Mama Evie’s is absolute fire! Food is DELICIOUS. From the stewed chicken, to the pollo asado , the pernil - omg the pernil was cooked to perfection. The rice - on point. Black beans - bang bang.To top it all off, Mama Evie is super sweet. You can tell she takes pride in her food and her restaurant.

We stopped into this amazing restaurant by chance, and boy were we happy we did! This home-style cooking warmed my sole! In addition to the amazing food and service, they informed us that they always donate their remaining food to those in need every night ? They had also organized a coat and blanket drive for the homeless and delivered these items personally out on the streets. Please support beautiful businesses like this in our area.

Great business owner, fresh food, phenomenal customer service and out of this world home made rice pudding. This is the spot to go. Portuguese fisherman quality food for a fraction of the price.

First time trying their food today and we loved it! Many options to choose from and everything we had was very flavorful! Looking forward to coming back for more. Definitely stop by and give it a try.

11/15/21 - I visited today and I ordered the Puerto Rican plate con pastel and my husband ordered a Puerto Rican plate con alcupurria. The food was surprisingly so good and it was plentiful. Each plate was in the vicinity of $17 each. If Mami Evi sells those pasteles de guineo congelado, I will buy for Thanksgiving/dia de accion de gracias. Instead of potato in the pork stew for pasteles, they use chick peas/garbanzos. This does not compromise the taste, actually I liked it more.

This place is absolutely amazing! Not only is the food here delicious, they put in a last minute order for a school party for 28 students and prepared it an hr before opening. They really saved the day and the kids loved it!!! I also love how it’s a family owned restaurant. I just moved out here and I have to say this is my favorite restaurant so far!

Been here a couple times and stopped by again today. As always amazing home cooked food and kind service. Their stew chicken brought me back to childhood. To my knowledge they do have a rotating menu, so different options on different days which definitely keeps the experience interesting.Cant wait to visit again.
Delicious food! A must try when you're in the neighborhood.

This is not a carribean place it's a Spanish restaurant, the food is not prepared properly. The business should be labeled Latin carribean so people know its Spanish food. When I hear the name carribean I am looking for oxtail and a decently made Yuka dish.
