Taco Mamacita

We came for lunch on the weekend and enjoyed our visit. To start, we ordered the trio (pineapple habenero salsa, mango salsa, and guacamole). The waitress said the habenero salsa was spicy and we were looking forward to the heat but it had none, no spice at all. All were good though! For entrees, we tried several different tacos, one of the salads (mexican chop salad), and plantains. The tacos were pretty good but not wildly better than other taco spots nearby. The sloppy jose was the best! Only complaint is that we ordered the enchilada tacos but the waitress brought a full enchilada entrees. Otherwise service and atmosphere were great.

Taco Mamacita was a great find! The Chicken Tinga Bowl was amazing—full of flavor and perfectly done. The prices were very reasonable, and the whole place had a fun, relaxed vibe. Definitely worth coming back!

Super fun little restaurant in Germantown. It was clean, prompt service, and good food. Most of my family had tacos, but I went for the bowl (pictured). Keep in mind that you'll need to order each part of your meal (main dish is separate from sides) and portion sizes are on the small side.

the food was good despite them not having “peruvian chicken” whatever that is as our waitress kept referring to it. cleo became very frazzled and irritated as i asked her if the kitchen was out of chicken completely as if they couldn’t make the grilled chicken with the peruvian sauces instead of the rotisserie chicken it is usually served with. as someone who has lived in peru, it showed the lack of cultural competence amongst staff and wasn’t very accommodating. also this isn’t a lgbtq friendly establishment. my girlfriend and i came after the pride festival and were met with unwelcoming stares from staff here. although the food and drinks were good, it wasn’t a great first experience at this restaurant due to staff and push back when seeking accommodations when ordering.

Some of the best tacos I've had. Had the fish taco and black bean taco. Both were excellent and each only $5, which was phenomenal. Our waitress was very polite and the service was quick.

Nice restaurant with a cool vibe! Tall ceilings give it an open feeling. Very clean. Chips and salsa verde were good. The Verde wasn't great but I'm from California and I'm pretty picky about my flavors. They had 3 other salsas that I didn't try and it may come down to preference. The Chicken tortilla soup came deconstructed and well presented. Good flavor after putting it all together (see photo). The carne asada taco was good. The corn was the tastiest thing I ate. Very flavorful. All in all a good experience. If you're not from California, the flavors may be spot on. For a taco place in Tennessee, it's worth a stop. I would go here again but would probably try some other flavors.

Very tasty southwestern style food. The pineapple habenero, and mango salsa were delicious 😋 I found the spice levels to be low, but I love very spicy. Staff was courteous and friendly.

Had a giant tasty burrito and perfectly spicy iced margarita. Great fresh chips and salsa as well. The mamma sauce is to die for. I would put it on everything

Food was very delicious! I recommend the tacos. All of them. Service was excellent! Patience was our hostess and server and set us up right away. Open air atmosphere and the have our door seating too! Brunch or happy hour ! A must in Nashville!

Skip the chips and salsa and go straight for the main dishes--they're the real star here. My two tacos were amazing! The shrimp and steak were cooked perfectly, super flavorful, and the toppings were fresh and went perfectly with both proteins. I also ordered a side of rice, which was pretty bland though. Honestly, it's kind of wild that they charge for salsa when it's mostly water and barely has any flavor. Both the salsa verde and the regular salsa were disappointing--the verde had no spice at all. The guac was also super watery. The queso was good, but more expensive than other places nearby that serve you more for a smaller price. The vibe of the place is really nice, though. The inside and outside of the restaurant are bright, colorful, and full of fun lighting. Service was solid--lots of check-ins--and our food came out pretty quickly. Overall, it was a good experience, but nothing that blew me away.

This is my 2nd time dining at Taco Mamacita! In between my first time dining until now, I have only done take out. 12/10 takeout: I mean I have never been to a place that takes the time to draw on the bag snd personalize it to each customer! Our service was great, we also ordered the mango salsa to try something new and it was delicious! They did have vegetarian and vegan options which was very nice! We are excited to keep coming back!

TLDR: new menu looks good, the atmosphere is always great and the outdoor seating is bright and airy. Queso and chips were fine. Taco salad was delicious and will help hit your macros. Price is Nashville normal (i.e. more expensive than I want but it is what it is). We've been here before and will definitely be back. Wife and I stopped by for a weekday lunch and were seated immediately. It was pretty quiet and we decided to sit outside, which wasn't too cold with the heater on. Server was new but friendly and our app (chips and queso) and diet cokes came out super quick (and she kept refilling our drinks as soon as we were running out). We both went with the keto taco salads to try them out. A little pricey but comes with half a lb of meat over a romaine base, with pico, radish, cheese, and avocados. Carne asada was super flavorful and the salad was filling. The pollo asada was more disappointing (thankfully I got the carne and my wife got the pollo). My wife also wanted to try the Sloppy Jose, which just wasn't for us; it was too sweet.

