"We loved this place! Our cousin told us about it and we had to stop and try it. The cheese empanadas are incredible. I really enjoyed the freshly squeezed orange juice! The Dominican cake was super fresh and delicious! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful clean and very welcoming. Customer service was excellent. Definitely will come back to try their food because everything looked very fresh and flavorful."

"I've been a loyal fan of Maracas Restaurant since their original location, but after their recent move and remodel, I have to say I'm disappointed. While the new space is larger and looks nice, it lacks the warm, family atmosphere that made the original so special. As a Puerto Rican, I was hoping for that authentic vibe, but it feels more generic now.
Unfortunately, the service has taken a hit too. The staff seem disinterested, lacking the friendly smiles and enthusiasm that used to make dining here enjoyable. I've visited four times since they reopened, and each time the food quality has declined significantly. Dishes that used to be bursting with flavor now fall flat, and even simple items like the breakfast sandwich taste different and less satisfying.
I keep returning because some family members still enjoy it, but I can't recommend Maracas if you're looking for authentic, rich Dominican food. It’s a real letdown compared to what it used to be."

"I had the seafood mofongo very delicious I got so full I couldn’t finish it! My husband got the fried snapper fish he said it was very delicious he also ordered guava juice he said it was a bit too sweet! Our sever was sweet but we did wait a while for her to bring us our check."
