Mamasita's Mexican Grill

Okay, if you haven’t been to Mamasitas Mexican Grill in Odessa yet, you’re missing out! Right off the bat they bring you chicharrones with your chips and salsa, and honestly the chicharrones alone are worth the visit — absolutely outstanding. The chips and salsa were great too, but those chicharrones? Chef’s kiss. I started with a frozen house margarita. This really hit the spot, great flavor with decent tequila punch. For dinner I went with the two beef enchiladas with red sauce and wow, you can just taste that the sauce is made fresh from real chile pods. No shortcuts here — just rich, authentic flavor that hits different from anything out of a can or jar. Then there were the beef tacos, and here’s the thing that really got me — Mamasitas fries their corn tortillas in-house. Seriously, every Mexican restaurant should be doing this! The flavor and crunch are on a whole other level compared to what most places serve. Oh, and don’t sleep on the Mexican rice either. Super flavorful and the perfect side to tie the whole meal together. Service was also great during a busy Friday evening. Bottom line — Mamasitas is doing it right. Fresh ingredients, real flavors, and those little homemade touches that make a big difference. I highly recommend it, you won’t be disappointed!

Came to Odessa for a Wedding, looked Up restaurant and this one had good reviews, so we decided to try it. This was the best decision we made, their food was delicious, service was wonderful and the margarita did not disappoint! Will definitely be coming back!

My husband and I tried this place for his birthday this past Sunday on recommendation from family. It was great! They were very nice and outgoing at the door, and sat us quickly. Our server was a sweet blonde girl, I can’t remember her name. She was very quick and made sure we had everything we needed. We were a little worried the food would take a while because of a large party they had sat in the front, but it came out fast! Great job all around, and whoever makes those sopapillas needs a raise!

I’m just a little disappointed that no discounts or portion sizes sales for Biatric patients.. but anything else good For Chandler Az

Best mexican food i have had in Odessa and Midland. Highly recommend the beef tips under the Mamasita favorites menu. I almost wanted to lick the plate. Perfect amount of heat to it as well.

Food was great, service was great, we didn't have to wait too long for anything and staff was very sweet. Atmosphere was very nice, place was super clean. 10/10 Will definitely come back for family dinner again

Food was ok and service was ok. Price seemed a little out of line. On the higher side for average food. Seems like they went overboard on the whole covid price increase.

We were on a quest to find good Mexican food while traveling through Texas and after a failed attempt, we had a wonderful meal at Mamcita's Mexican Grill. Hubby ordered and thoroughly enjoyed Erika's Flautas. It came with an appetizer of a quesadilla and guacamole. The main included four chicken flautas, refried beans and rice. He ate the flour tortillas from my shrimp fajita meal. Hubby told me that the beans were delicious and that the chicken was well seasoned. I ordered the shrimp and vegetable fajitas. The sizzling skillet came wih shrimp, peppers, onions, carrots and zucchini. The meal was made with more oil than I use at home but it was a really nice meal. I ordered a Skinny Margarita, of which I saw when when i looked at the online menu. The manager came to our table and informed us that it was no longer available. She suggested a tequila based coctail which had Topo Chico, tequila and something else that I can't remember, and a salted rim. I can say that the drink wasn't the best that I've had but I appreciated the managers attempt to give me something on the "skinnier" side. It was the last night of our vacation and I wanted a cocktail. The ambiance was nice. We felt really comfortable, our server was attentive yet not intrusive. The walls had neat murals. And the wait wasn't long at all. Overall this was a good dining experience and I would recommend it to someone riding through Odessa.

Food is fresh, plated well, portioned correctly...and delicious. Service was efficient and constant. Premises from parking lot to restaurant and bathrooms...spotless and constantly being worked (you'll see). Great find. Looking forward to returning.

This place is always busy, but the service and food is always top-notch. I highly recommend the burrito Mamasita.

Food was good. Salsa was the best part. I'd skip the margaritas. Would go back. It was pretty packed for a Thursday night.

Meat is bland. Not as good as it used to be. Doesn't seem to be as much and prices are higher

I was in town for an overnight trip and wanted some good west Texas Mexican food. This place hit the mark, with soothing Mexican music and a friendly staff that was very attentive, I had a great lunch. Attend with chips and a spicy only mildly chunky salsa and the Chile con Queso with mild diced jalapeño and onion based pico de gallo. Mmmmm I had the Tacos Al Carbon and the steak was diced lean and cooked just right. Fresh cilantro and onions finished these street style tacos. Well done!

Best Mexican food in Odessa, no question. They treat you like family here, welcomed with some salsa and a bowl of chicharrones. Many of their entrees come with extras like guacamole and a cheese chalupa Their mi general plate is delicious, as is their chicken tampiquena and their green chili chicken enchiladas. Honestly nothing I've ever gotten here has been bad. Plus their house margarita's are excellent and you won't regret getting them.

I love their chili rellenos. If we happen to be in town when they are open it's our go to for good food. They stay busy but they are always friendly and willing give you good service. My sister is the one that showed me this restaurant and I'm glad she did!!

