Summary

Located in the heart of Hillcrest, Mama Testa Taqueria has earned a reputation - and a good one at that! Stop by this cozy restaurant to sample authentic Mexican cuisine, representing all 31 states of Mexico, and you'll be glad that you did.

Do yourself a favor and try the fish tacos. Chef and owner Cesar faced Bobby Flay (of Food Network fame) in a 'fish taco throwdown,' and won! If fish tacos aren't your thing, try a beef or chicken taco loaded with salsa from the salsa bar.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, this is the place to go. The intimate feel of the restaurant and the outstanding salsa bar will have you dreaming of a return trip for more fish tacos before you've even left!
