2nd visit to Ay Mi Madre and I hate to say it... my first experience cleared this one by a mile. This was a Cinco de Mayo run with friends, so the company was 10/10, but the rest? Service was definitely underwhelming this round, and honestly the food didn't hold up either. I'm a Birria girl through and through and I played it safe with what what I know. The birria tacos came a bit OVERstuffed for me and they fell apart immediately, and there was zero real flavor. My margarita was giving straight strawberry syrup with a splash of "hope." Wait time for initial service was 30+ minutes, and we were told they were short-staffed. Our server was on day 2, so no shade to him at all -- that was a management/setup issue. It just felt like no one was really helping control the chaos or wait times. After eating, we still waited another 30 minutes just to get our checks. Not to mention, there was an extra margarita on my tab that I didn't order. Between the noise level and language barriers, I ended up using a translator app just to clear it up... which honestly is my sign to start my Spanish lessons ASAP. Overall, I won't pull up for the party nights but maybe a chill Sunday visit would hit better, and I'll definitely be trying a different menu item until those birria tacos redeem themselves read more

Popped in here for a quick late lunch with the bestie and was pleasantly surprised! I loved the decor and ambiance of this place! The mural was giving Wynwood/Miami vibes and I love a reminder of home! We split the Birria Pizza which was definitely enough for two. It was delicious and cheesy and so well seasoned! We also got the guacamole which sadly was lacking salt but once we tracked down a salt shaker on another table it was delicious! The chips were also fab! Service was quick and everyone was kind and helpful! We will be back! read more

Recently stumbled upon this restaurant while shopping in the area. I'll start by saying that the location itself is a bit obscure and off the beaten path. Improved signage would help but it is a hard location for foot traffic. Now once in the location itself a different story. The service was great, and staff were eager to assist and provide offerings. The Monday specials of $5 margaritas and $10 fajitas were well worth the price point with large portions and good flavors. The marg was not lacking in punch either. While the regular menu items are priced a bit high the flavor was there. I will go back a couple of times and explore the offerings. When warm I know the patio will be a great vibe. read more

I came here to try the mofongo. I fell in love with it when I went if Puerto Rico and was glad that I could find it locally. The restaurant is large and open. I could see it being good for groups. The decorations are cute and trendy. I did not like that the mofongo included pork and that was not advertised on the menu. I didn't finish my food. Next time I would ask for it without pork or order something else. This is a Latin fusion restaurant with many items to choose from. read more

Ay Mi Madre - Latin American Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I use to be a consistent customer, until these past experiences. My family and I started coming here for the past couple months for taco Tuesday. We normally go to my favorite spot on west market but my boyfriend loves Aye Mi Madre Tacos. For a while, I did too. But as of late they have been dropping the ball. I would order very simple orders, Birria tacos and quesadillas ... TO GO. I'm sure that's where the problem lies. However, every time I get my food, it's always incorrect, leaving me leaving my house again and heading back to the restaurant to fix my order. this is stressful because I do not live close. There were times I didn't get the main sauce to dip the tacos in and other times, I would just get the birria meat and that's it, no veggies, no cheese.... nothing. The prices for these types of mistmakes do not add up! read more

It was my first time eating here and it was delicious! Service was friendly and attentive. The sweet plantains and empanadas were great. The outdoor seating area is really nice. Looking forward to coming back to try their sushi rolls. Prices seemed a little high but they had half off appetizers when we were there so that made it more reasonable. read more

Service was excellent and the food was on point! We each enjoyed mofongo with pork and chicken and a refreshing mojito. Since it's billed as a fusion restaurant, they also have, of all things, sushi. I can't comment on the sushi as I am not a fan but other tables seemed to be enjoying theirs. read more

New restaurant in greensboro, The ambiance is 5 star , My food was kinda bland, the sauce needed more seasoning for me , If you have a taste for Dominican / Columbia fusion food. This is the place for you. I will go back just to try another menu item like the sushi. I do suggest ay mi Madre for you next date night. read more

