    three buckets filled with bottles of beer
    Erika L.

    I think this spot is a restaurant during the day and turns into a club at night. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. They had a band playing but the music was very specific, more regional than anything. The songs were very similar and just felt very repetitive. Music was a huge miss for me. In order to sit at a table you have to order either a bottle or a minimum of 3 buckets. We wanted to use two tables to ended up ordering 6 buckets of beer. Each container comes with 6 beers. Can't remember the price tho, think they were about $40 each but not certain. Overall it gives sketchy vibes. Also, super male dominated spot. Soooo many guys compared to the few girls in there. Probably won't be back.

    Chipotle chicken sandwich

    All around solid fresh food and drinks. Very friendly staff. Prices are below average. Patio seating is a plus. Love this place. Casual atmosphere is a bonus.

    Philly Cheesesteak with fries
    Gabriela F.

    At first I was a bit hesitant to walk in because it seemed empty. However, it was amazing! They played regional Mexican music. We asked the server if they can play the Dodgers game and they did! The menu is mostly Mexican food, but I still ordered a Philly Cheesesteak and it did not disappoint! 10/10.

    Burrito mambo style
    Christopher V.

    Stopped here for a quick bite and the food was delicious. As soon as I tried the chips and salsa I knew everything else would be great as well. The burrito was simple but with amazing flavor. They also have good Mexican music, so be ready to have a good time.

    Michelada and shrimp cocktail just hits differently.

    Best restaurant on the block...had our wedding breakfast here in 2020 and weve been coming here very often.. love their food homemade Mexican!

    Fajita Mix Dinner

    Food was good, service great and ambiance as well. Went for my little nephews birthday and they brought out a little cake for him in the end. No free refills but other than that had a good time with my family.

    I ordered this chipotle chicken plate and it was soooo delicious !! I loveeee the flavor. The rice and beans were super yummy too. I got Jamaica and it was great. The place was clean, and the service was great! I highly recommend this place if you want some good Mexican food!

    POZOLE FILLED WITH AS MUCH MEAT AS HOMINY...I ate alot of the meat, but it has alot of everything
    Marylou C.

    Poole, was amazing. I am always easy when I pick up food ti go, because restaurants seem to overlook the presentation. BUT THIS PLACE MAMBO first time here at Mambo grill. GRILL did exceed my expectations, first the care they packaged my food with. Everything as neat, and nothing was missing. The meat in the pozole tasted fresh and was tender, something you usually don't get at other places. And the taste was amazing. I love pozole so im often disappointed. But mambo grill will be my to go place if I want home tasting pozole.

A friend of mine is a Cerritos local, and this was our second visit. First and foremost, the staff was amazing. The gentleman working the front door was incredibly polite and welcomed us with a smile, even wishing us a great time as we walked in. The two bartenders were outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn't catch both of their names, but their level of customer service was exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the night. For food, we ordered the lumpia and the pepperoni flatbread pizza. Both were absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend trying them. We also enjoyed a couple of ice-cold beers. I ordered a glass of water as well, and my water was refilled almost immediately every time it was empty--a small detail that really stood out. The DJ kept the atmosphere fun and lively, and we were able to catch the MMA fights on their multiple flat-screen TVs, which made the experience even better. My buddy Jason says this is the best dive bar in Cerritos. After this visit, I'd have to agree. In fact, the customer service we received here was better than what I've experienced at many upscale, "bougie" establishments. Outstanding food, excellent drinks, incredible service, and a great atmosphere. Job well done, Shipmates! I'll definitely be back.

The location is a little hidden and was somewhat difficult to find at first, but once inside, everything was well organized and easy to navigate. The staff did an excellent job throughout the event--friendly, attentive, and impressively fast despite the crowd. I also appreciated that they limited the number of guests, which kept the atmosphere lively without feeling overcrowded. It was nice that this wasn't strictly an adults-only environment, as we were able to bring our child along and still enjoy the experience. The food was good, the service was great, and the overall setup made for an enjoyable afternoon of soccer. We'll definitely be back during football season to catch a few games.

Jorge came outside multiple times, clearly saw how many people were waiting, and even recorded the crowd on his phone three different times for social media. Knowing the capacity of the restaurant, he could have easily informed everyone that the remaining people in line would likely not get in. Instead, we waited over three hours with no communication. While we were waiting, I repeatedly watched people call Jorge. He would come outside, greet them, and bring them straight inside. I personally saw this happen at least six different times. When it was finally our turn to speak with the host, we were told there were no seats left, that we would have to stand, and that we wouldn't even be able to order food. I confronted Jorge about letting those other groups in ahead of everyone else. His response was that he knew them personally and that they were friends of the restaurant owners. That explanation only made the situation worse. My wife had just finished a 14-hour hospital shift, and we came here hoping to enjoy the game together. Instead, we spent three hours waiting only to be treated as though our time didn't matter. What was most shocking was Jorge's attitude. He literally told me, "They won't do anything to me if you post this. I'm friends with the owner." If that's the mindset of management, it's no surprise customers are treated this way. It truly felt like only friends and family received special treatment while everyone else was left waiting without honesty or respect. I have no issue waiting when things are busy, but I do expect transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience showed none of those qualities.
