The service stands out as the thing that made this most enjoyable, the staff were amazing and that is quite an accomplishment because it was a very busy night. Food of course was also good but what we expected from Earls.

It was a great night celebrating a friend's birthday. The overall atmosphere was awesome, although a little loud, totally fun, especially on a Monday night. Our server, Nicola, was a 10 ot of 10. She was fun and professional, knowledgeable about the menu and totally great. I wish Mamakas was closer to home so u could be a regular. Leila

Pleasant experience from sitting to leaving. The server was polite, respectful, and patient. The music is latin, which is expected from this place, and I was happy to hear that it was indeed real latin music. The cocktails were strong in liquor, which I enjoyed. The food was delicious and it didn't took long to come, overall service was fast.

Food was delicious and service welcoming and attentive. While it's a small space and the restaurant was crowded it was still comfortable and did not feel cramped. Really liked the vibe and the food. Will definitely be back.
