“Absolutely the Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 18, 2009

Have recently discovered this gem of a restaurant a couple months ago and have been back three times -- each time has been excellent. Their rolled tacos are phenomenal, and they also have this really great soup broth where the rolled tacos float in it. I can't think of what it's called, but it's great!!!!

REALLY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! And the prices are great, too.

We have been eating at Mama Testa's since it opened about 3 years ago and have taken friends from all over the U.S. Cesar is the owner and he makes it all work. They have dishes from many different regions of Mexico and a great ....real... salsa bar. Simple wonderful food.
