Was feeling like eating some tacos tonight, and decided to give this Mexican-Indian fusion restaurant a try ! The complimentary chips and Salsa was so good, the salsa was so zesty, I could taste how fresh the tomatoes were :) They had a lot of vegetarian options, and I went for the Chili Paneer tacos with some Model Especial on draft. The tacos arrived fairly quick, and was served with a side of freshly made mango salsa, black beans and house rice. The chili Paneer gravy paired with the naan taco shells, just made it a very refreshing twist on tacos and ofcourse I got some hot sauce to amp up the heat ! For dessert, I got the churros, served with ice creams and it tasted delicious! The food here was really good, I just think that the service could have been a little more upbeat & cheerful! Will definitely come back! :)

4.5/5. Not quite 5 stars. The food had AMAZING flavor. -The salsa for the chips were yummy. -Masala Fries on top were a little dry, like it needed something extra- maybe cheese. The fries that were soaked on the bottom were delicious and not soggy. -Tropical Ceviche: If you are not fan of how much lime can be in ceviche, this is for you. Very sweet, delicious. I personally prefer the lime taste but this tasted like it was marinated in pineapple. Raw shrimp too -Tropical Fajitas: the flavor on the Chicken was seriously something else! My only 2 complaints is the dish could have used a little more chicken and one more tortilla. The veggies weren't cooked perfectly, still really tasty and great flavor but the texture was a little hard. -Fried Ice Cream was AMAZING. As someone who HATES coconut, this was a very tasty dessert. Served on a churro seasoned homemade/fresh toasted. A perfect way to end dinner. I definitely recommend trying this place out! Well worth the stop!

We tried this place on a whim, and we will be back! I mean, hope could I pass up a place with a dish named after me (Kathi Roll)?! The fusion of flavors is awesome, ingredients are fresh, and the food is just plain excellent. I couldn't keep the kids out of the guacamole or salsa long enough to get a photo

We always have a great time at Mama Tigre. Praveer provided exceptional and fast service; we never had an empty drink and he was always right on time when we needed him! The food is always phenomenal and unique here; it’s worth coming out of the way for!

This place offers a unique fusion of Mexican cuisine with an Indian twist. I usually go for their Spicy Tikka Enchiladas—absolutely love them—but this time I tried the Butter Chicken, which was a bit too tangy for my taste. They started us off with complimentary nachos and salsa, which was a nice touch. We also ordered the Spicy Jalapeño Margaritas—definitely a favorite and worth trying if you like a little kick in your drink. The ambience is warm and inviting. We went later in the evening and didn’t have to wait, but it can get busy during peak lunch and dinner hours, so I’d recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Overall, a great spot if you're looking to try something different and enjoy flavorful fusion dishes.

This was a great experience. Previously, we had ordered takeout, but dining in was even better. If you have eaten here, there is a good chance you'll become an ardent fan, just like the people who recommended this restaurant to me. I was here to meet a friend, and we both truly enjoyed the ambiance, the service, and, of course, the food. ​The way I judge a restaurant starts with the host or hostess. A cheerful person at the host stand makes all the difference, and I experienced that on both of my visits. That positive spirit and a smile are reflected in the service throughout the meal. The second thing I look for is how well their systems work, especially the frequency of water glass refills. I was pleasantly surprised that they ask if you want water with ice, and my guest's request for room-temperature water was pleasantly fulfilled. ​The chef/owner has taken a risk by combining Mexican and Indian food, but it's a very good combination because of the many similarities between the two cuisines. This food will appeal to everyone, and for those who want to be adventurous and try Indian food, this is a great place to start. It's perfect for people with different palates who enjoy a mixture of cuisines. ​The service was exceptional. I love that they have a card that is green or red depending on if you want service, which we didn't even need to use. The service staff assigned to us, whose name was Sasha, was always paying attention and was there when we needed her. ​The portions are generous, and the food is very tasty. The texture of the bread was not stringy, making it the perfect companion for the chicken tikka roll, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The menu has a lot of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The bar menu also looked good, so I have to come back another day when it's not a working day. There's plenty of parking, and the location is excellent—right off I-66 and not too far from my house in Potomac, MD. ​For dessert, we shared the fried ice cream, which was a delight, and the portion was quite large.
