Review Mama Juana Paterson - Paterson

It was a girl's night and my friend picked this spot. When I arrived there was valet for $10 which I didn't want to do so I found street parking nearby. At the door they took IDs and temperatures. I liked the set up and how they kept it social distanced and it was Halloween decorated. They wouldn't seat us til at least 3/4 of our party arrived. We chose to sit outside and they had a pretty decent crowd. We were served by a really nice guy, I didn't get his name. They allowed us to do separate checks and gratuity was included. I didn't eat but I had a nice drink called jack punch and it felt like I was on the islands. The girls enjoyed their food and drinks but one of them had undercooked calamari so she had to send it back. The second batch wasn't seasoned enough so she has to add salt. The managers also helped out with the table and they were so nice and attentive. All in all we had a pretty good experience.

Loved celebrating my wife's birthday here. Food was great, and the drinks were incredible... Especially the Patron!

One of my favorite places to go for any occasion; specially when one is provided with the best service. I have to provide special thanks to Jessica and Sally for always being so attentive, welcoming and professional. Sally has helped me several times and it’s always been amazing. She always makes sure my party is well attended. She’s so friendly and nice and I always ask for her to be my server. Also, thank you Jessica for helping us out with our reservations and requests. Overall Mamajuana is a great place to have a good time. Thank you Jessica and Sally for making our visits run smoothly and pleasant.

I’ve visited this place a couple of times, the first time was horrible, it was on my birthday. I asked what was on the dish I was ordering, he stated nothing I was allergic to, I proceeded to inform him anyways just in case as anyone with an allergy should do. The server seemed very sure that I was fine. To my surprise being that this place is super dark I couldn’t see what was on my little mofongitos, I started to eat a whole one being that they’re so small, finished.. was talking with my table and I started getting hives on my face, neck, hands etc. and other symptoms. So everyone started to panic because we weren’t sure how it was caused. ( waiter said my dish didn’t come with It. ) I decided to put a flashlight from my phone on it and there it was on one of the mofongos but not on one of them. My table immediately started panicking, one friend when to the car to see if they had Benedryl, another went to go look for our server who was constantly disappearing and wouldn’t come back for a while. They found security instead and rushed them to find a manager. Our server appears no exaggeration SEVEN minutes later, by himself no manager present. He apologizes and said he didn’t know it came with it, etc. He asked me if I wanted anther order without what I’m allergic to, I said sure ( my friend luckily did have Benedryl ). He comes back 20 minutes later apologizing again.. that he didn’t realize that the food could not come without that ingredient........... my friend all ate their food and I was starving. I told him to just forget it at this point. Just to bring us the check. Nobody was in the mood to wait any longer for anything else. When the check arrived the food that gave me an allergic reaction was on the bill even with everything that just happened. My Friends informed the server that we wouldn’t not be paying for my meal so if you could just take it off the bill, the server then realizes and apologizes and says he will speak to his manager so he could take it off. He did when he returned about another 15 minutes. That was that experience for my birthday. Now to my best friends birthday, we just went again and the music was great spanish throwbacks, a really good selection Sunday night about DJs were greattttt!! The food was AMAZING!! Love me some really good Dominican food... especially some steak, Rice, and beans. All of our friends enjoyed their dishes as well nobody complain about the food at all. I let my server none of my allergies he told me what dishes came with and what dishes came without. I will say that we did order some thing, and it took about 30 minutes to arrive but I wasn’t food it was a hookah, so we weren’t really upset but it was kind of annoying that it arrived right after our food so space on the table was very limited. Other than that our only complaint was that our server this time was alsooo taking forever and disappearing all the time, we had to order our drinks several times with a female server from a different section but was always on top of everything at all of her tables so we kindly asked if she could find our server and she took our order and I guess kept passing it along to our server. When we all went to the bathroom we discovered our server leaning over the bar chatting laughing with the bartenders and the rest of the servers that were not tending to their tables. I don’t necessarily believe it was super serious but you should be able to check on your tables more before leaning on the bar chatting it up with your coworkers who should be doing the same and not neglecting the guests.

I absolutely love this place. Waiters are polite, fast, and attentive. I love the sushi and steak and I always add the lobster tail. Also offer a very good happy hour. I would recommend this for any occasion.

two days ago was the first time we came to that excellent restaurant. But It is definitely not the last. We had great time with the good service, with the first-rate cooking and booze and with the honest price. We will absolutely come back in a short time.

Celebrated my cousin birthday service was Amazing Place... Food and Drinks and overall service wasGreat Manager was Fantastic waiter was excellent everything came out on time the social distance was setup up perfect the way they had everyone separate and a capacity was awesome also not crowded AT All they followed the guide lines 110% would definitely recommend going here with everything going on we really had a good time

I wish I can give 0 stars... I went for a brunch with a large group of people from 3:30-5:30 they failed to accommodate our party. Waiters took forever to take our order we got our food and hour before getting kicked out when it was their fault for taking so long with our orders... honestly never coming here again. Save your coins and go somewhere else where your valued as a paying customer.
