    White rice & bistec
    Chelsie F.

    The chicken mofongo app was amazing!! The white rice and bistec encebollado was amazing as well with side of tostones. Also got the Pina colada as a drink, needless to say, I'm returning for another plate and more drinks

    Carne de rez, white rice, beans and basic salad.

    I have come here a few times to pick up mofongo as take out. I ordered today and woman who took my order (which I believe was owner) Told me food would be ready in 30 minutes. I get there in 40 and I tell front desk girl I am picking up mofongo and she stares at me as if I have 10 heads, asks if I called and asks for my complete order. She heads to the back and comes out to tell me "whoever you put order with left and I just got here. They never put order in". I end up ordering a plate of food which was about $12 of carne de rez with white rice and beans. She emphasized it was a big order. I get food and it was equivalent to what I could get at any other spot in providence as a $6 plate. She left my food on bar and didn't even hand to me, never mind apologized for inconvenience. Food is ok, but overpriced as far as what I got today. But I won't be coming back due to customer service.

    First time there with my family. Excellent service and food was very tasteful as well as drinks, only a tad bit pricey is my only complaint

    Arroz con chicharrón pollo  This dish is fabulous! Tender crispy flavorful chicken strips cooked to perfection!

    So I was browsing on yelp For a place to eat mind you I'm super picky. However these mouth watering photos came up from Mamajuana. I invited my sister and let me just say the out side location doesn't justify the amount of LOVE that's goes into each dish prepared. As they say NEVER judge a book by its cover. Want food to satisfy your taste buds?? MAMAJUANA is the place to be! And the prices are Unbelievable can't beat AMAZING food and wonderful price. Thank you Vanessa and I definitely kissed the chef! this place is a Hidden GEM

    Super affordable for the amount of food and how delicious it was.

    Amazing food with great service. I had the shrimp stuffed chicken breast and my boyfriend had the chicken cordonbleu. Both meals came with rice beans and a salad. I have noooo complaints neither did my boyfriend we will absolutely be coming back! Sadly I only took a video and unable to upload it here, so you will just have to try it for yourself you won't be disappointed!!

Toppings. I opted for a build-your-own bowl, starting with jollof rice as my base and steak for my protein. Both were so good, I could have had them standalone. But when you mix in lettuce, cucumbers, jalapeños, and corn, plus Auntie's Spicy Mayo and Garlic White Sauce, this bowl was truly next level. When fresh meets saucy, it's a 10/10 for me. I tend to get a bit creative with build-your-own experiences, but everything came together so well with the peppers and seasoning. I can't wait to try their signature bowls - don't fret, there are plenty of great options to choose from if mine sounded a bit all over the place ;) We ordered plantains as well - sweet, fresh, and the perfect texture. No complaints here; these were such a treat and paired so well with the bowl. Honestly, I'd have them standalone too. Though I took the bowl to-go, the dining room had ample seating and was well-kept. I loved the chill patio vibes and would definitely dine in on my next visit. You may have to opt for street parking if the lot is full, but Auntie's House is absolutely worth the visit for a hearty, saucy, flavor-packed bowl.

Parking can be challenging especially seeing this restaurant runs on Lonsdale Ave a busy street in itself. The line was out the door and that's where I stood waiting patiently. The love moves at a decent pace. Here finally my turn and I honestly had no clue what to expect or what they even really sold but I was hoping they had anything that contained ham and cheese and they did, Brad with ham and cheese for $3.50 I was surprised that was all. They do gave finger foods, drinks coffee and fruit drinks, breads, pastries of many sorts. I was tempted to get a pastry but I stayed focused. The bread was actually good and tasted fresh they only concern which was a big one for me was that there was hardly any ham and cheese in it and I mean like barely none. I could have actually went with just bread as that's what I felt I received. Would I return maybe especially if I am in mood for something g sweet as the variety was plenty to choose from. There is a sit down area on both sides of the restaurant with one big screen tv. This place seems more of a grab and go type establishment. They open at 5:00am and close at I believe 9:00 pm

I don't speak much Spanish so used to get intimidated going into order but the food is just so good, it was worth every trip. Great news is that they just got an online ordering platform! You can order right online for pick up and bypass the long line out the door. The place is always busy but worth the wait, I would definitely suggest ordering online if you are in a rush. They don't have much parking but I always somehow find street parking. It's a very casual place with cafeteria style seating. I get the chicken with potato empanadas, beef empanadas, with their homemade hot sauce. They also have a ton of pastries. All homemade DELICIOUS!

This place is massive, with lots of tables to dine in, and a bakery section. We ordered the following: Mondongo (pequeño), bandeja paisa, lengua sudada, and res apanada. The food came out in about 20 minutes. The serving sizes were a little bigger than normal (I am not complaining), every plate looked delicious, and all the plates were hot and fresh. The mondongo was tasty and had a good amount of tripe and the right thickness of the broth. I chuckled when I saw the side of banana, but honestly, it made for a good desert. The bandeja paisa brings a litte bit of everything and it all was cooked well. The lengua sudada was very tender and flavorful and the yucca was soft, with the sauce it was in giving it a really good flavor. The res apanada was a bit tough and the breading did not stick on too well, but overall the flavor was good and the breading was crispy which I enjoyed. The best part of it all was the prices. It is very affordable and you will leave full.   The bakery is inexpensive and the items I have tried and good. They do have a large parking lot and it's free. While in the area, you could visit the Slater Mill (they have tours you could sign up for) or visit the public library. One thing to note is that the GPS might bring you to their old location a couple blocks up the street, so do a little bit of research for the address beforehand.

The smell coming from the restaurant was amazing, so I decided to give it a try. My first experience was excellent--a gentleman helped me, explained the menu, and the food was incredible. Unfortunately, every visit after that has been disappointing. The service has been consistently unwelcoming. I often feel like I'm an inconvenience rather than a paying customer. Since I'm not familiar with all of the combination plates, I ask questions, but instead of being helped, I'm charged separately for everything and receive very small portions. I hate to say it, but as someone who isn't Hispanic, I've often felt like I wasn't welcome there. Whether that's intentional or not, that's how the experience has made me feel. No customer should leave feeling like they don't belong. I drive from Providence because the food is genuinely that good, but great food can only make up for poor customer service for so long. Sadly, I won't be returning. I truly hope they work on making every customer feel welcome because the food deserves the same quality of service.
