We tried the cuban food and it was okay. I didn't particularly like all the raw garlic junks on my vaca frita. It really took over the flavor and led me to not want to eat it. Service was friendly and quick. I may go again and give the Peruvian food a try. read more

where do i begin! everything from MARIA, to the Cuban cuisine and Peruvian culture... it is truly the place to be. I have never had a single complaint here which is sometimes hard ti find these days. mambos 4ever! read more

Mambo's Cafe - Buford - Peruvian Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Ordered a pan con lechon and a vaca frita. Pan con lechon was on days old bread, very dry meat, no mojo crillo or sauce - awful. Maduros were perfect. Vaca frita was very dry and had a spoiled taste from age. We returned the Vaca frita. Horrible. Phone lady was awesome. Got a replacement sauteed chicken and garlic dish that was ok. Breaded chicken cutlets sauteed with a garlic sauce. Black beans were perfect. Not the worst, but not worthy of a second visit. Second star only because of the professional response to off tasting food. read more

We order the whole fish special and love it. Mixed drinks are also fantastic. I would recommend

The service was absolutely awful, it took 20 minutes for the waitress to come to the table and then when the food came, she dropped it off, making no eye contact and left. Unfortunately my order was wrong, but our waitress never came back until it came time to drop off the bill and none of the staff would make eye contact or pay attention to grab their attention to ask for some assistance. The food was alright, if it was what I ordered, maybe I would have enjoyed it more. My partner enjoyed the ceviche and said it tasted fresh. The venue and ambiance was great, the food had potential, but the staff really ruined the whole experience. read more

So glad I found this place! Everything was amazing. The Cuban skirt steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Service was great food came out in a timely manner. Can't wait to go back and try some of the Peruvian meals. read more

I recently went to Mambos Café for lunch and had the shrimp tostones as an appetizer and the the seafood paella as an entree; both were shared with my mom and we agreed that were delicious. Since then I've ordered the tostones twice for lunch on Uber Eats, the first order was perfect second order I can tell the cook rushed but all in all the food was so good I couldn't stop thinking about so I ordered it on Uber lol read more

The food is always excellent here and the atmosphere is great. It's great to have somewhere local to experience multiple Latin American cuisines. read more

I was sooo excited to try this restaurant. And I wasn't disappointed! At arrival, we were told that our party of 5 would have about an hour wait. But they made some adjustments at a smaller table where we were able to sit right away. A bit snug but I was thankful for the accommodation consider we had 3 littles hungry. The inside was very clean, comfortable, and decor was nice. Customer service was on POINT! Our waitress was kind and informative. The skirt steak was good. But that arroz chaufa was sooooooo delicious. And the poco loco drink was perfect. I will be back! read more

The family loved it! We will be going back often. Nice selection of Cuban and Peruvian food. One couple even got up and were dancing to the Mambo beat. read more

The food wasn't that great, is expensive and they took more than an hour to bring our food.

First time here. Wasn't extremely busy. Waitress took our order and didn't check on us one time. Asked another waitress to print our ticket and never picked it up to process payment. Had to flag another waitress down again to get that done. Food is good but service is poor. Very poor. read more

I tried Mambo's for the first time.. I ordered the vaca frita. I cannot believe how terrible this food is. The smell was downright awful and when I attempted to taste a bite of the beef it had a very weird/old taste to it. Same with the rice. This was an $18 meal and I was only able to stomach the beans and the plantains. Sad to say this will be my last time trying this place. Also, I've never seen chicken look as bad as it looked in this chicken empanada. Never again!! read more

Just had their fried red snapper. It was delish! The service is on point too; very attentive. I love the background music is lively. You must check them out! read more

Food and drinks are great. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We've tried several different food items and all have been good.

Great sea food. Me and my wife will probably eat here more often.Parrillada de Mariscos was great. Churrasco was perfect.