Went for lunch. Huge place with plenty of seating and a large patio. Good chips & salsa, solid breakfast tacos, & attentive service. Would like to come back in the evening or on the weekend for drinks and a more festive atmosphere.

Great spot! A little different than your normal Mexican restaurant. I got the Peruvian roasted chicken with sweet potato fries and plantains. Everything was delicious and the chicken came with some great sauces. Awesome atmosphere with an inside/outside bar. My only knock was the service at the outside bar. Forgot 1 of our sides, never got refills, small things like that. Food was so good I'd still recommend trying them out.

Visiting Nashville for work and really wanted so some soup. I tried the Chicken Tortilla Soup with the Shrimp Po Boy taco. The soup was good, the presentation was nice where you pour the broth separately. The taco was ok I'm not a big fan of the fusion taco thing I like good ole meat, onion and cilantro on a corn tortilla. Which they do have but it doesn't come with the soup + taco option. I can around 2pm on a Monday which was pretty slow. We were immediately sat and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. It's an aesthetically pleasing space. Very trendy, bright, colorful atmosphere. As im only in Nashville for work I probably wouldn't come back anytime soon. But it's cute.

My experience is from TOGO. Ordered online and it was smooth process, the site was easy to navigate and did offer Apple Pay which is the best! Walked in and was immediately greeted by a staff member who got my name to check on order. The space is very open with a lot of seating, based in what I saw it would be good for larger parties. Also has patio seating options. I ordered the Sloppy Nachos and Mexican Corn Sloppy Nachos 6/10 I wasn't a huge fan because there was something that made the seasoned meat VERY sweet. I think if it wasn't so sweet I would enjoy it better. Mexican Corn was 9/10 very good the size was small but I really enjoyed it. I will be back up try other options.

The food and atmosphere was great... definitely going back again for the Tacos ..also in fun talking with the bartenders ..

I was interested to see what Mexican food was like in Nashville, coming from California my standards are fairly high. The location was very cute, ample seating and very modern. Our server Alex was extremely attentive and nice! Provided suggestions and made my friends birthday special, got everyone to sing for her! As for the food... maybe my taco selections weren't the best. The birria was lacking meat and not very flavorful. The fish taco was more like a fish stick... very disappointed. The best thing on my plate was the esquite side! So tasty! Also, the mamas hot sauce on the table was AMAZING! I would buy some for my home if I could.

Taco Mamcita's former location was one of my go-to spots for Tex Mex fare. I was very sad when they closed and ecstatic to hear that they reopened. I started with the skinny margarita which was good but had a fairly strong chemical aftertaste, which is uncommon compared to other skinny margaritas I've had at other restaurants. Regardless, it was still good (and I ordered two). For an appetizer, we started with a trio of salsas (fire roasted, fresh mango and diablo). As someone who likes super spicy foods, the diablo was my favorite. However, I appreciated how fresh and flavorful the other two were. We also ordered the white queso, which was delicious -- the perfect combination of rich and creaminess. Moving on to the entree, I ordered the two tacos and a side combo. I'm a vegetarian, so I selected the avocado and black bean tacos. Both were very good. The avocado taco packed a punch with the chipotle honey hot sauce, but it was offset by the cool avocado slices. Those two flavors were elevated by the pico, pickled red onion, and the jalapeno lime aioli. The black bean taco was also delicious. The crispy black bean veggie patty was cut into slices which made for an easier to eat taco. It was supported by avocado, pico, salsa verde, jalapeno lime aioli, feta cheese and cilantro. Those all combined to make a divine taste profile. I don't know which of the two I liked more. I chose the Mexican street corn for my side and it was incredible -- creamy, tangy and packed with flavor. I could have eaten an entire bowl. The service was great, and I really liked the ambiance of the new location. I'm so glad it's back. I look forward to many more visits in the future.

The service was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food. We ordered Chips & Queso and added chorizo, which was excellent. Three of us split this comfortably, and since it was filling enough, I went with the Tacos Authenticos meal. Both were good, but I think the Barbacoa was far superior compared to Mezcal Shrimp. The street corn was also pretty good. Overall: it was a good experience and I would go back if we visit Germantown again. Nothing over-the-top incredible, but a solid taco spot in a very walkable part of Nashville. The server was also very knowledgeable about allergies, and it was very gluten free-friendly

I was looking for a place for dinner during a work trip to Nashville, this place popped up as close to my hotel and I love tacos, so I made my way over. It was packed! Which you love to see, I was lucky to slide up to the bar. I had a delicious avocado jalapeño margarita, a ranch water which is topo Chico tequila and lime. I had the pineapple habanero salsa, the Nashville hot chicken and avocado taco, everything was delicious! I had a great time and would come back here if I'm in the area again. A fun modern twist on Mexican!

