If sushi is semi-regular for you PLEASE do yourself a favor and come to Mambo Sushi because this is NOT your usual sushi.
We came here with sushi withdrawals after 2 weeks of tapas and other standard Spainish fare. A couple sushi restaurants are around the area but we chose this one because it was the only one with unique and interesting menu options.
We got the MARACAIBO because it was the only option with unagi (eel), BLACK MAMBO because it was made with black rice, and CLASSIC CALIFORNIA just in case.
If we could do it over we would have tried another roll instead of the Cali. The other two were INCREDIBLE but the Cali was a bit standard (what we expected) and a bit odd with their choice to dizzle with mayonnaise.
The MARACAIBO was the best unagi roll I've had, period. Besides the very generous portion, it has a delicious smoky flavor that I've never had before. Smoked unagi instead of straight baked is a game changer!
The BLACK MAMBO had a passion fruit sauce that took it to the next level. One of the best things about sushi is the lightness and this was the really the first time I felt a sushi roll was refreshing.
Being from Los Angeles we have an incredible selection of sushi restaurants and this more than stands up to the high brow, fancy places we're used to experiencing. If you love sushi and in Barcelona this should be THE sushi restaurant on your list to hit up. read more
