Aloha Mamacita

For a Mexican place there isn’t much Mexican food. The chips and salsa which is always a safe bet was chips and fish water. No salsa to be found

Had high hopes for this place. Calamari’s breading is not seasoned at all. Thai chicken came cold and uncooked in the middle and did not look appetizing when it arrived. One half of the Birria crunch wrap was great the other half not so good. Bread pudding was delicious. Had to ask for napkins, straws, and waitress was very rude after having to fix the chicken issue. She even posed as the manager when someone else already mentioned the manager was a male named Kevin. Waitress are all over the place and not attentive at all. I wondered if they are short staffed which is okay, that happens. However that should be communicated. The atmosphere is cute but birds and flies around the table the entire meal and we were sitting inside. I did speak up and head of service Shelby she said her name did fix the issue with a refund. She also mentioned it was her first day and that’s why she was there, to train staff to improve. We do appreciate her help. Will not be returning.

Update: Birria tacos were good. Thai dishes were only good when the Thai chef cooks and she supposedly only works during the day (this not dinner). When I returned for dinner and ordered the same dishes, the food quality was more like a 3-star.

Original review (when lunch was cooked by Thai chef): Super delish Thai, Vietnamese, birria tacos fusion food and really nice atmosphere with dog-friendly patio options. Even the mild spicy level dishes are very flavorful. Great presentation. I ordered tom kha and pad see yew, best I’ve had in town, food quality is on-par with Opal Thai!

Cute place but my main food was not great and the service was off. The staff were very friendly but lacked attentiveness. We had to grab our own napkins as we couldn't get their attention. It took a while to order and get the bill because of that too. The strawberry matcha latte was amazing. I highly recommend that. The avocado sauce was good but my street taco meats were over cooked. The cookie butter cheesecake cup was delicious. They validate for the parking structure as well.

mixed genre menu, thai-viet-tacos. I don’t mind this because if its delicious, it doesn’t matter. unfortunately i had a bad experience. given that kitchens are run by people, maybe it was bad timing. maybe i ordered wrong, maybe i should have stuck with their birria tacos which are the most popular item. but enuff excuses: if you are gonna have pad thai on your menu for 17bucks, you need to make a reasonable attempt to get it right. first of all, i know when noodles have been heated up in a microwave. its got that dry unevenly heated up hotspots. if you’ve ever taken home leftover food, then nuked it next day for lunch, you know what im talking about. anything fresh off the wok doesn’t have this dead texture. the pork bits were grissly and tuff, and for mysterious reasons, the ground peanuts were clumpy soggy mess. i hate wasting food, and this was a colossal waste. just get it off the menu of you cant do it right. Now, the kitchen is obviously focused on everything birria… although it’s trending on social media, you can’t rely on that in the long game. do the basics right. i will probably come back to try the birria stuff, but until then i stand by my review.

Parking: get the validation stamp

The two stars come from the banana pudding. The broth was straight tar and very salty, not to mention a very tiny amount. The crunch wrap had no crunch, just thick and soggy. The only good thing to come out of this was the banana pudding. I ordered on DD and I had it in hand within 10 minutes, so there isn’t much of an excuse.

I don’t usually leave reviews unless it something outstanding. But this outstanding is in a very bad term. I ordered fried shrimp rolls and the fired shrimp is bitter, seems like the food is spoiled a year ago but they deep fried hopefully is okay. But hell this can lead to food poisoning. I drove 25 minutes just to have lunch here because I saw the amazing videos and images from instagram. But nothing is good. All food comes to the table is cold and nothing is fresh. I am not picky eater but please don’t serve bad food. It gross me out for a hour afterwards

Wish I could put 0 stars. I pre-ordered 3 items to be dropped off today and they cancelled my order. Now delivery charges are $18. What a joke!

Can’t believe the prices for these meals that I did not enjoy at all. The Calamari and the Mini fish and chips is what i ordered and they all taste like it’s been fried in very old cooking oil that leaves a very nasty after taste and they also look and taste as if it was made a long time, very soggy. Fries are also salty. Disappointed customer and i do not recommend Aloha Mamacita. I WANT A REFUND PLEASE

I tried their new Dubai matcha and chocolate coffee. They tasted really good but I almost had buyers remorse when I saw what it was going to cost me. It's not even for a large but for the medium. Their other drinks avg around $7 but these 2 are outrageously expensive. I'd say $8-$9 would have been okay but $12, come on.
The staff are friendly when you speak to them but whoever the Mgr is needs to provide training to all their staff. When you see customers come in and stand at the reception desk because the sign says, wait to be seated, then some needs to acknowledge them. You can't have staff look at customers walk in or walk by them and not say anything. Even though it may not be your job, it is common curiously to acknowledge in coming customers. At least say, welcome, be right with you, or someone will be with you shortly. I stood there for a few minutes until I realized I could order take out at the counter. Twice, I had staff just look at me.
I saw another customer stand there, walked by twice by a server and no one said anything. After 5 minutes the customer just left.
This is just bad customer service and can be avoided easily.

Just left after 15mins waiting at the table. Nobody even stopped by. There were only 2 other tables. Terrible service. Such a waste of time

Aloaha- Excellent food and great service. The Birria tacos were tasty and hit the spot. The decor and atmosphere is fun and laid back. If you're catching the cruise ship it's conveniently located near the pier.

one of the servers made my friend a drink that wasn’t on the menu because she wasn’t sure what she wanted. He gave her a suggestion and my friend agreed and it was SOOOOOO GOOD! It was just a fruit tea and it was AMAZING. They also have a lot of great cheesecake and pudding it’s really good highly recommend.
