Zack was our bartender/server and I have to say he makes the best margarita I've had in a long time! He mentioned they use good quality lime juice and it makes all the difference. Breweries usually aren't known for their mixed drinks so I was pleasantly surprised as I'm not much of a beer drinker. For food we enjoyed the brewin' onion, made in-house, fresh not too salty and well seasoned. We also had lemon pepper wings and buffalo wings. My only critique is the lemon pepper is very very salty. Buffalo was delicious, very good sauce. Wings are great quality, fresh and meaty. Great prices, what a happy hour should be! Excellent service from Zach and the other staff, they were on top of everything. They have tables and plenty of bar seating, they also have a very nice patio.

It is the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy a delicious meal, listen to great music, and truly have a memorable night out. The background music made the experience even better, with Chayanne's "Bailando Bachata," Romeo Santos, Nicky Jam, and other amazing Latin artists creating the perfect upbeat, feel-good vibe. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Our waitress, Angie, was wonderful--friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in throughout the meal without ever making us feel rushed. The entire staff was welcoming and attentive, which made the experience feel even more special. We began with the Empanadas de Queso, and they were easily a perfect 10! They were fried to a beautiful golden crisp without being overcooked, with a light, flaky exterior and a warm, perfectly blended cheese filling. The cheese was savory, creamy, and melted perfectly with every bite. The sauce served on the side was the extra touch that took them to another level--so flavorful and delicious that it left us wishing there was more. This appetizer is an absolute must-order. The Yuca Bites were another highlight. They were crispy on the outside while remaining soft, warm, and tender inside. The seasoning was just right--flavorful without overpowering the natural, comforting taste of the yuca. Every bite had a satisfying crunch followed by a smooth, buttery texture, making them incredibly easy to keep reaching for. They were simple, well prepared, and full of delicious flavor. The Rice and Green Pigeon Peas was also very good. It was not the traditional Puerto Rican-style rice and peas, but it had its own delicious flavor and character. The rice was fluffy, nicely seasoned, and complemented by the hearty, earthy taste of the green pigeon peas. It was a satisfying side that paired beautifully with the rest of the meal. The Salmon Fettuccini was outstanding. The salmon was cooked perfectly--tender, moist, and flaky, never dry or overdone. It blended beautifully with the fettuccini and flavorful sauce, creating a comforting dish with a wonderful balance of creamy pasta, savory seasoning, and fresh salmon. The flavors came together so well that every forkful was just as enjoyable as the first. For dessert, we had the Tres Leches and Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream. The portions were on the smaller side, but they were still absolutely delicious and the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The Tres Leches was moist, soft, and wonderfully rich, with that classic sweet, milky flavor that melts in your mouth. The Bread Pudding was warm, comforting, and full of sweet, spiced flavor, while the scoop of vanilla ice cream added a smooth, creamy contrast as it slowly melted over the top. Both desserts were satisfying and definitely worth ordering. Overall, MamaJuana Cafe delivered an amazing dining experience. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the music and atmosphere made the night feel fun and memorable. Angie and the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and well cared for. We are already planning our return and cannot wait to go back on a night when the DJ is there for an even more energetic and festive experience. If you are looking for flavorful food, attentive service, great Latin music, and a welcoming atmosphere in Waterbury, MamaJuana Cafe is a place you absolutely need to experience!

I've been here three times and keep forgetting to leave a review but here it is!…read more I can't break it down by dish since I've been here a few times and have tried a few things from their menu but highly recommend you visit. Location is great, lots of parking and it feels safe. Inside the restaurant there is a lot of space and the way it's set up makes it feel very open. They always play Spanish music which is one of the reasons I love coming here. Make me feel like I'm on vacation LOL! As a girl there's a lot of cute places to take pictures. This spot is cute to come with your girlfriends. The birthday song the play is so fun and really gets everyone excited. The service is a bit inconsistent- there have been times I've gone and they're not really too friendly or personable and then there are times that they're very friendly. I went yesterday and our waiter was William and he was so fun, he was dancing while taking our order :) I love love their food. It's always an explosion of flavor. This time when I went it stood out to me more, I had just had dinner at Don Coqui in Edgewater the night before and WOW!! If you ever thought about Don Coqui please save yourself the drive, money and stress cuz Mamajuana is where it's at!!! Their food is 100x better than Don Coqui. Their drinks are always on point and service is generally fast. Highly recommend this place. Great for birthdays or just any occasion. You'll surely have a great time! I dare you to not dance in your seat while you eat LOL ***PS- they do not share this info when walking in BUT they will charge a fee for using credit card. I think it's bs and their only downfall. I'd understand it if they were a small little restaurant cuz those merchant fees suck but they're a pretty big location so they should be able to handle those and I don't think it's ethical that they do not disclose this info anywhere. So BEWARE. I believe it's like a $5 difference from paying cash.

Former pretty regular Brady's Patron…read more After what I experienced earlier this month with Brady's, I wrote a very long detailed review. I decided to wait to publish it because I was so upset with the treatment we received. 2 weeks later, I decided not to write a 1 star review because we actually really enjoyed going to dinner at Brady's on the weekends. Their food was delicious 95% of the time. Their staff was always super friendly too. So I'll give them 5 stars for those areas. As for their event catering in the room next door, 1 star. I can't tell you about the catering food or the service during an event because I booked my event in July for Oct. Went over the details and menu while we dined in the restaurant. I took detailed notes. Despite sending a few messages, there was no response. After calling and dealing with a very rude manager 1 1/2 weeks before my event, he changed all the details! He added charges and minimum charges that were not spoken about or agreed upon when I put my deposit down in July. He also charged me more than I said I wanted to put down when he took my card. He said we could take away some items to make it cheaper or come get a refund....1 1/2 weeks before the event. I honestly considered just sucking it up. All the other arrangements had been made & paid for, invitations had gone out etc. Ultimately I found another friendlier venue so I went to get my refund and went straight to the new place and booked them. If Brady's had been upfront with the costs and details, I probably would've paid that or made different choices. I was angry with the poor communication, shady late price gouging, details being changed and the fact that he sounded very perturbed to be speaking to a woman instead of my husband; even though I was the one throwing the event, paid for it and took all the notes. Needless to say, they lost pretty regular customers who referred them to quite a few people.
