Disappointing Experience - Service Needs Serious Improvement…read more Unfortunately, my experience at Mia was disappointing from beginning to end. Upon arriving, we waited approximately 10 minutes before anyone came to greet or seat us, despite there being several empty tables. Once seated, we weren't provided with silverware, and getting something as simple as water took entirely too long. Ironically, our chips and dip arrived before our water. The service continued to be extremely slow and inattentive. We waited an unreasonable amount of time for someone to take our order and eventually had to flag down our waiter just to place it. What made this even more frustrating was that the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. As for the food, the flavor was good, but that was about the only positive. Our meals arrived barely warm, and the portion sizes were disappointing. I understand that every establishment can have an off day, but basic hospitality and attentive service should not be optional, especially when the restaurant isn't crowded. Good food can bring customers through the door, but great service is what brings them back. Unfortunately, Mia missed the mark. This music was a great mix of modern music with some old school hits. Music wasnt too loud. The food was decent, but certainly not worth returning for given the overall experience. I hope management takes this feedback constructively because there is definitely room for improvement.

They always have a good energy towards everyone. The place itself is not so big so I highly recommend calling just in case they have a full house. Every time I've gone, we just walk in and there's always a spot so definitely stop by if you're in the area! The food itself is 10/10 in portion and quality. They never rush the food but we don't wait forever either- just don't expect it to be quick. It's not the cheapest food but it's worth it! Per person I would say $25 minimum. The natural juices here are out of this world. It's a must always! I 100% recommend coming to this place if you're debating it or are in the area.

There is a nice bar set up with plenty of dining seating We started off with white wine, sangrias, a mango margarita, and a mango jalapeño, margarita. The drinks had just enough kick to them, and they were all very tasty. The jalapeño mango was my favorite as I like a more spicy and sweet kick. We got chips and salsa and tableside guacamole made right in front of us! The salsa came out, warm, which I wasn't used to, but it was very good. It reminded me of the habichuelas (beans) when you make spanish white rice and beans. There were also fried plantains mixed in with the chips, which was a nice treat. I got the tacos de birria and a side of tostones and others got steak fajitas, a chicken quesadilla, and tostadas de carne. All of the food came out fresh and everything was very good. Our server was very friendly in accommodating and made the night flow easily. The bar was bit backed up, so our drinks took a while, but everything came out as it should.

I loved the chips served with three different salsa/dipping options. One is hot! I won't tell you which one, why ruin the fun? I ordered the shrimp and mushroom quesadilla in corn tortillas. My husband had a pork burrito. I skipped the refried beans only because I didn't know if they were vegetarian safe. The margaritas were refreshing and had more of a natural orange flavor rather than that heavy, syrupy fake-lime taste--which I really appreciated! It's a little bit of a drive for us to get there, but the food was delicious enough that we'll definitely be back. The bathroom was also clean, which is always a plus! I love the Mexican music that was playing in the background too.

This is our second visit to Montanita and it was just as delicious as our first!…read more Before moving to Middletown, we lived in New Haven and were lucky enough to live around the corner from Mezcal, regularly lauded as one of the best and most authentic Mexican restaurants in Connecticut. We like all the local Mexican spots here in our new hometown, but so far Montanita is the only one that compares to Mezcal. It's amazing!! They have a wide range of favorites and unique dishes. Perfect margaritas. Great happy hour deals. We've tried the chicken stew, burritos, faijitas, ceviche, and some sides and all were delicious and full of flavor. Ask for their special sauce which is out of this world. Service is charming and attentive. Lovely atmosphere. Our new favorite place! Give it a try!!

