Mama Gentas House 124 Lincoln Avenue, Hawthorne, NJ 07506

"First things first, please don’t believe the 5 stars reviews, they all might be “paid actors”. We ordered from here today and oh my goodness the food was a major disappointment. The chimi was a dry burger patty and the pink sauce was watery (hard to describe). The fries were pale and bland (super mid). The chicken tenders were chicken tenders nothing special. Please do yourself a favor and go to any other restaurant because you will regret eating here. Hopefully they head towards the right direction because at the moment, I wouldn’t even eat free food from here."

"This place was such a disappointment. There were so many 5 star reviews on here I was really surprised. We went on a Friday night and this place was a dead zone. The pizza was okay nothing amazing but not bad. The quesadilla we got was terrible though. I have made better quesadillas at 3 am in the microwave than what I was served. It was overstuffed with flavorless shredded chicken, then a very thick layer of cheese that was lukewarm and barely melted, and if that wasn’t bad enough I’m pretty sure they used ketchup instead of salsa. Honestly I was just confused by the whole experience. The printed menu was only available in Spanish and so you would imagine their quesadillas would be better. We had to wait a long time for our food and the waitress was pretty cold towards us. The place had me wishing I had gone to Taco Bell. I would have been more content with the quality of the food. I only give this place a few months to exist if it doesn’t do more to improve there food, service and vibe. People have come to expect more from restaurants at this price. I hope this place figures it out. But until then just know that all the 5 star reviews on here are misleading."

Is a great place to visit with your loved ones. The waitress Maria is so attentive and caring always making sure we felt comfortable at all times. They have a variety of natural juices to choose from my son had chinola and he loved it. Go visit Mama Genta House and you won’t regret it."
