Mamacita's Famous Taco on South Cedar Street in Lansing.
Today was the first day of what’s going to be a lot of improvising when it comes to dinner. I’m working this summer downtown and it’s going to keep me from being home a few nights a week. I had a 6:00 meeting tonight and when I was walking out at 7:00, I got a text from J asking if I could meet her for dinner. I happened to be getting in my truck when I got the message, so I called her back and suggested meet for tacos.
Mamacita’s Famous Taco is on Cedar Street in that strip mall right next to the Lansing PD’s South Precinct. I always thought it was two different business, but it’s just the sign that’s split up. We walked in under the sign that said “Famous Taco” to find a dining room that spanned what probably used to be two separate store fronts. There were already laminated menus on the table, so we grabbed a booth near the front. It was a little after 7:00 on a Monday night and we were the only ones there. A few people came in for carry out, but we obviously missed the dinner rush.
The decor is pretty bland. They don’t have the usual, stereotypical Mexican decor. Other than the booths and tables, the only thing in the restaurant were stainless steel buffet tables which get used during the day. There was no dinner buffet, so we ordered off the menu.
A waiter came over with our Pepsi’s then went and got some chips and salsa. The chips were home made as was the salsa. He brought out mild and asked if that was ok. It was fine with me. The chips and salsa were delicious. There were a few too many chunks of onion in the salsa for me. I’m not an onion fan and I’d rather not see them even though I know I’m eating them. J was eating the chips by themselves. She really liked them. Read the rest of this entry »