MamaJuana Cafe in Waterbury is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt…read morewarm, lively, and inviting. It is the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy a delicious meal, listen to great music, and truly have a memorable night out. The background music made the experience even better, with Chayanne's "Bailando Bachata," Romeo Santos, Nicky Jam, and other amazing Latin artists creating the perfect upbeat, feel-good vibe. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Our waitress, Angie, was wonderful--friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in throughout the meal without ever making us feel rushed. The entire staff was welcoming and attentive, which made the experience feel even more special. We began with the Empanadas de Queso, and they were easily a perfect 10! They were fried to a beautiful golden crisp without being overcooked, with a light, flaky exterior and a warm, perfectly blended cheese filling. The cheese was savory, creamy, and melted perfectly with every bite. The sauce served on the side was the extra touch that took them to another level--so flavorful and delicious that it left us wishing there was more. This appetizer is an absolute must-order. The Yuca Bites were another highlight. They were crispy on the outside while remaining soft, warm, and tender inside. The seasoning was just right--flavorful without overpowering the natural, comforting taste of the yuca. Every bite had a satisfying crunch followed by a smooth, buttery texture, making them incredibly easy to keep reaching for. They were simple, well prepared, and full of delicious flavor. The Rice and Green Pigeon Peas was also very good. It was not the traditional Puerto Rican-style rice and peas, but it had its own delicious flavor and character. The rice was fluffy, nicely seasoned, and complemented by the hearty, earthy taste of the green pigeon peas. It was a satisfying side that paired beautifully with the rest of the meal. The Salmon Fettuccini was outstanding. The salmon was cooked perfectly--tender, moist, and flaky, never dry or overdone. It blended beautifully with the fettuccini and flavorful sauce, creating a comforting dish with a wonderful balance of creamy pasta, savory seasoning, and fresh salmon. The flavors came together so well that every forkful was just as enjoyable as the first. For dessert, we had the Tres Leches and Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream. The portions were on the smaller side, but they were still absolutely delicious and the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The Tres Leches was moist, soft, and wonderfully rich, with that classic sweet, milky flavor that melts in your mouth. The Bread Pudding was warm, comforting, and full of sweet, spiced flavor, while the scoop of vanilla ice cream added a smooth, creamy contrast as it slowly melted over the top. Both desserts were satisfying and definitely worth ordering. Overall, MamaJuana Cafe delivered an amazing dining experience. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the music and atmosphere made the night feel fun and memorable. Angie and the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and well cared for. We are already planning our return and cannot wait to go back on a night when the DJ is there for an even more energetic and festive experience. If you are looking for flavorful food, attentive service, great Latin music, and a welcoming atmosphere in Waterbury, MamaJuana Cafe is a place you absolutely need to experience!

I've been here three times and keep forgetting to leave a review but here it is!…read more I can't break it down by dish since I've been here a few times and have tried a few things from their menu but highly recommend you visit. Location is great, lots of parking and it feels safe. Inside the restaurant there is a lot of space and the way it's set up makes it feel very open. They always play Spanish music which is one of the reasons I love coming here. Make me feel like I'm on vacation LOL! As a girl there's a lot of cute places to take pictures. This spot is cute to come with your girlfriends. The birthday song the play is so fun and really gets everyone excited. The service is a bit inconsistent- there have been times I've gone and they're not really too friendly or personable and then there are times that they're very friendly. I went yesterday and our waiter was William and he was so fun, he was dancing while taking our order :) I love love their food. It's always an explosion of flavor. This time when I went it stood out to me more, I had just had dinner at Don Coqui in Edgewater the night before and WOW!! If you ever thought about Don Coqui please save yourself the drive, money and stress cuz Mamajuana is where it's at!!! Their food is 100x better than Don Coqui. Their drinks are always on point and service is generally fast. Highly recommend this place. Great for birthdays or just any occasion. You'll surely have a great time! I dare you to not dance in your seat while you eat LOL ***PS- they do not share this info when walking in BUT they will charge a fee for using credit card. I think it's bs and their only downfall. I'd understand it if they were a small little restaurant cuz those merchant fees suck but they're a pretty big location so they should be able to handle those and I don't think it's ethical that they do not disclose this info anywhere. So BEWARE. I believe it's like a $5 difference from paying cash.
