Mammalinda

I also ate at Mamalindas several times in 2004. My experience is different from Gabriel's. I thought the food was good and found the owner very friendly. Her restaurant became like a home to me while I was in New York, a place I could go and be greeted warmly and given a good meal at a moderate price. And I too enjoyed the cold bottles of Quilmes. Pros: good food, friendly service Cons: Didn't notice any more

From the minute we walked thru the door we felt at home. Staff was friendly as were the patrons of the restaurant. I was looking to eat a large steak but I wanted a lot of flavor. Arnaldo, the waiter, pointed out that the biggest steak was not the best tasting one. So I went with his suggestion and had a smaller steak and was not dissappointed. That steak was great, tender and delicious. I am used to texas steaks that have that smoky taste but this meat had a flavor that just exploded in your mouth. I also had some lentel soup was delicious and did not have cuaresma taste. To finish the meal I had a Quilmes beer which was outstanding. The whole experience was great and we look forward to eating there again the next time we are in NY. Many thanks to Arnaldo for being so attentive. You really made us feel at home. Pros: Fast service, decor was down to earth, feel at home ambience more

The sauce served with the ""italian meals"" is sweet it taste more like dessert. The service is horrible, the owner thinks shes got some 5 star restaurant when its more like 2. If you have to eat there order the milanesas its the only decent thing. The menus are badly translated. The owner only pays attention to you if you have a large group which means money. Otherwise your crap! The waiters are horrible. Pros: Milanesas, nice back yard Cons: , bad menu translation, badly decorated more