Came for lunch. Quick to sit but we were pretty early. Around 11:15 is when we walked in. As soon as you sit, chips and salsa are served. The salsa is delicious. Not too spicy but not too mild either. I ordered the Beef Fajita plate with all the sides. Sides include beans, rice, guacamole & pico de gallo. Beans tasted super authentic. Rice was good along with the fajitas. Overall my experience here was excellent. The ambiance is a busy one during lunch so get there a little early or a little after the lunch rush. I've came here a few times and it's always been the same, good food and great service. The staff here is great. Waitresses are sweet. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to try good food and enjoy a pleasant experience. Will def keep coming back.

It was great, the food was good. The service was amazing and fast. Beware the red sauce is very spicy, still enjoyed it but boy it had me sweating lol. Only thing that kept me from giving them 5 stars was that they don't have carne asada tacos on the menu. Besides that GREAT!

VERY good food! Service was GREAT as well!! I will definitely be back!! Authentic Mexican food for sure!! Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic place for Tex-Mex every time I visit west Texas. The portions are huge and the sauces are amazing.

The wait time for a party of 5 was less than 15 minutes for a packed house on a Friday night, which is excellent! Food was hot and delicious and the service was fantastic. Staff is very attentive. And the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming! It was definitely worth the visit!We will be eating here more often!

Christine gave us awesome service. Food was delicious. Clean dining room. All around great experience. Price was appropriate.

Service was fast and efficient. We just pulled into town and based on previous reviews we decided to give it a try. Salsa with chips was spicy just like I like it. I had 2 cheese enchiladas and two tamales with rice and covered in green sauce. It was perfect, just the right amount of cheese, sauce. I had been wanting tamales so tried them and I was glad I did just the right ratio of meat and masa. Hubby had the Mamacita burro and couldn't finish it. Glad we made the stop would definitely come back if ever near Odessa.

I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant! I was in the area visiting a friend and we came here for a quick lunch. I ordered chili rellenos and my friend for chicken quesadillas. The food was EXCELLENT! The chili's were very spicy but it was worth it. Our server was attentive, kind and our food came out to us quickly and it was very hot. They do give you pork skins and chips and salsa when you arrive. The location of the restaurant is easy to get to and there is plenty of parking. It was clean and organized inside and they had delicious tea. Overall it was a great restaurant! I highly recommend!

It is my boyfriends and I favorite place to eat at and my 6 year old loves your cheeseburgers. My mom loves your cheese enchiladas, it is the best Mexican food in odessa.

We went on a Thursday night, they were very busy. The food was fabulous I had the enchiladas plate with jalapeños sauce. The service was very attentive. That ambiance was very loud. Lots of birthdays

This restaurant is in my monthly rotation. The food is always consistently delicious. The fact that they give you pork rinds and tortilla chips with salsa is a game changer. Love the neighbor vibe, reminds me of home cooking. The manager and the wait staff are very attentive and fast. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Overall we had an OK experience. We took the family out for dinner when they came into town. The salsa was super good not too hot not too mild. The food was all really good. Fajitas were super tender. The charro beans were a little on the spicy side for me (I'm a wuss). The only issue we had was when it came to getting to go boxes and paying. Our waitress just abandoned us then. She was standing up at the front doing nothing but we finally had to go up and ask another lady if we could get to go boxes and our check 20 minutes later.

Good food and great service! Atmosphere is nice! We come here every time we are in town!

We've been there several times and enjoy the food. This time not so good. My husband ordered a taco plate, simple enough. He's had it before and enjoyed it this time. I noticed that he was taken the meat out of the taco shell and put it on his plate. and eating the meat and vegetables with the chips that they provide as complementary. He doesn't like to complain, just tries to go with the flow, but I asked him why he wasn't eating his taco shells and they looked extremely greasy. He said that because the taco shells tasted like they had used old grease. He had ordered an additional Tamale to go with the plate the lady was raving about how good the tamales are. She came back and asked if the tamale was good and I told her that he could not eat his taco shells because they tasted like they were old grease. She said I will go ask. She never came back when she walked by our table. I asked her if she had found out what happened to the taco shells if they had used yesterday's taco shells and she didn't even look towards me when she answered was very rude And just said no we don't use yesterday's taco shells we cook fresh ones every day And they're good. The manager never came and checked up on us nothing. So when we were leaving, we went to pay out. The man at the Cash register asked if everything was good. I don't know why he asked because when we told him about the taco shells, he just said well I didn't look at them before they took him back there. He mentioned that the waitress told him about it, but didn't see the taco shells he said. I told him it wasn't like we were lying. I just smiled and took our money and we left.He had a good 35 minutes after we. Told the waitress he could've come to check but didn't care to not even and I'm sorry nothing I think we were treated like we were unimportant. Don't think I'll wanna go back again. I can tolerate bad food, but not bad service

Fajita plate with ranchero beans and rice with guacamole and pico de gallo! Mmmmm I was skeptical, but I'll tell you it was worth it, and they bring you tortilla chips salsa and chicharrones wow wow I loved it! Service is perfect!

