Reviews For Yo Mommas Cantina

I absolutely love this place! My husband and I went in the first time for a late lunch/early dinner. It was wonderful! I’m not a huge eater, so I loved the fact that I could just order a couple of tacos or individual items without having to order a huge meal that would end up with me having to throw so much food away. But honestly, my FAVORITE part of the meal is always the mild salsa they make! Several years ago, something happened to my mouth that caused me to not tolerate even the mildest spices - which stinks because I was raised in Texas on spicy Tex-Mex and LOVED it! It’s become hard to find a salsa that’s delicious and flavorful but not spicy - but this place HAS IT! I’ve been back several times just to buy a pint of the salsa - I can eat it with a spoon, it’s that good. And really, that describes all their food. It’s just yummy. I highly recommend!!

Not only was the food so excellent but the staff was as well! They kindly walked me to my table and gave me one of the best chips and salsa I’ve had at any restaurant!!! Whilst munching I enjoyed amazing music that beat the stereotypically annoying pop that most restaurants provide. Overall such an amazing time (I had the DAB burrito which was so amazing) and will definitely make the trip back here!!!

This place is delicious!! Kayla was our server and she was awesome! It was packed and she did a great job. I got the chili relleno and it was very good. The serving sizes were generous and the half off margaritas for happy hour are a steal. Loved the additional flavors and ability to get a watermelon house margarita. The kids meals are great too and we had plenty left over so very filling.

Review for My Mom’s Kitchen - Aurora, CO This spot is pure fire! The quesadillas are melt-in-your-mouth good, and the margaritas? Absolute perfection. Add in the smooth, attentive service, and you’ve got a vibe you don’t want to miss. Treat yourself—you deserve it! Best pork green chilli in town. Slap yo mama!!!

My husband and I have had lunch here multiple times now. The food here hits the spot and my favorites are the pozole and the beet and radish tacos(all their tacos are delicious). SO GOOD!!! If you haven't checked them out yet please do! Support our local businesses!

Great place for modern Mexican Food in Aurora Colorado. Was impressed with the ambiance and decor themed more or less Dia De Los Muertos. The food was good. Service by Kayla was amazing and the margaritas were amazing see below the food ratings Chips and Salsa Queso Flautas Birria Taco Carnitas Taco Tres Leches Cake Margarita

The atmosphere and food were very pleasant. The white wings were so amazing and full of flavor. Very clever creation and one I will think of often. The tacos were also very delicious. The place was clean and appealing. Will come back for sure.

This place was a massive improvement over the seafood restaurant it replaced. Out waitress, Kayla, was friendly and helpful. Our orders came out at a good pace, without feeling rushed or slow. The margaritas were good and were a great value during happy hour. We had the white wings for appetizers, a variety of tacos for our meal (liked the cornmeal breading of the crispy chicken taco the best), and tres leches cake for desert. They were all good quality and tasted good. I highly recommend the white wings.
