I got surprised that I found a Dominican restaurant in Vermont, beautiful decoration, the food was delicious and fresh, prices are just a little high but when the food arrive you forget everything. I know very well the Dominican food and I would recommend to anyone in Burlington that try at least the empanadas and you won’t regret.

Loved Cafe Mamajuana! The chimi burger and wings were incredible. The wing sides are amazing, both the guava bbq and the jicama pineapple salsa. The side of tostones were perfect and the canoa de Carne was good as well, and a very generous portion (2 meals for me). Will be back ASAP, going to have to try the chimi burger on tostones and some empandas. Thank you so much for the delicious, fresh & flavorful food!

I enjoyed all my food, especially my entree, but was very unimpressed with portion sizes for price. Could that be more of a reflection of being used to very large American portion sizes? Possibly. That being said, I like to assume desserts can easily be shared between two people but it was hard to share our dessert we got. The pickled red onions that accompanied our meals elevated everything. Will be returning!

Cafe Mamajuana is a hidden restaurant in the north end that teleports you out of vermont. The menu is unique and well thought out- its no wonder they were nominated for a james beard award! I got the Pescado Frito (fried red snapper) after seeing that they finally had it back in stock and was thoroughly impressed. The fish was perfectly cooked, and tasted incredible. The staff were so friendly and happily chatted despite being busy, all in all i had a great experience. Cant wait to return and try some of their creative specials!

We ordered takeout for dinner from here and everything was fantastic! Each dish and accompanying sauce was flavorful and unique. The wings and Canoa de Carne were our favorites. On top of the delicious food, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We’ll definitely be returning here whenever we visit Burlington.

I’ve only been in once but I was definitely impressed, great vibe cool people delicious food. I don’t eat fried food often but if I am going to it’ll be from a place like this those Bean empanadas are on point. Oh and the sauces wow. Every chef knows it’s the sauce that makes the dish!

This review is going to come across as gushing but, I am just blown away after eating here. There’s nothing else like this in Burlington. I’ve eaten at places with similar vibes in larger cities but not in Burlington. Every dish we tried was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. The service was attentive and quick. Even the seemingly random location makes you feel like you’re discovering something special. I mean this is special. We lack diversity in our restaurant offerings here so, to find a really good Dominican restaurant hidden away among the houses in the Old North End, it’s so refreshing. Not only do I absolutely want to come back here, I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes.

The sauces and empanadas are 10/10. We also had the canoa with pernil, which was very tasty… just not as good as the empanadas.

The food was great, ordering for pick up was quick, and the pick up was also fast. Make sure to check you order before you leave the site.
