Not the most likely destination to think Mexican (Tia Lou's and Mama's are the 2 I know of in Belltown), but the food was alright. I wouldn't necessarily go there unless I was already in Belltown, but if in the area, it's worth a try. I have heard many people in the past swear by it, but I am not exactly sure why. It would be interesting to get more details on this. So many people have such different ideas of what good Mexican is anyway. I mean, who knew that tortillas, beans, rice and cheese could be so different at so many places? update to this review: never got a chance to write this last week, but I am not sure I would return there. I felt sick the rest of the day (I wrote this review right as soon as I got back). Dropping it down another star due to that unpleasant after experience.

This place is more about kitschy decor then good Mexican food. It is always a fun place to go for margaritas, but I've never had the best service or superb food. The burritos are just like anyone could make at home, the enchiladas were a bit better. The experience is OK over all, but if you are looking for authentic Mexican- this isn't going to do it for you.

Inattentive service; gloppy, tasteless food. Where's the draw?

This may not be the most authentic place to go for Mexican, (it is more tex-mex) but what they serve tastes very good regardless. I have been informed by an expert in these matters though that the pork dishes here are the best to be had in the city. The nachos and salsa are also quite good. Mama's has a somewhat raucous atmosphere which is enhanced during the summer by those drinking out on the patio. Happy hour is indeed very happ here with a long drink list that includes an entire section devoted to tequila. Also, there is a vegetarian section on the menu and overall, prices are reasonable. So next time you are in Belltown, stop by Mama's-you won't be sorry.

I had heard that everything that you get at Mama's Mexican Kitchen comes smoothered in cheese. Those reviews are correct. The food was good and there was lots of it, but it was nothing more than your regular Mexican meal. The decor is funky, bordering on cluttered and dirty. The staff is very friendly though.

Mamas is a popular destination for seattlites to get their mexican food fix. They have great mexican food and very cheap prices. The decor is kinda crazy, but thats what makes this place special. If you are lucky, you might be seated in the elvis pressley room - long live the king. They have outdoor dining in the summer. You best bet is if you have an entertainment book, because Mamas always has a coupon in there!

This place a staple in the area. Always busy and packed. The food is great and the service is good. They will get you whetever you need from chips and salsa to a clean fork with a smile. The food is typical north american mexican, but the ingredients are fresh and therefore taste good. Mostly frequented by younger crowd as its in the yuppy night area of seattle - but ive gone in there alone before when packed and they still serve with a smile.

I moved to Seattle from Texas and this restaurant is the closest thing. Huge helpings and cheesy tacos are complimented by a strangely eclectic decor. Bean Mary salad is delicious and any burrito you get is bigger than your face. They serve great drinks here, the beer selection is relatively small, but they have good choices and the margaritas are far from gross. You won't have room for dessert, but you can satisfy your craving for a Mexican food fix here for sure. The service is usual good, although sometimes they are a little rude if you show up close to closing time. So go early, eat a lot, and then take a nap.

Mama's is a fun and cheap place for the whole family. There is plenty of kitsch to keep young eyes occupied. The service is always fast. The Elvis Room is always a fun place to eat also. As usual the only con is the parking situation in Belltown. Bring on the cheese and margarita!
