Mama Rosa Grill Express

I have gone here when they first opened as an express grill with burritos and honestly I wasn’t a huge fan. HOWEVER, recently they started doing a weekend buffet with sole classic Filipino dishes. With this recent change, for only $20 I would highly recommend! The options are great for the cost and they were very good about keeping fresh food on the buffet line. My favorite was the lechon and the milkfish. The owner was also super friendly! Welcoming all his guests as they walked in and some who looked like regulars. The space isn’t large and filled up fast so not sure if large groups can be accommodated. Plenty of parking outside as well so no need to worry about that.

Mama Rosa Express in Middle River has undergone a fascinating evolution. What started as a humble burger and burrito joint on Route 40, morphed into a Filipino bodega, and has now blossomed into a full-fledged restaurant, complete with a Saturday morning breakfast buffet that's an absolute steal. I recently had the pleasure of attending the inaugural Saturday of their new buffet, and I left thoroughly impressed.

I went today 12/3/25 at 4:30 pm The Leydi at front was super rude , she even didn’t looked at me wen I tried to make the order, honestly I always come at this place but never late at this time , always at noon, that lady was so rude, feel so disappointed about customer service at this place now. I didn’t make any order because no one a the place care about my order.

They always have good food and service but I just got this mamon today and I would have never seen the mold on it if I didn’t flip it over. I wish I would’ve seen it in the store🤦🏽‍♀️

Updating my review because they closed and reopened under a new business model. Stopped in with some coworkers for dine-in lunch on a weekday, and while they seemed a bit confused by that (I guess they primarily do takeout here?) they took our order and we ate outside. I got the pork sisig rice and shared some lumpiang, everything was tasty and I would get food from here again.
