Very good place to go on the weekend dance a have a empanada
I absolutely love this place. The sensory and ambience is unmatched! I literally come here for their top shelf margaritas and the empanadas are amazing! I absolutely love the owner, she spoils me every time I sit at the bar! A MUST try! ✨
Really great food and it has a night around the town vibes. Check it out on a Saturday night for girls night.
I have come here several times but this is my first time making a review. I love this place. The service is fast and excellent and the food is excellent as well. Overall just a great place to eat and enjoy a good meal.
I love mamá empanadas , I had a good time coming here with my friends, we all enjoyed the food and service. Recommend to anyone who want to try something different, and good atmosphere.
I went there recently with my family and We all love it! Excellent service, love the food, a family place that we all enjoyed. We'll definitely come back.
After our terrible experience at another place our group decided to go to Mama's Empanadas pretty late at night. We got really good service from the moment we walked in the door. We got seated in the patio where we ordered a couple drinks and bites to share. We told the server it was my husband's birthday and they took the time to do a little celebration for him which we really appreciated. All the bites we got to share were delicious and hot fresh! Drinks are fairly priced and I just love their patio atmosphere. They have a DJ on the weekends and they play cool music! I will definitely be back to try the empanadas!
Food was good, but not great for the price
Beer and food a bit overpriced. But the Empanadas were delicious.
Delicious empanadas. Also tried their mofungo , and two other dishes which were pretty good. We ordered take out once we got there, it did take a while for the food. The place turns into a lively ambiance at night.
Was looking for some empanadas that were as good or better than the ones I got in miami!! These were not. Too much breading didn't taste home made at all
The empanadas were good but the lady that took my order was rude and overcharged me. Since it was my first time and I didn't know any better I even left a tip. I won't be back for a while. I don't know if there's a "not a Dominican" tax in the area but it sure feels like it for no reason. Especially when I'm extra nice to them.
I’ve only had the empanadas. It’s very bland with no flavor, even the sauce isn’t good. They’re over priced. Other places are about 3 for $7, mamas is over $5 per
After complaining about my cold empanada, she proceeded to charge me for it at the register. If I didn’t speak up I would’ve been charged. Me and my gf each ordered one and hers came out fresh 10 mins later. When asked why mine was cold, she proceeded to say that hers was cooking longer, which was a lie. I can tell I got leftovers. The prices at the register did not match the menu and I paid more than I should have still. The atmosphere was unwelcoming when walking in. No regards or manners for a proper dining experience. We ended up losing our appetites because it started getting too awkward. Will never come back. Pictured is the yugao fries with chicken that they sell.
Food was terrible. Beef had a horrible aftertaste, everything was cold and the pastry shells were rubbery, not hot and crunchy. We asked for ice waters but were charged for bottled water. I see so many good reviews but we had nothing good from our experience. Won't be back.
