I dig the vibe, the people, and the food. Drinks were okay which is why it only gets 4 stars. And of course I feel whack for going to Mexican food outside of the mission, but this place is worth it. Pros: The green stuff is super good. Cons: Far drive from the mission.

I made a reservation I WEEK ahead for a friend and me. We arrived 5 minutes early for our 8pm reservation - we waited 50 minutes for our table! (Meanwhile there was one 2-top and two 4-top tables empty the entire length of our wait). UNACCEPTABLE. The bar was so packed we absolutely had no chance to grab a drink (4-5 people deep) while we waited. ?on a positive note, by the time we finally were able sit, our waitress was a wonderful and the food was VERY good. NB: I had walked in a few weeks prior without a reservation and had a shorter wait. Go figure. Pros: Excellent food!! Cons: Reservations don't really mean anything - you wait an hour for your table regardless

this isn't your typical burrito joint. this is a new age mexican place, and i think it gets better each time i go. it's a bit pricey for what you get, but the food quality and originality are great. when i go for a restaurant experience, i want something i cant make at home. the ahi tuna tacos are great, as well as the queso. they do twists, with a tapa style, to standard fare and it's a fresh change. atmosphere is fun too, just a casual place. Pros: original variations of mexican fare. every dish is very good and unique Cons: prices a bit high, but i'll pay up for quality anytime.

Okay - so this is my first review of a place, and I never go out of my way to say anything about a restaurant unless I have such an unpleasant experience that it ruins my evening. I have been visiting Mamacita's restaurant since it first opened and have always enjoyed the great food and vibrant atmosphere. However, I must agree with several other reviewers that as the restaurant has become more popular, the service, and attention to that "friendly, neighborhood atmosphere" has gone south. With my parents in town for the holidays, I decided to take them there, after convincing them what a great place it was. We were told that the wait would be about 20 minutes, 30 minutes at the most. At about 30 minutes in, I asked the hostess where we stood and she said we were next. At 40 minutes, I politely asked again, highlighting that we were told it would be 30 minutes at the most and seeing about 3 or 4 other parties get seated ahead of us. At that point, the hostess very rudely said it had been only 30 minutes since we were logged in to her seating chart (which is irrelevant since I know we had been there 40 minutes) and basically made it seem as if we were lying about how long we'd been there. I was shocked at the treatment and actually asked for a comment card (which they don't have) so that I point this out. The bottom line is that this place continues to have great food but the service can either be good or terrible. Our server was fantastic, charming and took good care of us, but the hostess experience had already put a taint on the overall dinner experience. I hope that they pay more attention to how the host / hostess treats their patrons as it was very disappointing to have been coming there for years and be treated this way. I can no longer recommend this restaurant as a "go to" place for great Mexican food unless folks also have an appetite for poor service.

While visiting San Francisco we decided to try out Mamacitias because we had heard some of the hype about it, and we ended up having the best restaurant experience of our lives! The hostess that we made reservations with was polite, and managed to squeeze in our reservation even though we only called a day ahead. When we arrived early there was already a line out the door, so we waited in the cute bar area. We were very promptly seated by our reservation time by another very gracious hostess. Our waitress suggested the heirloom tomato salad that was in season, and it was the treat of a lifetime! The simple salad was just exploding with sweet tomato goodness that i'm still craving now that I'm home a week later! We also got an order of the guacamole (yum!), chile relleno, beef tacos, and a ceviche. Everything was amazing beyond belief! This was by far the best restaurant we have visited in at least 4 years! Pros: very cute and trendy, inexpensive, great staff, heirloom tomato salad! Cons: none
