We have eaten at Mama Dees before and this past weekend my wife and I decided to get a sampling of empeñadas. We ordered on Friday to pick Saturday. The shop is clean, and they are always so friendly. The empeñadas we shared were Beef, Chicken, Philly Cheesesteak, Pastelonada, Pizza and Cubanada. They are all good, our favorites being the Beef, Chicken and the Philly Cheesesteak. For dessert we shared an Apple Empeñada, coated with cinnamon sugar. Yum! We also ordered the Pernil platter to share the next night. Tender pork along crispy yucca fries and delicious red beans which we mixed with an order of rice. (The attached photo also shows peas which we fixed at home.) Mama Dees food is good and that's bad Bad because it's so easy to walk down the block and overindulge.

Amazing authentic food from Puerto Rico. Mama Dee's is the place to eat. I promise you will enjoy every part of your meal from the food to the ambiance.

Love, love, LOVE Mama Dee's!! I normally get their empanadas (which are AMAZING!!), this time I ordered the pernil platter with sweet plantains and yellow rice with pease. Everything is fresh, flavorful and filling. The restaurant is really cute, and they have authentic Puerto Rican candies, plus their own line of soda.

So, if you need a quick fix because the tum tum is growling, but don't have the time to be seated…read morein a stuffy restaurant or just dont feel like the confines of walls here's the answer. A quality alternative that'll not only satisfy your hunger while your tatse buds dance in delight, but won't break the budget. The aroma of fresh fried or grilled food will lead you to the pink glow that once was a hot dog spot in Monroe. Now morphed into a satisfying affordable chow option beyond the stuffed skin persuasion. Ranging from chicken sammich options including balsamic and the devine chicken parm to the unique veggie Caprese with roasted red peppers and the killer bust buster steak sammy, hmm hmm. The best part is the prices average around only $6, so you can pick up your families or coworkers tab and feel like Papa Warbucks. If your lucky enough to spy the pink food truck at a local event, hurry and get in line before the crowd chow vultures beat you too it. You and your tummy will be happy you did, baby!

When another food truck cancelled on us the same day as our Breast Cancer Color Run, Food For All Food Truck saved the day. While they had limited time to prepare for our short- notice event, they still provided a fantastic menu and mouth-watering food. Every runner and every walker left the event with a smile on their face due to the amazing food. It takes special people to pull off what they did. Choose them for your next event! You truly will be happy that you did!

Met these guys at a local farmhouse movie night. If it wasn't so dark I would have added pictures…read morebecause the burger and wrap were gigantic! For the price I think you get a massive amount of food. I asked what he thought I needed to have. The menu was extensive. He pointed me to the burgers and loaded fries which all sounded amazing. I got a bacon burger and buffalo chicken wrap; both came with fries so I opted to pass on the loaded ones ( for now). I am glad I had 3 other people to help me eat it. The burger was awesome! Great flavor, tons of toppings, fresh lettuce, the bacon was nice and crispy too. Did I mention it was gigantic? Same with the wrap. Can't go wrong with buffalo chicken and the wrap had a nice crisp texture to it. I will be on the lookout for these guys again. Friendly staff and delicious food. Looking forward to trying much more!

Both owners are not respectful and clean. I saw one of the owners touch a dog, then make a burger…read more I saw the other guy pick his nose or roughly swipe his hand across his nose, then touched the bun of the burger. These guys run through chefs every year because of poor management and the food always changes even tho it's the same menu since they opened due to the food being cooked by a different chef everytime. I'll give them 1 star SIKEEEE I would give em half a star if I could. Washed up Food truck running on empathy, greed and spite. If YKYK.

My go-to is the Lifa - a hot dog with Mustard, Chili, Cheese and Raw Onions. There are plenty of other great selections but it all comes down to preference. Some cool and refreshing, others nice and savory. Last time I went she recommended the hot honey fries and they were so good! Her fries are always fried fresh so they're hot and crispy. If you ever drive by and see her truck, you must stop by. She's a great person and her food is delicious!

Nice sized lot to pull off the road and park for a quick bite, service is always friendly and personable. These are "dirty water dogs" done right. Meaty with a nice snap and a good amount of toppings (homemade). A variety of combo topped dogs but you can always order how you'd like them. Try the Chili with the Hot Pepper relish if you want a little tang and heat otherwise the regular chili is medium but seasoned well. Nikki's also does burgers and has fries and tots as well with occasional specials. Great option is they are also on Grubhub if you can't get to the lot as well.
