I just discovered a little slice of heaven! Absolutely delicious…read more We ordered Oxtails, Jerk Chicken, Jerk Salmon, cabbage, Peas and rice, plantains and Mac n cheese. 3 Jamaican Beef Patties (Beef Pies). The beef pies, were hot, spicy and absolutely delicious. I mean Devine! I'll be back just to have them again! Tasty filling, flaky crust. The Jerk Chicken, as Jamaican as Jamaican gets. Spicy, hot and super flavorful. Tender, fall of the bone goodness. The oxtails, like the Jerk Chicken was tasty and tender...same with the Jerk Salmon. All prepared to perfection. The Cabbage was a bit on the "sweet" side. We enjoyed the peas and rice and the Mac n Cheese was a major home run . We will be back!

The price is ridiculous and giving the option of large or small and paying for what I thought was a large, however it was NOT I won't even visit the way they willing took my money and sent a small drier than ever seen, buyer beware. Our money these days can't be played with.

The menu has plenty of savory dishes with rich, infused Caribbean flavors. Some popular items you can try are the Caribbean Parrilla with Angus beef and chicken, their fresh ceviche with fish and shrimp, the hearty Caribbean seafood soup and the Playa Paraiso red snapper with tostones. They also have the Caribbean Llanera Burger with grilled cheese, bacon and egg, plus a nice tres leches cake for dessert. Overall it is an easygoing place with great drinks and flavorful food, definitely worth stopping by.

So I ordered pork chops, white rice, and beans. I got home and could tell everything was old. The food didn't look or taste like it was made fresh. I didn't ear more than one bite. In the trash it went. Maybe it was an off day I'm not sure. I'll return and give it another try as I like to support small businesses and the customer service is always top notch here.

A Home-Cooked Feel with a Few Rough Edges…read more My first visit to Dona Maria started on a positive note with a warm, friendly greeting that made me feel welcome right away. I ordered the Calisticas with chicken and the Pernil (braised pork). The crispy plantains were one of the highlights of the meal, providing a nice texture and crunch. The pork was tender and juicy, although I unexpectedly encountered a large bone joint in one portion. The chicken cups were less successful. They were noticeably oily and lacked the juicy, flavorful bite I was expecting. The standout flavor of the meal was actually the chimichurri sauce. It added brightness and depth, and I found myself pouring it over nearly everything on the plate. Overall, the experience felt very much like eating at a friend's home--comforting, unpretentious, and made with care. That home-style atmosphere extended to the food preparation as well, which appeared informal (I did see prep without gloves) and may not appeal to guests who expect a more polished restaurant experience. While there were some enjoyable elements, particularly the hospitality, plantains, pork, and chimichurri, the execution of several dishes was inconsistent. A decent meal with a welcoming spirit, but not one that fully lived up to its potential.

We arrived at 7:20 PM and it is now 8:31 PM -- and we still have not received our food. This…read moreexperience has been beyond frustrating. When we first walked in, we stood at the front door for about six minutes with no acknowledgment from any staff. It became obvious no one was coming to seat us, so I had to walk toward the back and ask someone if we could be seated. That should have been the first red flag. After finally being seated, it took nearly twenty minutes for someone to come take our order. Now, over an hour later, we are still sitting here without food. No updates. No apologies. No sense of urgency. This level of service is completely unacceptable. Waiting over an hour for food without any communication is ridiculous. Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant based on the service alone.

I have no idea where I first heard about this place, but I'm so glad I found it…read more Right after we ordered, the server brought over what looked like simple grilled pieces of bread. I was trying to save room for the main course, but there was something so delicious about those unassuming little bites. They were warm, slightly crisp, and completely addictive. We came specifically for the lunch specials, and they did not disappoint. I had my eye on the Piccadilly, a flavorful mix of ground meat with spices, potatoes, and what I believe were raisins and olives. It comes with white rice and black beans, but you can have them mixed together, which is absolutely the way to go. The combination of savory and slightly sweet flavors was fantastic. My only small wish is that it came with a few more sweet plantains on the side. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich, which comes with a side. We chose fries and iced tea, and they generously brought us BOTH large iced teas. The sandwich itself was huge, easily big enough to take half home. It was perfectly grilled, warm, and melty. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the bread a bit smaller while keeping all that delicious filling. This place is also a great value. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out.

Every Caribbean restaurant is different but this one is a step above the rest. Compared to other spots, this has the most authentic beef patty I've had in years. Absolutely love our brother and sister islands!! Now that my favorite Trinilicious spot has closed down I've found a reliable Mauby and beef patty spot.

BFF is Puerto Rican and anytime visiting a new state we always seek out his native cuisine…read more This place is tucked away in a strip mall so if you blink an eye you'll miss it. Essentially a hole in the wall, you order at the counter as there are no servers in the dining room. Dining area is a good size with most tables seating four. I wanted to order the mofongo de bistec; however, they were out so I settled for the mofongo de carne Molino. BFF ordered the carne guisada con arroz y habichuelas. My entree was delicious but the mofongo didn't appear to be made the way I've had it in the past but it was still very tasty and delicious. I tasted the carne guisada and it was a little dry but still flavorful. If you're in a hurry, order ahead of time as this isn't fast food and you will be waiting a while. No paper menus nor QR code menus are available, so either look online or you have to order from their digital menu upon ordering. Overall, this place is worth coming to with just a few shortcomings but I'd eat here often if I lived in the area.
