'Mamis' is an excellent Caribbean Latin traditional flavorful food…read more It's a family own restaurant, nice ambience and music. We enjoyed the variety and selection like tostones, Mofongo con camarones (shrimp), rice with brown peas, stew gizzards, empanadillas, fish con variety peppers and onions, salmon, pollo guisado and typical fruit drinks and traditional desserts. Prices are right!!! Lady Griselda was super attentive, friendly to us and every customer coming thru the doors. She was explaining the different food and dishes selection. We have a great experience eating at Mami's' Restaurant. Highly recommended!

Mami's Latin Cuisines Restaurant is the kind of place that feels special the second you walk in…read more It's warm, energetic, welcoming, and truly authentic. You can feel the pride behind the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The owners, Griselda and Rafael, were incredibly kind and helpful. I don't eat meat, and they immediately listened to what I was looking for and recommended the shrimp in garlic sauce. I've had this dish at a lot of Central American and Latin restaurants, and this was easily one of the richest, most flavorful versions I've ever had. The garlic sauce had so much depth, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The tostones were also outstanding. My wife loves tostones, so we've had them plenty of times, and these were some of the freshest and best we've had, perfectly salted, crisp, and the plantain was cooked exactly right. Not mushy, not hard, just perfect. Their fresh juices were also incredible and absolutely worth ordering. The vibe of the restaurant is a huge part of the experience. It feels authentic, lively, and welcoming, and even the artwork inside and outside is worth stopping to see. The restaurant was busy with people coming in for what looked like buffet-style Dominican food, but my dish was cooked fresh in the back and still came out super fast. Another moment that stood out was when I noticed there were no empanadas de queso left. Griselda kindly told me it would only take a minute to make one fresh for me, and it came out perfect, especially with their house-made green sauce. My only small suggestion would be to add a hotter, punchier red sauce for people like me who love extra heat and want even more of a kick. But overall, this place is a gem. If you're looking for authentic Dominican food, Latin cuisine, fresh juices, tostones, shrimp in garlic sauce, empanadas, and genuinely kind service, Mami's Latin Cuisines Restaurant is absolutely worth visiting. Highly recommend.

I came here after placing my order over the phone because this was the only restaurant in my area…read morethat had mofongo. Once I arrived, I was immediately greeted by the hostess/server. The inside of the restaurant is decently sized, clean, and even has a space where you can host a DJ, which is a nice touch. There was a slight language barrier, but it wasn't a big issue. I waited about 5-10 minutes for my to-go order since the hostess/server was the only one working outside of the kitchen staff. I ordered the MOFONGO MIXTO (Mixed Mofongo), which is crispy green plantains mashed with garlic and olive oil, paired with chicharrón, chicken, or cheese. It was solid--rich, tasty, and especially delicious with the salsa blanco, which was creamy and garlicky. That sauce was a first for me, and I loved it! While I've had mofongo that included rice and beans elsewhere, this version stood on its own nicely. A couple of notes: parking is a bit challenging, and I'd recommend placing your order through an app to help navigate any potential language barriers. Overall, a good experience, and I'd definitely give it another shot!

This is a brand new restaurant and bar that is conveniently located close to the Stamford train…read morestation. It is a family run establishment and having just opened, the place is super clean and super modern. There is a good amount of seating, so they can accommodate a large group easily. They are open late and on certain days, they have a DJ and the place turns into a club. The food was extremely fresh and is home cooked style. The chivo guisado was extremely juicy and the meat was so tender - falling off the bone. The pico pollo was great too and very well seasoned. Portions sizes were generous with very reasonable prices too. The staff are very friendly too. It's a nice place to come and enjoy some authentic Dominican food with some bottles of Presidente or cocktails. I recommend giving them a try. You will not be disappointed.

Came here around 6 PM on a Tuesday and lucked out with their b2g1 free taco special, which was a…read morenice bonus. I ordered the chicken tacos and enjoyed them. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and served on authentic corn tortillas with the traditional onion and cilantro toppings. While this isn't my absolute favorite tacos around, I do prefer this location over Casa Villa's other Stamford restaurant. The ambiance here is much nicer, with tasteful decor and a great outdoor patio that's perfect for enjoying a meal when the weather is nice. My only real complaint was the salsa. I'm a fan of traditional salsa verde, and their creamy version just wasn't for me. Other than that, the food was good, the vibe was welcoming, and the Tuesday special made it an even better value. Overall, it's a good spot for tacos, a relaxed atmosphere, and a casual meal with friends or family. I'd def come back on Taco Tuesday!

The fresh juices were delicious, and the Chicha Blanca was a unique treat (like a drinkable version of rice pudding). The arepas were fantastic with flavorful fillings. However, the highlight of the meal was definitely the Venezuelan-style hamburgers and hot dogs. They were absolutely massive, piled high with meat and toppings, and packed with flavor. The staff was incredibly kind, and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for the summer months.

I also did the shredded beef and plantain and beans grilled. Steak and cheese arepa was the star, so crispy, juicy steak, cheese seared. I could eat it dinner every time. The other arepa was decent, it just had the mistake of going second, shredded beef felt slightly dry. It was al little pricier than expected, the steak was 14 and the shredded beef was 11. Will be back to try other dishes!

I want to start with the fact that our food was delicious. We weren't planning on coming here…read moretonight, but walking by, someone sitting in the window had a huge plate of calamari that looked delicious, so we decided to go in, sit at the bar and get some calamari. We walked in and sat at the bar. Andres was very attentive and friendly. we ordered a Pisco Sour and pisco punch and calamari. All good. then my husband decided he wanted ceviche and I ordered chaufa de pollo, and then Tallarines Verdes(to bring home). Our drinks were very good. It took a long time for our food to come because our food was given to someone else. They were apologetic and said they'd give us some special drink pricing. But it was interesting to hear them tell the people next to us that they didn't have to pay for the food that they were accidentally given, even though they sat there and ate the entire thing, while we were the ones waiting and it wasn't even their food! The calamari(although MUCH smaller portion that what we saw at other tables and other people at the bar) and ceviche. the chaufa de pollo were very good. We ate. bit of all and took a lot home. Except my husband ate all of the ceviche... The owner came over and apologized about the wait/error. We got the bill, it was the wrong bill, I told him and he gave us the right one, but no discount or drink special on it... we paid and left. Again food was good, but service from the kitchen was spotty.

The Chupe De Camerones is just so delicious. The half chicken was perfect and they make the best lomo saltado. Yellow sauce on everything. I will say our bread they brought out wasn't toasty like it used to be and the yellow sauce was very cold so bringing those closer to room temp would be ideal. Still five stars. Friendly wait staff!

And finally the beef patty, this was just what I was looking for! Customer service was on point and cant wait to go back for more. I want to try the oxtail, the goat, and the rice. This place hit the spot and brought me back to life!

TRAAAASH I walked in…read moreand asked for two of the $5 specials. I did this by saying "can I have two of the $5 Specials" While assembling the order, the woman behind the counter asked a couple of questions that sounded like standard options (rice, beans, sauce), and I said yes. There was no indication these would increase the price- or that what she was asking me was different than what I ordered. When she showed me the total, it was $37. I questioned it and repeated that I asked for the $5 specials, unsure of how confusion was even possible. Her attitude was rude, dismissive, and honestly uncomfortable. She seemed smug & happy with herself when she told me that the special was "jerk chicken rice - you got jerk chicken" **which I never asked for** At that point I was hungry and she wasn't worth the argument or energy, so I paid. Nothing on the menu reasonably adds up to what I was charged. What an absolutely psychotic experience. Food was ok at best.
