We visited for our final meal on our G Adventures tour. Unfortunately they had run out of my first choice of food but our waiter was really great and spoke to the kitchen to arrange a customised meal for my dietary requirements, it was a chicken salad which I was really happy with. The cocktails were strong, I had the El Diablo, and tasted great (prices on a par with other places in Medellin COP 30000 to 45000 APX). I like that the restaurant seems to specify in local cuisine and it was only a short walk from Viajero where we were staying.

Delicious full of flavor and unique. This is a fun vibrant must hit spot in Medellin . In the heart of the Poblado neighborhood of Medellin, Mamasita delivers on Colombian classics like arepas and tostones and the soupa . Come here hungry and leave very happy. This place is a high recommend on my list. It would be a bib gourmand if Michelin came to visit!!!!

This restaurant is located in the heart of Jardin Latino!!! A renovated school with lots of restaurants, locals shops and live music almost every day!!! Its hand made local food is very representative of medellin and has an unique flavor dificult to get in other traditional restaurants. Great place for couples or groups
Of friends looking to get in touch with “paisa” culture. Definitly will get back again!!!

Today was my birthday and I went in a little late, past 9 pm. The restaurant choices for a monday in Medellin are slim so I went to this place as per its reviews.
I will absolutely give props to the chef for the creativty with the local ingredients. Beef with a caramelized onions and brown sugar reduction? Brilliant!
Cassaveawaffles with dulce de leche and vanilla ice cream? Perfect!
My disappointmed came with the bill when I noticed the reason why the cocktail pricing was NOT listed in the menu (got charged even more than my main) and the waitress decided to bypass colombian law and charge me tip without asking (my colombian friends have advised restaurants were hiking up tips SO high they made it mandatory to ask if you want to tip).
So yeah, happy birthday to me, I wont step foot on that place again.

HOW FATAL!
Two days ago I was at Mamasita with some friends and we tried their Blody and it is terrible. One of them recommended it to me because they made it so delicious but it tasted too bad to me, even my friend says it's not the same, the girl Marcela's service was excellent, she didn't charge us for the cocktail. Today we returned to give them a new opportunity and it went very badly, I expected more. Our drinks arrived a long time after the meal and the waiter didn't even flinch. The food was very delicious but it arrived not so hot. I actually wanted to wait for their cocktails but the wait wasn't worth it, they didn't taste good. They were not balanced according to what it said and its flavor. As I said before to an opinion. They have very cool ideas for their cocktails but they don't know how to make their cocktails or their juices well, which are even watery. I hope one day I really want to return and see that everything can be better. Today's service very regular.

This vibrant place represents to best of local Colombian cuisine. The restaurant is nicely decorated with vibrant music playing in the background. The place was packed; however, we had a great table even without a reservation. Our server Marcella was always waiting on us and bringing fresh ice throughout the meal.
The menu has something for everyone. The chicharron picada so good with crunchy pieces of pork belly and mini arepas. The baby potatoes to dip in an outstanding guacamole are an excellent appetizer. The bandeja paisa although not the biggest in Medellin was certainly filling. Drinks are also a specialty, and cocktails are perfectly made. One of the best is the Pisco Sour. Also, very affordable half bottles of local rum to mix with Coca Cola. (buy the half bottle as is better deal than the shots).
The restaurant represents the best of Medellin, and I highly recommend to anyone visiting the city and most certainly would return.

The food was very average in relation to the price, the grilled morrillo almost didn't taste like anything, the blood sausage had a strange flavor and in general everything was very "meh". The atmosphere is good, but the service is quite bad, they took a long time to bring us the bill and included the service without asking, taking into account that this is ILLEGAL, unfortunately we realized it after we had already left the restaurant. I find it completely disgusting that they do this, surely taking advantage of the foreigners who visit the restaurant and who are used to having to pay tips everywhere and do not know that here it is voluntary. Needless to say, we will not eat here again, the 4.5 rating they have is totally misleading.

