   Was looking for a good Mexican spot while visiting Olive Branch. After seeing the reviews, thought we'd give Mama Rosa a try. Doesn't look like a Mexican spot from the outside. It's in a small shopping center and very bright on the inside. Upon entering, very modern and cute decor. The hostess was super sweet and immediately got us sat. Somehow we didn't get any silverware (just menus) but we were able to ask for it later. Our server was Kira. Friendly, gave wonderful recommendations and constantly checked on us throughout the evening. We decided on two of her food recommendations and then Rosita for cocktails. We also did queso. Our queso actually came out a bit cold and wasn't completely melted but she immediately took it back and it came out hot the next time. Our dishes were amazing! The shrimp were big, fresh and the cheese they use is different than other restaurants. The only thing I'd change is charging guests for chips and salsa and then for queso. We ordered chips and queso (no salsa) so it should have only been one charge. Granted it's only an additional 2 dollars so we didn't mention but was just weird to have two separate charges for that. We would definitely come back as the food was amazing, service was good and the staff was super welcoming!

   Had dinner here with my son and daughter, and it was such a vibe! He got the Quesa-Birria and said it was next-level. The meat was super tender and crazy flavorful—had to be good because when I looked back, his plate was spotless. I went with the carnitas tacos and rice, and let me tell you, that special sauce on the tacos? Absolute fire. It took the whole dish to another level. The real star of the night, though, was the Reposado Tequila Espresso Martini. It didn’t have that overpowering espresso flavor some martinis do—just smooth, balanced, and so good. I’m already planning to bring my mom back next week. This spot is officially on my list!

   The cocktails are overpriced. I was charged 12 for a lemon drop with no liquor and extra 8 for the Tito’s. I was charged 20 for a lemon drop. There was hair on the tortilla chip, the manager was too busy to come by the table and discuss. A manager never came to the table.

   Great good and environment. Not crazy about the drink prices. I paid 21.00 for a drink full of ice in a small glass, and I didn't feel anything. Great taste, though.

   This place is a welcome change to the dozens of other Mexican restaurants in the area. The food is fantastic and the service is incredible. It’s great for a special occasion or date night. Definitely recommend it.

    Our waitress had a bad attitude with me and my date. Very concerning being it was my second time there.
