Mamajuana Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Lawrence

📢 Anthony!!! Best damn waiter, MADE our 22nd anniversary 🤌🏻 Where do I start?!?! We had the best food, service, and experience. We are from Derry NH. Let's just say our dining options are... limited 😉 We were in Lawrence and saw the reviews...no brainer, we're in! Beautiful ambience and vibe. They even had 3 options of dining...patio that was well-shaded, a casual dining room, and then the lounge/restaurant seating. We opted for that. Great music, even at 3p on Saturday. Our waiter Anthony, ugh, WHAT A LUV! He was seriously best "experience host" (ahem, trademark ™️ )😉 ever; made our day! From discussing food and drink options, explaining the unbelievably yummy Mamajuana drink...my husband insists we now buy some for the house. He treated us so well. Different conversations, some surprise treats (even though you ran out of flan!! It's OK, We forgive you this time 😉). Ordered my favorite cocktail 🍸, made perfect 👌🏻 Our food. Omg. I have not enough words to describe the happiness of our taste buds and bellies. Omg. The amount of bites we savored with our eyes closed with the flavors we tasted; pure foodgasm. To the whole team at Mamajuana's, THANK YOU ❤️ Best anniversary dinner yet! New tradition? 🤔 (I have the BEST pic I want to post but can't figure out how...

I had the unfortunate experience of dining at Mamajuana lounge , and let me tell you, it was a total disappointment from start to finish. Firstly, let's talk about the prices. A whopping $17 for an entree plate that was barely a step above Taco Bell quality is beyond ridiculous. But it gets worse.

Their so-called "entrees" are nothing more than glorified side dishes, with absolutely no accompanying sides. Take, for example, the Bistec with cebolla, a dish that typically costs pennies to make at home. Yet they had the audacity to charge $20 for just beef and onions – no rice, no beans, nothing!

Service was equally abysmal. Despite there being only two tables occupied, including ours, and several servers on duty, it took an unacceptable 20-30 minutes just to get our drinks, which were nothing more than juices. And don't even get me started on the wait for our apps and entrees – it was like watching paint dry.

To add insult to injury, when the food finally arrived, it was at room temperature, further highlighting the utter lack of care and attention in the kitchen.

Save your hard-earned money and avoid this establishment like the plague. Unless, of course, you enjoy flushing your cash down the drain for mediocre food and...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and excellent service. The waiter, Aly, was exceptional. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure that every aspect of my dining experience was perfect.

One thing that stood out to me about Aly was her attention to detail. She noticed that the sun was shining directly in my eyes and kindly offered to pull the shade down to make me more comfortable. This small gesture made a world of difference and showed that she truly cares about her customers.

The food was also incredible. It was clear that the chef takes great pride in their work, as each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The menu offered a great variety of options, so there was something for everyone.

Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. The combination of excellent service, delicious food, and attention to detail truly sets this place apart. And of course, a special thank you to Aly for making my visit even...
