“ Our second visit with family who are regulars. Food is amazing and service as well. ”
“ I love AUTHENTIC Mexican food and a lot of Tyler's "Mexican food" Chuy's, Javi's, Mercados etc.. don't even compare to Momma Olivio's. The food here was AMAZING and would highly recommend to anyone I know. For an appetizer we got the bread and queso which was really good! And for dinner Pozole and a beer with chamoy and spices on the rim which was some of the best Pozole ive ever had from a restaurant! So not only was the food good but the service was really good as well! Our waitress was super friendly and was asking about my kids and it was over all a really good experience. ”
“ Mama Olivo has the very best beef fajitas and chips and hot sauceso tender and juicy with homemade corn tortillasI’ve never had bad service either and the prices are very reasonable as well! ”
“ If you're looking for a fancy dining experience, this is not the place. Mama Olivo is an old-fashioned Mexican restaurant that serves up incredible dishes. If you want authentic, delicious, mouth-watering Menudo & Pozole or a host of other dishes cooked up by the Mexican staff, you'll have to drop in. You dont have to speak Spanish but this is the place to practice up if you're a little rusty. Show up hungry. ”
“ This place was such a pleasant surprise for us. The breakfast plate was loaded with eggs bacon and all the fixings prepared as requested. The shrimp cocktail was full of all the good stuff! The pazole was like the best homemade I have ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant ”
