    Lechon Kawali Meal, Dinuguan, Turon
    Ray M.

    As a Filipino I give this the authentic seal of approval. The turon and lechon were crispy, and the lechon meal came with lechon sauce (which is basically their home made mang tomas sauce) and two servings of rice. The sauce tasted slightly tangy and garlicky, going great with the crispy and juicy lechon. The dinuguan was also good, with a hint of a vinegar taste, just how I like it. The turon also had some langka (jackfruit) in it which is my absolute favvvv. Mama Rosa is also a convenient place to get snacks!! This isn't just a place to eat, but you can shop as well. Their shop is a bit small, but it has a good selection of nostalgic snacks (at least for me) like shrimp chips, boy bawang, polvoron, etc. they also sell bakery stuff like pandesal, leche flan, bibingka, etc. The store is not pet friendly, but service dogs are allowed. There IS outside seating with shade, so I'm guessing you can bring your dog there. The staff was friendly and answered questions well! We would gladly come back again to grab something that we're too lazy to make at home like lechon.

    Loved my experience at Mama Rosa's! My husband and I both agreed that we'd finally found a spot in Baltimore to satisfy our Filipino fix! The staff is so incredibly welcoming. We arrived at 6:45pm on a Friday night not realizing they closed at 8pm so we made a plan of attack as quickly as we could and got ready to eat. We ended up ordering an amount of food appropriate for 8 people, despite there only being 3 of us. Not to worry, nothing was wasted! We had plenty to take home but this also afforded us the opportunity to try many things! Lumpia was a favorite and the BBQ pork paired with the garlic rice was definitely a dish I would order again. We loved the sizzling sisig. The surprise for me was how much I loved the side of pickled papaya and veggies. So good! Mama Rosa's also has a small market with various goodies. I bought some dried mango, shrimp crackers, shampoo and biko. Don't sleep on this casual, authentic spot!

    I have been searching for good Lumpia since moving to Maryland. I am happy to say that I have found some. This is a small establishment that has both dine in and take away. They also have a small grocery section. The staff was nice and it was pretty clean overall.

    Sweet and sour fish with chicken Adobo

    Stopped here on a whim for take out dinner one day. Plenty of choices in the hot prepared foods case. I ended up with the sweet and sour fish with chicken Adobo. The chicken was ok, I'm not a fan of cut bones in my food and it was not very spicy. The fish dish was better and I'd order that again. Garlic rice was pleasant but I found myself wishing for a better side dish.

    "Paborito" a Filipino word that means favorite. This is definitely one of my favorite Filipino low key restaurants/markets in the DMV area. Honey and no frills ambiance. The best part of their breakfast meals is the free pork sinigang soup that comes with it. On your way out you get to shop your usual Filipino snacks from Cheese Ice Cream to Hopias. Service is good as your kanayana will make sure to prep and serve your meal in a timely manner.

    A treasured Filipino restaurant in the baltimore county area. Every time I come here, it feels like home. I love that they also sell groceries to help when I'm in the mood to both eat Filipino food and get all my ingredients. Service is friendly and plenty of seating. My go to sit down restaurant for when I'm craving quick Filipino food.

    I just ordered today 12/16 around 6:30pm... I ordered crispy pata with garlic rice to go, i went home so my fiancée and i could enjoy it, but i was shocked that it was burned so i called them and told them, The old guy who cooked and cut it was rude and just said ok! And said thats how their crispy pata is... We have been ordering the same thing quite a few times and it never looked like this. This is ridiculous! Specially when i paid $25 for this and for it to be burnt is unacceptable!!! Go to James Fiesta Grill! Their crispy pata is wayyyyy better than this! Instead of saying im sorry or how can we help, He just hung up the phone. Anyways Please don't order crispy pata here!

    Made an unplanned visit in the morning and found out that they will cook whatever you want. The usual foods were not out yet so we ordered some lechon to go. It was amazing freshly prepared!! We should have bought two containers as we devoured most of it on the way home. There are now plenty of tables to eat in and there are outside tables as well.

