    Michelada Modelo
    Jessi D.

    As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a smile. I have a fav waitress her name is Yadira she's always super nice, friendly and is always having a laugh with ya. The food is always great. Everything from their apps to just their regular meals. Didn't get any good pics today but . Today I tried their coconut shrimp and it was perfect! Of course you can't skip their micheladas and their #1 always hits the spot. Oh they have this green salsa that's delicious that only comes with their empanadas but I'm sure if you ask nicely they give you a bit to sample.

    The Más Especial Rice that should be renamed the Minus not Especial Rice.

    My family ordered close to $200 worth of seafood yesterday (05/11/25) to go from this Mambo's Restaurant for Mother's Day. When we got home we were extremely disappointed and upset to say the least. Not only did they ruined our Mother's Day dinner but they took us for fools, wasted our time, and money. Here's what we ordered: 1. The family pack #2, 2. The Grilled Octopus signature plate, and 3. Large Más Especial Rice. Here's what they got wrong: 1. Our family pack meal didn't come with the bread it was supposed to come with, 2. The grilled octopus was undercooked and the to go plastic container they put the food in had a little hole in it so the octopus sauce was leaking, 3. The Más Especial Rice shouldn't be called Más Especial Rice. It should be called the Minus Not Especial Rice because it had little to no shrimp, chicken, or pork. This was upsetting!! They took advantage that it was a busy day because any other day-- we would have gone back to get our money back!! So, they took us for fools and we paid extra for just veggie fried rice. 4. They also told us the food would be ready in about 30 minutes. We understood it was a busy day so we waited over an hour!! The least they could have done was make sure our order was made correctly and not missing anything. 5. When we got home, we also found out that our brother had taken his wife to this same Mambo's a few weeks earlier. They were the only couple waiting for a table of two. However, the hostess gave away their table to another couple who walked in a few minutes after them just because they knew them or maybe because they were the same nationality. We will never know the reason but it was wrong! We don't recommend Mambo's Restaurant for all the above reasons and hope this detailed review helps someone else. Mambos Restaurant you're unprofessional and don't care about customer experience. People work hard for their money so when y'all treat people's to go food orders like this it's called a scam!! Mambo's has lost our business!!

    Stuffed  jalapeños
    Jonathan C.

    Stuffed jalapeño. They were okay. Fish wasn't the best but it was okay. I door dashed it so not sure if that effected it.

    Great staff service, slow food delivery after ordering, somewhat hard rice, good fish and shrimp. Tasty, crunchy fries. Good rolls, and salmon balls, casual ambiance. Ordered 3 family meals for our party of 13. Good salsas. Had a good time here, most everyone enjoyed the meal. Lots of food.

    Shrimp and stuffed crab platter
    Jamie L.

    Pretty good food at a great price! The atmosphere is very lively and loud, with plenty of spacing. The interior is quite clean and our waitress was efficient and did a good job. I ordered the fried shrimp and stuffed crab platter. Food was fresh and good, but all components lacked a bit of flavor. Breading wasn't super flavorful and fried rice wasn't as well, but besides that I thought everything was great!

    Went it tonight (7/18/21) for dinner at this location everything went great till we received the food went to cut my roll open to find mold. The manager on duty told us it was the knife we cut it open with. This is a edit to my review since I cannot reply to Samantha we did not consume the food after this was seen so you're right the food should have been comped due to us not consuming it Daniela is very unprofessional she even told me she didn't care that I was going to leave a review. Where are you saying the mold came from than???? we are a long time mambos customer but will not be returning to mambos we will go down to the street to a competitor.

    Bacon wrapped shrimp.
    Danielle U.

    Warning: this is a family atmosphere...cafeteria feel...kind of place. I'd get it to go next time instead of paying $5 a beer. Calamari: Meh. Served with tartar sauce. Stuffed jalapeños: Meh. Served with tartar sauce. He had the mambo combo. Waaaay too much fried food. That was our bad...we didn't pay attention to the menu that it was all fried. The grilled vegetables included two red potatoes, 1 zucchini piece, 2 red bell pepper pieces, 1 carrot and 1 green bell pepper piece. Skimpy, but he liked them. The salad is lettuce with one slice of tomato and one slice of cucumber. The saving point was my bacon wrapped shrimp. I'm going back for that. Hands down. Fries were whatever. Salad I didn't really bother with. But 6 bacon wrapped shrimp for $15 was a great deal. He also got the shrimp fried rice. It's really Chinese style fried rice. For the extra $2, you can get it habanero style. We didn't taste that at all. So we feel like we got the short end of that.

    Eat with your fingers!

Once we walked in, we were promptly greeted and sat. our waiter got to the table right away and got our order of drinks, he was very courteous and aware. Our waiter brought out fresh chips for the table and warm salsa, and my gf was about to ask for some green salsa, and our waiter already knew she was going to ask for it; very tentative. Once we had made our order, our waiter was still very aware and checking on us without bothering us, and made sure our drinks were never empty; great job. Once the food was ready, I guess they were having trainee's learn how to bring the food out, however, the young girl who brought the food out for my tables, didnt know how to set the food tray down on the stand and hit the back of my chair, our waiter, knew she had done that and quietly asked her to step away, and I looked at the young girl and told her that she hit the back of my chair, and she never said sorry nor acknowledged an apology, and just disappeared into the kitchen. Our waiter however, he was great, made sure everything was good and we had all that we asked, wanted, and needed; again thank you for being a great waiter. Once we were done with out meal, our waiter had brought some to go boxes, to go bag, and a fresh bag of chips to go, with some fresh warm salsa as well; great great waiter.
