We were looking for something fresh and tasty at 9.00 pm on a Friday night. We were delighted with what we found at Mamasita on Collins Street. Amazing food, excellent service and a busy loud happy environment. Super clean and high quality. It’s not cheap, - it is excellent… and excellence is not cheap!!

Beautiful food and a very aesthetic restaurant. Our waitress was lovely! I’m gluten free and dairy free, and all the dishes were happily altered so I could share plates with the table. Fantastic food and service, will definitely be back Blue Eyed Crudo Tostadas taste amazing! Mamasita Margarita was a classic marg with a fruity twist, so yum!

Excellent niche restaurant up one flight of candlelit stairs (so classy). The atmosphere is fun, clean and well appointed. The Location is stellar, situated within walking distance of The Botanical Gardens, Fitzroy Gardens, Treasury Pl, the Theatre District, all the great fancy stores, beautiful hotels. The service was tremendous. Our server, and I am sorry I didn't remember his name, was perfect. He helped me pick out a vegetarian meal - taquitos I think. I have been here before and had the Mexican street corn which was heavenly. I thank him for letting me branch out and try something different. He was so nice. So efficient. Such a good worker. My husband had a big slab of pork belly which he was very happy with. We arrived without booking and had to sit at the bar, which was comfortable and we were made to feel most welcome. The stairs are steep with little candles on each tread, and there are railings but i don't think there are any lifts. I'm old and stairs are hard for me, but I managed and will return. In March, actually :) I didn't see any toilets but they may have been downstairs . When we left, we had a very enjoyable stroll to the Athenaeum Theatre to see our show. Below, I added pictures of our meals, the Botanical gardens, the Sofitel lobby and a view from the terrible seats we had at the Athenaeum :-)

Had a lovely lunch here with seat next to the window. Standouts were the tuna tostadas and the cheesecake Also had the beef brisket, elote, ceviche which were great. Pickled veg was a bit spicy, not quite as good as the rest.

We were looking for dinner in the city without booking at around 8 pm and decided to walk in to see if we can a table. About 5 minutes wait for the staff to clean and reset a table. Very friendly service! Beautiful Mexican food with super yummy cocktails! We had Mamasita margarita and Fuego margarita and and they were delicious! We had a couple of small dishes of guacamole and pickles vegetables to shared. Then I had a piece of scallop, pork belly tacos, and bay bug tostadas. While my husband had sweet potato tacos and chilli cheese flautas. We really loved the food and it was actually fullfilling, we were too full to have dessert after all these foods. 😂 The sorbete de primavera was a great cocktail to finish the meal!
