Mama Leti's Cafe

The service and the food is very delicious, it's as if I'm in an Ecuadorian restaurant back in my home town, Cuenca. Words cannot describe how good the food was, the bread to the Colada morada to the cleanliness it was all on point, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
It has blown me to pieces and the owners are magnificent at their jobs and I only got good vibes and energy here. Felt very welcomed and very pleased with this bakery, Amen.

I came with my boyfriend to have the lunch special.
The food was well prepared. Soups were flavorful but needed to be hot, they were warm, still they were tasty.
The ambiance was good, but music a bit too loud.
We order hot Morocho ( and server put plastic. Spoon inside) please do not give plastic spoon with hot drinks since is toxic! Plus is terrible for the environment. Make sure to order bread, it's very fresh and tasty!

I really like their food. Really good Ecuadorian food. However the service is bad. The women that work there are mean and rude to their customers. They are not friendly at all. I was there today 9/7/2020 because I like their PAN con Nata, they do not greeting you, they ask "what do you want" not cordially. I asked for 4 things and she kept rolling her eyes. The music is so loud it feels like walking into a cantina. Please if you are the owner, make some changes, you need better lighting, clean up and hire friendly staff. I am always looking for a good place to invite my colleagues so please make an effort to represent the Ecuadorian community better. About the music, you can always alternate or use Spotify. Thank you

I am falling in love with Corona restaurants and bakeries. One reason due to Mama Leti's. Although I just came here for dessert and coffee, i was very impressed with the pastries made here. Came out was a fresh cheese phyllo dough pastry which was to die for. Fresh or not this I am sure it would be just as good. Coffee is good as well. After reviewing the menu I would definitely come back for their lunch/dinner options.

Mama Leti's is a breath of fresh air on Junction Blvd. In an area that is up to it's neck in Spanish restaurants of all varieties, Mama Leti's offers up a little something extra. You can find lots of good food in the area, but just TRY to find yourself some ambiance. It's near impossible! Mama Leti's is an exception.

This is a retaurant/bakery. When you walk in, you're greeted with the sweet smelling aroma of their fresh baked goodies. Walk in further, and you'll find a small seating area. Recently remodeled, I think the best word to describe this place is darling. Too cute, very clean and a pleasant change from the places nearby.

I ordered the media noche and it was greasy deliciousness. Ham, mortadella, pernil, melted swiss and pickles on a soft, sweet roll. Really authentic, and very filling. I'm still dreaming about it, and I'll be ordering it again when I return. I also had a chicken empanada. The filling was great, but the shell was too hard. Skip it, you can find better empanadas nearby at any number of places. I also fell in love with their homemade hot sauce, mixed with cilantro and served in a tiny dish. If it had been bottled, I would've stolen it and brought it home!

My Mom had the oxtail soup, which came in a generous portion and she finished every last bite. She also had the churrasco, which we intended to share. I was too full to have more than a few bites. That one plate alone would have been MORE THAN ENOUGH for one person. The steak, of course, isn't exactly USDA prime meat. But, it's tasty and they work wonders with it. It's a poor man's steak, pounded thin and served with rice, eggs, fries and salad. At $12, it's a steal and also, the most popular thing on their menu.

Grabbed a tres leches to go, and it didn't disappoint. I had low expectations for Mama Let's, but it was far better than I thought. I'll be back again for another media noche.

Mama Leti's is one of the nicer looking Ecuadorian restaurants in the community.
It is small with just a few several tables.
Their menu is simple "little of everything".
I love their mote pillo with carne asada which is always well seasoned.
Their food overall is good, but not to die for.

Overall pretty positive EXCEPT the waitstaff.
The owners should really try to hire people who LIKE to help customers and not ignore them. They are getting paid to help us spend our money there.
I have received incorrect take-out orders despite me repeating it to them several times.
i felt horrible when I wanted to treat my mother for breakfast there and we were completely ignored for the first 15 minutes when we were sitting right in front of them, I had to get up to get my own menu.

Decent food and place would be truly wonderful if they had better service.
I believe dining out or even take-out should be a wonderful experience full of great flavors and a thank you and a smile.

I'm not always a big fan of typical bakery style Hispanic desserts and pastries. Across various bakeries in New York, most of the breads and pastries that they sell are dry and bland. I'm not sure if they are meant to be eaten dipped in coffee, because that would make sense why they are so dry.

Here they have the typical dry, bland pastries, but they also have a few awesome ones!

My absolute favorite thing here sort of like a cream filled donut. Its essentially a soft donut sandwich with a cream layer in the middle, sort of like a Boston cream, in fact there is one that has chocolate on the outside, but I LOVE the sugared one. It tastes like a soft churro filled with pudding! Yum!

I really enjoy the cheesecake here too.(The triangle pastries in the shelves, not the round cheesecake in the display case) It's denser and less sweet and creamy compared to American cheesecake. It's a great option for people who don't love super sweet desserts. I do love super sweet desserts and my favorite way to eat the cheesecake from here is to drizzle on some Coronado Cajeta (goats milk caramel).

The tres leches from here is delicious, but it seems like several people have had issues with ordering it for parties, so maybe stick to buying it directly.

The typical Guayaba (guava) pastries are just ok.

Just remember, if it looks dry, it probably is.

The cakes haven't looked appealing enough for me to get.

Go for those delicious pudding cream filled pastries and the cheesecake!

I wish I lived closer. We parked right in front of the 99cents store and saw this bakery right next to it and got some stuff. We got enormous toasted croissant, coffee and sometime of coffee with chocolate,it was quite good but I wish it had been hot as I would have enjoyed it more.
Def. gonna stop by here if I am in the neighborhood.

If you're looking to make a quick stop to pick up coffee this is a great place. Great tasting coffee and even better croissants. However service, at least for dining in, was disappointing. Had to ask the waitress for the simplest things like utensils, and got a dirty look. Asked for water more than once and was ignored. Otherwise, the food was okay. Ordered the Chaulaflan, wasn't bad but not something I would want to have again, a bit too greasy.

Money down the drain!!! Liers. Instead 3 leches would be 3 suns cake so dry.
. They took my money also ruin my celebration. Bought for 50 people size rectangle 3 milk cake w strawberry and got a sand-cardboard box crumbly square/pinneaple filling instead. NOTHING that I asked for barely for 30 people. So dry that you could bread a chicken with it. Im not sure if it was edible at all!!!
Called to complaint and they said that they dont know what happened and they will call me back wich never did. After more calls on Thursday they told me that humans make mistakes and they will give m a 20 % off in future orders and that would make m happy. I said why should I ordered again and he said that they DESERVE a second oportunity. I cannot do another party and how can I trust them when their picture of 3 leches cakes has running liquid and my cake was complety dry. They robbed me, they ruin my party and not apology at all.
They will give whatever they want and take away your money and ruin your celebration getting away with it if you buy for them.
