This place has been on my list for a long time. I was excited to finally get to stop and try it out. When I walked in, I was amazed at the atmosphere and how well decorated this location is we were greeted by a warm and welcoming staff member who took us to our table and promptly asked for our drink order, the chips and salsa were brought out which I must add. The salsa was delicious, but perhaps needed just a little salt since there was no salt or pepper on the table speaking of things on the table this restaurant offers a bottle of hand sanitizer which I noticed was at every table. I thought that was a very unique gesture, which are utilized. We ordered steak fajitas and a picture of lime margaritas on the rocks. Both came out quickly. The margaritas were delicious and the steak fajitas were extraordinary. They even came with a sauce or juice like substance that I gladly poured over my fajitas which only increased the taste and juiciness, the staff continue to check on us throughout our visit making sure that we had everything we needed. I found this to be a wonderful experience and so glad that I finally had an opportunity to stop. We were informed that there’s already a location in Birmingham and another location that will be open soon in Pelham. I look forward to the day when we can return and have another wonderful meal. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is in the area looking for authentic Mexican cuisine.

Love Mama Cocos food!! but you need to know what not to order. Get spinach queso instead of queso. It is thick and creamy with corn and spinach. Regular queso is thin and very disappointing. Skip the Mexican guacamole ( usually my favorite dish) because it is mostly pico de Gallo and very little avocado. Every main dish we've gotten has been really good. Street corn is amazing!! Great Texas and Coconut Margaritas. A pitcher costs the same as two large drinks so it's a better deal if you have several people ordering margaritas. Ask if the flan is fresh. If so, it is the best flan you'll ever eat. Once it sits for a day or two, not so much. Service could be better- seems to be hit or miss based on the server. The menu is very extensive with lots of vegetarian options and unusual items you won't find at many other Mexican restaurants. We pass two other Mexican restaurants to eat here. Give it a try! 🌶️ Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

I ate at this spot with my sister. I really loved the spacious parking, attentive hosts and the selection of food and fast service. However my order was correct but it didn’t taste good to me- I will return but next time I’ll try something different Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
My wife and I first started eating at Mama Cocos Cantina in January of '21 and eighteen months later we keep going back. This place has become one of our favorite places to eat and there's more reasons than I can list as to why. But I will mention a few highlights: great food, great service, awesome atmosphere and an overwhelming list of choices on their menu that are all outstanding 👌. A few personal favorites are the Mexican Spaghetti, the Street Tacos, the Grande Burrito and the Mama's Dip as an appetizer. As long as Mama Cocos Cantina is still around, I know that great food is just a short drive away (we live in Columbiana). We are huge fans!!! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–10
We travel country FULL-TIME in RV & LOVED this amazing "HIDDEN GEM" This is a WONDERFUL new take for EXCELLENT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD! BUT we also ADORED THE SIMPLE BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK & STYLE OF THIS VERY COMFORTABLE RESTAURANT!! WE ARE FROM Houston, TX & are just passing thru the area... But we were thrilled to find Mexican food that was not TEX-MEX.... but was FANTASTIC!! We enjoyed the street tacos & the Tortilla Soup was HEARTY & FILLING... BROTH WAS OUTSTANDING If u are ever near Calera, Alabama & DONT take the opportunity to check this restaurant out, then all I can say is: "BLESS YOUR HEART ❤️!!! LOL Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Steak Street Tacos
Best Mexican food in town! It's so flavorful, and doesn't taste like every other Mexican restaurant. Great ambiance, customer service, and fast service. A++ Highly recommend the Chile San Pedro!

I am not really a fan of Mexican food. But their tacos, sausage soup, and rice are truly delicious! Their chips and salsa taste great too. Definitely recommend this place to anyone!
I like this restaurant because it makes you feel like you are in the city and not a little town like Calera (don’t get me wrong, I love my town). The food is good, so are the drinks. Their service is great as well. I highly recommend Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
