful too. Decor is cute!

Love this fusion! Love the vibes and decor is so fun. I was here one time and the place was buzzing on a Tuesday night! Obviously, they figured out something magical. The service was great, no complaints! The food was interesting and I can't wait to go back and try something else.

Great fusion of flavors. This is a wonderful place to try with a lively atmosphere. Service is very good but be mindful they get very busy. They take reservations for certain group sizes on certain days of the week (plan ahead) because they get so busy. We went as a large group so I don't have everyone's dishes here. I tried the cauliflower tacos for something different and found them great. I'm not a vegetarian but thought to try them and glad I did.

While I'm not much of a fan of Mama Tigre's fusion cuisine, I did like having Naan bread instead of tortillas with my chicken fajitas (which were quite tasty, too).