As for me and my house we will serve the Lord and eat at Mamasita's afterwards! This was the third or fourth Sunday in a row that we've decided on Mamasita's after Sunday Service. The food and staff are always amazing! If the Lord allows it we'll be back next Sunday!

Finally a Mexican restaurant that has amazing authentic red chili sauce. First time there I just ordered take out but wow! My order even came with chips and salsa. Doing that small gesture was actually what gave them 5 stars. Definitely my place to go for real Mexican food.

It was ok. Not all that the reviews praised about. Crowded but not to long of wait. Nice waitress.

Great service and outstanding food! We love the sopapillas! Always clean and the staff is friendly!

Beef enchiladas were super tasty. My husband had the tamales and said they were really good. Great prices and very friendly wait staff. The restrooms were very clean as was the dining area. We will be back the next time we are in Odesa.

Always excellent service & food. Very clean and welcoming. One of my favorite places to eat at.

Great service! Food was delivered quickly and was terrific. Had doubts about quick service because we were there at the lunch rush but that definitely wasn't an issue

It's a great place to grab some food and drinks. The queso and atmosphere are amazing, and the prices are reasonable. Service is always welcoming and friendly. However, their margaritas are a bit weak, so you might want to try something else.

Very nice little restaurant. Food was wonderful and our waitress was amazing. We will definitely be back.

We were driving through Odessa and looking for a place to eat. We read the reviews and added 15 mins to our trip for our dinner. Well worth it! The service was prompt and very helpful. The dining space clean and spacious. The beans and rice perfect. The enchilada delicious. We also had a burrito, taco enchilada plate. All quickly consumed! Highly recommend!

Stopped in for lunch at 11:15 was seated right away. We ordered a chicken dish and cheese enchiladas. Nothing fancy. The wait for lunch was extremely long. We finally were served about 12:15. At that time the place was packed. It seemed maybe our server forgot about our order as all the other people there were served in a timely manner. When lunch finally arrived the food was ok.

My husband and I went for a date lunch and it was amazing. Everything about it was spectacular. Unique and authentic environment. The entire staff was supreme. All kind, helpful, and happy doing what they are doing. We will be back many times more to come.

Pretty decent place to eat. One of the couple things that made them loose a in my opinion is every time i order fajitas it's just meat and onions. No jalapeños no bell pepper's and when i get the tampica it's over cooked.

Place is always packed which detours us from coming here more often but that's because it's so good. From the fajitas to the combo plates I have never left unsatisfied.

The fresh made chicharron's are fantastic, light and airy! It doesn't matter what you order from the menu, it's ALL good food. I personally love the grilled catfish!! The staff are all fantastic, from the manager to the waitstaff, the atmosphere is filled with laughter, conversations among friends...it's like being at Mamasita's Casa! Keep up the good work y'all and I'll keep introducing my friends to your establishment. ~^..^~

They use recipes from the owners family passed down and from Mexico! Authentic food that is delicious! If you haven't tried it yet you should!

This place is super good and I don't like a lot of Mexican restaurants. My only complaint is i think there's a new cook there so depending who's in the kitchen changes if I like the food the same.

The waitresses are always in top of things. The food is DELICIOUS & fast! Chef's kiss! My husband and I love mamasita's!

The enchiladas and taco combo was great. We were seated quickly. The only complaint I have was not enough parking, had to park across the street

I tried the green enchiladas. They are some of the best I have ever had. Service quick and efficient. Staff friendly and polite . Ambiance is okay. Nice clean building on a busy road.

Excellent service and food. Clean and very fast. Wait staff is very friendly and prompt.

Very stingy with portions!!! Get a smear of beans and 4 tablespoons of rice for a $15 plate order!!! Not worth your money

Good food and service. It is sometimes hard to get a table because they are so busy! Their Pescado Mamacitas (grilled catfish) is very good!

The best thing was that they served chicharrones along with tortilla chips with their salsa. It was the first time I have seen that so big points for them. The chips were light and served hot so another score. We had to wait a little bit for a table because the place isn't big. Service was above average but I can't say that for my chicken fajita salad. The chicken wasn't well seasoned and it was incredibly dry. Service and the chicharrones push from a 2 to a 3 star but not my favorite place in the city.

My husband and I went for lunch/dinner. Mamasita's is usually busy and I have always enjoyed their service. Today was no different. I especially like the cloth napkins which are red this time of year. the wait staff are always fast and professional, my tea/ water was always filled and was asked if I would be interested in dessert, and whether I wanted to have a to-go tea or water. I ordered beef tacos and asked if I could have charro beans instead of refried. Of course you are served a basket of tostada chips, chicharones and salsa. All very good.

2 stars because my server was so sweet! But the food not so much... the queso is basically melted velveeta. The sour cream came out in a packet... I think that was the first red flag for me Chicken has no flavor. Do not order it. Got the taquitos for something quick but they were under cooked and not too delish. The staff were super sweet! But the food ranks pretty poorly.

Excellent service. I ordered the Carne Taco plate. It was delicious and way more than I could eat. I loved the rice and beans as well. Ordered a house version of a Pina Colada and not only did It have a nice presentation, it also tasted great! It was definitely a dessert drink.
