I went to Mamajuana for a friend’s birthday with a group of six. Parking is mainly street or valet for $15, and valet offers a small discount if validated through the restaurant. We went on a Friday night and the music was extremely loud, making it hard to talk. I ordered the burger with fries, which was underwhelming, though the Mamajuana roll (sushi with plantain on top) was really good. I also had the Mamajuana wine cocktail, which was enjoyable. There’s a small speakeasy in the back that was much quieter than the main dining area. Our waiter was very attentive and gave great recommendations.

Wow, this place is phenomenal. The atmosphere is ALIVE that’s for sure. You’ve been dancing in your seat while eating. The drinks are strong and super delicious. Price wise, ehh, a little pricier BUT worth the extra $$$. It’s quality worth paying for. I shared 3 plates with my friends and each dish was amazing. We actually ordered two rounds of their shrimp because it was that good.

I had the best Dinner and Salsa night! This restaurant has been one of my favorites as a native New Yorker! Paul the owner was very hospitable and you can tell the love and care that he puts into this restaurant chain! The GM Shane was Amazing and my waitress Crystal was so sweet! The food was amazing from cocktails, to a mamajuana sushi roll, to churrasco steak dinner plate! The Mofongo is an absolute must!

Congratulations! 🎉 Mamajuana Cafe 💖 10/10 everything felt just right 🎉🎉 I’ve reviewed many places but this is the first restaurant I’ve ever given a full 10/10 so far. Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious full of flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks? Honestly amazing so refreshing and well made. The service truly stood out. It felt very attentive and elevated almost like being on a cruise. Every detail was taken care of and the overall experience was just outstanding. Highly recommend I will definitely be coming back

This place was exceptional. We went after 10pm with the kids and they gracefully waited us outdoors. It was such a nice environment, reminded me of a Latin Miami vibe. I felt like I was at one of my family gatherings 😂 The food was just delicious and the music was great. Everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves, the kind of place you wanna try! Just the food is enough to keep you coming back.
