Three stars is generous for this place. The food is so bland, a microwave dinner has more flavor. The service was good, the aqua fresca was good, but thats it. This food tastes like it was made for an old folks home. The salsa is basically tomato soup, there are no recognizable tomatoes onions or cilantro in it. The chips should be good, they look legit, but are so hard I thought I bit into a rock at one point. The beef again has zero flavor and the tortillas hardly had any sign of being warmed in a pan or however its done, it was like a packaged mission tortilla. The rice had no taste at all! It was like uncle bens from the microwave, but worse. The refried beans were sub par. I ate here with 4 other people and nobody finished their food, which is unusual for this group. This isn’t a trash review, I just think this is the worst Mexican restaurant in Tyler, there are so many options that are miles ahead of this place, Taco Bell tastes better than mama o’s! Get it together guys!!

This place was such a pleasant surprise for us. The breakfast plate was loaded with eggs bacon and all the fixings prepared as requested. The shrimp cocktail was full of all the good stuff! The pazole was like the best homemade I have ever had. I highly recommend this

We went on a Saturday night and there weren't a lot of people. The enchiladas and fajitas were very good. Sauces were all good. Friendly wait staff. Prices were fair.

The food was delicious, but service could approve. It's a restaurant where you have to seat yourself, so it's not a good idea to go with a large group after church.
