No problem. We use to live in Miami and it’s hard to find Spanish food in Vermont. I believe they are from Honduras and speak fluent Spanish. The vibe brought us back a bit to Miami. Highly recommend the empanadas, taquitos, and birria tacos. The plantains were not bad either. We didn’t finish our food at cafe mamajuana is wasn’t really edible and very upsetting as we were happy to find a Dominican restaurant, but we could have went on a bad day.

You didn't catch them on a bad day. Mamajuana couldn't pass the very low bar of properly cooking plantains.

Good to know. She refuses to give them another try.

As a Dominican living in VT, can confirm I was also not impressed with Mamajuana. Tried it twice, never again.

I'm from Miami, too. Husband is from VT so we moved up a few years ago. I think I'm 97% adjusted but that 3% misses the food! I'd settle for pollo tropical lol

Ohhhh I miss Pollo Tropical so much. They closed all the ones in NJ years ago. Their fries with curry mustard were amazing, and their pulled pork. I need to go to one next time I am in FL.
