If you're looking for a fancy dining experience, this is not the place. Mama Olivo is an old-fashioned Mexican restaurant that serves up incredible dishes. If you want authentic, delicious, mouth-watering Menudo & Pozole or a host of other dishes cooked up by the Mexican staff, you'll have to drop in. You dont have to speak Spanish but this is the place to practice up if you're a little rusty. Show up hungry.

I went alone to wait 20 minutes for them to bring me the menus, and then I ordered to the very rude waitress and she told me, wait, terrible service, I won't go again.

Three stars is generous for this place. The food is so bland, a microwave dinner has more flavor. The service was good, the aqua fresca was good, but thats it. This food tastes like it was made for an old folks home. The salsa is basically tomato soup, there are no recognizable tomatoes onions or cilantro in it. The chips should be good, they look legit, but are so hard I thought I bit into a rock at one point. The beef again has zero flavor and the tortillas hardly had any sign of being warmed in a pan or however its done, it was like a packaged mission tortilla. The rice had no taste at all! It was like uncle bens from the microwave, but worse. The refried beans were sub par. I ate here with 4 other people and nobody finished their food, which is unusual for this group. This isn’t a trash review, I just think this is the worst Mexican restaurant in Tyler, there are so many options that are miles ahead of this place, Taco Bell tastes better than mama o’s! Get it together guys!!
