Our server was great, the food was delicious, but the restaurant is very loud and the entire staff and kitchen were clearly extremely overwhelmed for the Easter holiday. It took about twice as long as normal to get our food and it was clear all the servers were extremely stressed by how crowded it was.

We’ve been to this restaurant many times and have never returned disappointed. Always had fond memories of the delicious food. Except last weekend. Not sure if their kitchen staff has changed. Menu certainly has. Some items are way overpriced & our bill had added gratuity of 20%( for 2 people) !! Our server was polite, but a bit clueless about the kitchen issues. Manager did come & check on our food. Potatoes finally arrived after 30-35 minutes of ordering. (They should not have charged us for those). The whole experience was rather underwhelming:(

Great experience, nice ambience with very confiable seating. We had a new addition to the menu, the Belizean chicken dish, and it was very tasty. Our server Kat was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately they no longer had the dessert I wanted to try, the flaming sticky toffee, but all in all a great dining experience. They add a 20% gratuity to all parties, we were a part of 2.

Amazing food! Amazing service and overall excellent experience. Food was really good, far beyond expectations! Can’t wait to revisit Mariposa again. The french toast, scrambled eggs, lamb burgers all outstanding!! I feel i’m not expressing my satisfaction enough because honestly I don’t know how best to describe 100/10 experience.

Went here for brunch with some girlfriends! Not only was the service great, the food was good and the vibes were 10 out of 10. The manager even stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. Definitely an underrated spot for brunch.
