Love this place so much! Highly recommend the guacamole and the habanero cucumber margarita! Those are staples. The tacos change, but we always find new favorites. Well worth the line at the door in summer! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Beer for Tacos

The staff was exceptional accommodating food allergies, and fickle children. We did wait ~30 min., but their text system was prompt, timing was accurate. Great service and communication from staff members. Overall, great taco experience - get the churros- so tasty!

Visited Mama Lu’s for lunch on a visit to TC. The location is cute and had a nice atmosphere. The staff was friendly from the start and prompt in checking in on us and delivering drinks and food. The queso dip was fantastic and the guacamole was fresh. The margaritas were good & I particularly enjoyed the cucumber habanero margarita - it had just enough spice without being overbearing. However, we were a little disappointed by the tacos. We tried the special (steak), barbacoa, pork belly and shrimp tacos. The ingredients seemed fresh and their presentation was nice, but the overall taste was underwhelming. Overall, the drinks and apps outshined the tacos but we enjoyed our visit Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Guacamole and Chips

Greeted and seated quickly. Simple menu with unique flavor combinations. I ordered three tacos. One Panza, one shrimp and one barbacoa. The shrimp taco is very good, simple and mild. Panza is made with pork belly, sesame and slaw. Fresh flavor but not a fan of the pork belly. This taco had an Asian infused flavor. My favorite of the three was the barbacoa taco. Good spice, tender meat and finished with a little fresh cilantro. Server was friendly and attentive. Don't be afraid to ask questions or make modifications to the tacos. Easy to work with. Great place for an affordable lunch. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Great Tacos
We came here for dinner for our anniversary and were very happy with everything we had. We tried all of the tacos, and thought they were all delicious. We also ordered the guacamole which was great, and I got a shandy which I really enjoyed as well. Would definitely recommend coming here.

Some of the taco flavors didn't work great together. However, the guacamole and the Pollo taco were amazing!! Chips & salsa weren't worth the $5. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Pollo Taco

Decided to give this place a try and it did not disappoint. We got the salsa and queso dip. All were tasty. Then we got a few different style of tacos and the street Corn. The corn was okay. Nothing I was too impressed with. The tacos though.....tasted so much better than I thought they wete going to. They didn't look super impressive, flavor-wise but mmm the were very delicious.

A really hip, fun modern take on tacos! Our favorite part of our meal was the mango margarita, which honestly might have been the best margarita I’ve ever had before! Also really enjoyed the yummy appetizers including street corn, and the Spanish rice. Tacos were good but more standard in my opinion. Regardless definitely worth checking this place out!

The tacos are fantastic. The chips are very good. The drinks are good if you like 'em sweet, but aren't terribly strong. But seriously, these tacos. I had the roasted pork taco and it was perfectly prepared with just enough heat. My fiancèe's potato taco was equally delicious, with a nice smokiness. My mango margaritas was delicious, but I didn't taste the tequila. Same for my fiancèe's cucumber jalapeño one. But seriously, try these tacos.
