" My visit to Mama Tequila was fantastic! The food was fresh and flavorful. I tried the chicken enchiladas, and they were obviously made with love. The server who helped us was super friendly and offered excellent recommendations. I loved the atmosphere and can’t wait to return for another delicious meal. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mama Tequila has quickly become my go-to spot for Mexican food! The birria tacos are a must-try; they are absolutely loaded with flavor and served with a side of freshly made salsa. The atmosphere is energetic, especially during the weekend. The staff is always welcoming and attentive. Having lived in Mexico before, I can say that the authenticity here is impressive. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a taste of Mexico right in Lexington! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit was a mixed bag. On one hand, the environment was inviting and perfect for a celebration; however, the food did not live up to our expectations. We ordered various appetizers and mains, and while everything looked appealing, the taste was just okay. It's a hotspot for parties but I suggest steering clear if you're looking for true authentic flavors. My expectations were high due to the reviews, but I left feeling a bit disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience overall! We celebrated my friend's promotion here. The food was wonderfully seasoned, and the atmosphere was vibrant. The staff genuinely celebrated with us, making the night feel special. We ordered a variety of dishes to share among the table, and everything was divine. I'm already planning our next outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mama Tequila shines as one of the finest places for Mexican cuisine in town! The authentic flavors come through in every bite; the barbacoa tacos transported me straight to Mexico. While it was a bit busy during our visit, the staff made every effort to ensure a pleasant experience. Don't forget to try their house margarita—it's simply the best I’ve had! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, we came in late on a Friday night, and although it was crowded, we felt well attended. The margaritas and the chips were a lovely start to our dinner. For my entrée, the chicken fajitas were sizzling and full of flavor—I can confidently say this is some of the best I've had in a long time. My friends and I left very happy! Thumbs up for the food and service! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great time at Mama Tequila! The staff was incredibly friendly, and the decor is vibrant and fun. I had the shrimp tacos, and they were delightful! I also enjoyed the fresh salsa that came with the chips. The portion sizes were decent, and the drinks were reasonably priced. I will definitely be a returning customer. " (*Curated Review*)
