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.

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.

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.

This is a Colombian/Mexican restaurant that is pretty good. For Greenville, SC it is good. It is…read morenot the best Columbian food I've ever had, but it is good. 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.

I always come for their Pupusas. This order was for myself & a co worker who wanted just cheese. I…read moregot the mix order. I never had an issue with dine in or carry out so I was a bit taken aback when the young lady who answered the phone wasn't of any help. I told her I can not come back if she can get credit me for the extra cheese charges since I never got any of cheese. She said no all she can do is exchange then if I wanted to come back to get the cheese which was not happening! Therefore 2 stars because if it was a honest mistake by the restaurant THEY should be willing to make it right with a good paying customer! I do intend to bring this up when I go in for dine in & speak to a boss in there so this issues is not happening to anyone else! Idk if it's $4 that's gas money food is good just double check when taking out even if they said they checked & bagged the order themselves. My co worker didn't get to eat that day for break cause she doesn't do meat only cheese!

I have always enjoyed visiting Greenville and it's fantastic Colombian restaurants. El Carriel has over and over exceeded my expectations for well over 5 years now. The food is as authentic as it gets. The portions are HUGE. The servers are tan amable. The panadería has yet to disappoint me with their selection. Must try are buñuelos, as well as pan de bono. The arroz con pollo is great. The almuerzo Colombiano is authentic and full of sabor autentico. The weekend pollo asado is like walking into a kokorico in the 1980's Bogota. The selection of jugos is next level. The coolers and products are always on point in their diversity and relevance. Absolutely worth a visit and some light grocery shopping, even if it's for a little mekateo and some authentic ingredients shopping..

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.
