Super nice like I was one of his family members. Long lost cousin. Andre I ordered the apricot chicken thigh with rice lunch deal. This was very good. Not a whole lot of food but enough My apprentice ordered the empanadas. They were very small. So sad. As we were walking out the owner came up to us and asked if we have been there before. Asked our names told us a nice story ,shook our hands and we walked out. Nice guy I really want to see the good guy succeed. Please eat here! The food was good. Service was great and was pretty quick. Unlike other places. As for the price. It was average. I don't mind paying for good services and good food.

The lady at the counter was very sweet though. She was very willing to answered questions about the food they had on display. They have a pretty limited menu. I would love to go back and try some of the other dishes. I'm not sure if they have dine-in though. It looks like a quick take out food joint mostly serving the office goers around. The place was very clean, perhaps because it was new. I hope they maintain it that way.

The staff was friendly. The chicken chicken empanada was flavorful and not too salty, and so was the yellow rice and beans. Bring cash for now, because they are not taking credit cards yet.

No clue at all how I…read morehaven't heard of it or seen it before, having driven past the location multiple times over the past 6 years. Take out only with a much bigger selection than any of the other Puerto Rican / Spanish food joints in town. I ordered the large Pernil & Arroz con Gandules and a small sweet plaintain. The total was just under $12 and can easily be 3 meals for me. Everything tasted great/fresh. The turnover of food is clearly high as multiple customers were ordering food and the many, helpful staff members were all busily refilling the hot food trays and filling to-go orders. With a good 2 dozen different dishes to choose from I'm looking forward to many return trips.

Originally came here because I found a coupon with restaurants.com but upon arriving, the staff said they were no longer accepted. Bummer but I still ordered food. The pepperoni empanada was meh. Mostly dough. The beef empanada had more of a Jamaican Patty than Latino flavor but still delicious. The fried chicken was crunchy with moist meat. The pulled pork was succulent and the skin was crispy. The yellow rice and beans was full of flavor. I'll admit, the area is sketchy so grab food only in the daylight. The dining area isn't the most inviting either so take out is recommended.

Look for the brightly colored sign featuring the Puerto Rican flag or else you might miss Mamia's…read moreIsland, an authentic family-operated Puerto Rican restaurant opened by owners Neymaris Sierra and Andrew Stewart along Route 104 in Ontario. Mamia's Island is a serve-you-at-the-counter type restaurant, with a small dine-in area with about 5 tables, but you absolutely don't want to skip trying this place out. My wife and I were on our way to Rochester on a day off, and had plans to grab lunch at a different restaurant there. My wife happened to spot Mamia's as we passed by on Rt 104 and we decided to turn around and give them a try instead, and we were very glad we did. This place was way more our speed. We love ethnic foods, and we pulled in right as they were opening and the small parking lot was already full - good sign. We went in and placed our order - we got a "medium" 2-meat plate with yellow rice, albondingas & pernil, along with 2 empanadas (1 beef, 1 chicken) and an order of mixed (yuca & plantain) tostones. Everything was delicious. The only complaint we had was we did end up getting a lot of connective tissue in our pernil, but other than that, everything was amazing. We did wish the tostones were served with some kind of dipping sauce, but fresh, they honestly didn't need anything. They were seasoned and salted perfectly, the empanadas were amazing, and it was enough food to feed us twice. The total was around $30. We'll be making the half hour drive to get food regularly.

Their meat selection has a lot of different options of chicken, pork, stew style meats, etc. I had their pork and meatballs and they both were so good. The meatballs are soft and sweet which go well with the yellow rice. We also sampled their empanadas and the guava cheese on is to die for! The service was also incredible, I enjoyed talking to the lady taking my order and she shared a lot of history behind the pictures in the restaurant and in general. If you're in the area, it's an absolute go to!

I went in and ordered the fried chicken chunks, Chicaron de pollo. Nice dish. Allot of food. I don't know if they use chicken brest for the chunks. It would have been better, but it was still good. The rice and beans were also good. Except for my drive, I would come here again, next time I'm in town. I recommend.

Perfectly fried and just the right amount of salt. The red rice still makes my mouth water when I think about it. So enough about the food The best part is that the waitress was so friendly and then the owner came over an introduced himself. That makes anyone feel at home. I'm impressed. The renovations are amazing. For anyone old enough to remember that the building was a nightclub (Inferno), will be blown away at the look of it now. I can't wait to go back for a little salsa dancing!!!
