About Fat Mama's Tamales

Fat Mama's Tamales is a lively spot for lunch with a diverse menu. Guests can enjoy dishes like tamales, tacos, and nachos on the patio. The tamales are now highly praised, with customers noting them as possibly the best they've ever had, featuring plenty of meat. The nachos and tacos remain delicious, and the blended mango and strawberry "Knock You Naked" margaritas are perfect for hot days. The service is excellent, with staff being fast, friendly, and welcoming. Though the restaurant can get a little hot, the atmosphere is clean and fun. Customers often appreciate the great food, and it's noted that the tamales are hot and well-seasoned upon delivery. It's important to request a sauce, such as salsa or cheese, since none are offered automatically. Fat Mama's Tamales is also pet-friendly, making it a cute little gem that provides tasty food and quick, polite service.

This place is amazing. Food and service are equally amazing. My wife and I camp in Meadville (we live in the Baton Rouge area) twice a year to getaway and drive 45 minutes out of our way just to go to Fat Mama's. They never disappoint.

First things first — we love Fat Mama’s. I mean it. We could eat there every single day and be perfectly happy with the taste of the foods on the menu. The food is always flavorful, the new menu additions are phenomenal, and the staff is consistently kind, helpful, and quick to fix any hiccups. We’re huge fans over here — big hearts and even bigger appetites!

That said… can we talk meat portions for a second?

We ordered carne asada tacos and a pulled pork...read full review

3 of us ordered. I ordered taco soup came out looking like chili and tasting like can chili mixed with corn. Friend had nachos - meat was over cooked. Other friend had Cuban sandwich and pickles burned her throat

We come to Natchez twice a year and this is the worst meal we have ever eaten.
