Mama Lu’s is a taco-slinging, modern day taco shop and bar in the heart of Traverse City’s downtown neighborhood. Open since 2016, the affordable menu is complemented by well-crafted margaritas and an unpretentious collection of beer, wine and spirits. A true fixture in the community, the fun and energetic vibes offer a destination for both date nights and family dining alike.

An Italian Pasta House that opened Downtown Traverse City in 2020, we serve an approachable menu that features simple housemade pastas like spaghetti and marinara alongside creative specialties that highlight lots of seasonal local ingredients. We keep it casual, like the music a little on the loud side, and love to have fun while we have the pleasure of serving our guests.