Such great food and great value for quality! Our server Kyle was such a great vibe, we're here on a bachelorette trip and she immediately offered to take a pic of us! 10/10 recommend this spot!

Taco mamacita is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants that feel healthier and cleaner! I always get the Peruvian chicken with sweet potatoes and plantains. You get a lot of food for the price and the sauces are the best!

We loveeee the Peruvian roasted chicken and the avocado margarita!! The location has plenty of free parking and the service is always excellent. We had Bianca was a great server and we will definitely be back!!

Good food and drinks! The birria tacos were great and I liked having the choice of two sides. The rice was a little dry but a little hot sauce did the trick. Lots of options to choose from on the menu and definitely innovative for taco offerings. The service was a little slow for a Thursday night but we weren't in any rush.

You have to try the Korean BBQ tacos! They are packed with flavor and incredibly satisfying. I also ordered the black bean taco, which was tasty, but the Korean BBQ tacos stole the show. The staff here is friendly. The interior is tastefully decorated and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience and can't wait to come back for more Korean BBQ tacos!

Taco Mamacita is always an easy Lunch option! It's certainly not my first choice for tacos, but it's decent. Favorite Dishes: Sweet Potato Fries, Queso, Black Bean Taco

Delicious! My husband and I tried several different tacos and enjoyed them all! We especially liked the "birria taco" that you dunk into a bowl of flavorful beef broth. Our service was friendly and efficient.

The tacos are incredible. I'd recommend eating without the consume (Mexican aujus basicly). They are savory enough without it for me and the sauces are so flavorful it can be too much... but that's me. I betcha half the folks would say different. The owner is in the kitchen most all the time. She's so sweet and really gives a sht about her product and customers. I believe ahe honed her culinary skills in NYC. Feel really good about supporting this business. Delicious, unique flavors in an uplifting environment served by a special owner and crew.

Nice restaurant in the heart of Germantown. We were warmly greeted and seated quickly. The atmosphere is inviting and vibrant. Fish taco was too spicy for my liking. Chicken Tinga was very good. For the soup you pour the broth into your bowl.

TM keeps getting better each time we go. Interestingly enough, my favorite taco on the menu is the Tacos Authenticos . Keeping it simple. We order the Chips & Queso and Guacamole each time we go. The Queso is awesome! The guac is good, but I need a little more flavor (could just be a personal preference!). The outdoor bar area is a great vibe, especially now that the weather has warmed up again, and the staff is always friendly and helpful! Worth a shot for sure!

Love this place! Sarah is the best server, we had the best time. So fun and great vibes

First time visiting Nashville, and stumbled across this place on a walk. I only ordered one drink and a side, but Cam and Avery behind the bar were extremely attentive, friendly, and made my experience great! This restaurant is a whole vibe. Travelers from out of the area who find themselves in Nashville: head on over to the Germantown neighborhood and get some food and drinks!

In my opinion the sign of a good Mexican restaurant is a good margarita and Taco Mamacita did not disappoint. At the recommendation of our waiter I had the strawberry margarita and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was tasty too, we tried the queso, it was not too spicy and the chicken quesadilla was yummy! We got there about 5pm for an early dinner but the restaurant was filling up quickly. This is a perfect place to grab food before the Sounds Game and is super close and walkable to everything in Germantown. Also the bathrooms were very nice and clean, which is always appreciated.

Cute and very clean dining area. The chips and dips trio we started with were good as we're the tacos. The shrimp fajitas were pretty meh. The margaritas were a good mix of strong and tasty. Anita was so nice that she made the experience for us.

I ordered the Pozole and was impressed. To maintain freshness, they bring the soup out deconstructed. This allows you to choose which ingredients will be included before you add the broth. The restaurant is spacious and has a great outdoor seating area. The servers were very friendly and knowledgeable about food allergies

Came in on their one year anniversary, so they were offering specials like drink discounts which was fun! Vibe inside the restaurant is cool and plenty of space so we did not have a wait to be seated. Started out with chips and guac, it was fresh which is always a win (no jalapeño though so if you like some spice in your guac it will be mild). Really like how they had combo meals like one taco + a salad which is what we ordered. Cali cobb taco was delicious, but a lot of extra water came out of the taco and saturated the tortilla. Chopped salad was good but not amazing, honey vinaigrette was really light and refreshing. Overall good food and creative menu choices! Would def come back to try more of the specialty menu items.

