If you can get out of work early on a Friday, this place is a fun spot to sit and throw back a few margaritas and enjoy some good, tattooed atmosphere. The food is nothing to write home about. As for the staff, I've had waitresses buy me a couple of rounds on the house and I've had some really distant ones as well. I guess it's a crap shoot. The front desk staff seem to try hard to get you in as fast as they can and I've never had to wait for more than a half of an hour. If you are looking for a fun place to start the night and have a bit of patience, this is a fun spot that I would recommend.

Just an incredible old-time Seattle fixture. Good food, funky atmosphere, decent location (if you don't mind the street people), and always a good time to be had here. Great place to go with your friends, especially if you're in your 20s or early 30s. Not so family friendly - more geared towards those who want cheap, good, accessible food and who are on their feet walking or bussing it. Parking can be a hassle down there, and forget getting a stroller in there. Excellent place to start your night out for cheap, with good, hearty, yummy, real Mexican food.

Mama's is FUN! The atmosphere is certainly unique for a Mexican restaurant, never more apparent than when you're sitting in the Elvis room. The food is decent - maybe not fabulous, but the basics are here and them do them well. This is a popular lunch spot for the Bell Town office crowd, so allow enough time and enjoy!

My boyfriend and I like the vegetarian enchilada, but with such famously large portions we’ve learned to split one rather than take our leftovers home for later; the lettuce and sour cream don’t reheat well. The food is flavorful and satisfying, and one whole room of the restaurant is devoted to Elvis.

For some reason, it is very difficult for me to write more than a couple sentences about a Mexican food restaurant. Unless it's something like Rosa's Mexicana, I feel like there is very little to distinguish one from the other. Except here, I will say, the food was really very good. For those Mexican food purists out there, they have plenty of authentic items on the menu. The prices were good, as was the service. We ended up getting sat in a sort of back room, which was less than ideal. But it was a Friday night, and I left Mama's happy to know there is at least one place I can get some really good Mexican food, regardless of what I order.

Located in Bell Town, this Mexican eatery boasts a very relaxed environment, friendly staff, and delicious food! Was here recently for lunch with a group of 15. They sat us promptly, and took great care of us. It wasn't the typical experience where you sacrifice service due to the large group. All orders were perfect, the food was wonderful, and the margaritas were flowing (I promise, this has little to do with my recommendation). I've been for dinner a few times, as well, and had similar experiences. Great, attentive service and excellent food. My favorite is the "Elvis Presley" - a carne asada burrito with their homemade "Ranch" sauce.

this is one of the cutest, most colorful places i have ever eaten. they have very friendly staff, cool artwork adorns all of the walls. the prices are very reasonable. if you are a vegetarian, as i am they have many vegetarian items, and as they told me, anything on the menu can be converted to a vegetarian feast.
