Firstly I love Mamasita and enjoyed every meal I've had there and I'm even pretty patient about the whole queue thing they have going on. Just have to write a quick review though that this Friday night wasn't quite so good.
It started off well with only a few people ahead of us, a warm welcome and a cooler temperature in the restaurant. Apparently they have a new air con unit.
Food was hit and miss sadly although service was as friendly as it always is. The elotes although super tasty as usual; I love the spicy, zingy lime and cheesy flavours were actually cold but I was so hungry I forgave them that and ate it before I considered sending it back! And before I knew it the corn had been eaten and I felt a little disappointed I hadn't been more patient and got a hotter version...
Anyway it was minor flaw and sadly there was another minor flaw coming. The ceviche was too sharp and tasted more of lime than fish.
And then the major flaw; the black pudding taco was horrible and I usually love black pudding. I took one bite and found it over greasy, too squidgy, too fatty and not tasty so I had to leave it. It was not pleasant.
Positive experiences include great venison tostaditas which we'd not had before. The roast potatoes (also a new dish for us) were also great.
If this had been my first Mamasita experience I would wonder what the hype was about. But I know it can be great so I was more disappointed than anything else. I guess much like our Gingerboy experience, it must have been an off day. Unlike our Gingerboy experience I'm prepared to give this place another chance because I've experienced a non off day and I have enough faith that it will be good again...
