Taco Mama is a Mexican food cantina with a thoughtfully laid-out menu with build-your-own options on one side and standard specialties on the other. We promise to give you the best in Mexican cuisine with your favorite beer on the side.
We visited Taco Mama in the late morning at one location and again in the late afternoon before getting back in the road to Atlanta. They did not disappoint and had the best service, servers, food, and attitude that made the visits pleasant and refreshing. A top rated establishment with great food.
Great food. It's well priced for how big of portions they give you. I often eat half of the meal for lunch the next day. It’s pretty easy to customize what kind of meal you want. I get a customized shredded chicken quesadilla with several toppings (inside). The service is always excellent, and does a great job. I highly recommend eating at Taco Mama for lunch or dinner. Most importantly, great queso.
I ordered this, and it was awesome. It was a TON of food. This plate had some weight on it! All of the toppings were free. The service was hospitable, which is rare these days if you ask. Money well spent!
If you like a lot of food that tastes great and isn't a huge ding on your wallet, can't go wrong with Taco Mama. We have been to this one and the one in Jones Valley, and both places have amazing staff. The food tastes great and you get a lot. It's not the best Mexican food, but it is very good especially for the cost vs what you get. Highly recommend Taco Mama.
Fantastic! Thanks for the great service, great food, great Margaritas, and the great atmosphere. Your fish tacos are the best I've ever had! And with all your options we'll be back to try everything else. See ya soon!
Hey so, why doesn’t every place nail service like this one does? Food is amazing but the staff is more amazing! Every part from opening the door to anticipating needing a high chair outside for our kiddo. Let me go back and say the food is amazing, the chips Crunch perfectly and the queso is the kind you want to take home and eat more of. The taco crunch also spectacular. Highly recommended and love the variety!
Such a cool place and the staff is amazing! Very very friendly and kept coming by to give napkins and clear our tables. Just amazing service. Food is very good however I was thrown off by the chicken on my salad, it almost looks like fish the way it’s cut and laid on the salad. It was still good though! Chips are thin and crispy which I loved. Margarita was very refreshing for the hot day it was. We absolutely adored Taco Mama!!
First time eating at this place and we absolutely LOVED it! We got steak and barbacoa burrito bowls with so much toppings on it. Chips were thin and light and refreshing with many options of salsa dips that comes with the burrito bowl. Flavors of the meat were so good! Not the typical taco place. Come give it a try!
Great find. Staff is super friendly and helpful. I got the Fatboy burrito and it was great.
louis at the front was super sweet and helpful!! i ll definitely be back
Food and service was good. We enjoyed it. We will come back.
Ordered food for takeout. Tasted amazing, and order was correct and ready on time. Staff was friendly and helpful! Have always had good experiences at Taco Mama, and this location was equally great!
I didn t like my food. Sent it back and they brought me a new plate, I still wasn t pleased. My food was cold. I ll be back bc I love taco mama. Just not to this location
We went there with friends. It was so incredibly loud. We were yelling to be heard. The food was good and so was the service. Do not recommend if you want to have a conversation. Next time we will eat outside.
When I say I love this spot my friends and I LOVE IT. Spencer and his entire crew are amazing. -Tawana
Just take out but great food
Greeted with a smile and a friendly face! Food was fresh and came out fast. This location is consistently good!
I ordered my lunch today and went to pick it up. There was one of my favorite employees Danielle Hamilton there holding my food hostage until I got there. My lunch was fabulous and so was my surprise to see her. Food
Family dinner I love it food wad great place was clean people was friendly food was alot on your playe I had the nochos chicken amazing Parking: This place stays full and they come and go so you will always have a place to park Kid-friendliness: My grandson loves this place
The staff here are amazing. I placed an online order but due to a computer glitch on my end, they didnt receive the order. They were accommodating and were fast in getting my order together.
The food is great and healthy. It will come out very quick after ordering. You get a good amount of food for what you pay for and the customer service is excellent in comparison to anywhere i ve been. You are asking numerous times for refills and if you need anything while you are eating. Everyone is super friendly and I would definitely recommend paying a visit.
We have been regulars for a few years now. Absolutely love the staff and the food! Keep it up guys!
1st time at Taco Mamas and OMG! Whether you live you or just passing through. STOP AT TACO MAMAS- You will not be disappointed. Thanks for an awesome 1st time visit Taco Mamas. You just gained s regular customer Parking: Parking garage is next door! Less than 50nstrps and we were there Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. Flat leveled entry into the building. Wide spaces for wheelchair maneuvers.
I loved their seasonal watermelon margherita and steak sizzler tacos.
All the Taco Mama s are great! Never a let down.
We used this location for a catering order for a business lunch. The service was great, food was amazing, and overall a really good experience!
