Mama’s Mexican Kitchen
2234 Second Ave, 728-6262
Description: A long-standing family-run Mexican eatery and lounge in Belltown.
What’s inside: Loads of customers, a series of brightly colored dining spaces, and a room filled with Elvis-themed collectibles.
About that: It’s pretty straightforward. Owner Mike McAlpin is a fan, so he used some memorabilia to spruce up the room. While the Mama’s website suggests that “Mama and Elvis shared a margarita once upon a time,” reality is far less glamorous. “It never happened,” says Mike. (Mama is his grandmother. He would know.)
More lie-exposing facts: Elvis didn’t drink, and he was notoriously uneasy around booze. Even the sight of it made him uncomfortable. A can of beer, for instance, had to be poured into a glass to be consumed in his presence.
What Elvis would’ve drunk at Mama’s: Just a Pepsi. It was his favorite.
Happy hours: Daily 4–6:30 pm.
Happy-hour drink specials: $5.25 well drinks, $2 PBR, and a selection of $5.50–$6.75 margaritas (Cuervo Cadillac, lime, and strawberry).
Happy-hour food specials: A mini menu of basics ($3.95 quesadilla, $2.95 soft taco). 
everything is so great about this place except for the service.
their food is nasty
The food here is horrible, the atmosphere is worse, and the staff are too jacked up on coke and pills to remember their own names.
fuck this place.
