First time eating here. So we tried a small variety on the menu. The “Jamaican Me Crazy Fries” were to die for! A meal in itself. The “Cannon Ball (Yucca Relleno) were excellent. Crispy & Savory The “Beef Empanda” were also excellent the beef filling has perfect amount of spice that gives it a nice kick. We will definitely come back for some Excellent Food.

We came back a little over a week ago and the food was great. Jerk chicken wings = . Our server, Bridget, was so great!! Very personable and true service with a smile.
Much better than i expected.whenever i see “fusion” i lower my expectations. I was really surprised with this place though. I got the combo and really enjoyed it.the empanadas were flavorful, the coconut rice had good flavor and wasn’t sticky or soggy. My husband got the jerk chicken and i thought it was good. They got the flavor without the spice. Even though i like my jerk chicken with some kick, it was still tasty.

Wow! This place was an unexpected surprise! The food was delicious. Had the Mas combo, empanadas, yucca balls, arroz con gandules and tostones. Everything was amazing and really flavorful. I will definitely be back.

Food was delicious . Service was decent. Ambience was on point with the theme. Will definitely be back for more delicious food. Don’t leave without trying the bread pudding for dessert. It was excellent. I would even love to have a birthday celebration there.

Only my second time at this place and I am in love with Cuban Tapas cuisine. The empanadas and flautas were too die for. Their coconut rice and black beans fills in any space left with deliciousness.
Kudos for the excellent service. They work hard at Mamas and Tapas. Despite being under staffed they had it under control. We never felt neglected.
Try the Tropical Bavarian Betty cake. You will be glad you did.

Man didn’t really know what to expect here but I was blown away by the taste. It’s looks like a lot but the food is surprisingly light and filling. The sauce on the foods has a little kick to it which was great. Nice place and very friendly staff. the price was about average.

So glad I found another hidden gem in Central Valley. This family restaurant (I’m assuming from all the family pictures on the wall) has some of the best tapas in town!
To be honest, all dishes we tried were delicious!
*Cannon Ball (Yucca Relleno) – 5 big stars! Fried yucca balls stuffed with seasoned ground beef and chorizo. If you like Potato Balls from Porto’s Barkery (a Cuban bakery chain in LA), you MUST give these a try when they are fresh. It’s like an upgraded potato ball drizzled with Sriracha aioli (if I may say so).
*Jerk Chicken Salad – 4.5 stars. This is one of the best salads I’ve had this year. Fresh green with cucumber, tomato, mango salsa with lime cilantro vinegerette, and a super generous portion of tender jerk chicken
*Cubano sliders – 4 stars. Mini slider with pork shoulder, thinly sliced ham topped with melted Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. The best part of the grilled cheese skirt, which melted together with the meat. Oh mine it was delicious.
*Jerk Chicken Wings – 3.5 stars. $12 for a dozen wings is a great deal. The sauce wasn’t my favourite because it had a lot of ginger. But my fiance enjoyed the jerk sauce a lot.
Overall, this place has some of the best Cuba/Puerto Rican/Caribbean food I’ve ever tried. I almost don’t want more people to know about it. Just kidding, great food must be shared.

Cubano Sandwich + Sweet Plantains. The mustard and char on the ham prevented me from tasting the Garlic Sriracha Aioli. But I ate the whole thing, so it wasn’t a bad sandwich. The char on the Plantains was kinda nice. Bananas were sweet and tangy. Tropical Bavarian Betty dessert (on in-house menu) — white cake with Bavarian cream, crushed pineapple, whip cream, toasted coconut (according to menu). I did not taste toasted coconut. And I forgot there was cake involved because it was lost somewhere in the middle of the Parfait-style dessert. Even though I ate the whole thing, I kept thinking, “if only there were chopped pecans on top…” But that’s just me.
‘Mamma’ was all over the customer service. Daughter (?)/’Not the mamma’ lost her focus even moreso after her son and boyfriend arrived. Mammas and the Tapas regulars and first-timers like me where there. The dining area was filling up. Take-out orders were coming and going also. I sat at the bar. I do not recommend you do this if you want to be in the thick of it all.
Everyone was friendly. I will go back. There are several more items on the menu I’d like to try.
P.S., I just realized I wasn’t charged for the Arnold Palmer that the ‘Not the mamma’ served me. Feel free to add it on my next bill. Cheers!
