    Nom nom. The food here is wonderfully fresh and tasty, and Maria is a delight. I ordered the slow cooked brisket sandwich for my hub, and it came on a torts bun (like ciabatta bread) with chips drizzled with a yummy sauce. I tried the spicy shrimp tacos, and the shrimp was so fresh and plump and had a nice but not too spicy kick. Have been here in the past and tried the feijoada and samosas, and she also makes empanadas. I recommend that when you don't know what you're hungry for, just stop in here and check the menu. I'm sure you'll find something you'll love, along with the friendliest service.

    Don't judge a book by it's cover. The food here is DELICIOUS! I've tried the Cuban, empanadas, and the Shrimp Tacos (on separate visits of course) - all were incredibly fresh and delicious. Maria is so friendly and throws down in the kitchen!! Great, personable customer service makes each visit amazing. I think the menu changes sometimes but I'm sure whatever you order will be tasty! I plan on trying the Goan burger next!

    Goan Veggie Club Sandwich Delicious!!
    Karen P.

    We went for late lunch after the rush. Maria came out to greet me and my parents. Mom had the Cuban sandwich, dad had the chicken enchilada, and I had the Goan veggie club sandwich with the veggie soup. The Cuban had lean cuts of meat. It was very good. The chicken enchilada was better than expected. It had a bit of spice, but it is not overpowering. The Goan veggie sandwich and soup were delicious. It has a refreshing flavor and filled with cucumber, potato, a few onions.

    In the back of the family-owned neighborhood store. Maria is AMAZING! Hands down the best shrimp tacos we've ever had. Carnitas tacos fantastic too! I also had to try the pumpkin spice cheesecake blondie that was very good as well. Definitely worth a drop in.

    Marie makes awesome food! Brazilian feijoada (black beans and sausage over rice), spicy shrimp tacos, Cuban sandwich, chicken enchiladas, curry - it's all great. Don't be put off by the outward appearance of the store, the food is too good to miss. Get there at 11:00 AM and beat the "crowd" (it's too small to hold a crowd - lol)

    Spicy shrimp tacos and beef nachos!!!!!!!!!!!
    Dan W.

    Sweet mamma jamma. This place is amazing. I went in around 3:45 pm so it was quiet and my food was ready quickly. The food area is pretty nondescript but everything appeared to be clean. Maria met me at the counter and explained the menu. I called my wife and we settled on the beef nachos and the spicy shrimp tacos and we were so impressed with both. My wife, who considers herself to be somewhat of an officiaNACHO, says these are the best nachos she has had since we moved to Greenville in August. Maria informed me that everything was handmade and the shrimp were brought in from Charleston and never frozen. We will be back for sure....maybe tomorrow!!

    Everything you've heard is true. Don't sleep on Maria Gomes' neighborhood bodega! Got the Cuban and some of her Spicy Shrimp Tacos. Both were perfect in about every way. I'll be back. A lot.

    One of the specials today- a curry dish over rice w/shrimp potatoes. Maria adds a Portuguese flair into her Indian home cooking.
    Kat H.

    Only the locals know about this hidden gem. Maria is a fabulous cook and will make sure you are very happy with your meal...you'll be coming back again. There are new specials daily, but usually I just ask her what's good. She will whip you up some of the best Indian/Portuguese home cooking that you will have!!! Make sure you get a samosa too! She will know your name by your third time coming back!

    Spicy shrimp tacos and chicken soup
    Ashwin A.

    Fresh, delectable, home-made, Portuguese/Cuban/Indian food. Maria is an brilliant cook and an engaging conversationalist. You'll never get bored with her company and she'll make sure you're fully satisfied with your meal... Her chicken soup and spicy shrimp tacos made my day!

