The atmosphere is amazing! Nice and chill atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and helpful, this really brings me back to when I would go by my grandmothers house and she was always so warming and loving. The food is seriously out of this world, everything is always fresh and very well seasoned. If you haven’t been here yet! You have to visit atleast once!

Stopped by the new location in Ocean Springs inside the new Crave Food Hall. Pleasantly surprised as I didn’t have the highest expectations for pupusas from a bougie hipster food hall. Pupusas are huge and on the thinner side, less dense which I found easier to eat. So good. One order included two huge pupusas, and it was a nice, filling, but not overwhelming snack. Got the chicken and cheese, which had a puréed filling. I think food is made to order, and while we waited, we saw someone making them from scratch. You can taste the love in it! Staff was friendly and helped us decide what to order. Would definitely come again.

This used to be 5 Star , I dont knon whats happening but please go back to the original seasoning, your Birria Nachos were the best, my son likes just the nachos, cheese and birria meat, but the meat is not same it taste like it was just boiled with salt, not to say it looks more like pork than beef and is disappointing, I been coming here since 2020-2021 and the flavor was always the same unfortunately not anymore, I hope take this review and go back to the original recepi, almost $20 and not what I was expecting the quality is not the same, please fixed.

Decided to try this place because a lot of people recommended it as having the best birria tacos. When you walk in, order at the counter, take your order number, and enter through another door to get into the dining room area. Someone will bring the order to you, and there’ll be an area with condiments and a bucket for you to place your plates when done.
In my opinion, the birria tacos were ok. I was disappointed. I’ve definitely had better but to all their own. The chicken quesidillas were plentiful but were also just ok, nothing too special to note. I thought it was odd that they didn’t have any homemade sauces available but instead had hot sauce bottles, even one from Buccees..Or maybe they did have some but you have to request for it.
They do sell other things like snacks and such, too. There were plenty of parking spaces, but the lot itself is tight when it gets crowded.

The food here is really good and you can tell it’s made with care. Very flavorful, yet not salty or overbearing. We had the birria nachos (without pico or beans) and the pupa fritas – both were exceptional. The hibiscus aqua fresca was really refreshing and not overly sweet. The staff is really nice and welcoming. The place is quaint with just a few tables, so ordering to go is a good option.

Local business trying to survive so 5 stars from me just for that. Visited off of a youtube review that I watched. The food was great, and the staff was friendly. Nothing fancy. There is nothing extra, just decent food.

I happened to hear the review on the place on the radio and decided to try it. I’m happy that I did. I ordered the
Yuca Con Chicharron and chicken tamale. The first dish was larger than I thought, but it was delicious. I haven’t eaten the tamale yet, since I was full from the first dish. But I look forward to doing so later. I got to meet and talk with the father of the business, and it was very pleasant, as he gave me samples of certain foods and informed about why his tortitas are different than others. It was very informative. One of his sons was a chef at Emeril’s, and a New York magazine rated Mawi as a top ten best restaurants in New Orleans. Im looking forward to another visit

I’ve been wanting to try the birria tacos and I always feel I need to try more than one thing when going somewhere new…so I greedily ordered the birria tacos and birria nachos. I called ahead of time and was told my order would be ready in 10 minutes. I arrived 8 minutes later and they were wrapping up my order…perfect timing!
I had an 18 minute drive home and didn’t want to risk the food getting cold and soggy, so I ate in the parking lot lol! The birria nachos were definitely the star of the show. The flavors were great and the cheese had a distinct taste that I loved. There is nothing stingy about Mawi. The birria tacos were full of meat but I would have liked more cheese inside. The accompanying pico de gallo was the best I’ve ever had.
The restaurant is small and there is some seating. It looked very clean inside and the guy that did my order was really nice. I was won on the customer service alone. Overall, my entire experience was good! I’d definitely like to return to try the pupusas and some of the other items.

Never again will I go there. I walked in they dont say anything to me they just looked at me. Then I ask them for tortillas this one girl gave them to me and then she charged me, so I was paying and she had pressed a button to where the screen said keep payment or cancel payment so I pressed keep payment and some other lady just comes and turns the monitor away from me while I was pressing keep payment and did the transaction again. She was so rude. So I asked her what she was doing ans she said oh it’s cuz it said cancel payment. If they knew how to read they would know that they can press where it says keep payment nd not cancel the transaction when that happens. She really made me mad cuz she just so rudely turned the monitor away from me….. no stars for this business!
