Mamazzita Ecuadorian Cuisine — Restaurant in Newark

Sadly pictures were good but when the food was delivered it was the worst experience ever. I ordered the valenciana paella and the baked clams casino. NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES. The paella was definitely not fresh, it was super dry, including the lobster, clam, and mussels. Super rubbery, solid dry and the "hairiest" mussels ever. They were so dey that the hairy oart looked like a super bad hair day Mohawk. The shrimps and lobsters were not properly cleaned, you can see the black line and green goo on each. And unless we've been in Maine eating fresh lobster to consider that green goo a delicacy.. it should be removed since can be poisonous or toxic. The stuffed baked clams...where to start. As a starter, Nothing like the picture, then they tasted rancid, maybe they were bad or is an ingredients selection mismatch. The presentation, looked like vomit and raw and on my first bite had to deal with a piece of shelf which can be a safety issue. I'm sorry but for a place with so many fish dishes they should know the basics and unfortunately, a groceries store box paella taste way better than this and that's a lot to say. Pros: very generous portion and quick deliver (too quick for a paella that should take over 40 min in...

Its not a bad restaurant food wise. However, Ive been here in 3 separate occasions and in all three occasions I had the same problem happen to me. Every time i ask for the check I get over charged. They add more items or change the price of an item. Recently My family had ordered 3 sangrias and 4 waters, on the menu it said the sangria cost $32 but when we asked for the check they charged one sangria for $40 and 2 separately for $160 and then added a piña colada when we never ordered that. If you dont say anything and give them your card they will charge you more than what you ordered. The service is bad as well we bought tickets to a comedy show which is in a room in the back, they told us that if we didnt order anything they would take the table away. How is it that we paid for our tickets to get in but if we didn’t order anything they would have us standing. So I would say that if you decide to go please make sure you look at your check to see what theyre charging you, dont just hand them your card. It wasnt a mistake, because its happened in...

First of all this is my first review ever and I am only writing it because of the experience We went for a quick appetizer and smoothies, waited 20 minutes for the drinks (were good) then about 30 minutes for 1 of the 2 appetizers, because of the “event” they had at that time kitchen was backed up The waiter asked us if we can wait 10 minutes for the corviche or get the mote con chicharrón in the mean time - we choose to get the mote first which we waited more 15 minutes The appetizer mote with chicharrón but the mote was the same mote as the frozen from the store and the chicharrón were 95% tiny tiny fat bites and 5% meat We finished it and still waited 25 minutes for the corviche that we had to ordered to go because we couldn’t stand stay there anymore For me it was a waste of...