    Delicious Lumpiang Shanghai & Rice Noodles (Pancit Bihon)! Yum!
    Tear S.

    Mama Rosa has been around for years, now. I knew about this little Middle River gem for a while and was finally able to make a visit. Mama's is a Filipino grocery shop and restaurant that features delicious snacks and meals from the Pacific Island. My coworkers have spoiled me for years with delicious Filipino dishes. Fast forward to a recent Friday. I had a taste for some delicious pancit. I asked a few of my friends on where to go and they told me to go to Mama's. I perused the menu and although I had the option to call my order in or order online, I went straight to the shop. The owners were so very nice and endearing. They made me feel comfortable, especially since it was my first time visiting. I ordered pancit, with a combination of shredded chicken & shrimp, and an order of crispy, crunchy lumpia. The order would take about ten minutes to prepare, so I walked around the shop. They have SO MANY varieties of snacks, sauces and homemade desserts. It was so cool! From shrimp chips to purple sweet potato ice cream with cheese, the options were vast. Anyhoo, after receiving my order, I headed home. The first thing I noticed was how much food they give! For the decent price, I had more than enough food for 2-3 people! The pancit was flavorful and so good. The shrimp were fresh and the shredded chicken was also tasty. My favorite part of the whole meal, however, was the LUMPIA!!! It was absolutely delicious! My mouth is watering thinking about it now! It comes in twelve petite pieces of crispy, crunchy rolls filled with seasoned pork. I ate the whole portion that night! That is a highly recommended menu item, in my opinion. All in all, I cannot wait to go back to try the other dishes. I have my eyes on the pork adobo and of course, more lumpia. If you're looking for homemade tasting Filipino food, by all means, make Mama Rosa's your first stop.

The latte was little on the sweet side for me, but the flavor was decent. The breakfast sandwich I got on an asiago bagel, and it was pure deliciousness. The chicken sausage was seasoned nicely, and the asiago bagel was so soft and pillowy. I thoroughly enjoyed this sandwich. And the muffin was quite tasty too. With so many items to try on Joanna's menu and their good customer service, I'll definitely be back to try some other things when I'm in the area.

The entire place has been updated and expanded and there is still more work in progress. We arrived around five on a very busy St. Patrick's for dinner. We were meeting very good friends and were excited to spend some time together. The decor was so fun and the place was hopping. Even though all of the staff seemed to be extremely busy, we were allowed to wait for a table that would seat us comfortably while being a bit out of the way of the hubbub. The redone U-shaped bar area is very large with plenty of seating at the bar and around it. There are multiple long, high top tables too. The other side of the restaurant is filled with booths and tables with plenty of room to accommodate any size party. I saw tables that fit at least 10 people there. There is also an outdoor area that is under construction, but looks like it will be a very nice addition to the bar. Now on to the food and the drinks. They had so many specials for St. Patrick's Day and a large variety of them too rather than just the typical corned beef and cabbage or Ruben's. They had lots of other Irish delicacies like shepherds pie, and bangers and mash. They had all kinds of drink specials, including green margaritas, Guinness, and lots of other fancy drinks to choose from. They have plenty of beers on top and basically a full bar where you can get anything to wet your whistle. I had a two guys burger, which was basically a bacon cheeseburger, and it was cooked to perfection (not to mention it was probably close to a half pound of ground beef on that burger) along with some fries and a salad. My friend had a Reuben, which she thought was very good. My husband who loves hot turkey sandwiches ended up getting one of those and a side salad too. It was made with fresh turkey and we all know how that kicks it up a notch. Other friend got the meatloaf, which was good, but there was cheese on top and he wasn't a big fan of that. They have daily specials with lots to choose from. We had the $1 wings and were delighted with the many choices of sauces. There were so many customers coming in constantly for their carry out, too. Everything was fresh. The prices were great. Everything was very tasty and the atmosphere was fun without being too noisy. We can't wait to go back and try it again soon.
