Mama Mexico

2 locations in Manhattan and 1 in New Jersey

Are you looking for a loud, lively scene? Well, vamos a Mama Mexico's! Mama Mexico offers a large selection of Mexican fare, with more than just your standard burrito and taco. However, this place is usually crowded with large parties and a mariachi band with over-sized guitars and sombreros! So, if you're expecting a fine Mexican meal, this might not be the best start. I have sampled many items including various enchiladas which are good, but not mind-blowing. I will, however, rave on and on about the guacamole. It is house-made at your table, which adds to the already chaotic scene, with a mortar and pestle. The creamy avocado is suddenly a memory with the medium blast of heat. It is perfect to wash down with their sangria. Portions are plentiful here and whether the food really wakes up your palette or not, you're pretty much guaranteed to have a great time with friends!
