Mamajuana Cafe prime — Restaurant in Town of Greenburgh

I stopped by this past weekend on a Sunday afternoon when they first opened and we was impressed from the first step inside! Large glass windows provide the perfect amount of natural light which compliment the dark green and white interior. A floral wall and soft yellow lighting really tie the place together making it instagram-able but also classy. Next came the vibes. They played a mix of latin music that wasn’t too loud but noticeable enough for you to dance in your seat while still having a conversation making it the perfrct spot for Brunch with the girls or a celebration.

For appetizers we had the plantain boat with chicken (so good mom is trying to figure out how to recreate it) as main dishes I had the steak and eggs my mother had the Salmon Salad with passion fruit dressing and my grandmother had their traditional Sancocho

For brunch (especially compared to what I’m used to in Manhattan) I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food. My steak was perfectly cooked medium well and my sunny side eggs dripped beautifully over my seasoned home fries. Once I started my meal I couldn’t stop myself so I didn’t get a good photo (but still dreaming about this so I will be back). My mother loved the balance of flavors on her salad and my grandmother was impressed with how “home cooked” the Sancocho tasted.

For drinks we did a mix of the white and red sangria on the table- I had the white and did their bottomless option - in my experience bottomless can often be disappointing if the drinks are too watered down but the white sangria was sweet and not too boozy (or so I thought until I had a third)

All in all I look forward to coming back - next time will be for one of their weekend events when they typically have a DJ or live music performances. With just 6 months in the area I am sure this location will become a staple in...

TLDR - Great food, service, ambiance, and drinks. First time there. Will be back often. No complaints. Five stars.

Took my family to this restaurant for the first time yesterday. We recently moved here from NYC-proper to Scarsdale, so we're well-acquainted with other Mamajuana Cafe's, but we hadn't been to this one yet.

My opinions are predicated on four things -- food, drinks, service and ambiance.

And on that basis it was a great experience across the board -- from the food to drinks, to service and attitude/engagement, to ambiance and music playlist. Our server (Jennifer) was incredibly kind and informative. Everything she suggested was on the money.

We had a bunch of food, but I particularly enjoyed the Mofongo and Oxtail Egg Roll (yes, exactly what it sounds like); and my wife ordered a Sushi w/ I don't know what, but it was delicious.

We had many other things that I don't have the time to specifically review, but suffice it to say that everything was excellent and we have no complaints.

And before I forget, the Mamajuana Tangerine Mojito was excellent. I enjoy mojitos but dislike when it's too sweet. Having informed our waitress of my preferences, this was her suggestion, and it was on the money.

We'll be going back often from this point forward.

Highly recommend if you're...

Took an old friend out for her birthday, first time trying them out. Had a great experience. Went there the Friday before Christmas. Was not too busy, most likely the holiday weekend, which was great, didn't have to talk over the background noise. Can't tell you how the liquor was being my friend and I are beer drinkers. I can tell you the beers were icy cold. For the apps, we had the crispy pork belly in guacamole, the Oxtail egg rolls and the Mamajuana roll. The Oxtail egg roll were not bad, I would order them again. The Mamajuana roll was amazing! Now, the pork belly and guacamole, that was phenomenal! The pork belly was seasoned and fried perfectly, but whoever made the guacamole deserves a lot of praise. My friend and I scraped every bit of it. For the main, I had the chuelta Kan Kan, she had the chillo fish. Both meals were delicious and flavorful! The service excellent. Our waitress always checked with us at just the right time, the busboy kept our table clear. I will definitely be returning. There are some other items on the menu I want to try and the service was A+. As far as price goes, high-end service merits...
