Mamajuana Cafe 247 Dyckman Street, Manhattan, New York 10034

"I had heard about this restaurant from multiple people and wanted to try it out. Went there with a friend on Tuesday night. We made reservations, but it was not needed. The place was only 1/4 full. We got seated quickly and a woman came around and took our pictures. They looked good and I bought one. The food service was comically slow and the wait time between plates needs to be shortened. I ordered the penne pasta with chicken and enjoyed it and rhe tres Leches dessert was to die for! I'd go back just for the dessert!"

"This was a great place to eat and chill. My girls took me here to celebrate my birthday. It turned out to be a beautiful day, so we ate outside. Our food was delicious and the service was great. There was some kind of event/concert going on that day, so the street was closed off, and we got to enjoy the music while we watched people go by. I will definitely go back. I recommend it!"

"We visited the Dyckman location and were blown away by the ambiance, music, and service. Our server was Donna. Her radiant smile and pleasant demeanor made us feel at home! Whether you sit inside or outdoors, the food is great and the vibe is chill. Enjoy! Mr. Garcia"

"Visited on a Sunday. We did the All You Can Eat buffet for $39. It included the unlimited drinks. Great vibe, and music. The music wasn’t too loud where we couldn’t hear each other and the food was good. Drinks were strong, no complaints. Our waiter was great! And there’s hookah available too. Just remember to bring cash if you don’t want to use the ATM. There was a few people celebrating their birthdays and Mamajuana certainly helps with the celebration. It was nice to see. Def recommend."
