HIGHLY RECOMMEND this location purely based on one visit! First time was definitely impressionable. Seating was as equally quick and efficient as ordering. I’ve been to many high end to moderate restaurants and Hispanic restaurants NEVER make us wait very long for almost anything. From seating, drinks, ordering to receiving our food AND paying. So, this restaurant is no different, just add in their delicious dishes. Unfortunately, my family and I ate our food so quickly, we forgot to take pics of our plates lol Try it out and see for yourself

MAMA COCO Cantina in Calera is an absolute treasure! The cultural ambiance is vibrant, and the Coco-themed art brings a warm, family-friendly atmosphere to the restaurant. The service is outstanding—my server was a cool, professional boxer who was both knowledgeable and personable, adding to the overall great experience.
I had the Durango Steak, which was a ribeye cooked to perfection, paired with 5 jumbo shrimp grilled just right. The steak was topped with a delicious fajita butter that took the dish to another level! It came with steamed veggies covered in their famous cheese sauce and a side of authentic Spanish rice. The plating was beautiful—everything was as impressive visually as it was delicious.
My daughter loved her quesadillas, calling them the best she’s ever had. The slow-cooked beans with roasted pork were rich and flavorful. My mom enjoyed the Pollo Loco, which was juicy grilled chicken on a bed of rice and cheese sauce.
The restaurant is laid-back during the week but transforms into a fun karaoke spot on weekends with half-off drinks and great music! I also had a Texas Margarita, made with 5 different liquors—it was amazing, possibly the best margarita I’ve ever had!
If you’re in Calera, don’t miss MAMA COCO Cantina! Five-star authentic Mexican food, incredible service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Me and my family Highly recommend!

Im going to be nice and assume that this service being so poor wasnt on purpose.

The first time I called I got told we were closed early, I wasn’t given a reason as if she did not know or did not want to tell me that yall were closed due to pressure from another. But she told me that, I hung up, waited ten minutes, called back and placed my order.
I ordered the chimichangas with the shredded chicken. I wanted grilled chicken because thats what I’ve liked to get in the past, but couldnt because they were trying to close the restaurant before closing time, (i dont mean preclosing like sweeping up or shutting down only a few pieces of equipment in the back) they had no grills, already put the chemicals on the grill so I had to eat this shredded chicken that had an ungodly amount of salt. Whoever prepared that shredded chicken needs some serious retraining on the recipe. That or somebody sprinkled loads of salt on the shredded chicken that was maybe prepared right by someone else! But the recipe matters, and whoever on your team does not understand a thing about hospitality or doesn’t care about the rulebooks needs to just get replaced. Any self respecting business needs to take a stand against any of their subordinates to coach them in the right direction, retrain them, explain not to use so much salt, or just fire them and find ways to make any future shifts work without them.

I also heard word from the server on the phone the second time that they were in the back deep cleaning, which i commend folks who work hard to give the store an extra scrub to be cleaner, but time and place yall. Find the recipe issue, find the culprit or culprit collective mentality and coach it in the right direction and tell them how its done.

This place has been on my list for a long time. I was excited to finally get to stop and try it out. When I walked in, I was amazed at the atmosphere and how well decorated this location is we were greeted by a warm and welcoming staff member who took us to our table and promptly asked for our drink order, the chips and salsa were brought out which I must add. The salsa was delicious, but perhaps needed just a little salt since there was no salt or pepper on the table speaking of things on the table this restaurant offers a bottle of hand sanitizer which I noticed was at every table. I thought that was a very unique gesture, which are utilized. We ordered steak fajitas and a picture of lime margaritas on the rocks. Both came out quickly. The margaritas were delicious and the steak fajitas were extraordinary. They even came with a sauce or juice like substance that I gladly poured over my fajitas which only increased the taste and juiciness, the staff continue to check on us throughout our visit making sure that we had everything we needed. I found this to be a wonderful experience and so glad that I finally had an opportunity to stop. We were informed that there’s already a location in Birmingham and another location that will be open soon in Pelham. I look forward to the day when we can return and have another wonderful meal. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is in the area looking for authentic Mexican cuisine.

We went for truck parts then had the best time eating here this past Friday. It was some of the best Mexican food we’ve ever had. From the way it was presented to the sensational flavors it was one for the books! Our waiter was super polite and spoke Spanish with my little girl. She absolutely loved that and we’re definitely going to be back as soon as we can! More truck parts or not lol we’re coming to just eat!

Ordered chicken nachos. Chicken was dry no queso cheese. Gave dry shredded cheese. Service couldve been better. Dont waste your hard earned money. Go elsewhere.

-commenting back to owner.
Im not paying extra for something that normally comes on it. And the quality of the food was still terrible. Its not a good look when replying back to reviewers being argumentative. Do better.

After reading reviews we decided to try it out. What a mistake……. The margaritas were on special and were watered down….. we ordered the Texas fajitas and they came out cold….the peppers not even cooked and the dipping sauce that came with it was cold as ice. There supposed to be served sizzling……. Not!!! The waitress said sorry but offered nothing different. The shrimp was the best thing so we did give a 2 star for that reason. One of the worst Mexican food places we have ever been….

My wife and I first started eating at Mama Cocos Cantina in January of ’21 and eighteen months later we keep going back. This place has become one of our favorite places to eat and there’s more reasons than I can list as to why.

But I will mention a few highlights: great food, great service, awesome atmosphere and an overwhelming list of choices on their menu that are all outstanding . A few personal favorites are the Mexican Spaghetti, the Street Tacos, the Grande Burrito and the Mama’s Dip as an appetizer.

As long as Mama Cocos Cantina is still around, I know that great food is just a short drive away (we live in Columbiana). We are huge fans!!!

First time eating here. Friendly staff.
Great atmosphere. Food had great flavors. Queso was really good. I had the chicken and rice which also came with onion and bell peppers. They did not skimp on the chicken. There was plenty of food. I could have used more rice and less bell peppers but it was still delicious. Will definitely be there again.
