Mamacitas Puerto Rican Kitchen

I ate lunch at Mamacitas twice in one week and cannot sing enough praises about how delicious the food is. Pollo Guisado, Birria Quesadillas, Empanadas, Coconut Rice... there isn't a bad thing on the menu at this amazing Puerto Rican gem. BUT... and it's a very important but... I HAVE to praise this place for its Birria Thursday. It is delicious, incredibly flavorful and has a unique taste that makes it superior to any birria I've had the pleasure of eating elsewhere. I ordered the birria quesadilla and was immediately blown away with the generous portion sizing, followed immediately by the warm, tantalizing scents wafting off out of the to-go container that was holding my meal. The consomme that came with my quesadilla was rich, bursting with flavor and elevated my already delectable que

The food was just okay. The rice and beans were pretty plain. The carne asada tacos were a bit chewy. The chicken was overly spicy. The plantains were good. Super cold and hard chairs. Enjoyed the music. The staff was very friendly and personable.

The inside of this establishment is smaller than desirable to have a meal and conversation. My experience was not great as the table next to us spent 30 minutes complaining and even when the owner comped their meals and addressed the concerns they still complained. Due to the awkward energy our waitress was inattentive to our table in the corner next to this group. Menu is plentiful with some great options. I didn't have a margarita, but I saw others and the size to me was not a 12 dollar drink. I also felt that the price of the loaded fries was overpriced as well, I left hungry which is almost impossible to do with Mexican food. I got the macdaddy fries, which were advertised to be hot honey fries. As someone who has hot honey frequently there was not an ounce of honey on my dish. The me

We had the Cuban sandwich, mofongo and the birria tacos to go.. the dine in area is small and basic but the food was excellent. The Cuban was large and came with seasoned fries both were excellent. (Fries were outstanding cajun style) The mofongo is large and tasty. The birria tacos were excellent, the consomme it comes with was outstanding. A bit different than what I've had before but a good different.. A lot of take out orders coming in while we ate. We recommend this small gem and will frequent it often.

Overall, the food was okay. I do wish they automatically brought chips and salsa to the table. We ended up ordering salsa instead, and it was honestly the weirdest salsa I have ever had. The beef barbacoa tacos were still pretty good and very flavorful. Unfortunately, we were seated to the right as soon as you walk in. It is a small space with limited seating, but every time someone came in, it got sooo cold. I would try it again since it might have been a fluke, but I would probably order takeout next time.
