Mama Mexicooo!

Mama Mexico is a super fun Mexican restaurant with several locations in Manhattan. The location that I frequent, is at W102 street and Broadway.

What you need to know before you go:

This is not the place to go if you want a nice, quiet dinner. This restaurant is LOUD and can at times be a bit rowdy (some of my friends have had the manager pour tequila in their mouths). If you're looking for a fun, Mexican restaurant with excellent margaritas, this is your place to go!

The prices are not low, but they are also not high. Expect to pay $15-20 for most dishes and $9 for margaritas (unless you want a pitcher which I recommend... $40 for frozen and $45 on the rocks)

When you're there:

The interior of the place is very colorful, and not so "romantic" if you know what I mean. It does not look like a dive Mexican restaurant though, so expect it to look like a nice Mexican restaurant.

There IS a mariachi band, which is GREAT... and loud. Be ready for that one while you are eating.

Also, be ready to have to flag down your waiter. The restaurant is always very busy, so they sometimes get a little overwhelmed. If this is something you can't handle, this isn't the restaurant for you.

I think the food is great. They have a variety of different types and they have an entire section dedicated to you vegetarians out there. There is something for everyone, but like I said before, the prices can add up. I can safely say that if you want to share a dish, the fajitas are big enough for two people.
