Reviews Summary
Mama's Ladas is praised for its uniquely delicious enchiladas, outstanding guacamole, and refreshing sangria, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. While many customers rave about the distinct flavors and quick, friendly service, a few reviewers have expressed disappointment, finding the food to be lackluster and reminiscent of canned ingredients.
"GREAT, cute, perfect little restaurant. It’s also a wine bar!
They offer a Five top and bar style seating and an area for outside tables.nice selection of wine, import, and domestic beer.
They only serve enchiladas. The chicken enchilada is very good and non-spicy the beef enchiladas are more spicy, but not hot spicy. The flavors are amazing.
I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The service was very prompt and cheerful. I got my food exceptionally fast. Also, a very,very clean store.
I think this is a very nice place to eat or get a drink. I won’t be a stranger here. You won’t be disappointed if you stop in and have an enchilada."

"We went here on a recommendation and the food was SO disappointing. I feel bad rating the food 2 stars but the service and atmosphere were good.
Why 2 star food? Tasted like it was all canned ingredients. I love a good-fresh salsa and after one bite of their salsa, I didn't have any more. Tasted like Pace out of a jar with ketchup added and the chips were not great as well.
Okay, free chips and salsa aren't great but we're here for enchiladas and... They were disappointing as well. The enchilada sauce tasted like Old El Paso out of a can.
The one item that was delish was their guacamole, I do recommend that. Service was great and the small restaurant is cozy."
