Mamacita Mexican Restaurant - Apex — Restaurant in Apex

First time here but it wont be the last. The food was excellent. The staff and servers were exceptionally friendly. Fun colorful decor and a variety of options on the menu. Oh, and robots!

The cocktail menu offers margaritas, signature drinks, beer, and wine. I tried the Tentacion Margarita, with reposado tequila, orange liquor, fresh lime, and hibiscus syrup. It was as pretty as it was tasty and was garnished with a candied hibiscus flower.

The menu has appetizers, a variety of nachos, enchiladas,burritos, quesadillas, fajitas,tacos, and a number of chicken, steak, seafood, and vegetarian entrees. I had the spinach and chicken enchiladas. 3 tortillas filled with chicken and spinach topped with a roasted poblano sauce, sour cream, and queso fresco. The sauce was delicious and made the whole dish. The enchiladas were good sized and full of quality chicken and spinach. The spinach didnt add much since the sauce was the star of the show for me. The person I was with got the steak fajitas. It was a large portion size. The steak wasnt slices of meat and was more like small bits of hamburger resembling a chili. It came on a bed of grilled onions and peppers. On another plate was cheese,guacamole, beans, sour cream, and rice. We had to ask for anther plate to enable the ingredients in the tortillas to eat.

Complimentary chips and salsa were served. The entrees are brought out by a robot with a cat face that “talks”, “Sings” and plays music. A server accompanies the robot and actually serves the food. I’m not at all sure what the idea behind the robots are other than a novelty gimmick. For me it kind of took away from the experience and didn’t think they were...

Today I tried Mamacita for the first and last time. With the robot server getting loud reviews from the mnay children I would rate this place no better than chucky cheese. The music was obnoxiously loud but it did cover up the crying and screaming from a 14 month old that never stopped from start to finish. Can the establishment be faulted for this of course not the food is what helped me rate them so poorly, any food truck on Rt 55 would have been a better choice and even the presentation would have been better. My date had shrimp tacos (maybe 3 cut up into small pieces). that were soggy and tasteless garnished with a radish instead of stated lettuce. Maybe the ride on the server robot to deliver food to another table before coming to us might have been a factor in part of this rating, I don't like the thought of my food stopping off at another table while waiting to be served to me. Now to my meal steak tacos, dried out chewy meat that was in a warming dish for most of 9its long life. It had as much taste as the spanish rice with crunchy green beans and corn. I am sure the refried beans were added to the plate for color as they had no flavor. I gave them a one because they attempted to fix the problem but it came with a follow up fail. The replacement taco was just as bad only colder. Only plus was it was delivered by a person and not the robot kitty cat. This surely is not a...

Walked in and was greeted by a nice relaxing atmosphere. Was seated and placed our drink orders. Our waitress must have had a bad day of was new but she was throwing the vibes off majorly. We had to ask for a specialty drink menu as there was not one on our table. We ordered our drinks and was ready to order our food. The waitress takes our drink order and wonders off to behind the bar. And sits and waits for our drinks to be made. Brings them back and walks off again comes back 5-10 minutes later and finally takes our food order. We placed our order and our food came out first of all I'm highly upset that on the children's menu chicken TENDERS were listed. And we received janky NUGGETS (6) and a BUNCH of fries. Our quese birria tacos were fantastic and so we're the alcoholic beverages although they were just a tad bit pricey for not a lot of alcohol I had the coconut drink and my husband had the whiskey. Which was the rip off drink. The atmosphere changed heavily when more people arrived. The music got way louder than what it needed to be and the waitress and waiters seemed to be a bit rushed like they had never handled anything like that before. Food was good but probably won't be back. For 2 adults and (1) 3 y/o was around $75 not...