Tucked in the Highwoods shopping area off New Garden Rd is the Latin Fusion restaurant Ay Mi Madre. Upon walking into the establishment, the decor is really modern, clean and nice! There was a bar area off to the left. We were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outdoors. It was really hot so we chose inside. Our waitress was incredibly nice. She recommended their special cocktails and drinks, but we will have to try them in our next visit. I did spot a few cocktails from other patrons around the restaurant and they looked really good! They have wonderful eclectic menu options. You ever see a menu that you would like to try one of everything? They have that here. I had a hard time deciding because everything looked good. It was lunch time, so I tried their shrimp street tacos. Absolutely the best street tacos I've had in a while. The shrimp were seasoned beautifully. The toppings were fresh and the sauce was just the right touch. I ordered a side of fries and requested ketchup. The waitress said they had ketchup, but recommended their special sauces. Oh my gosh...just give me the whole bottle of each sauce. Great recommendation. Gosh those sauces were good. My friend got shrimp fajitas. They were plated so well. It was large, we could have split it. I tasted the beans. The beans were amazing. She said the rice was good and the guacamole was fresh. Yes, I'm coming back. Service and food were great! read more

I went out to eat with my son--we had a *bandeja paisa*, a chimichanga, and two glasses of juice, and then my son ordered an extra one. When I went to pay, the total came to $96, even though the *bandeja paisa* cost $26, the chimichanga was $20, and the juices were $7.26 each. I think their pricing is completely unreasonable, and on top of that, they ask for a tip. read more

The food was very good, honestly better than expected. Tasty, perfectly seasoned, but the presentation exceeded expectations. Service was excellent, and the overall look of the place is inviting. As you can see, I highly recommend it! Give it a try if you haven't yet! read more

Ay Mi Madre - This is shrimp in white sauce - Latin American Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This was my first time trying this place, and unfortunately it will probably be my last. The food was extremely salty, I brought it up to the manager, hoping they would fix the issue or at least remove the dish from the bill. The server felt so bad because the manager refused to take it off the bill. She ended up paying the dish herself. Not to mention the manger didn't even apologize for what had happened... If something is clearly not right with the food, it shouldn't be that difficult to resolve. The server should also not be responsible for the cook's mistakes. Overall, a disappointing experience, especially for a first visit. read more

This is an authentic restaurant with very good food . Prices are reasonable as well. The restaurant is tucked deep in the back so not everyone knows it's here but upon arrival you'll find that you'll have a very pleasant experience there. I will be going back to visit read more

What a delightful surprise. Latin fusion is truly diverse, from sushi and teriyaki bowls to a wide variety of mofongos from Puerto Rico and street tacos, ceviche from Peru and penne from Italy. Seafood to burgers, chicarrones to tomahawk steaks. What a variety! We blew in after picking up a friend from Bogotá at the airport and we had a ball. We were anxious, due to others' bad experiences in the reviews. I had the pulpo mofongo, and it was perfect. Each mouthful was a savory delight. My partner had the mofongo chicharron de pollo and it was so good she wouldn't share. Our. Guest had the ceviche and the marinade was beautifully layered. We look forward to introducing friends to this gem. read more

Love this place! Everytime I'm in town I have to go here. The sushi is amazing the best I've had in a while. The munfungo was great! The atmosphere is amazing they have hookah outdoors and DJ's in the inside and outside. I love this place service is always great. read more

Food was delicious. Steak quesadillas were decent. The big combo platter with chicharrones was amazing. Churros were alright. Service was interesting/questionable because we were approached by two different servers for drink orders within a few minutes. Secondly, we asked what was in/on the side for some items and the server had no idea and didn't offer to go ask the kitchen. Third, why have horchata on the menu if you don't serve it... Or at least tell the table things you are out of when you first greet them so they can review the menu and make quicker decisions. But she was sweet and the food we ordered came out correctly. read more

I had a great dinner with friends last night at Ay Mi Madre. I grew up in Miami, Florida, and I am always in search of authentic Latin food in the triad. I am happy to report that Ay Mi Madre definitely hit the spot! I loved the look of the space, and the vibe totally made me feel like I was back in Miami, including the Latin music. They had a lot of fun cocktails, and I would say my only complaint was that drink service was a bit slow - but our servers were super friendly and that made up for it. I had the Mofongo de Camarones which is a traditional dish of mashed fried plantains and I chose to have it with shrimp and a cream sauce. It was absolutely delicious! My girlfriend had it with steak and hers was amazing as well. A couple of girlfriends had various kinds of tacos, as well as rice bowls, and they all loved their food. We were celebrating three birthdays, and the staff came out dancing and waving sparkly lights around and played Go Shawty, It's Your Birthday and we got up and danced with them. It was a super fun evening and I cannot wait to go back and try other dishes... particularly their Latin fusion sushi! I strongly encourage everyone to give this restaurant a try and keep them in business!!! read more

let me start by saying , the only reason why I went there is because my son called me and informed me that he found a restaurant that sells Dominican and Puerto Rican cuisines. he knows that I have been searching for an authentic Puerto Rican or Dominican restaurant that sells wonderful food. upon arrival, they were very nice very hospitable, but I wasn't really hungry so I ordered three chicken empanadas. While I was waiting I asked the young lady that took my order for a cup of ice water. she then said sure and walked away, at this time I'm thinking she's going to get me some ice water. 10 minutes went by then 12 minutes , 15 minutes still no water. 17 minutes hear comes my order. I then asked for ice water again she said sure and walked away. At this point I'm annoyed. I asked for ice water three times, still no water so I left. for the price that I paid for the empanadas $16 for three small empanadas it was not worth it lack of seasoning lack of taste and very dry. I do not recommend any food from there. read more