First time coming here, food was great, well seasoned and good quantity. My family and I dined inside bc it was warm outside, yet it felt warm and a bit uncomfortable inside since the bar windows were opened. Drinks were good. Will more than likely come back. read more

Maria is the best bartender in the world!!! The experience and the drinks were amazing. Would totally come back. Love the vibe and the music. 10/10 experience!! read more

Very bad attention, we will not return. More or less food, it's not a big deal, there are better foods.

Great food, ambiance is beautiful, Service was great! I will definitely come back again.

The food is amazing here. The server helped with recommendations. Went with a group of 10 and all had a great experience. We will be back.

Their food isn't terrible, but their service is horrendous. We were sat next to the POS system where the servers enter orders. Plenty of serves walked past us. We were even side eyed by a couple. We sat there for 10mins never greeted. We eventually just got up and left. read more

I was awaiting this restaurant to open for a very long time! I was not disappointed at all and the food exceeded my expectations!! Everything came out quick, hot and delicious. Pablo was our server and he made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The ambiance was perfect. We will definitely be back... as this is the best and closest Cuban food for us. read more

We were seated quickly. Delicious food! 10/10 must try again. Ambience is pretty too. Service is good.

The best Bar and Modern Mexican food in Gwinnett !! We often went to the Suwanee but now with the MOG location we're addicted !!

I hate to leave a great review because I'd rather selfishly keep this gem of a restaurant to myself. Food is spot on. So far I been twice we had the Paella Valencia which is out of this world good, super fresh and savory seafood and ingredients. We been for lunch and had the Cuban sandwich and the grouper sandwich. The group is to die for, soft flakey fish cooked to perfection. The friendly service, cleanliness, ambience, decor, and really friendly service is absolutely stellar: it is far and beyond what is generally experienced with in the area. This will be my new favorite restaurant. Keep up the great work read more

The food is amazing and the staff as well. Love Peruvian food. The best in town and WOW on the ceviche

Awesome ambiance, quick and friendly service, the only downside is that my wife ordered a lomo saltado and i ordered a lechon asado and it was way too salty. Will try this place again in the near future. read more

When I go to a Cuban restaurant the first thing I always order is the Cuban sandwich and that decides if I will go back. The worst Cuban sandwich I have ever had! Enough said... read more

We gave this place a second chance after their grand opening...because we've been going to the Alpharetta location but we were disappointed again although the complimentary bread, empanadas, & cappuccino were good were ordered a seafood jalea mixta and it was to breaded and salty. The kids chicken finger were not good as my kid left them because he didn't like them which is not normal for them. Also they charged us extra because I added a extra salsa which would've been fine but they never mentioned the extra charge. Maybe we'll try again later in the future because we live close but as of now do not recommend for Cuban/Peruvian food. read more

Food is so good, great selection. Great atmosphere, nice bar and good drinks. Service was good as well.

Last night busy, bar 50% full, bar manager and 2 bartenders 10 minutes before we were greeted. Drinks were made and ordered an appetizer and the 30 minute lead time for the paella. Appetizer was delivered no silver and plates behind bar why? While waiting for that, music was setting up and doing sound check why during service. Now I am watching the 3 behind the bar watching them make my drink using a shot glass and 3 seats away 2 men get a free pour when I am getting no free pour. Or pour at all. Zero eye contact from anyone. Bar service zero. Sadly appetizer served @ same time as entree and the drop was " I'm so sorry the kitchen was behind" and yet all the food delivered at once. Still no silverware, linen or plates and just poor service. Asked for a manager and turned out to be person in charge had to go to hostess stand to ask for manager to please come to the bar. Oh same person that sold me the food, no resolve or any reaction. Eventually bar manager is back peddling to comp something instead of taking paella away so we complete or appetizer and then make fresh entree but no. The food here is good so just a full on disappointment that service is not. Maybe a place for lunch. read more

Ceviche the best in GA. I will be there later today with family and friends.
