What People Are Saying About Mamita Peruvian Restaurant
The Editor
Martha Burr
Citysearch
In Short – Squeezed between Brand Boulevard's shiny car dealerships, this cheery Peruvian eatery is clean, bright and homey. Neighborhood crowds gather around white tablecloths, retro-style padded chairs and comfy booths, amidst mirrors, flowers and colorful murals of Colonial Peru. Peruvian seafood specialties include mixed seviche, fried calamari, seafood chowder, spicy shrimp and whole fried fish. Other popular dishes are chicken and rice, fried steak, yucca and plantains, and boiled potatoes with creamy garlic cheese sauce.

Great Peruvian Seafood and Steak Restaurant. Star! Star! Star! Star! Star! 5 STARS
by YesYesYesYes
Mamita's was fantastic. Great food, great prices, and the service was good also. Expect a bit of wait if the restaurant is full, and it typically is during the rush hour. This is an authentic Latin America restaurant so if you are a fan of one of the main stream Latin Food chain restaurants and are expecting to get your food on the clock because it was microwaved and was prepackaged from a factory in the middle of the dessert then this place is not for you. Excellent Talapia fish breaded and deep fried, muscle soup, calamari, steak and more. Authentic is the thing to remember here, think as if you were in Peru. The service is great in my opinion in fact I loved watching the employees sweating and running to take care of everyone, it simply added to the atmosphere. Remember you go to a restaurant for the food and Mamita's knows what they are doing. Further the employees were so sweet, so authentic themselves. I love this place and try to frequent it as often as possible. I take my family and friends there, we even did a mother's day party at Mamita's Peruvian Restaurant.
- Pros: Food & Prices
- Cons: Expect a bit of a wait during busy times

Lousy service and bad attitude. Avoid.
by tunafish28
Our group of 3 ordered our food and it did not come in 45 minutes. We politely asked when our lunch would be ready. The waitress couldn't tell us when it would be ready and told us to call ahead next time. We left. There will not be a "next time" and we'll never go back. LOUSY customer service and extremely rude staff.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Lousy service