Taco Mama is ALWAYS the best! From dining in, to calling for take out, the food is always amazing! They let you specialize your dishes, have a great atmosphere with an outdoor patio and just a friendly staff!
Meat in the tacos was good along with the chips and salsa. I didnt care for the side cilantro rice or black beans.
Always a wonderful experience. Thank you for smiles & fresh food!
The layout makes it hard for an old guy like myself to hear well, but the food and the service make up for it.
Love this place! Service is top-notch, food is awesome and the outside seating was beautiful!
Amazing
The place was packed, lots of energy, great food and wonderful service!
The food was brought out very quickly, and the servers were so nice.
Great food, portion sizes and great drinks! Highly recommend.
Everything Ive eaten here is very good. Highly recommend eating here.
Great mid range Mexican or Tex-Mex place. I appreciate that the staff were attentive to allergies and my friends service dog without causing additional fuss. The interior was crowded and noisy so we sat outside, but the weather was perfect for that. Good food, good people, just lacking a couple of basic accessibility Features like an accessible allergy menu online, and making things a little less crowded to make it easier for Kane users and wheelchair users to navigate. They also did not offer any kind of rail or large print menu. That great place. I had enough food to bring my leftovers home for the next day. Dietary restrictions: There is a downloadable allergy menu on their website, however, it was not accessible with my screen reader. Staff are knowledgeable about gluten-free options and took care to make my meal separately from other meals to ensure no cross-contamination. There are lots of gluten-free and dairy free options. I can t speak to soy, or nuts, or how easy it would be to keep shrimp from cross-contamination other items in the store. But I m sure the staff would be able to easily answer your questions. Parking: There is a midsize, free parking garage attached to the store and other businesses. Even at the dinner hour, we were able to find handicap parking right away. I don t know about regular parking spaces, though. Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicap parking at the front of the free parking garage right next to the store, however, you have to cross the exit driveway of the garage to get to the store. Tables and chairs were set a little too closely together to make it comfortable for navigating, but the store itself Has a wheelchair, friendly entrance and restroom.
Their build a taco, burrito, and nachos are amazing. The amount of food they give you is insane. I never can finish. I also order a side of street corn for myself, delicious. I have tried a couple of their drinks, they were all good. You really cant go bad here.
Good tacos. Good margaritas. Good vibes.
Food is decent, I still prefer chipotle. The prices are way too high here. For just a burrito its $16...Need more hot sauces & spices. Nothing is hot enough. Too expensive when chipotle is 5-6 less and better.
Tried this place for the first time. It was lunch time and packed. Young girl at the door was sweet and talked to me while I waited even got me something to drink. I ordered a barbacoa burrito and would give it a 8/10 it should have been hotter so the cheese could actually be melted. If they would have put the burrito on a grill after to also give a crunch it would have been a solid 10. It was juicy but that made the wrap soggy. I would go back though and try something else. Good atmosphere Lots of chips and salsa. Really good price. The Mexican corn was decent.
Great atmosphere, positively superb, the whole enchilada. My server was kind and approachable, I think her name was Slade . Taco mamma you ve done a 10/10 job on the taste and vibe.
Tacos were ok, not great. The worst was the street corn which had way too much salty sauces in it. So much that we could not taste the corn.
Got a 2 taco combo . A softshell fried fish taco and an original hard shell ground beef taco. Fried fish taco lacked in fried fish and was overpowered by the avacado and cream sauce. I also feel it didnt have much slaw on it. The ground beef taco was a little bland lacking in seasoning and not enough lettuce for my liking. Nice thin tortilla chips and the salsa was pretty good tasting fresh. Nice place. Fast friendly service.
Another fav!
This is a must eat whenever Im visiting Huntsville! I get the burrito bowl and it makes 3 meals for me. So good!! The burritos and quesadillas are also our favorites. The fact that you can order whatever toppings you like is so great!
We are always greeted with great service, and they go above and beyond whenever there s a rare instance of a mistake in an order. The food is always good as well.
Great place for tacos and meeting up with friends. A fun place to eat. Unique atmosphere.
Megan,from New Jersey was off the charts fabulous. Friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. She is certainly an asset to your company.
Great food and service!!
The food was not all that great! I ve tasted better tacos and burritos. Overall, this restaurant has a nice convenient location.
Great place to watch the end of the World Cup Final. To say nothing of the yummy food. Always a stop on our Huntsville visits.
Love the skinny margaritas
This was my 1st time visiting. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. My food was AWESOME!!! I ate my food as 2 meals, thats how big the portion was. I will definitely be back and have referred others to this establishment.
Food is yummy and service is unbelievably good!
Great service!! Very fresh and delicious food. Very fast despite how busy they were. My server was AWESOME!
Delicious food, friendly staff, with great indoor and outdoor tables. Right next door to Publix so you can do your grocery run after a yummy meal -- so you dont buy too much cuz youre hungry, lol! Dietary restrictions: They offer GF corn tortillas!
