Two things we love in Chattanooga: Southside Creative Group and cool small businesses that are located here. Well, an amazing restaurant called Taco Mamacita that started here in Chattanooga recently expanded to Nashville. Along with the expansion comes the need for new website photos. So when Steve Hamaker from Southside called me up, we were excited to participate in his project.
The owners of Taco Mamcita, Taylor and Mike Monen, did an incredible job with their first restaurant located on North Market Street but they REALLY outdid themselves with their recently opened Nashville location. And people are absolutely loving it. Only 7 weeks old, it’s completely shoulder to shoulder on Friday and Saturday nights. That’s pretty good with virtually no advertising at all. It just goes to show that they have something really special going on.
Here is the outside of the awesome new restaurant located close to Vanderbilt at 1200 Villa Place in the Edgehill Village area.
I got some cool detail shots but I’m always drawn to the more artistic ones. This photo was for me.
Some specialty drinks!
Taylor did all of the interior decorating and just did an amazing job with it. After leaving, I was trying to figure out what Mike and Taylor aren’t good at. As you can see, not much.
Interiors:
EVERYTHING in the store is made completely from scratch with the freshest ingredients. Hands down the best tacos I’ve ever tasted.
Sangria!
Unbelievable tacos with unbelievable drinks. Good combo. If you live in Chattanooga or Nashville, definitely do yourself a favor and go check them out!
Here’s the crew: Steve, his wife Shannon, Heather and Alana, and me!

Meg - Awww man, why did I go and read this when I was hungry?! Seriously, it’s 9:35am and snowing outsite, but I would totally go for an icey mojito and delicious soft taco (flour tortilla of course!). Beautiful photos guys (:
David Smith - Ahhh! Now I see what all the fuss is about! Nice pics! Makes me want to go there.

Steven Miller - Loved the photos! Looks like a really neat place; definitely going to make a point to eat there next time I’m in Nashville.
Garrett Nudd - Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great pics too! Makes me want to visit their Nashville location too.
Dawn Skowronnek - Taco Mamacita is my favorite place in Chattanooga. I guess it’s a good thing that I can identify the tacos featured by picture alone.
Tobi/Ivey Handcrafted - this looks awesome – I will have to check it out when I get to nashville next time. I love our local one but this one is off the chain cool
AWESOME photos as always
