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 southwestern potato — one of our new go-to meals. One of my tacos had literally one tiny piece of meat in it. And the pulled pork? Maybe two forkfuls. Total. That’s a problem when you’re feeding carnivores who basically live for protein.
Now hear me out — I totally understand that the price of goods has gone up. People want quality but don’t always want to pay what it costs. I get that better than most, trust me. And I don’t mind paying extra. I really don’t. What I do mind is not being told ahead of time.
If portions are going to be light — especially on the meat — just tell me! I’ll gladly order extra. I’m not complaining about the cost; I’m asking for transparency so I can plan accordingly. A simple heads-up like, “Hey, this taco only comes with a small amount of meat,” or “The pulled pork is more of a topping than a full serving,” would go a long way.
Again — I love y’all. The food is delicious, and the experience is usually great. This is just me asking for a little straight talk when it comes to meat portions so we can keep satisfied and full. 💕

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.

Great Atmosphere and Excellent Tamales! Everyone was so nice at Fat Mama's Tamales "Knock You Naked" Margaritas! Definitely recommend them! Margaritas and Tamales! You can not go wrong.

We were so looking foward eating here after we read some good reviews, sadly we were not impressed by the food, guacamole tasteless, beef tacos also nothing to get excited about, and overpriced, would not go back. Service waa good though so the 3 stars.

Tamales were delicious, hot when delivered meat was well seasoned. When ordering make sure to request a sauce either salsa or cheese none is offered when ordering. After eating multiples they do become dry. Service was polite and extremely fast.

Eclectic places. Food was nice, but a little spicy! Go for the chicken tacos in corn shells, they were the best!

Mama doesn't know how to cook. The service and atmosphere were great. But the food was lacking. We had tacos, tamales, and bondin. The tacos were almost passable, but everything else was yuck. Sorry for the review, but Mama doesn't know how to cook.
