Fantastic environment, service and food. We are a party of two that came here around 5:30 on a Saturday and stayed till around 7. Very warm ambience great for a date night or just to hang out with some friends. Not crowded at all the entire time, which was surprising tbh. Nice music also. Got the ceviche, steak a la macho (came with calamari, mussels and clams which I preferred) and Jalea. Highly recommend all of them. We would have definitely tried more dishes if we had bigger appetites (we didnt even finish it all - very good portion sizes). Will be back! read more

Mama Pisco - Latin American Near Me - Maspeth, New York

Came here at 2:50pm... waited for them to open and then sat outside and waited another 20min past their opening time because no one ever came to actually open the restaurant on time. (We also called twice and no one picked up) Husband and I ended up leaving to another place to eat since this business can't open in time. We have been wanting to try this place forever but this is just unacceptable. You guys lost business today. read more

Food: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 11/10 The ceviche blew my mind. The Lomo Saltado was delish! Friends enjoyed their drinks very much. read more

Great food, drinks, and ambience! Such a cute place to unwind and relax. They had wonderful music and a DJ on site!

FINALLY somewhere for good drinks in this neighborhood! I'm so glad i discovered Mama Pio because their drinks are great and food is delicious. They have a 2 for $14 margarita/pisco sour special during happy hour, but their happy hour times aren't really set so ask about this! I do wish they had a smaller happy hour menu though for smaller bites. Overall, however, the ambiance is cozy and casual, good for a date or hang, and def for a good drink! read more

The best place, good and drinks. I'm recommending. The best seafood and good environment

Very nice , comfy little spot. Very good service to go along with some wonderful Flavors. The chicken was juicy and tender and the drinks were fruit but strong. Been here about 10 times since and will continue to order from this spot! read more

Amazing experience every time. When I want to get an authentic meal and vibe I always come to Maspeth to eat and drink here. We showed up without a reservation to celebrate my friends who got engaged. The service from Angelica, was amazing our server was so attentive and when I requested special accommodations for my meal as I am highly sensitive to garlic and onion she made sure to check with the chef 3X to confirm they would make my meal without that. I really hate being the picky person but I was happy they were able to accommodate a medical diet without a surcharge. Also, we came on mariachi night which I was not expecting and it was PHENOMENAL. As a Mexican I 10000% appreciate how cultural it felt. Thanks for the experience and exceptional service! read more

I had high expectations for this restaurant. Everything was copacetic until a roach fell on my mothers face while eating. My boyfriend and I literally witnessed this with our own eyes. I was truly disgusted afterwards. I killed the roach with a napkin, presented it to our server, peeped her talking to the manager about the situation, came back to our table, repeatedly apologized and offered to give a "discount" on our bill. I was highly annoyed that the MANAGER never came to our table to apologize or handle the situation himself. Super unprofessional. Please do better as to hospitality, service, management and extermination for this establishment read more

Mama Pisco - Ceviche - Latin American Near Me - Maspeth, New York

Cute out door seating in the front! Tables were evenly spaced out with plexiglass glass in between. Not super packed on a Friday night at 745pm ! I'm butchering the name of the dish but we ordered the creamy shredded chicken breast over rice and the steak with pesto pasta! Details in their menu. It was delicious!! You can adjust the level of spice in the chicken. The pesto pasta was super creamy!! We also had the frozen margarita!! It wasn't too sweet: just the way we wanted! The female waitresses were sweet and patient! They offered opinions on their dishes and were very accommodating! The biggest negative we have to say was the bill. It was a party of two and without saying anything the "manager/bartender" adjusted our bill and put a custom 20% tip. The waitresses were super apologetic. the manager told us he would change it and explained he adjusted to help out the waitresses. He also said no one ever complained but us. It put a bad taste to a rather excellent dinner. We were going to pay over %15 percent Bc the waitresses were so great. But we felt like our hand was forced. There were no signs saying this ahead of time. And his explanation of trying to help the waitresses made me feel like why aren't you paying them a higher salary! Yes in the end, we would come again! Food was great! That was the only negative ! There should be a sign . read more

Great little spot in Maspeth, Queens. Service is great. Seating inside or outside which is covered. We ordered the chicken empanadas which were okay but a little dry. The Yuca fries are decent. I ordered the ceviche which was delicious and large portion we also had the soup with shrimp not sure what it was called but have the picture, very good lots of shrimp and bud portion as well. We could have shared the entrees. They do have a very small selection of wine. Dessert was a flan which again was not bad obviously pre-made. Overall a very good meal but definitely pricey for what we ordered. Very hard to park though. read more

The staff were unwelcoming and did not even greet or smile at me when I entered the Resto. The roast chicken took forever to cook. I came back 30 minutes later and after I paid for my to go order I was told that it would take another hour. I cancelled my order and got my refund, but not the tip I gave for shabby service. read more