Great food, very cute place with wonderful sushi. Will definitely go back. Great date night place.

We have been meaning to check out Ay Mi Madre for a while, yesterday we finally stopped in for lunch. We both ordered from the lunch menu, we tried the enchiladas verdes and the flautas verdes. Both were delicious and the portions were generous. (Unlike some restaurants where lunch portions tend to be small). Likewise, our order of guacamole was excellent and was a generous amount. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. Overall we had a very pleasant experience and will definitely be back. read more

We have now eaten at Aye Mi Madre twice and both times have been great! The food is delicious and tastes fresh. I love the variety and have tried many dishes, all very good. The arepitas appetizer is my favorite of the many great dishes. We even tried the sushi and loved it. A great fusion restaurant. And the staff has been attentive and made this a great experience. And we love the atmosphere and back patio. This will be a new regular! read more

The food was honestly pretty good although the mango drink tasted kinda old.. clean bathrooms, service was good bilingual and pretty nice. Id come again!!! read more

IF I could leave no stars I would have. Aweful location as you have to walk 100yrds or so to the door and parking is minimal from the other businesses. The music is WAY too loud, and the service is just bad. They don't know what they are doing or don't care. All the food at our table was dry and tasteless and really over priced. I would go anywhere is Greensboro other than here. Read the other reviews here and you will see the place awful. read more

The food was just okay. I had mofongo in Puerto Rico and for the price I was expecting it to be just as good as that. It had a slice of what appeared to be processed cheese food on top that wasn't even melted. A glass of wine was $13 (but the price was not on the menu)!!! I opted for a cocktail for only $1 more dollar. What place prices like that?! The service was slow. The servers don't speak english very good so it was difficult to ask questions about the menu. It is very loud and difficult to have a conversation without yelling. One and done for us. read more

We really wanted to like it here. Based purely on the food itself, it's a solid 4 stars, maybe 5. However, I don't expect they'll be in business for too long. We arrived around 530pm on a Thursday for dinner and were the only customers. 1 other person was seated just before we left. Our server was very pleasant. The prices are higher than what you typically see in a similar LATAM restaurant, but we knew that beforehand and expected the quality to align. We ordered the Quesabirria Tacos and Shrimp Street Tacos for ourselves. We ordered a side for the little guy (I think fries?). They let us know a little later they were out of that so we ordered beans. The food was all very good...one of the best quesabirria I've had, the shrimp tacos were on point and even the beans (which came w/ rice) were top notch. Then came time to pay. They said they tried several times but my card would not work. Ok, sometimes things happen, so I gave them another card. That one worked. In the meantime, I checked the initial card online and it showed to have been charged 5 times. I showed this to them and they said they didn't complete the transaction and it would come off in a bit. It didn't. The following Monday, all 5 transactions cleared. And, to top it off, they charge my 2nd card two times and both had cleared. I called that evening and explained the situation to someone who then put me on the phone with Alejandro ( I believe was his name). He said that they could not speak w/ their POS provider at that time & that they were closed on Tuesdays and for me to call back btwn 4-5pm on Wednesday and he'd have it taken care of. No apologies, explanation about how this happened, etc. The explanation (and lack thereof) didn't sit well with me but I figured I'd see it through. On Wednesday, I called no fewer than 15 times between 4-5pm. Guess what? No answer. Went to voicemail that "had not been set up" so no message could be left. At this point, I was through. I called both credit card companies, explained the situation and disputed all charges except the one that included our tip on the second card. Net-net: We were charged $460 for what we paid $74 for. Despite me pointing it out to begin with. No apology. No explanation. No follow up. The food is very good. But not "$460 for 2 adults and a baby" good. And not "spend several hours trying to recoup our money" good. We won't be back and, as much as I hate to say it, doubt there will be anywhere to "go back to" for long. read more

La mejor comida de toda el area riquisima , me encantó todo y la bebida es excelente 5 estrellas ...
