   Service was absolutely horrible. I do not recommend wasting your time and money here. Once we all sat down our server did not give us any water for about an hour we had to remind her three times (by that time our food was already there). We ordered two guacamole for apps, but we had wanted to do guacamole and queso fundido, she said she had already put it the order for the two guacamoles, it does not hurt to walk to the kitchen to tell them to cancel the order. YOU LITERALLY PUT IT IN TWO SECONDS AGO. Guacamole took about 15 minutes to come out, wasn’t bad. Server never took our beverage order she assumed we all wanted water. Once we put in our food order, we finally decided to put in our drink order. My mom wanted coffee, she said there’s no coffee, what kinda of brunch spot doesn’t have coffee? My little cousin wanted agua de piña, did not have it. I wanted chai, she said they don’t have coffee, it’s literally tea. My cousin wanted matcha, she said there’s no coffee, once again it’s tea. What kind of brunch doesn’t have any of these things not to mention they didn’t have waffles. The chilaquiles don’t come with egg and to add any protein it’s an extra 20 dollars. The steak and eggs on the menu said it costs 28 and on the bill she charged 38. The food was very bland such a poor experience for my birthday. Server did not even acknowledge my birthday reservation. When we ordered my cousins wanted coke she never brought them out. My boyfriend never got his lemonade as well. She brought all drink orders one hour, we were almost done with our food. Food came out all at different times we couldn’t even enjoy our food together. SUCH A HORRIBLE RESTAURANT

   Absolutely the worst service I have ever experienced at Mamma Por Dios. Waited half an hour for drinks, no coffee for brunch, the food took one and half hours for the first meal to come and then 30 minutes later the other two meals came out cold and the fourth meal never came out. The food that came out was cold and we didn’t eat it. We paid for the cocktails and left hungry to go somewhere else for brunch. This was supposed to be a fun Birthday brunch and was a huge disaster. Two other tables followed suit and walked out also. I will never go back. Adios Mama.

   Our first time at Mama Por Dios. The food and ambiance were perfect for a date night. Lively and fun, with lots of great decor. Service was good, but slow. Sat at the table for at least 10 minutes and had to ask who our server was. Food and drinks delivered slowly, and one order of ceviche did not arrive until after our entrees. We will give them another shot, as the food and atmosphere made up for the slow service (not poor service, just slow).

   Its a very fun place with its club environment. Very nice and friendly staff, however during holidays such as Valentine’s day, the wait times are very long. Waited an hour for food. Besides that very fun experience

   We paid $50 to reserve a table decorated for valentines and all it had it was a red napkin with a little candle in the middle with like 1 flower… also my reservation was at 9:45 and they had no reserved tables they were taking people as coming. Definitely they were not ready for reservations and I would like to get my money back for the table reservation.

   It took 20 mins to be seated after the reservation time, the experience with rose petals was not worth it. No napkins no candles. The server was nice however the wait was long between checking on us. It took about 50 mins to receive our food and all the food was cold. However the food was full of flavor.

   Overall a very good experience. the wait staff was over worked due to it being Valentine's Day but they did a great job under the circumstances. her chicken Molé was the best we've ever had. my prawns Ranchero were very good but slightly overcooked and the prime asada tacos were spot on. the cocktails were outstanding and with a great ptesentation. the DJ played great music and the place was a party. overall we both enjoyed it. the total bill was $400 En general, una muy buena experiencia. el personal de servicio estaba sobrecargado de trabajo debido a que es el día de San Valentín, pero hicieron un gran trabajo dadas las circunstancias. su pollo Molé fue el mejor que hemos tenido. mis gambas Ranchero eran muy buenos, pero un poco recocido y los tacos de primera asada estaban en su punto. los cócteles eran excepcionales y con una gran ptesentation. el DJ tocaba buena música y el lugar era una fiesta. en general, ambos disfrutamos. la cuenta total fue de $ 400

   This was our second time here and learned from our first visit to always check our bill - we were overcharged the listed price for drinks, charged an extra drink, and they would not correct the bill and instead offered us another drink. Additionally, the restaurant should have been clear regarding the $50 valentines set up, we paid for two cheap red napkins and 10 rose petals sprinkled on our table. Servers need to be trained on how to provide at the minimum baseline customer service.
