Ordered three tacos, and six tamales, and two “Knock You Naked Margarita’s”. $40 !Tacos were mediocre at best, salsa was the worst I have ever eaten, “Pace is better “! Tamales tasted like you just opened a can from the grocery store, and served them up. “Knock You Naked Off Margarita’s” didn’t even knock my left shoe off.Won’t be back, and can’t recommend.

Delicious food that we enjoyed on the patio. Service was friendly, efficient and quick. Portion sizes were perfect…we had the tamales, tacos and nachos. No complaints and we’d definitely come back!

Yall, it's in the name. You would expect fabulous tamales, but you won't get fabulous tamales. You will get dry and bland tamales served with an equally bland chili sauce. The nachos are top notch. The tacos are also very good. Beware the corn bread, it's just weird. Great service, clean

Can’t rate much. The four of us walked in waited several min at the counter. The women behind the counter kept her back to us on the phone would not turn around. No way she didn’t see or hear us. We sat ourself since she never acknowledged us. After Several min at the table someone else standing and waiting with her back still turned. She finally turned around so we asked about ordering but then realized not worth begging to pay to eat there so we walked out

Terrible margaritas, terrible food everything tastes frozen and microwaved. The girls working can't really be bothered, it feels very self serve. I would expect this place to be on the beach somewhere with a large walkup garage door open to kids wanting cheap greasy food and booze... Ambiance is weird for the location to say the least., and very stark

Tonight is a sad evening. It is my last night in Natchez, Mississippi. But, I made it so much more enjoyable when I found Fat Mama's Tamales on South Canal Street. Their tamales are by far the best I have ever had! Natchez always makes me happy. There is just something about this town. Full of history and great people and the staff at Fat Mama's were so nice and friendly.Really enjoyed the Cuban Sandwich, but will definitely go back for the tamales and the chili. If you get the homemade chips salt them liberally - they are good. I'm saving some for the drive home. ?Great place to relax and watch traffic go by. If ever in the neighborhood take a seat on the patio and order up some of the best tamales ever.

Never been here before, heard good comments on it. Walk in and are told sir where you want, then come up and order. Said can we sit at the bar, she seemed pissed she was going to have to work. Then asked for what wine they had, the other woman working there said I'm not dealing with this and walked off. Asked for water and she just put two cups in front of us. Once again never been here before, she pointed to the soda machine. Very rude service. Tamales were dry and could hear the microwave beep when they were prepared. Roast beef Poboy super dry and meat tasted old. They make you pay before getting your food, I understand why. Save your money, Thursday night 11/30/2023 place was empty, now I know why. Horrible.
