Marina hipsters flock to Mamacita for its flavor-packed Cal-Mex fare that is not 100% authentic, but is 200% delicious. The vibe is casual and the dark wood furnishings, large tequila-lined bar, oversized mirrors, and starburst pendant lights hint of Mexico. The Mexican-inspired dishes utilize fresh, local ingredients but still somehow taste like delicious south-of-the-border fare. The menu might feature classic chile rellenos filled with fava beans and goat cheese; achiote-spiced prawn tacos with grilled pineapple and watercress; and an enchilada casserole of pork meatballs, spicy tomato salsa, refried black beans, and melted queso. For a bit of sweet, try the cheesecake "flan" with a tequila-strawberry purée—likely from its vast selection of tequilas.
