Mamasita

Always good food and atmosphere here. I hadn't been for a couple of years. Got straight in, used to have to wait in a big line for a space

I frequently dine at Mamasita but just had my first time booking experience with you and it was very bad.

I booked a table for 2 for dinner st 6pm on 3rd Oct. We realised we would be 10 mins late when it’s 5.45pm. My first reaction was to call 9650 3821. However this number is not reachable after 5pm and we were not sure what to do. I called this number a couple of times and definitely only got voice message. At the end I wasn’t sure I should still go to the restaurant for dinner or just go home.

At 6.12pm I missed a ‘No Call ID’ call and there is no voice message left. Of course I couldn’t call back as there is no call ID. Then I received an email saying Mamasita canceled my booking.

I made this booking for my mother’s visit and Mamasita is not the only restaurant I booked. However it is definitely the worst customer service I received regarding booking.

Mamasita is very famous for its food but with a terrible customer service I would have a second think about coming back here again.

Hope you can improve your table booking system and don’t disappoint other future customer service.

Fine dining Mexican but they try to kick you out fast to make way for new tables, not impressed when you’re paying a lot of money

Disappointed. I've heard great things about this place. Also that it's affordable (it's not). I've just travelled from Brisbane to Melbourne and this is the most expensive restaurant I've eaten at (and I've eaten at a lot of nice restaurants in Australia). Bottom line is, it's over rated.

Menu change and perhaps change of chef - not great anymore. Wasn't a fan of any of the food and way too much salt.
Margaritas were still great.
I haven't been in over a year until this week so was surprised to see you can now make bookings.
Won't be returning

Always fave. The food are amazing, $ is good and worth it, and so cozy place.
Don't miss to try corn alajero and tacos lengua.

Typical Melbourne to find a small hidey hole & make it a hit. I love the food at this place. So tasty. The areas a bit small so you really need to be patient & enjoy lining up. Prices are a tad expensive for the product ($6.50 for one for cob) but it's a great night out for a special night.

Absolutely fantastic, I went here with two South American friends and the food was sensational. The crispy fish taco was incredible

We went on a Friday night and the restaurant was really busy consistently throughout the evening. This meant the drinks service was really slow but surprisingly the food service was not. We had 10 dishes for $69 which was amazing, a taste of a good variety. Plus one lady in our group can't have shell fish so they adjusted our 10 dishes accordingly. Great evening, nice decor, lovely food & cool cocktails.

Review is based on the mamasita truck at the Melbourne show.

The crumbed fish taco with squid ink mayo and dragonfruit was really nice. The soft shelled taco went perfectly with the crispy fish. The dragonfruit added a nice refreshing touch.

Was a tad pricey but that's expected for food at the Melbourne show

Highly recommended! Excellent food, service and drinks! I especially loved the lengua tacos, sope and mole rojo and how the waitress walked us through the menu and available pairing options. Besides the food, the highlight of the night was the mandarin margarita. I will be definitely going back for one of those!

The food was very nice and we had a great night. We were the first customers in at 5pm and we watched the place fill up quickly - this is always a good sign.

The service was a bit slow and it was not very easy to get a drink. The waitresses seemed rushed yet they were lovely and tried to be as attentive as they could. Our main course was delayed but they communicated this to us. We appreciated them letting us know.

I loved everything expect the Rockling Ceviche. My favourite was the stuffed chili (this was a special for the night). You also have to try the chargrilled corn - it was really good.

The atmosphere was good and we left satisfied. I'd definitely return.

It was very nice Mexican food, in a nice setting with friendly staff, but I didn't help feel it was a bit over priced compared to other similar venues in Melbourne.

One of my family favourite. Food always so good! Menu changes everyone and then but great food and drinks. Very accommodating for kids too.

First time to Mamasita - arrived just after 5 with no reservation to score a table for dinner and pleased we did because the place filled up quickly. Service was great - our server was happy to help us choose and didn't rush us out when we had finished/were deciding if we wanted to eat more. The quesadillas were my personal favourite. The food was good, flavours were delicious but just felt it was a little bit pricey.

Great mexican food and delicious drinks! The only downside is - if you don't book, expect to sit on one of the cramped and tiny bar stools. They really pack you like sardines on those bars!
