    Menu changes daily!

    Nom nom. The food here is wonderfully fresh and tasty, and Maria is a delight. I ordered the slow cooked brisket sandwich for my hub, and it came on a torts bun (like ciabatta bread) with chips drizzled with a yummy sauce. I tried the spicy shrimp tacos, and the shrimp was so fresh and plump and had a nice but not too spicy kick. Have been here in the past and tried the feijoada and samosas, and she also makes empanadas. I recommend that when you don't know what you're hungry for, just stop in here and check the menu. I'm sure you'll find something you'll love, along with the friendliest service.

    Maria's Kitchen!

    Don't judge a book by it's cover. The food here is DELICIOUS! I've tried the Cuban, empanadas, and the Shrimp Tacos (on separate visits of course) - all were incredibly fresh and delicious. Maria is so friendly and throws down in the kitchen!! Great, personable customer service makes each visit amazing. I think the menu changes sometimes but I'm sure whatever you order will be tasty! I plan on trying the Goan burger next!

    Goan Veggie Club Sandwich Delicious!!
    Karen P.

    We went for late lunch after the rush. Maria came out to greet me and my parents. Mom had the Cuban sandwich, dad had the chicken enchilada, and I had the Goan veggie club sandwich with the veggie soup. The Cuban had lean cuts of meat. It was very good. The chicken enchilada was better than expected. It had a bit of spice, but it is not overpowering. The Goan veggie sandwich and soup were delicious. It has a refreshing flavor and filled with cucumber, potato, a few onions.

    In the back of the family-owned neighborhood store. Maria is AMAZING! Hands down the best shrimp tacos we've ever had. Carnitas tacos fantastic too! I also had to try the pumpkin spice cheesecake blondie that was very good as well. Definitely worth a drop in.

    Marie makes awesome food! Brazilian feijoada (black beans and sausage over rice), spicy shrimp tacos, Cuban sandwich, chicken enchiladas, curry - it's all great. Don't be put off by the outward appearance of the store, the food is too good to miss. Get there at 11:00 AM and beat the "crowd" (it's too small to hold a crowd - lol)

    Spicy shrimp tacos and beef nachos!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sweet mamma jamma. This place is amazing. I went in around 3:45 pm so it was quiet and my food was ready quickly. The food area is pretty nondescript but everything appeared to be clean. Maria met me at the counter and explained the menu. I called my wife and we settled on the beef nachos and the spicy shrimp tacos and we were so impressed with both. My wife, who considers herself to be somewhat of an officiaNACHO, says these are the best nachos she has had since we moved to Greenville in August. Maria informed me that everything was handmade and the shrimp were brought in from Charleston and never frozen. We will be back for sure....maybe tomorrow!!

    Cuban

    Everything you've heard is true. Don't sleep on Maria Gomes' neighborhood bodega! Got the Cuban and some of her Spicy Shrimp Tacos. Both were perfect in about every way. I'll be back. A lot.

    One of the specials today- a curry dish over rice w/shrimp potatoes. Maria adds a Portuguese flair into her Indian home cooking.

    Only the locals know about this hidden gem. Maria is a fabulous cook and will make sure you are very happy with your meal...you'll be coming back again. There are new specials daily, but usually I just ask her what's good. She will whip you up some of the best Indian/Portuguese home cooking that you will have!!! Make sure you get a samosa too! She will know your name by your third time coming back!

    Spicy shrimp tacos and chicken soup
    Ashwin A.

    Fresh, delectable, home-made, Portuguese/Cuban/Indian food. Maria is an brilliant cook and an engaging conversationalist. You'll never get bored with her company and she'll make sure you're fully satisfied with your meal... Her chicken soup and spicy shrimp tacos made my day!

    Absolutely stunning, a tier above everything in like a ten mile radius. This takes delicious…read moreColombia classics and elevates them with fresh ingredients and flair. The food is *excellent*, the starters are great, the cocktails are delicious, we haven't had one dud on any menu item. The only complaint is the location, and *maybe* some of the servers don't have so much English, but in a place like this, that's charm and it's never been a problem. The host is helpful and energetic, the interior is charming and interesting. If this was in Asheville, or Biltmore Square, it would be going gangbusters. Just a great place, cannot recommend this one enough.

    Oh man. I have been missing out…read more I love me a Colombian restaurant. The combo of meat, rice, beans, empanadas and chimichurri sauce is always a nice plate. Juancho has super friendly staff and exciting flame filled kitchen plus all the Colombian dishes you crave. Plus fried rices, soups and a lonon saltado. We got this epic "appetizer" plate piled with fried meats and starches and garlic tomatoes. Circle up on that with some beers and you have a party. The seafood coconut soup was decadent. Plus a bunch of vegan items. Smart for such a meat heavy spot to have some offerings for your vegan loved ones. I will be back.
