Mama's Cocina Latina

"Hit Mama’s in Midtown at any hour (it’s 24/7) for casual Tex-Mex that’s a Mt. Everest-size step above your usual steak quesadilla order from that late-night fast food chain with the annoying sauce packets. They’ve got a big menu from fried chicken tacos and fajitas to solidly-stuffed burritos—and a quesadilla with steak that tastes like it actually sizzled on a grilled just before it landed in your tortilla. If breakfast at 4am is more your style, get one of their breakfast tacos (the chorizo egg hits the spot) or a huevos rancheros platter." - juli horsford, jacinta howard

"Mama’s Cocina Latina on Piedmont Road in the Piedmont Heights neighborhood serves a mix of comfort foods and familiar Mexican dishes like tortas, tacos, burritos, and tostadas. Grab late-night hot wings, fajitas for one, two, or three people, or a grande dinner platter with two enchiladas, a taco, rice, and beans. The platter is hovers around $10. For breakfast, try the huevos rancheros or Mama’s breakfast with scrambled eggs, pancakes, and bacon. There’s also a drive-thru window open 24/7." - Beth McKibben, Eater Staff

For breakfast, try the huevos rancheros or Mama’s breakfast with scrambled eggs, pancakes, and bacon." - Eater Staff

"We love Mama’s because we can get solid tacos 24 hours a day, almost every day of the week (they’re closed Sunday). The place is always packed in the wee hours of the morning when hungry ATLiens descend on this Tex-Mex spot in Midtown for grub to soak up the night’s alcohol intake. And DDs should take advantage of their drive-thru since it'll allow them to feed their annoyingly loud friends without prolonging the night. But for the rest of us, there are tables and booths inside, an expansive and newly updated patio, and a salsa bar that make this a great hangout zone to devour protein options like tasty shredded chicken, fried fish, and tender carnitas all served in flour tortillas.

"Open Until: 24 hours (closed Sundays) The 24-hour Mama’s in Midtown will make you question why you ever waited in the long-ass Taco Bell drive-thru line at 2am for soggy, tasteless tacos. Hit Mama’s at any hour, every night except Mondays and keep the good times rolling with a margarita pitcher or a few beers. General Tex-Mex is on the table—from fried chicken tacos and steak fajitas to solidly-stuffed burritos. If breakfast at 4am is more your style, they’ve got that too, with a variety of breakfast tacos (the chorizo egg hits the spot) and huevos rancheros platters. There’s always a crowd here after midnight, so if the inside is packed, hit the salsa bar and take your food to the patio. " - juli horsford, nina reeder
