Mamacita

Mamacita brings a splash of modern Mexican energy to North Raleigh from its corner at Dunn Road and Falls of Neuse. Guests settle into a lively, full-service dining room framed by polished wood accents and a glowing bar, with a team that keeps the pace upbeat without losing the personal touch.

The kitchen leans into bold flavors, from birria-filled enchiladas to the signature molcajete especial steaming with rib-eye, chicken, shrimp, tomatillo sauce, and queso fresco. Crowd-pleasers like fajitas tropicales arriving in a pineapple boat, seasonal guacamole, and street corn keep the table passing plates, while seafood lovers gravitate toward camarones zarandeados and salmon zarandeado.

A dedicated cocktail program pairs top-shelf tequilas with fresh citrus for margaritas and tropical sippers, backed by a full mixed-beverage license. Weekend brunch adds chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and steak-and-egg platters, making it easy to turn a late morning into a fiesta. Guests can also lean on the restaurant’s in-house ordering platform for pickup or delivery when the craving hits at home.
