My first order was the empanada trio which came with 3 different flavors ( Aji De Gallina empanada, Beef Empanada, Chicken Empanada). I also got Milanesa Chicken + 2 Sides. Everything was fresh and made with love. Which made me order a second order of empanadas and churros this time. Ive never had churros with filling but it was an amazing experience . Ive been saying i need to step out of my comfort zone and although this wasn't a big step it was a start. I ate everything before i could capture a picture and my 1 year old loved it.

Everything was great and this os my new spot when I'm in Jacksonville. They have two locations and both were great. I didnt take any pictures because we ate it all up.

Pastelilo de guayaba barely had guava in it...it was just empty pastries basically. They were not enjoyable. Empanadas were ok, the taste was fine but honestly not that very impressive.

The empanadas are an absolute must-try. We went all in and ordered one of each variety, and while they were all solid, the beef empanada was the best IMO. Perfectly seasoned and satisfying. The classic Cuban sandwich also hit the mark a well-made version of a classic. Try it with the plantains, cooked just right! If you're looking for authentic Cuban food in Jacksonville that travels well and doesn't disappoint, Mambos is the move. Whether you dine in or order delivery, it's worth every bite.

I'm from Miami where good Latin food is basically on every corner fighting for your attention so my expectations were HIGH. I decided to gamble on DoorDash and stumbled across this Colombian spot. Dear Jesus what have I been missing? First, I ordered the tostones with chicharrón and let me tell you those pork pieces were crunching louder than my knees getting out of bed in the morning. Absolutely amazing. Then came the breakfast plate with rice and beans, scrambled eggs, and steak. That steak was so good I almost stood up in my hotel room and started singing romantic Spanish ballads to the container. At this point, I'm not even ashamed to admit I'm probably ordering from this same place again tomorrow and maybe the next day too while I'm here working. The delivery driver is about to know me by first name. 100% recommended. Whoever is cooking back there deserves a raise and possibly a vacation.

The guac with chicharrones and tostones was my favorite out of everything, crispy chicharron, crispy tostones and a very creamy guac that was to die for! They also gave us some house sauces that i loved. Ambiance was also making me feel like i was actually in Colombia!

My wife and I arrived just after 5pm on a Saturday night. The place was totally empty (which is…read moreseldom a good sign for me). Very unassuming store from. Inside was open and pleasant. The music was a loop of calypso with the most annoying, nightmare inducing AI video I've ever seen. But I digress... The Food... my wife had a Cuban sandwich special which came with a guava smoothie (?) she also ordered a side of Yuca Frita. The insides of the sandwich were good but totally overtaken by the bread which was dry and too crumbly. But the thing that sums up this visit was the Yuca Fries...$4 for (I kid you not) THREE yuca fries! Yes, I said 3 little yuca fries on a small plate for $4!!!! I had the Vaca Frita with Yuca con Mojo and grilled veggies. The meat was dry but the flavors of all were pretty good. Ended the meal with "Cuban" coffee which was NOT Cuban coffee but what tasted like unsweetened instant espresso. And a flaN which was the highlight of the meal. Good portion, fresh and delicious. I was told this place had been open for 2 years. Hard to believe. Maybe we came at a bad time but I wouldn't expect a place like this to last six months. Oh, the server was pleasant enough. I don't think she knew just how bad things are. I'd give this place 1 star if not for the fact the flavors were okay. Oh yes, almost forgot...the bill for this lackluster of an experience was $58 including tip!! (Did I mention we drank water? Drink prices were incredibly overpriced). And finally, a terrible case of heartburn accompanied me for the rest of the evening. My wife and I grew up in South Florida so we kinda know what this food should taste like. Lots of decent to good Cuban restaurants in northeast Florida. This is not one of them. Needless to say, we won't be back!