Food and drinks are so so delicious, but the customer service is amazing. We ordered a to go order and something verrry small was missing. Taco Mamacita went above and beyond to fix such a minor issue, it was so thoughtful and nice. We will be coming back again and again!!

First time being at the new location. Love Germantown. Definitely being your patience because finding street parking is not for the week on a Saturday evening. There are some paid lots close as well. Our waitress Katlyn was very attentive. The place was pretty busy but she kept making sure we were good. The food came out super quick, I also ordered a skinny margarita, it was very good. My husband's a vegan and enjoyed his meal, he mentioned he would have preferred at little more beans and corn on his nachos, other than that he says it was good. He also ordered a side sweet potato fries I ordered the birria tacos and I want disappointed, it was very flavorful. I was sad when it was gone. I will definitely be back. The inside is very different than the old location. New location is brighter. Feels like a totally different experience, one not better than the other.

WOW! The food was amazing, but no match for the incredible service. Came in on a slow Tuesday night with a mild ambiance and our server, Sarah, really made our experience memorable. Every drink, taco, and appetizer she recommended was delicious, and she even added her only special twist (try the Strawberry Margarita spicy - Sarah style!) Sarah recommend the Al Pastor, dorado style, which was a no-brainer. 10/10 experience, will be back.

This is not your traditional taco place. It's a fiesta of taco fusion! If you have a craving for something and you want it wrapped delicately in a tortilla, then you have to sit down at this place. The place feels like you're in ghost restaurant on the 5th floor of a Brooklyn building, but the decor flourishes your appetite. Service was solid and our server was very personal on what tacos and dishes to get. 3 words to sum up this place. Unorthodox, gem, delicious.

Great chorizo queso to start. I'm pregnant so couldn't try the margs, but hear they are great! I tried the quesalada carnitas and was very happy! My friends had the quasalada rancheros and Peruvian chicken and they loved their meals! We all had left overs as portions are large, especially if you have a starter!

I love the ambience the cocktails here are delicious and the food is really good too. When I call this authentic Mexican, not really but you can't deny tasty food. One of my favorite snacks of all time are chips and salsa. So I definitely had to order this for the table. The salsa was super fresh and not too spicy. Really just a tasty bowl of tomatoey flavor. I also ordered two street Carnitas tacos and a spicy margarita. The Carnitas tacos were good. I really enjoyed the tender pork and crunchy fresh onion on top, but within the first bite the tortillas disintegrated and ate the rest of my tacos with a fork. The side of elote was not my fave. Too much juice. I do like the vibe of this place and could see myself eating at the bar on my next visit!

Our waiter, Guy, was amazing! The food was good but not exceptional. The cheese dip was not warm enough so it was clumpy and broke the chips. We tried four different dishes. The Peruvian chicken was the best thing we had. It was moist and tender. The Quesalada Suizas were messy but good-the chicken in them made the dish. The Quesalada Carnitas were fair, nothing special. The tacos were average. The rice was crunchy. The street corn was meh. Overall we thought it was good but we probably won't go again.

Really enjoyed this restaurant! The chorizo dip was really good! I wish it came with a bigger bowl, haha! I will say that I wish it did come out a bit warmer. I also ended up getting the Cali Club and it was SO good! I just wish the dressing was a bit less it only because made it a bit soupy. The setting was super cute! Very much family restaurant by day and a cute bar and dinner for the evening! Service was nice as well.

Our server Sarah did the absolute best job. Highly recommend this place! The tacos were also super tasty and Mary's were unbeatable.

Great place. First time I've been here. I actually was on my way to another restaurant, but I was a little bit too late and it was way too busy so I stopped in here and I'm really glad I did. The tacos are excellent and the service is excellent. Great homemade chips and delicious salsa Verde. The food is hot and what what's your name? What's your name the service is great. Owen, my server was great. Give this man a raise.. Hard to find good service these days.

