I had the most AMAZING time at Mamajuana's in downtown Houston! 🎉 I came here to celebrate after landing my dream job offer, and wow, it was the perfect choice. From the moment I walked in, the vibes were 🔥—the music set the mood just right. 🎶

The drinks? On point! 🍹 The food? Absolutely delicious! 🍽️ And HUGE shoutout to Paul, the best bartender/manger ever! 🙌 He made the experience even more special with his great energy and service.

Good vibes, great music, fantastic drinks and food I’m hooked! 😍 Mamajuana's, you’ve got a customer for life. Anytime I’m in Houston, I’ll definitely be back! 💃✨

Was a great atmosphere, bartender was friendly. The waitress yelenka was amazing with the service she provided.

Overall, the atmosphere was great, I spent about $167.00 for two people. I had the mamajuana passion, not something I would get again

Fettuccini Oxtail was okay, I enjoyed the oxtail more than the fettuccini that I felt was undercooked.

The mixed skewers are something I recommend, but I wish the portion size were different for the cost. Overall, excellent.

My partner had the ribeye i did try it, and I must say very tender. I loved how it was prepared. Plantains are my weakness, and they know how to get to my heart with the way they are prepared juicy and sweet. The fries, however, I didn't enjoy.

The live music 🎶 oh yes, that brings it all together! I love how the customers got up to dance and enjoy the music and the staff was right there with them. That's a flex to have customer interactions while dining makes you feel at home.
I enjoyed my night it was great. You should check it out for yourself. If you are looking for that Latin vibe, this is the place to be.

The ambiance, the DJ, food, drink and service were all amazing. But what really amazed me was the owner and his wife costumer service. We felt like home and we will definitely be back. If you are missing a piece of Hispanic side of the NY this is the perfect place to be.

I enjoyed my upbeat dining experience here on a Sunday night with a DJ playing Latin hits and Afro Beats to keep the vibe going. The menu had a good variety of interesting items, and we enjoyed our entrees of oxtails and stuffed cassava both of which were tasty. Ultimately, I liked how well the staff coordinated to deliver attentive service.

The drinks were good. The food was very well presented and tasted great. We went on a Sunday and I wasn't aware they only serve Brunch on those days so the menu was a little limited. I tried the MamaJuana rolls they were delicious. Our server Brie ( hope I'm spelling it right I didn't see a name tag) was very friendly and clearly answered any questions I had. Great service from her.