Usually a big fan of the restaurant and never really had a terrible experience. However, I did discover hair in my food and it did leave me a bit disappointed.
Had A great time getting to know the staff while enjoying some skinny margheritas!
Taco Mama rocks! Fresh food and made to order delicious margaritas...need I say more? Also, Im the only plant based eater in my family and we were all marvelously stuffed leaving. Even tried talking to the hubby into opening up our own Taco Mama in our town! Lol
Great food, always fast! Only complaint is the overly attentive staff can get a little overwhelming. Every time I ve been here for lunch I am approached a minimum of 5 times at my table by an employee asking if I need anything. I get they re trying to be nice and do their job but it feels very excessive when I m trying to enjoy a quiet lunch. If I wanted that attentive of service I would go to a restaurant with table service and not fast casual but I appreciate the thought behind it
Amazing! Fresh food in generous portions. Great staff who are super friendly and helpful!
Good food!
Always on point!
Absolutely the best
The food is amazing and the employees are incredibly kind and always have a smile on their face!
Excellent as always, Taco Mama did not fail to deliver. I got their Taco Basket with the Sizzler Taco and the Mama s Chorizo taco, with Quedo as my side of choice. Food was out within only minutes of ordering and everything was fresh and hot. The chorizo taco is full of flavor and the sizzler s steak was good and was tender enough to be bitten apart unlike most steak I ve had at other Mexican restaurants. My only complaint is the size of the hard tacos which ends up with you getting almost half the amount of filling as its soft-taco counterpart.
The food was great, service is awesome, the only down side is the place gets packed quickly around lunch time.
Take out, good food
Love the self good, always fresh, dogs can join you outside if the weather is nice.
Better than all the birmingham locations
This taco mama has indoor and outdoor seating and the staff are always very friendly and attentive. The weather was perfect today so we got an outside table. The road is lightly trafficked which made it quite pleasant. Sitting indoors can be a bit loud when busy, but still worth the experience.
Good tacos for Taco Tuesday The rice had no flavor. Needed salt and lime... Food
Food was good enough but the cheese wasnt melted at all. Just a thrown together soft taco. The restaurant is popular though just not my cup of tea
Incredible staff Quick food Delicious Food : 5/5
Great food and customer service!! I will be a repeat customer! Thank you Megan! :)
Nice place. Could be more meat in the tacos!
Great food.. crazy busy
Vegetarian options: Jorge Nachos with Veggie Mix is served up perfectly every time thanks to Mrs. Debbie Hosmer. Ace Team Member.
Outstanding service! My company had a catering order for 40 people from another restaurant fall through due to car issues with the delivery driver, and Taco Mama came in to save the day with a super quick turn around! I called hoping they could throw something together and they ended up going above and beyond and having a 40-person taco bar ready to pick up in less than 30 minutes. Thank you Taco Mama.
Loved loved loved this place!!! It was sooooo good definitely will be going back again
Super delish! Huge portions, awesome staff! Great place!!
Awesome as always
I got two tacos and my partner had a burrito. My tacos were okay, a bit unflavored. I soaked them in hot sauce to make up for it. My partners burrito was horrid though, flavorless and falling apart. It was a destroyed soggy mess. But the service was so amazing, everyone is so nice and the food comes out very quick!
Good but not outstanding.
Everything was great!
Great tacos and quick service!
Delicious food and drinks. Service is always wonderful. Offers outdoor seating
Parking: Any close parking is reserved for Publix customers, and they were empty. Food
Awesome
Taco mama is the best in Alabama.
Top notch white people Mexican
Absolute dog food that make me ill.
Classic Mexican American foods with wide selection of margaritas
Portions were big and was really happy to have vegan protein!
Always a great experience and the food is on point!!!
Great food and friendly staff.
Pretty good, with large portions. Thumbs up! Vegetarian options: Tofu and veggie only options Food : 5/5 |
Always a great experiance at every Taco Mama I go to! Vegetarian options: I get the tofu burrito or salad and choose all the veggies I want to add. I thought for the longest the guac was dairy free but its not so I just add avacado. Food : 5/5 |
Taco Mama was on point. So nice and left with food. Watermelon margaritas
Good food
Delicious food. Staff is helpful and pleasant.
Fast large portions.
Spontaneously found this place on a whim visiting someone in the Huntsville Hospital and I m so glad we stopped in. We were starving and couldn t have been more satisfied with the food. Massive portions at a great price with tasty margaritas and a trendy atmosphere. If we are ever back in the area, we will be coming back and will recommend to anyone we know visiting. Special shout out to Sway for her friendly service and hospitality
Thoughtful and attentive.
Fast and friendly. A bit short of being a Mexican experience.
Have to come here for the queso and chips! They also provide Millitary/Veterans discounts big win for this restaurant!
