Restaurant Mamacita

First off, I want to say that the woman who served us and I spoke with about this issue was amazing and I’m sorry I didn’t get her name. She took the time to listen and didn’t just brush off our concerns. I’m sure if you bring this up with the staff she’ll immediately remember. Second, the food itself was amazing, and if it hadn’t been for this issue I would be writing a 5. Now, the issue. I myself use cast iron frequently, so it is very easy for me to recognize. Most of what I use is also enameled, so it’s also easy to recognize that. I know as well that part of using enameled cast iron is to stop using it immediately for food when it starts to chip as the enamel is a type of glass coating and once it starts to chip, the glass is able to transfer into the food. When I asked the woman who served us white the dish was specifically, she was not sure but said she would ask, which she did. When she informed me the answer she was told it was simply iron, which is impossibly because there wouldn’t be the type of coating there was on this dish if it was simply cast iron. It is more than slightly concerning that the restaurant is using dishes that could be putting pieces of glass into the customers food and is no longer food safe. It is also concerning that the person that was asked did not know the proper answer, because it’s impossible the dish could’ve simply been cast iron without a coating.

We’ve been several times and it’s always delicious. Tasty and fresh. Efficient service. A strong wine and cocktail list. Wish the jackfruit tacos would be available year round!

Best Mexican food I have had anywhere in Europe. As an American living in Europe I am always on the lookout for good authentic Mexican and my enchilada tasted exactly like I know from the US and Mexico. The Margaritas are great as well. We walked in on a busy Saturday and the manager found us a table without a reservation. The servers were great and there was live entertainment with a gentleman playing guitar and singing Mexican music. I only wish I didn't live three hours away or this would be my regular spot. Highly recommend.

Definitely make a reservation because this place will be packed!! Food was delicious, one of the best tacos I've ever had. The service people are friendly and nice and giving customers overall the best dining experience. It was very loud so it was kind of hard to have conversations at the table, consider getting a seat at the terrace instead!

The food and service is very good. For me, the music was little loud. The quantity was good and drinks too. I loved some special Mexican beer, its a must try. There are little vegetarian options, but they are nice to customise the recipe. Loved it overall, will come again for sure.

I’ve been a loyal customer for 6 years, but recently it feels like a new manager reviewed the restaurant purely through an efficiency and profitability lens, ignoring customer experience. • Shrimp dishes removed from the menu • Fresh vegetables replaced with ready-to-use sauces • Pink margarita removed; no real mexican cocktail variety anymore • Quesadillas noticeably smaller than before I understand cost optimization, but these changes removed what made the place special for me: Mexican specials, freshness, and a wide margarita selection. There was also a heavy smell at the entrance but I think it might be temporary. As a result, I’ve started looking for another Mexican restaurant that still values the full experience.

I tried the nachos, the dorados tacos and the mango chili margarita. The nachos were loaded with toppings, they are really the perfect comfort food after a long day. The margarita was also delicious with an excellent balance between the sweet mango and spicy chili. The tacos were good, but not spectacular. However, their hot sauces are fantastic with a nice strong kick. The place overall has a cool vibe, though it's a bit crammed. The service was okay but the waiter was trying to get rid of us quickly to accommodate a reservation coming after us (fair enough, but the next party hadn't arrived yet...). All in all, I would recommend giving it a try.

I’ve been coming to Mamacita for years mainly for the spicy mango jalapeño margarita — hands down one of the best cocktails in Luxembourg. I’ve recommended it to countless people and even hosted my company Christmas party here because of how much I loved it. The food is good, but that margarita was truly special and what made Mamacita stand out. I was really disappointed to learn it’s been removed from the menu. I tried several other drinks instead, but unfortunately none came close (especially the grapefruit one which was awful). I’m not into frozen or overly sweet cocktails, and it seems both non-frozen spicy margaritas are now gone. I completely understand menu changes, but some of the replacements feel like a step down — even a friend mentioned her favourite corn dip has disappeared too. One small additional note: the music was quite loud and very constant throughout the evening. The live performances are great, but having them from time to time (with quieter moments in between) would make it much easier to talk and enjoy the evening, especially for groups. Please consider bringing back the spicy mango jalapeño margarita — it was a signature drink and a real reason to keep coming back.