This is my second time at Mama Pisco, and I can't say enough good things about the restaurant. I visited with my Wife on Monday and we were seated promptly. The music playing was mostly salsa in the background at a level where you can still speak to the person you are dining with which was great. The restaurant is clean and our orders came within a reasonable time. We ordered the Jalea , and a side order of vegeterian arroz chaufa. The portions were big and the price is reasonable for the amount of food that you get. The fish was fresh and the rice was cooked to perfection. We also ordered the Pisco sours which are a must if visiting. Viviana gave us outstanding service and advised us of the specials of the day when we were seated. Overall Mama Pisco is a 10/10 and I would highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

Really good customer service from Valentina and the steak a lo macho is to die for i definitely recommend

Nice little place with good food, service and a good vibe. Cocktails are great too! Looking forward to going back

Just right off the bat, Mamá Pío is doing two things right: bringing an updated take on Latin American foods and providing some relief to a food deprived hood like Maspeth. Contemporary yet casual, MP is clean, inviting, and surprisingly roomy despite looking small from the outside. There are long wooden, almost communal like tables that are perfect for groups and seats along the window for people watching. Their open kitchen is similar to the interior of the place: bright, fresh, and clean (with an A rating to prove it!). The menu is a mix of Latin American classics, ranging from Peruvian to Colombian, and all revolving around the infamous pollo a la brasa, aka rotisserie chicken. (#1) They offer the chicken ($4.50-$11.50) either in the regular rotisserie or fried and have meals with whole, half, and quarter pieces of chicken. I have to admit, I have had some inconsistency with my rotisserie -- some instances have been very tasty and some have been uneventful. No matter, if they're open and I'm hungry, I'm eating it. The Pio Platters of chicken have been particularly interesting to me. They have a Curry Pio ($8.50), Grilled Pio a la chicken breast ($9), and a very tasty chicken soup ($3.50). The spare ribs ($12) may be the priciest single item on the menu, but it is surprisingly addicting. I still haven't tried the "amazing" Pinyin Fried Rice ($12-17) yet, but I hope to try it at some point. (#2) Another aspect of the menu is very American BBQ-esque. From the aforementioned ribs to the burgers (beef or chicken - $8.50), they also sport some fun sides such as mashed potatoes, grilled corn, and mac and cheese. They do offer sides of the ají (#3) at .50 cents per a *tiny* thimble of a container and the quinoa is a sweet mix of cilantro, cranberries, and veggies. The Mama's Beans is more of a bean soup if anything, and it's very good. There is breakfast, which mainly caters to the palate of the neighborhood with items like eggs with Irish bacon and/or sausage, along with ham and other morning meats. There are also omelettes as well and a small variety of baked goods. I enjoy my breakfast with one of their Colombian style arepas. They offer delivery and the service is pretty good for the most part. I think the pricing / portion (at least with the many of the sides) may be a slight turnoff for some folks who are used to much cheaper options in Sunnyside / Woodside / Jackson Heights, but there is never much going on in Maspeth. Parking is not much of an issue ever here but public transport is always a challenge. I am hopeful they'll up their game as time goes on. __________ (#1) Hence the name, Mamá Pío. (#2) The name is confusing. Gives off "alphabet soup" vibes. (#3) That super addicting crack like green sauce that all Pio spots have. read more

Holy food from the motherland!!! Being Peruvian I love trying different restaurants and seeing how they bring authentic dishes to life & the flavors they add. Mama pisco did just that. There was not an appetizer, entree or dessert that we didn't enjoy. From start to finish my tastebuds were jumping for joy. The apps I absolutely loved was the tiradito, causa de pollo, and the jalea! The jalea is an entree but being that we were a big group it was a nice appetizer for the table to share! It's hard to come across jalea that isn't over cooked and seasoned well, but this place nailed it. The tiradito was sliced fish in a citrus sauce that was SO FLAVORFUL. The entrees that I enjoyed the most were the Tallarines Verdes Con Bistec and Ají de gallina. Let me tell you I've been to many Peruvian places that ruin ají de gallina for me but this place made me feel like I was eating this dish made by my grandma. The tallarines was also extremely creamy and delicious ! Now the Dessert I recommend all of them! The Alfajores were buttery and soft, and the Copa 3 Chocolate was their take on chocolate mousse that had a crunchy wafer in it that was to die for ! Let's just say you have to go check this place out ASAP!! The staff was also extremely attentive and they accommodated food allergies ! What are you waiting for for try this place out, Don't say i didn't tell ya!! read more

Great service, okay food. Portions were big, comparatively, which matched the price. Good ambiance. Good local find.

I was hesitant to try a new Peruvian restaurant outside of my local neighborhood and usual lineup due to the Friday traffic and usual concern to lose an evening meant for a relaxing delicious meal on with a disappointment. But I'm so glad I took the leap of faith once again. Mama Pisco did not disappoint. From the Tiradito to the Papas Huancaina as starters to their Cerviche Mixto and Chaufa Mixto. Everything was cooked perfectly and from my past experiences with other Latin restaurants salty but with my dinner tonight not the case. For dessert we opted for the Tres Leches and it was very good. Not too sweet and a good finish to the night. Lastly, their Pisco Sours were very good. We had both the original and their Passion Fruit flavor and both were excellent. Definitely a repeat and worth the drive. Friday night is their live music and Karaoke night after 7:30 so perhaps a added reason to visit again. read more
