We went on Monday, not a busy day in the middle of the afternoon however our server gave us some the best experience. He was very knowledgeable about all the items. He made great suggestions and was attentive. Our only complaint was the yuca. It was very bland. Flavorless. Everything else was very flavorful. The beef you could tell was marinated as well as tender. It just fell apart with the pull of a fork. The Cubano was great as well. I had the Tampa cubano that added the salami. We will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes. We love that there was a variety of items to choose from .

Updated recs: - Masitas de puerco (5/5): love the rice and beans, so flavorful. The pork belly is tasty and not oily at all, which is great. - Chaufa w/ shrimp (5/5): my family loved this! Generous meat portion, really enjoyed this Latin twist on fried rice. - Lomo saltado (4.5/5): we really enjoyed this as well / better than lomo saltado I've had elsewhere. The beef was so flavorful and delicious, as well as the fried potatoes. The rice complemented everything nicely. - Cuban fried rice (3/5): this one missed the mark for me a bit! It was a bit too oily / flavor didn't hit the spot. I definitely preferred the chaufa a lot more (though they're a bit similar). Our server was so bright and friendly.

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.

While most…read morerestaurants give you the reheated version of a deep fried wing fried in lawn mower oil, this place offers delicious, top quality, fresh wings every time! They were perfectly cooked, fresh and delicious and the order was perfect. It is kind of hard to think that a Korean franchise is beating one of the most American dishes at our own game, but that is the reality. Service was courteous and on time. Their website seems to need some work as I had so issues to place the order while on MS Edge and had to switch to Google Chrome. No biggie, just worth mentioning. They are not cheap, but if food is good and fresh, I prefer to pay for quality.

Next time I will give that Golden Original chicken a try. There are some plates and rice dishes, but the focus is on the chickens. You chose wings or chicken, meaning wings and boneless chicken pieces. I generally do not like sweet and honey coated meats, so had to ask the counter guy what was what. Also, Koreans do like spicy hot foods and can, like the Thais, blow your taste buds to pieces, so go slow to go fast spice-wise. I had a two flame (out of a high of five flames) serving of wings and it was, to me, mild. Best to call in and pick-up. I had to sit for 20 minutes to get my walk-in order, as the kitchen cooks up one batch at a time. Pricey. My 8 wing order was $16 with $1.60 tax = $17.60.

For starters, the service is amazing! Everyone is very polite, friendly, and it's a very welcoming environment. The food is delicious and affordable. The chicken is excellent, one bite and the flavor is all there. I highly recommend chicken, chicken, chicken. The empanadas are the perfect appetizer and the little sauce in the side adds the perfect touch! Now the dessert, absolutely delicious. It's homemade and it's the perfect amount of sweetness. It brings the whole meal together! Thanks Mr. Pollo for the outstanding food, Definitely coming back! read more

I was also parked in a tow-away area because there was nowhere available to park, so standing there watching my food sit ready while I continued to be bypassed was especially frustrating. This isn't the first time I've left feeling overlooked, and today it simply felt rude.

The Egg Salad Sandwich (Fresh, homemade egg salad with your choice of bread) was enjoyable and nostalgic not only because of the fresh ingredients, but also because of the grilled sourdough bread.
