Mama Ana Somerville Reviews
Great food, clean and fresh atmosphere, great service.
Still delicious as ever with a great assortment of options and friendly staff. And I am excited to come here more frequently after the recent renovations to the sidewalks and bike lanes have made it easier to get here!
Best quick breakfast spot around. Hidden Gem. Off the beaten path of other assembly row spots but they have an awesome menu and really good prices. Picana for steak and eggs is excellent and coffee is great!
We just had a wonderful meal here after spending the day in the Public Storage unit next door. It is a hidden gem. We had cubanos, pasta, empanadas, bolas de queso…all amazing. Such nice people cooking and serving. We will go back soon!
We had a fantastic experience at Mama Ana Latin-Brazilian Cuisine! We visited with our two small children and immediately felt welcomed by the warm and friendly staff. The atmosphere was inviting and perfect for families. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. We especially loved the breakfast selection, which offered a great variety of tasty options. It’s not always easy to find a place that’s both kid-friendly and serves high-quality food, but Mama Ana gets it just right. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back!
I'm a fan of this Cafe which serves up breakfast, dessert, and lunch dishes with an emphasis on Brazilian influenced. Breakfast you'll find standard options like fried eggs, pancakes, & French toast, with some chef specials like their House Huevos Rancheros, Creamy Eggs with Hot Sauce, Meat, and Cheese, and fantastic Breakfast Burrito. For Lunch you'll find paninis, classic sandwiches, salads, subs, burrito (tortilla or bowl), pastas, and a special Brazilian menu of entrees (Grilled Chicken, Steak, Tilapia, Pork Sirloin) and sandwiches (give the Brazilian Style Burger a try! Includes egg, ham, grilled chicken, peas, corn, and potato sticks). Good beverage selection such as cappuccino, expresso, chai lattes, gourmet hot chocolate, and tea. Lots of coffee drinks here. Prices are quite reasonable and portions are substantial. They do a good job with providing optional add-ons for certain dishes, giving the customer some flexibility. The place is clean / modern (tables / seating reflect our covid times).
Had to drop a review for Mama Ana’s in Somerville after visiting again recently – what a transformation! The space has always been inviting, but now it's taken a stylish leap forward, adding to the already vibrant atmosphere. As someone who's pretty selective with food, I was over the moon to find out I could tweak my dishes without even asking. The chicken shepherd's pie was a cozy delight, while my husband jazzed up his chicken and cheese pastels with some corn – talk about tailor-made! But let's talk about the appetizer: mashed potato balls with chicken and cheese inside, all wrapped up in a crispy, flavor-packed shell. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! And the pomegranate iced tea? Best. Iced. Tea. Ever. Period. Despite not living close by, the food alone makes the journey worth it. Toss in top-notch service and fair prices, and you've got a recipe for a must-visit spot. Mama Ana’s, you'll be seeing us again soon!
This place is definitely recommended for breakfast and lunch! 3 eggs omelette with veggies and gluten-free bread was super delicious. Owner and staff are all very nice and fast in service. They have good coffee and smoothies. Try and see, Sat and Sun mornings can be a little crowded because of the amazing food, but you will find a place to sit in 10 minutes. No reservations are needed. You can park in front or across the street there is a tjmaxx and other outlet stores with big parking place.
We went there during the weekend (sat) around 9-10. The place was not so full! They have tables to seat inside and outside! They have a lot of good options for breakfast specially Brazilians things like Pao de queijo and coxinha! You must try! They have good options to drink as well! The attendants were really kind and respectful! We can find a restroom in the back part of the store!
Pretty good food. Fried tilapia is abit dry. We also ordered Nutella banana fried pastel. It has too little Nutella, I’d rather have a smaller pastel with heavy filled nutella that’d taste more fulfilling. But overall good ambience, friendly server and good food. Pretty empty but a lot better than many restaurants nearby.
Mama Ana is a delightful neighborhood breakfast/lunch spot with real charm to it. Conveniently close to where we were staying for our trip to the area, it was on our radar and after looking at the menu we were all sold. I enjoyed taking in the atmosphere as I waited to order and I even noticed Mama Ana interacting with a family she seemed familiar with. I had the breakfast tacos and the pineapple smoothie. They both seemed SO FRESH. The winner of my party seemed to consensus be the shepherds pie, so that’s something I strongly recommend. Love this place!
The Navy Yard is a food desert and Mama Ana makes this place bearable. They serve a wonderful collection of breakfast and lunch foods with a Brazilian twist. They also have a pretty extensive beverage selection that includes teas, espressos, and smoothies. Takes about 20 mins fo get a take out order during the lunch rush which is pretty good. Price is also fair when compared to the other places in the Navy Yard. Would recommend their croquettes, empenads, burritos, and smoothies.
I ordered online in the evening of Jan 24 for takeout. The restaurant took $100 payment, but it turns out they closed 90 minutes earlier and no one was onsite. Lightspeed (ordering platform) is useless for initiating a refund or payment dispute. I've called the restaurant for help but no one has gotten back to me. It's now 3 weeks later and still no refund. I'm really disappointed because the food looks super good!
My recent visit left me disappointed. I ordered a soup and a half sandwich, but the portion of the sandwich was surprisingly tiny, almost like a sample, and both items lacked flavor. The staff was polite and the place seemed fine, but the food itself didn’t meet expectations. I hope they improve the taste and portion sizes.
I actually like this store, but today I went into purchase my regular which is an egg and cheese on a bagel/croissant with an orange mango juice. The fresh pressed orange mango price is still the same but the employee told me that the owner adjusted the oz from 16oz to 12oz but kept the same price. I think that’s crazy and I just have to say how I feel. Peace