Very good service! We went without reservation and they took care of us immediately offering something to drimk in the bar and then they sat us in a table in 5 mins.
Good vibe, music and amazing food. I am not a cocktail guy so I didnt try them bi they bartenders look like they knew their stuff.
The waiter who attended us (Carlos) was super nice and helpful recommending food.
Recommendation, the combo tocino parrandero (perfect for 2 people) and please DO NOT MISS the yuca waffles for dessert. Incredible.

Went here as per recommendation by my hostel which is a block away. I asked for a good place to eat local colombian cuisine and mamasita did not disappoint.
Since I was eating solo, on my first night, I arrived early and was able to get a table. my server was very nice and attentive. i was lucky enough to get cheap drinks as it was still happy hour. the main hostess was very nice as well and she was very welcoming.
The following night, I went back again as I figured what could go wrong. Oh boy, was I up for something.
The same main hostess remembered me and asked if I can sit on the bar as the tables are all full. I have no issue.....I am from NYC, I've eaten at bars before countless time.
I got there when it was getting close for the happy hour to end so the bartenders (2 of them) were very busy. I ordered my drink (I wasn't offered for the happy hour drink) and main entree.
I waited for 20 minutes for the my food to arrive. By the time it arrived, happy hour was already over so the bar was no longer chaotic. Here's the kicker - I have not received my drink. Yes, I was sitting on the bar (the bartender was standing my arms length) and i had a food but no drink. I got annoyed and as a server if I can get a water while I eat my food and wait for my drink. The server went to the manager as he was not my server and saw my frustration.
I had to wait since I ordered a cocktail. I would usually have a2nd drink by now but I just can't figured why I had to beg for a drink I ordered.
As mentioned, food is good. Just the service can be, as one commenter mentioned, dodgy.

Being born in Medellin, I’m not easily impressed by paisa food.
However, the experience at Mamasitas is several levels above your regular typical restaurant.
If you’re ever in Medellin, maje sure to visit Mamasitas, you won’t regret it.

The title says it all. Went Saturday night with friends to this huge and buzzy restaurant. There was a live band who were brilliant and had everyone dancing in their seats. I had the fish of the day which came in a tasty coconut sauce - fish was fresh and perfectly cooked. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. If the owners opened one in London they’d make a fortune!

Seriously, the best bandeja paisa I have ever tasted. I tried food from all over the world and this is some of the best. The plátano al horno was incredible. When my food arrived, I found a piece of metal, they immediately replaced my entire meal for free, and they even investigated where it came from (a piece from a sink handle). All this was mediated flawlessly by our waitress Alejandra Londoño, who was friendly and very amicable. I would’ve left a bad review, but the superb service and exquisite flavor overshadow any discomfort. We even laughed about, I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting or from Colombia.

I have been going to your restaurant for a long time and my favorite cocktail has always been the maitai that you offered us, it was the most delicious, flavor, texture, addiction, I could have had 6 in a row unfortunately that is not the case this time, my cocktail came out very chicha and my waiter who had every intention of giving us a solution but it was not possible, they did not change our cocktail and only told us that it was fine. No head waiter or anyone of any other rank came forward to give us a solution. I hope one day I feel like enjoying their delicious cocktails and happy hour good afternoons. We love Mamasita and their food is number one locally. But its quality has deteriorated.

This place was around from the corner from where I stayed and was recommended to me by the person at the desk. Our waiter was able to speak a bit of english and she was cool. I had fish with coconut sauce (pesca de dia) that come with rice and plantains which was EXCELLENT. I liked the culebrero and gulupa guandolo. We had a paiso basically as an appetizer and while it was good it didn't come exactly as on the menu. I would definitely go back.

I expected much more, I went with my partner and our waitress Sara recommended the 2X1 cocktails but when we tried them the reality was different, we didn't like it very much, they had little texture, rather liquid and the liquor didn't feel much, we They offered to fix them but we didn't agree since we didn't feel like it. The experience was not good
The food was delicious but it arrived a little late and they didn't let us know how long it would take.
All the attention of the excellent guys served us very well and always with a smile and a willingness to help us, we will try to give them another opportunity
