Mama Mexicana

We enjoyed a burrito, nachos with guacamole and pulled pork tacos. The corn tortillas are the best I have had in Joburg, and the flavours are delicious. It was a quiet lunch, and the owner, Jillian, was very kind and accomodating. The chocolate cake and ice cream was a nice touch for pudding. We will go back!

Service was great. The restaurant has a homey feel. I had the chicken burrito. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either. The best part of my meal was the guac. I found the portion was also quite small considering the price. Person I was having lunch with had the beef tacos so I had one off her plate. Those were horrible. The taco shell tasted, for lack of a better word, funny and the beef was not shredded, just cubed so it was really tough. We both hated the tacos, I would not recommend. It was not a complete waste of money but I do not see myself going back.

The food is very delicious, chilled vibes. The decor and music makes the whole dining experience awesome. The host is very welcoming and attentive. It would've been 5 stars if not for the premixed cocktails but if you don't mind those, this is definitely the place to go.

It's a couzy little place, neat and clean. The food was great generous portions. Waitress was friendly. Couldn't stay long cause of the loadshedding schedule and they didn't have a generator.

Will go back for the full experience.

Loved the ambience, that wasn't too aggressive with the Mexican theme; and the indoor seating was surprisingly cool for as hot a day as it was.
The burritos are definitely "authentic and delicious", as advertised. Service was great and the quesadillas had some of the tenderest chicken I've had in a while.
Hope to visit again.

Wow wow wow - A small restaurant with great food lovely waiters and an amazing owner. Was a drive to get there but was so worth it. Every dish was delish and well priced. The corn bread is a must try. Highly recommended if you enjoy Mexican. We had Sunday Lunch here which is a good time to go as the street is quite vibey with a market going on
