The artist formerly known as Crave is now Mamita Cocina Mexican. The restaurant is the brainchild of Shah Bahreyni (Boca Pizzeria) and Chef Bernardo Robles. Mamita's menu pays tribute to Oaxaca, Puebla and the neighboring regions of Mexico. Prime meats and seasonal produce are cooked over an oak wood grill; the housemade masa is made from heirloom corn; and the lively margarita bar features up to 60 tequilas and mezcals.
Mamita's happy hour (Monday - Friday/3pm - 6:30pm) is sure to hit the spot. Sip on $5 draft beers, $6 wines by the glass, $6 mouthwatering margaritas while nibbling on tacos, flautas, and guacamole.
