'Mamis' is an excellent Caribbean Latin traditional flavorful food…read more It's a family own restaurant, nice ambience and music. We enjoyed the variety and selection like tostones, Mofongo con camarones (shrimp), rice with brown peas, stew gizzards, empanadillas, fish con variety peppers and onions, salmon, pollo guisado and typical fruit drinks and traditional desserts. Prices are right!!! Lady Griselda was super attentive, friendly to us and every customer coming thru the doors. She was explaining the different food and dishes selection. We have a great experience eating at Mami's' Restaurant. Highly recommended!

Mami's Latin Cuisines Restaurant is the kind of place that feels special the second you walk in…read more It's warm, energetic, welcoming, and truly authentic. You can feel the pride behind the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The owners, Griselda and Rafael, were incredibly kind and helpful. I don't eat meat, and they immediately listened to what I was looking for and recommended the shrimp in garlic sauce. I've had this dish at a lot of Central American and Latin restaurants, and this was easily one of the richest, most flavorful versions I've ever had. The garlic sauce had so much depth, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The tostones were also outstanding. My wife loves tostones, so we've had them plenty of times, and these were some of the freshest and best we've had, perfectly salted, crisp, and the plantain was cooked exactly right. Not mushy, not hard, just perfect. Their fresh juices were also incredible and absolutely worth ordering. The vibe of the restaurant is a huge part of the experience. It feels authentic, lively, and welcoming, and even the artwork inside and outside is worth stopping to see. The restaurant was busy with people coming in for what looked like buffet-style Dominican food, but my dish was cooked fresh in the back and still came out super fast. Another moment that stood out was when I noticed there were no empanadas de queso left. Griselda kindly told me it would only take a minute to make one fresh for me, and it came out perfect, especially with their house-made green sauce. My only small suggestion would be to add a hotter, punchier red sauce for people like me who love extra heat and want even more of a kick. But overall, this place is a gem. If you're looking for authentic Dominican food, Latin cuisine, fresh juices, tostones, shrimp in garlic sauce, empanadas, and genuinely kind service, Mami's Latin Cuisines Restaurant is absolutely worth visiting. Highly recommend.

Pro-tip: Don't sleep on the tortillas! SO GOOD and made by hand…read more Always a great visit to the Maya Restaurant and the closest thing you can get to authentic foods. If you're not ready to dive into traditional dishes, there is a variety of options such as burritos, lomo/chicken saltado. Tamales are top notch, as well as the chile rellenos. I'm curious about the different jugos (juices) and atole, as I suspect a lot of added sugar. Highly suggest they consider more natural blends with less sugar. As for service, not quite sure about the validity of other yelpers experiences, the manager had a great smile and greeted us wonderfully. Overall, excited to go back!

They were tasty and had that slight kick of heat like real jerk does. Saw the fried chicken in the window and it looked so good. Tried a piece and that was good as well. And finally the beef patty, this was just what I was looking for! Customer service was on point and cant wait to go back for more. I want to try the oxtail, the goat, and the rice. This place hit the spot and brought me back to life!

TRAAAASH I walked in…read moreand asked for two of the $5 specials. I did this by saying "can I have two of the $5 Specials" While assembling the order, the woman behind the counter asked a couple of questions that sounded like standard options (rice, beans, sauce), and I said yes. There was no indication these would increase the price- or that what she was asking me was different than what I ordered. When she showed me the total, it was $37. I questioned it and repeated that I asked for the $5 specials, unsure of how confusion was even possible. Her attitude was rude, dismissive, and honestly uncomfortable. She seemed smug & happy with herself when she told me that the special was "jerk chicken rice - you got jerk chicken" **which I never asked for** At that point I was hungry and she wasn't worth the argument or energy, so I paid. Nothing on the menu reasonably adds up to what I was charged. What an absolutely psychotic experience. Food was ok at best.

Great spot for dine-in or take-out, and this is usually a staple when I'm back home in Westchester…read more The Jalea is a beautiful mix of fried seafood - fish, calamari, crabs, and mussels - with crispy and light pieces of fried yuca. A squeeze of lemon and a dip into their green aji verde adds a nice bite and heat, which can make you forget that you're eating a mountain of fried deliciousness. The lomo saltado and their half chicken are also great, and be sure to chase it down with some chicha. Service is great and the place is super clean and open; perfect for larger groups (just call ahead to be on the safe side)

I want to start with the fact that our food was delicious. We weren't planning on coming here…read moretonight, but walking by, someone sitting in the window had a huge plate of calamari that looked delicious, so we decided to go in, sit at the bar and get some calamari. We walked in and sat at the bar. Andres was very attentive and friendly. we ordered a Pisco Sour and pisco punch and calamari. All good. then my husband decided he wanted ceviche and I ordered chaufa de pollo, and then Tallarines Verdes(to bring home). Our drinks were very good. It took a long time for our food to come because our food was given to someone else. They were apologetic and said they'd give us some special drink pricing. But it was interesting to hear them tell the people next to us that they didn't have to pay for the food that they were accidentally given, even though they sat there and ate the entire thing, while we were the ones waiting and it wasn't even their food! The calamari(although MUCH smaller portion that what we saw at other tables and other people at the bar) and ceviche. the chaufa de pollo were very good. We ate. bit of all and took a lot home. Except my husband ate all of the ceviche... The owner came over and apologized about the wait/error. We got the bill, it was the wrong bill, I told him and he gave us the right one, but no discount or drink special on it... we paid and left. Again food was good, but service from the kitchen was spotty.

The Chupe De Camerones is just so delicious. The half chicken was perfect and they make the best lomo saltado. Yellow sauce on everything. I will say our bread they brought out wasn't toasty like it used to be and the yellow sauce was very cold so bringing those closer to room temp would be ideal. Still five stars. Friendly wait staff!

I did take 1 star away bc my dad called way in advance to place the order. They said it would be 20-25 min but when we got there they told us it would still be an additional 25 min. How does that even make sense when we got there after 30-45 min which was purposefully done just to avoid this. He then asked if he could add on to the order and the wait increased so he just said never mind. We got the large griot which was plentiful. Griot pieces were not all fatty.
