Mamasita

In an increasingly more educated culture, inspired by foreign travel and the experience of fast and fresh international staple foods, Mamasita is the forward thinking answer to the emerging popularity and awareness of authentic Mexican food and beverage. Currently, the perception of Mexican cuisine is shifting rapidly in Australia. Lovers of a real Mexican taco or tostada are no longer satisfied with the typical Americanized offerings that dominate the Australian dining scene, and crave the flavours they experienced on their last visit to Mexico or the USA. With that fact in mind, coupled with the ever-growing interest in the fascinating world of quality tequila, Mamasita offers  only the best aspects of an authentic taqueria, while showcasing the enormous variety of tequila on the market. Mamasita presents its food in a professional, creative and eco-friendly fashion, all the while remaining true to traditional cooking methods and flavours.
