🇸🇻 Real Salvadoran food! We had pupusas, sopa de mondongo and tamale de elote frito 😋Delicious food, good environment, friendly staff. Will come back when I'm in the area.
So Yummy!. My friend and i decided to dine out and he had mentioned wanting some americana.... i recalled a small place i used to frequent and so we headed to the location.... it was no longer. However, in it's place was Mama Greta's... and we are both adventurous with our foods. So in we went!
I love ethnic restaurants where it feels like i must have been mistaken coming in because i look like none of the other diners :) Good sign! We were seated and brought chips and salsa- the salsa was delicious! So fresh and yummy!
The menu was a little intimidating, but that's kind of exciting.... i like to see unrecognizable choices that require you to look for the English description...
We decided to try the cebiche appetizer,for me- papusas (1 chicken and 1 pork) and for him - the chayote rellenos. The food, in total, was fabulous :) Also, the portions were very generous, so leftovers today!
We'll definitely be back!
LOVE THE PUPUSAS. Ok, so I'm not from El Salvador, nor do I have many Salvadorean friends but I love to try many, many different types of foods so I've tried a lot of pupuserias in the area. I do have to say that these pupusas are by far the best pupusas I've had in the area. They were sooo good. I tried las revueltas, pupusa de queso and pupusas de pollo. All were soo yummy. I will go back and try other things from the menu but they certainly did not disappoint with what I tried.

Loved Mama Greta's. I am a Salvador native, and I was skeptical when I heard of La Cocina de Mama Greta, why? Well simply because I have sampled many Salvadorean restaurants in North Carolina and I have never been trully content with the way the make our food, and I always walked out sad!! I guess I was looking for a place where the food actually reminded me of my Grandmother's cooking back at home.
When I go in a Salvadorean restaurant, I always ask for the main things, which I know are very hard to get right, according to my taste of course, so I went in to La Cocina de Mama Greta's the first day I heard of it, and ordered pupusas, sopa de pollo,(chicken soup), and quesadilla (sweet bread with a cheesy taste to it) and I thought to myself, if this three items do not taste good, I know not to return!!! Well I loved it!!!! and Im soooo happy to have found a restaurant that I can go back to and eat anything and know that it will taste good... I am looking forward to go back and eat there again!!! Im happy I found this place, being that it is well hidden, for I had drove past Red Lobster off of wake forest road and had never known that place was there!!
Mama Greta's is defenately a restaurant I can take all my non-Salvadorean friends to so they can sample our food, because I will know that everything there tastes just right to be settled in the United States, I truly believe it is the closest I will get to home from here... If you are wondering how salvadorean food tastes like Mama Greta's is defenately with out a doubt the place to go!!! When you do go, I hope you like it as much as I did :)
The food is delicious and as authentic. The prices in some of the things are bit more than they should be for what you get but in others is ok.
Delicious pupusas which is a corn tortilla that is a little thicker and with pork, bean or Cheese filling they are amazing. The Riguas are sweet yellow corn and they come with small piece of cheese and sour cream but is a bit pricey not sure we will get it again. The baleada’s are delicious and in the picture you can see the filling they are price is just right. The mama Greta carne asada was good but a bit pricey and the quality of the steak is not that great. Flavors were good overall.
Great food and a good variety of choices for central American and Mexican dishes. Flavored drinks need more real fruit or less sugar. Overall good service. Not in the best location but once inside, it gets better.
The food was excellent. I liked that they play Christian music.
Fresh, clean, home-cooked Salvadoran food..
Friendly service.
Excellent, highly recommended.
Bizarre that an establishment catering to Central Americans would have Fox news playing on the TV.
Love this place. Super good little family owned joint with excellent Salvadorian food. Never had a bad meal here.
Excellent and authentic Salvadorean cuisine. Pupusas are some of the best I've tasted so far! Chicken soup 🍲 was very full of vegetables and chicken

One of my favorite tastes in town, very flavorful but not overpowering to a point that you can’t taste the main ingredient or food. Taste fresh and very comforting! A taste of home for salvadorians and even for Caribbeans! It supports any most diets because of the way food is prepared. I was on a whole30 diet and I had great tasty choices👌🏽. The atmosphere and service is respectful and friendly. I’m addicted to this place and my kids love it too😌 I recommend this for any family.
Hands down most authentic Latin American food in the triangle. Great prices and big portions! I love me some mama grets and frequently stop in for a steak baleada. While you’re in go ahead and treat yo self to an horchata… you won’t be disappointed!
This place has awesome food!!! Me and my wife loved the chicken stew and the super Nacho's will definitely come back.
The owner was there and he is super awesome and nice as well ☺️
It was a very good restaurant overall the service, food and ambience was just what we needed for a relaxing ambient.
