Clean and new looking. Staff was great and friendly. They were getting ready for a disco night and the music was too loud for us boomers. The food was good. Will give it another try. read more

First time visiting Mamacitas. Love new local ethnic cuisine. Definitely not Mexican, more Latin and Caribbean inspires dishes. Lots of Pros and a few annoyances. Pros: Drinks- flavorful, creative, and lots of beer and drink variety. I got a double Woodford and wife got the electric Mojito. Presented with nice garnishes. Food: chips and 3 salsas to munch on. Very crisp light chips and all the salsas were fresh and flavorful. we ordered one appetizer and two mains. Enyucados was the appetizer. Visually very appealing. Tasted just as good as it looks. Mofongo and Bandeja Paisa for main courses. Again very visually appealing and flavorful. Very fresh flavor. We would order all of these again. Ordered the Leche Frita for dessert. It was different and just OK. No compliant food or drink. Service was good. 10 minutes to get app and 20 for main dishes. Now the couple of gripes easily fixed. Granted it was a slow Sunday evening we went on. Clearly a new server and not trained very well it seemed in checking in. The other gripe was there was one large housefly and a couple fruit flies that kept buzzing us. Yes it's hot and humid summer but the staff didn't seem to care. Little things to correct. I hope this place stays in business. The location doesn't fit the mold of the neighborhood. It's trendy Latin food and VERY GOOD food. I hope the owners read this review and take the feedback well. We plan on returning. read more

First time here, absolutely delicious! We had the corn ribs, chicken fajitas and two margaritas. Hands down the best restaurant meal I've had in sometime. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! Everyone, and I mean everyone, were so friendly and kind! The food was really special. This isn't a standard Mexican place it's a Costa Rican/Mexican fusion restaurant and it's definitely one to check out and put on rotate. Food was amazing, service was outstanding and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. We be back soon! read more

The food, when we finally got it, was really good. Time it took to get drinks, extra chips and the meal was not acceptable. After our first drink order was taken, it was 15 minutes before our waitress came back to say they don't have lime margaritas. After dinner order was taken, another 10-15 minutes to tell us they don't have ribs. No red mild salsa was available either. We were the only group (6) in the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon around 3. I was pretty disappointed and most likely will find other restaurants in the area to take the family. read more

Food Ambiance Fun Good service, very good Mexican food - most Dayton Mexican restaurants are not good food. This was fresh and authentic read more

Just do yourself a favor and don't go. Our first sign we should have left was the fact that it was DEAD! The food was extremely bland, even the kids chicken tenders and fries. Service was very slow and there were only 2 tables of 2-3 people there when we arrived. My husband had his food out about 5-10 mins before my son or I had ours, and we were not given silverware. We had to ask to order, ask for drink refills, and ask for our check. The only reason I'd give it a star is because the ambiance was amazing! I would give this place a try again but only during happy hour because it seems like they have invested majority of their money in the bar rather than the food. read more

Atmosphere was a lot of fun! Music is upbeat latin. Food was delicious!!! I highly recommend the Elotes locos, the sauce though!!! I ordered the rice bowl, again very flavorful. My girlfriend ordered fajitas, they were okay. The chips and salsa are good, salsa is spicy, ask for mild if you can't handle heat. Gave 4 stars because service was slow, I chalked it up to being on Tico time. We will be back. read more

The elotes locos (corn ribs) are not to be missed (paired particularly well with a Dos Equis). The atmosphere is fun and Jose, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Looking forward to going back to experience the robot dancer that we were told about. A great experience in local dining. read more

Fabulous food, don't be in a hurry so you can savor each bite. Ask for extra napkins!

Perfectly perfect delicious from start to finish both times I've been and impeccable service too, of course. Don't even get me started on my to-go/leftovers read more

Went in on a Saturday at 5pm - asked to see the margarita menu was told there are premade ones, but she doesn't know how to make them herself. Order 2 house margaritas and they tasted like soap. We told lady working (not sure what her position was) and she said she would make them herself (even though she said she didn't know how), when they came back 15 minutes later, it was all sour mix. We asked for bill and then noticed she charged us for 2 $23 margaritas - if we had been able to see a menu we NEVER would have selected a margarita at that cost. The salsa she brought to the table tasted bad, very sour and warm. read more

Really fantastic food and drinks, good service. Love the cool black light inspired decor. Lots of fun! My family ordered a variety of items to try and everything was great! I definitely want to go back and explore the menu further. read more

Food is amazing and very good service. nice patio to eat outside if prefer. Nice location, the restaurant was very clean and the staff vey friendly read more

Completely empty restaurant inside except for our table of 13 for dinner. Food was brought out slowly each ten minutes apart, 2 people were done eating for awhile before the last person was served. My husband loved his burrito but my mamachanga had extremely spicy brown chili sauce (habanero?) on it and I could only eat the inside of it. Salad was plain chunk of iceberg lettuce with a bit of salsa and a squirt of sourcream on it, very blah. They have beautiful interiors paintings/murals. I wish service was better, 3 people had their checks messed up...if they could improve service we might try again. read more

Disappointing. Was really hoping this place would be good, and first couple of reviews seemed promising. Service was horrible (Tuesday evening-- place wasn't busy). Waited 20 minutes in a sea of empty tables before someone took our order. Ordered the guacamole, shrimp tacos and tortilla soup. Food came out cold or luke warm. Chicken Tortilla soup had chicken that resembled cat food consistency (not shredded, but more mushy). Shrimp tacos arrived cold (tortilla shells had grill marks, but cold to the touch) and shrimp was cold as well. Flavors were meh. Didn't order any alcohol, so can't comment on that, although they seemed to have a decent selection of drinks and bar is fairly large. read more

A hidden gem in Dayton with an outstanding mix of Latin American food. The staff and service were great. We will be back!

The food is amazing, the atmosphere is awesome and the service is amazing. I love it here and I'll definitely be back!
