We are constantly frustrated when eating at restaurants over the last couple of years…read more Today, we thought we would try something outside of our norm. 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.

Today I ordered food from this place and when my son went inside to get his food, he asked the…read moreserver can I order a pina Colada drink he told him he couldn't make it and just walked away from him. I was puzzled because this is not the first time that I've ordered a virgin drink and the server said no. I would've respected him more if he told my son give him a min if he was busy which is understandable not just blow him off and not say or do anything. When they learn to respect people more after they spend their money at their establishment maybe I'll return but I'll stay away for now poor service.

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.

Stopped driving home from Greenville and they had amazing reviews but it just wasn't it for us…read more I ordered 2 beef empanadas and 2 cheese. I received chicken and maybe (?) beef, hubby thought it was very pork like but the menu doesn't have pork and I think it was the vegan empanadas. They were good, but not what we ordered. Hubby got the skewers with rice, wonderful. My food never came, when I asked they told me I didnt order it and I had to insist I did, and then they told me it will be right out. I ate the empanadas with hubby, hubby ate is skewers,rice, and potato, my food was still nowhere to be seen. At that point I asked for a refund, they told me my food wasn't ready, and I said I know, I'm done here and would like a refund which they gave to me in cash. It was an hour from ordering to me asking for a refund. What we had was good but 1) I wouldn't recommend for someone with allergies or food restrictions, 2) it took awhile to get the food The woman at the front was very sweet but I was disappointed because several people on TikTok recommended it, and the reviews are exceptional.

We saw this place while visiting Wicked Weed across the street. After seeing the amazing Yelp…read morereviews we decided to return a few days later and try it out. I ordered the Pork Arepa and Yuka Fries. The food was delicious - fresh, very flavorful and well balanced. The staff was friendly and did not act annoyed at us for bringing kids along. They even came out and offered us a high chair. Even though the restaurant is small, they had ample outdoor seating as well. We enjoyed our lunch immensely! When we return to the area, we'll have to come back and try more from the menu.

Wow! A flavor explosion meets gluten free. We had ropa viejo and jibara arepas. The arepas were so…read morelight and fluffy and tender. We added escabeche (perfect blend of flavors!) and tostones (with delicious sauce). We needed dairy free as well, so sadly no queso for us, but please enjoy it if you aren't dairy free. We got our order to go, and it was packaged well and stayed hot until we got back to our hotel room, even though it was quite cold outside. This is a tiny place with maybe 8-12 barstools. It is squeaky clean and decorated so nicely. The owner has a great sense of humor as evidenced by his posted hours by the door. Everything is gluten free. I wish this was in my hometown. I would eat there several times a week. I will certainly return when I am in Asheville again, and am even considering placing an order on my last day here to take home for dinner. One thing to note: street parking only as the lot next to the building belongs to another establishment, and they don't play with you parking in their spots.

After seeing several Instagram posts raving about this restaurant and being new to South Carolina,…read morewe decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it was a major letdown from the start. The exterior looked rundown, and inside, many tables were still covered in dirty dishes, with flies circling around. Despite the initial red flags, we decided to stay and give the food a chance. When we received the menu, none of the dishes had prices listed. I asked the server for a menu with pricing, but she just laughed and said none of their menus had prices, and if I wanted to know, I'd have to ask her directly. This was off-putting, but we ordered a mix of Colombian and Mexican dishes: lengua criolla, milanesa de pollo, a burrito, and a chicken quesadilla. When the food arrived, things went from bad to worse. The burrito was smothered in a thick sauce they claimed was cheese, but it clearly wasn't. The quesadilla had an odd, almost liquid cheese with no flavor. The lengua was passable, but the accompanying salad was soggy and tasted off. Wanting to avoid further complaints, I simply asked for the burrito to be remade without the sauce. The server refused, saying that's just how they made it and couldn't accommodate the request. As someone who is 100% Colombian and has lived in Mexico and California, I can confidently say the "Mexican" food here was not authentic and tasted terrible. When I asked to remove the uneaten burrito from the bill, the server seemed visibly irritated but agreed. While my wife and I finished most of our food, our kids couldn't eat theirs. To top it off, the server never brought the bill to the table, so I had to go to the counter, where she simply gave me a total without a proper receipt. I ended up paying $97 for a meal that wasn't worth half that. It's disappointing to leave this kind of review, but there are far better Colombian restaurant options in Greenville, Mauldin, and nearby areas. I strongly recommend staying away from this place--especially the so-called "Mexican" menu.

We both had the Bandeja Paisa with no rice and double beans. The beans were the best part. The steak was a little chewy for my taste, but the salsa they have for it was really good. It wasn't super hot, but had a good kick and taste that complimented the steak very well. The chicharrón was also crispy and went well with the beans. The sausage was really good and went well with the plátano maduro. Overall, a good place for those that enjoy Columbian food in Greenville, SC.

Big No. We visited on the night of a car show, and they were…read moreoperating with a limited menu -- which would have been fine if it hadn't been so confusing. The options were quickly listed out loud, and there were no physical or printed menus to refer back to. I was even served a Dr Pepper that was past its expiration date. The server didn't seem to know the prices of anything and was dismissive when we asked questions. The explanation was that the car show caused the limited setup, but since these events happen regularly, it seems reasonable to expect a simple printed limited menu by now. Once our food arrived, no one checked on us again -- not a single refill or follow-up. We also had kids with us, and none of the lids fit their cups properly, which made things messy and frustrating. The food itself was decent, but overall the experience was disappointing. There are definitely better places nearby that offer more organization, better service, and attention to customers.

Sad to say, this place missed almost every single thing that I look for in a restaurant. We came in and were seated quickly, which was nice. The staff weren't overly friendly, in fact, seemed standoffish. This didn't bother me, so we sat down and ordered a couple of drinks. Their margarita was pretty much a glass of sour mix. I asked our waiter if I could have a slice of fresh jalapeño for my margarita and he actually told me no. Not sure how that works, as fresh jalepenos appear on a number of menu items.The bottle of beer was nice and cold, however it's kind of hard to mess that up. As an appetizer we ordered bean dip & chips, which was more or less a bean purée with a little bit of melted cheese added. Not impressive. My wife ordered chicken fajitas, which we both tried, and both agreed there wasn't anything special about them. For myself, I ordered the Colombian hamburger, the "hamburgerusa" or something to that effect. It featured some unique flavors but overall failed to impress me. One thing that really irritated me was that it was like pulling teeth to get our waiter to bring us anything, from glasses of water, to a plate for my wife's fajitas. The whole refusing to add a slice of jalapeño to my margarita really made me bump this place down from the two stars I was planning to rate this place down to the one star it gets now. That just really rubbed me the wrong way. I'd stay away if I were you. I know we definitely won't come back.

I had to really smother it in one of their sauces. The ambience is nice. The music is nice and at a comfortable volume. Service is responsive. I'd eat here again, but only to try something different and give them a chance to redeem themselves. Don't not try this place. Just don't order anything with shredded chicken or their corn cakes (arrepa) If I had a suggestion it would be to have a "tasting day" to get some outside people, non Dominicans, to give them feedback.
