Their lumpia is quite delicious. I'm a big fan of the calamari sisig and Lechon kawali!

We ordered the traditional pork (snout and ears) sisig and the 7pcs lechon kawali. I loved the crispiness of the sisig and the crunch of the lechon kawali. I love the quantity/portion of the rice because it was very filling. I also liked the little store that featured some filipino favorites.
I will definitely come back again for the other dishes. Staff could be friendlier but the food makes it worth it to come back.

The pork sisig was great. Loved the sinigang with pork. I recommend the garlic rice if you love garlic. The halo halo was refreshing. You order at the counter and then pay for the meal when you’re done.

Mama Fina's has always been such a staple restaurant for local Filipinos in the community. Known for their sisig, Mama Fina's never disappoints to provide high quality and delicious food. Some of my favorite dishes include the sisig as well as the lumpia and ube shake. From small orders to catering for formal events, I've never been disappointed!
The staff are very nice and I find the environment quite cozy! If you are feeling homesick and in need for some comfort food, Mama Fina's is the way to go!

I came here with my family because we were craving Filipino food and received multiple recommendations of this place. Ordering the food was super easy - we just had to order all our food and drinks at the counter. The service here is quick and efficient. We ordered the sizzling pork belly sisig, chicken sisig, bbq pork with java rice, bulalo, and laing. We also ordered the mango smoothie and avocado shake. All of the dishes were delicious but the sisig here is the BEST we’ve ever had! Definitely don’t pass up on ordering it if you ever visit. For the quality of the food, the prices here are reasonable. The drinks were not too sweet also. We finished our lunch with some halo halo which was a huge portion. Very satisfied with our meal and will definitely come again!

I am not really from Jersey and it happened that Im around fort lee and I craved for some Filipino Food and Mama Fina's was just 4mi away. Obviously it was my first time coming here. So, the place was a bit weird esp the way you order and can get a table. The vibe is not really vibing— the customer service here sucks. I mistakenly ordered sisig squid probably instead of sizzling, i guess? But I just wanna make it sure so I went to front desk and asked. Shout out to the old man and the tall skinny guy in front. You both get annoyed when I asked about the sisig and gave me a look like i'm crayyy. 🙄😑 Cause for me it tasted like all fats. It wasn't really for me. So I didn't ask for any to go box for me to carry that all the way to New York. I was also nice to them and didn't really argue about it. I was there to eat cause I want Filipino food 🥴
Also for the side dish, bulalo soup is 3/5 for me. Soup was a bit salty but the meat was tender. Bicol express looks like all pepper (you barely see any pork meats— i don't know if you guys don't have enough pork already but yea. It looks like a pepper bicol express garnished w pork 🥲)
I even say bye and thank you despite of my disappointments. Well it was still the same people that I mentioned above. The crew here can do better really. A lot of people already writing the same review but the behavior or even the attitude still the same.

When craving for Filipino foods, this is the place to be in Hackensack. Has a boba shop and a grocery store in the restaurant. Like every one who has eaten here, you have to try the pork sisig and kawali. It's really good. I have tried so many variations from different restaurants but so far this is the best. 4 stars for atmosphere, it's not your typical restaurant that you sit down and get served. You have to order at the counter first then get seated. A few tables are right next to the grocery items that are on display. 4 stars for service, I ordered Matcha boba and got Mocha. Not a big deal, I didn't want to return it so I re-ordered. I said Matcha the green one. The guy takes the order and brings it across the counter when a younger lady was making boba teas. As she was preparing I noticed she grabbed the brown powder. And I stopped her and I said Matcha! She was about to make me another Mocha. No not that but Matcha Green Tea, the green powder. And she made me the right one but they ran out of boba pearls. I just said that's ok.

Ordered the Fried chicken wings, in case I didn’t like their version of Kare Kare and Tuna sig sig. I’ll pass on the wings next time. Kare kare really nice flavors, missing bagoong though. Tuna sig sig, that’s a one and done for me. Maybe just me, more of a grocery store vibe that also sells food than a restaurant. But, I’m sure I’ll return to give it another try.