My favorite thing is the build your own bowl with all the toppings you want! I get the steak for meat and try the cilantro lime vinaigrette with it! And I load it up with the extra toppings.
Tacos are great.
Taco Mama has an exceptional varied menu of delicious entrees.
Good prices, fresh food and lots of it. Can t go wrong with Taco Mama!
Confusing place. No one and no signs saying to take a seat or wait to be seated or how to place an order. You pay for your food before you get it AND its not cool that you are expected to pay the tip before you are serviced. Food was brought to the table very quickly (less than 5 mins) after it was ordered and was room temperature. The cheese dip was as thin as water & taste like it had soap or some type of chemical that didnt belong in it. There were no eating utensils, no napkins and no drinks brought to table. When asked where our water was the man pointed at the place where you get sodas. Four employees standing behind and beside counter socializing with each other. No one came and asked how the food was. Had to get up and go ask for a to go box and stood there for a long time at the counter and was completely ignored by the 4 employees standing around socializing with each other. I finally interrupted them and asked for the to go box. EXPENSIVE for what you get. I wont be back.
Very good service and really great food
We love Taco Mama. Nothing beats the Big Client. The barbacoa is top notch.
Had a lunch meeting there today. The service was kind and patient. Sat outside and the attendant was kind enough to clear our dishes. Ill go back here when Im in the area again. Food
Food was great not enough seating the staff tried their best to accommodate but the location is just small for the lunch traffic in downtown with the hospital and Publix all the construction going on around. Overall great food longer than wanted standing in line to order. Wheelchair accessibility: Not very wheelchair accessible to order in my opinion but Im not in a wheelchair so I cant really say.
They know how to cook!
Food was great, service was very attentive. Vegetarian options: Tofu quesedilla was great Food : 5/5 |
Fantastic place. Food was so good and the amount you get is alot.
OMG that was delicious & Ill be back again with a friend
Perfect place to grab some Tex mex! I always build my own salad here, and I m never disappointed. Fresh ingredients and big portion sizes. Their tofu is marinated perfectly and absolutely DELICIOUS - well worth a try even if you re not a vegetarian! Their barbacoa is delicious too!
Taco mama is always good!!!
Very bland
First time I ever went my chips were insanely stale. I let it go. My 2nd time which was tonight my tacos were insanely dry and there was almost no meat. To top it off my queso was half hard. Manager was sweet and had it fixed. Then I decide to order a burrito for my dad. I asked for the bbq sauce to be on the side not on the burrito and put queso on the burrito. Neither was done. The ONLY reason I put 2 stars instead of one is because that manager has amazing customer service. But I wasn t about to go back a 3rd time to have them fix my dads order
This place always delivers excellent food with great customer service. Elijah and Debbie are my favorite Managers. They always treat me like VIP no matter how busy it is.
Great food great service
Lovely experience after walking around downtown. Not a far walk to Taco Mama. Good food, good service.
Friendly staff
Hard to beat the simplicity of tacos. The Mexican Mac and cheese was the star of the show
Always good food at Taco Mama
This was my first experience at this location. I love Taco Mama and was so pleased when I moved jobs and found that this location was only a mile away! So yummy, fresh and the portion never disappoints! I posted a picture of my box, someone took the time to draw a cute little PacMan game on the front! Made my day!
Had a lunch for an office. Ordered by phone . It was ready on time . Very friendly and helpful. Will use again.
The food we had was good. And the Margarita was good to. Would go back and try other stuff.
The drinks are great!!!!!
The servers were great, the lady who took order was cool. The employees work there are really good. Loved the place, food and services.
Really good food options with generous servings of tasty food.
Everything was good. Except the Mexican macaroni and cheese nothing really made it Mexican . I should make someone bring me up there for you to taste. And it was dry. Mexican corn was good Mexican corn from the food truck better. Is Palmagranite Margarita was one of the best Ive ever had.
Man oh man want here with my sister for lunch and it was amazing. The service couldnt have been better, the food was truly amazing. This place you gotta go. I highly reccomend everyone trying this place. The burritos are big, and full of greatness and so flavorful. Parking: Park in parking garage Wheelchair accessibility: Yes its accessibility.
Great food! Great drinks. Jalapeño margaritas are the best! Great staff. Food : 5/5
Great food and service!
Im gong veggie and low carb.. I got the salad with guac, hot peppers, cheddar, onions, pico, and this sriracha ranch.. it was fantastic..
Very fresh food! Quick service for a large party.
Confusing menu. Very salty. Helpful staff.
This place was really good. Staff was very professional, alot of foot traffic in and out so dont sit close to the door. Will be back for sure
Not bad !
Great portions, great service, and great mixed drinks.
Tasty burritos and margs.
A great place to get in and get out or sit and enjoy your company. Food is so good