    What a surprise! We were expecting a bit of Latin in the strip mall off Woodruff and got A LOT of…read moreit. I had glanced at the menu on the way there but didn't realize how extensive it was. Our waiter was a superstar- in talking with him he shared he was from Ecuador and made suggestions for our lunch choice. We started with the beef and chicken empanadas- very good- and an order of maduros- ripe plantains. We should have stopped there because I was almost full at that point. For our entrees we chose shrimp mofongo- which we really see in small cities being that it is the national dish of Puerto Rico- and the paella for one. Both were wonderful. I would argue that the size of the paella should be be renamed as a lid of a trashcan serving. It was giant and we barely put a dent in it before asking for a to go box. I highly recommend this spot!

    What a great find for Latin food! The mofongos were delicious--very close to the ones I had in…read morePuerto Rico. The only thing I'd change is using fresh-caught shrimp to give it more of that seaside flavor. The whole red snapper with coconut sauce was also full of flavor. We really enjoyed the mango and guava juices, and the tres leches dessert was amazing! Definitely a highlight of the meal. Other things we liked: the decor was nice, our waitress was a friendly young lady who made the experience pleasant, and the restroom was very clean. Overall, a solid spot for tasty Latin dishes and a comfortable atmosphere.

Wow, we made a great decision trying Mama Juana Latin Fusion. We had an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the host, we knew this was going to be something different. The host asked, and was genuinely excited when we told him it was our first time in. When the waiter arrived, he was excited to tell us about the menu, as well as the food itself. He enthusiastically explained that while they had Mexican dishes, authentic Latin food was their real specialty. He made great recommendations and took great care of us throughout the meal. We chose to try the empanadas (1 cheese, 1 chicken, and 1 steak) and some cheese dip with chorizo. Both were exceptional. Full of flavor. My wife and I agreed to split 2 entrees, and that was another good decision. I had the Cachapa with shredded chicken, and she had the Venezuelan Arepas. Neither of us had ever had these dishes, but both were amazing. We were stuffed, but no way we couldn't take a desert home for later. The flan and the Tres Leches were both AWESOME! If you are on the fence, just try this place. You will be glad you did! They take a tremendous of pride in the quality of the food. The restaurant was very clean and had a great ambiance.

    My boyfriend is an American quadriplegic who uses a power wheelchair, and I'm Colombian. We're…read morevisiting from Florida, and we were so excited to find a Colombian restaurant here. The restaurant itself is really cute, clean, and has plenty of parking. Unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot because the automatic handicap door button was broken. My boyfriend stood outside for several minutes trying to get it to work so he and his service dog could get inside. It was close to 100° outside, so that was really frustrating. I was still getting things out of the car and had no idea he was stuck outside because I never imagined something that important would be out of service. Eventually, an employee came over and opened the door for us. Our server was very friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. We ordered the morcilla with arepitas and an arepa with shredded beef, chicharrón, and chorizo. The morcilla was a disappointment. It was dry and mostly tasted like rice. My boyfriend has had morcilla at other Colombian restaurants before, and they usually have a much richer filling with meat and seasoning. This one just fell flat. My arepa was okay, but it really needed something. No cheese, no butter, no sauce, not even hogao. The shredded beef was dry, the chicharrón was chewy, and the chorizo was decent. Overall, it just lacked flavor. As we say in Colombia... it needed more sabor and a little more love. The passion fruit juice was really good, though. Overall, I'd give the food a 3/10.

The service here is spot on. They brought out a bunch of napkins and the sauces right away. The white sauce is ranch. The red sauce is a very mild chipotle. The green sauce is like 1/4 of a jalapeno in terms of heat. I would recommend the bowls here. The entire bottom is essentially rice while the top is protein. This is all to say the portions are decadent, before we even get to the qualify of the food. Everything on our plate was delicious. My only complete is that the egg was more medium than medium-easy. The wings were fine. The small empanadas were fun to eat. All in all, a good time. Go here.

We got this epic "appetizer" plate piled with fried meats and starches and garlic tomatoes. Circle up on that with some beers and you have a party. The seafood coconut soup was decadent.
