Asked our names told us a nice story ,shook our hands and we walked out. Nice guy I really want to see the good guy succeed. Please eat here! The food was good. Service was great and was pretty quick. Unlike other places. As for the price. It was average. I don't mind paying for good services and good food.

I specifically asked if the plantains were fresh and was told yes, but unfortunately, they were hard and lacked flavor. The entrées were okay, but I've had better quality elsewhere. I also ordered a pineapple soda, but it was accidentally left off my order. Overall, I would have given 4 stars if the plantains had been fresh and my soda had been included.

The bar has what I look for - interesting crafted cocktails (including specials), a good liquor selection, and fun people behind the bar with whom to engage. I can understand why my friends liked the place. We did have some food here, but I'm more enamored with the drinks. We ordered hummus, which was supposed to come with bread (they say naan, I think it was pita, but that's fine) and veggies. It did come out with the bread. When we asked about the veggies, we were given 2 different answers by 2 different people. One implied folks didn't always want them, another said the chef forgot and apologized. The hummus had an unexpected flavor, and when I checked the fine print on the menu it says, "chefs choice flavor." We didn't order anything else here, but we saw several orders of wings go by, and they looked really good too. On a Saturday afternoon, get here early, because if can fill up quickly.

Our waitress came over after a minute or so, and dropped off menus. I ordered a Paloma drink and we ordered a large guacamole appetizer. The waitress let us know that the kitchen was backed up so it would be best to get an order in right away. My wife ordered a chicken quesadilla and I ordered chicken enchiladas. The drink and the guacamole came out pretty quickly. And we enjoyed both. We finished the guacamole and my drink, so when the waitress came by, I ordered a classic margarita. The waitress wasn't kidding- it did take a while to get the food. But it was a busy night and they had let us know so we were OK. After a bit the Bartender/manager in charge came out to our table and offered us a free round of drinks, some chips and salsa on the house because of the wait. That was nice. And then within about five minutes, our food came and it was excellent. My wife's enchiladas had a toasted cheese on the end of them that was tasty - with the biggest amount of sour cream I've ever seen! My enchiladas was a huge plate of food with some nice rice and some spicy beans too. We ended up taking half of it home so it will be my dinner tonight too lol. Despite the wait for the food, it was a nice night and good restaurant and I will come back.

We were not expecting this especially since the sign at the entrance said no minors after 9:30 pm. This was a bit uncomfortable for us since we had gone with a few families with kids.

Mamia's Island is a serve-you-at-the-counter type restaurant, with a small dine-in area with about 5 tables, but you absolutely don't want to skip trying this place out. My wife and I were on our way to Rochester on a day off, and had plans to grab lunch at a different restaurant there. My wife happened to spot Mamia's as we passed by on Rt 104 and we decided to turn around and give them a try instead, and we were very glad we did. This place was way more our speed. We love ethnic foods, and we pulled in right as they were opening and the small parking lot was already full - good sign. We went in and placed our order - we got a "medium" 2-meat plate with yellow rice, albondingas & pernil, along with 2 empanadas (1 beef, 1 chicken) and an order of mixed (yuca & plantain) tostones. Everything was delicious. The only complaint we had was we did end up getting a lot of connective tissue in our pernil, but other than that, everything was amazing. We did wish the tostones were served with some kind of dipping sauce, but fresh, they honestly didn't need anything. They were seasoned and salted perfectly, the empanadas were amazing, and it was enough food to feed us twice. The total was around $30. We'll be making the half hour drive to get food regularly.

Their meat selection has a lot of different options of chicken, pork, stew style meats, etc. I had their pork and meatballs and they both were so good. The meatballs are soft and sweet which go well with the yellow rice. We also sampled their empanadas and the guava cheese on is to die for! The service was also incredible, I enjoyed talking to the lady taking my order and she shared a lot of history behind the pictures in the restaurant and in general. If you're in the area, it's an absolute go to!
