- Big Mama's are out of this world :) You do not go to Jalepenos for the food, but the food is pretty decent. Stop here for an afternoon marg!Upvote2Downvote
Melanie PysdenAugust 6, 2011Try the margarita classico... A bit more $ than big mama, but 20 oz shaker, and better quality. Served straight up in a martini glass with many refills ;)Upvote1Downvote
Hands down best Mexican food in Bellingham! Delicious drinks. Big mamas during happy hour! (Margarita with 5 shots of tequila). Amazing staff too! Great place for family dinners and parties!UpvoteDownvote- Nikki G.August 12, 2010The quintessential dinner/drinking spot for Western students on their 21st birthday. Go for happy hour (11am-4pm) for the BIg Mama for $8. Rumored to have 6 shots of tequila, make sure you have a rideUpvote1Downvote