So ... I really wanted to love the GTown Mamacita but it misses on so many levels (group table consensus) - and this is after taking a "new restaurant" opening learning curve into consideration. A 1.5* overall. We will not be back - I try to be an honest rater and this was just not good or worth it given other options. * ++ service ... this was a positive as all the staff was really trying hard to provide good service. The timing of the food and drink was way off - food came first, drinks 15 minutes later after multiple requests/ but no knocks to staff as it is week one and while frazzled they were hustling to calm the caos. * -- Why they didn't do a soft opening - not sure but the disorganization showed. Soft openings seem to be best practice but what do I know ?? * -- food. Not a new restaurant given other locations but the food was not good Tex Mex or Mexican. Our table of 4 ordered everything from hot tacos to Birra to Taco Royal to Shrimp to Fish. Chips and multi salsa. Just not worth the extra price you normally see - hot not hot, flavors flat. Shrimp taco was tasty. Honestly the free "mamas sauce" in the squeeze bottle was best flavor. * - drinks: no beer yet so no issue cuz just opened. Margaritas $10 crushed ice to top = no ice 3oz margarita. Dissatisfied. * - ambiance. They took lots of time re building the historic fish Mkt. Inside was bright and "cold" - both mental and physical. We sat at front table that was pretty much in waiting area and freezing from open door. The porch out back looks nice for warm days tbd. Best of luck to TM in Germantown.

Wonderful food-- authentic with a little Cuban flair price is right atmosphere sweet I remember when it was on the other side of town ~~bigger building now yet still very quaint

Sarah was the best server! Gave us such great recommendations and was so nice and fun!

When I tell you this food is *IT* I moved to Germantown just under a week ago and have already been here twice. The food is flavorful, unique but also somehow familiar, and portions are generous. The Quesalada Suizas may have changed my life. Probably dramatic, but also very truthful. The rotisserie-style chicken absolutely hits. The seating style is unique with lots of curved booths intertwined and the building itself feels like a converted warehouse which is very industrial-chic. It's an interesting vibe with very cool artwork, too! On both visits, the staff was friendly, informative, attentive and helpful. We brought family by on our second visit and my in-laws, who eat Mexican frequently, were blown away. My father-in-law wanted to know what time they opened in the morning so he could come back my mother-in-law was raving about the flavor of her tacos and also feeling her margarita authentico. They're not inexpensive, but they pack a punch! Both my husband and I love the skinny marg. It's so light and refreshing. A unique margarita flavor but somehow familiar -- almost like Fresca. Noteworthy sides are the charro beans and the street corn. Salsa isn't complimentary here, but the selection of types is cool and the flavors are on point. Our favorites are the mango and fire-roasted. If you couldn't tell by now, we'll be back for a lot of reasons. Do yourself a favor and check out this Germantown gem!

The best tortilla soup ever!!! Service was excellent Patio was great to enjoy the afternoon

I held off on writing my Taco Mamacita review until I had given it a second shot. I went with a group during the first week they opened, and lets just say.. they have fixed the flaws. Opening a restaurant is no joke so when we went on opening week and it wasn't the best, I figured they just needed a second to get on their feet. Taco mamacita offers some fun and creative margaritas. The patio area is very casual and a fun setting- yes dogs are allowed, from what I saw. They have a pretty big bar too. I have to order queso anywhere its offered, its just not an option anymore. Taco Mamacita queso hit the spot! perfectly warm, creamy, and delicious. Their mexican street corn is also a great side to choose. And what is in their hot sauce?? I need a bottle of that stuff. Its slightly spicy and super creamy.

I absolutely love this restaurant. The decor is so cute and they have a great patio space to hang out in when the weather is nice. The nachos are a must try for sure. I need to come back for the margaritas!

Just tried Taco Mamacita for the first time and it was a great experience! My hubby and I were able to stop in for a much needed date night. Our server was Alyssa and she was very knowledgeable of the menu and made it very easy to order. I had the Jerk chicken Taco & one Hot Chicken Taco with Mexican Corn as my side which makes up their 2 Tacos & a side menu item. The food was delicious, and the server was very nice! In my book that is a win-win, so I will definitely return again. You like how I busted that rhyme ;) ?!

Taco Mamacitas is awesome! The service was great! We went on a Monday night and didn't have to wait. They did have the patio open but we sat inside next to the kitchen so we could hear the cooks talking, which was totally fine with me! All of the servers and staff were all super kind to us and to one another so that was nice to see people working well together! I had the Sloppy Jose taco and the Royale Taco with the street corn as my side and they were all very delicious and filling. We also had the queso with chips and they were good! All around, this place is awesome and I will definitely be back for another round!

What a fun and tasty taco place. Arrived here on a Friday about 4:30 and was able to get a table with no delay. Started off with the Mama Mezze a generous offering of chips and 9 sauces. The guac and queso are so good. We enjoyed the sloppy Jose tacos with sides of beans and rice. Generous pour on the tequila in the margaritas. The deco is cheerful and the bar seating large. Service quick, friendly and responsive. Very good visit all around.
