Mambo's Cafe is one of my favorite spots for authentic Peruvian food. The ceviche was incredibly…read morefresh with bright, vibrant flavors, and the roasted pork was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite tasted fresh and made with care. They also have some of the best Peruvian drinks in the area, making the meal even better. The service was warm and welcoming, the portions were generous, and the overall experience was excellent. If you're looking for authentic Peruvian flavors, Mambo's Cafe is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back!

Why in the world is Mambo's Café so far away? I need this restaurant to be right across the street…read morefrom my house so I could go every day. Let's talk about it. LOL Mambo's Cafe is located in Buford, Ga which is Northeast of Atlanta. When we entered the restaurant after our 5k, we were seated immediately and I will say Im glad we showed up when we did, because when we left people were everywhere waiting to be seated. So, Our waitress was amazing, she didnt miss a beat all the questions we had, she answered! We started off a complementary garlic bread with a Verde sauce. It was green with a pinch of spicy, but it was very good. Next, we ordered the beef empanadas and they cut them up for us so that everybody could sample them. They were so good. I had to get an order to go to take them home to my husband. For my drink, I ordered a pink lemonade. It was almost like I needed some sugar and I knew that would hit the eight spot even though it was carbonated it still was good. For the main train I went with ANGUS CHURRASCO STEAK!! Medium well of course! Wowwwwww!! This steak was top-tier. I enjoyed every bit of it, and what I could eat. Of course, I had to take the rest of them. It came with an option of beans I went with black beans plantains in a Spanish rice, which was amazing. The chimichurri sauce that came on the steak was was flavorful yeah, I even asked for some to take home and verde sauce as well. Lol The steak was tender outside skirt steak grilled and topped with our famous chimichurri sauce (garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil). $28 My entire bill with $58 including the takeout empanadas I will most definitely be going back. I enjoyed every minute of this restaurant.

This is a Peruvian restaurant that I "discovered" going to the movies in the plaza close to it. The…read morelocation is perfect with an easy and big parking lot. The restaurant is spacious and the tables are not cramped so you can sit comfortably. The atmosphere is relaxed, casual and a with music in the background. Service is polite and very attentive, they come to your table often to know if you need something. And now the food... yes, it really taste like Peruvian food with the right ingredients. I liked their Lomo Saltado (even thought I think they can improve the quality of the meat), their Causa Acevichada is fantastic and the Anticuchos have a very good flavor. Adding to the regular Peruvian menu they have some dishes from what we call "Chifa" in Perú (Chinese restaurants), I think it's worth to try it. I've been like 8 times in this restaurant and I still didn't have the chance to try the Pollo a la Brasa (Roasted Chicken) because they are always out of it... in one side I'm disappointed and in the other I know their chickens are made fresh daily BUT they have to recalculate how many they need to prepare a day so they have enough until 8 PM. In general, a good Peruvian restaurant with a limited amount of traditional dishes . I'll be coming back when I am in the area. ** Supposedly they cook some traditional dishes for the lunch specials.

My husband got a beef dish with rice and a fried egg on top with French fries. He thoroughly enjoyed the dish. For dessert we got rice pudding. It was really good. We also tried the traditional Peruvian drink that is made with purple corn and cinnamon. It was delicious. If you are adventurous I highly recommend it. The service was quite attentive and our server was very friendly and helpful. There are about 15 tables to seat many and they aren't crammed together. If you like to try new cuisines like we do, this needs to be on your list.

We decided to give it a try. 5 tapas items. That is it. One of which is fried potatoes. What a disappointment. I expected a much larger selection. We ordered Picanha (grilled steak) see photo. I opted for the calamari tacos, which were excellent. The place was basically empty, and it took me a long time to get my servers attention for a refill on my soda. They brought us more chips, but I had to ask for salsa although the bowl on the table was empty. Overall, I was disappointed in the tapas selection being so limited when it is being so heavily advertised. As stated the food was good, although $8 for a bowl of queso is a bit much imo.

Majority of the staff just speak Spanish but can help you in English if you are not a Spanish speaker. We ordered the Arepa with the Carne Asade and it was very good. The arepa was huge and suuuuoer cheesy. The steak was a little chewy but edible. We also ordered empanadas and rice and beans and it was all enjoyed. The only thing I would say was it was hard to get refills and when refills were given it was just for the person asking. I think they were trying to push alcohol and their mixed drinks more, but we don't drink and I had kid with me so, water was all we were having. Over all we will be back. This place has Columbian music playing, a couple of TV's with only ads running, but over all not too loud.

I'm always searching for hidden gem restaurants in the area and while this one is mainly a take out…read moreplace, I think it qualifies! Too much arepa has the best arepas in the area in my opinion! My benchmark is Celida's Cafe in Lilburn which serves amazing nutriarepas, IYKYK. This one is close by, affordable, has excellent arepas, and exceptional service. The owner was so kind and included a free tequeno in my order. His daughter came out behind the counter to say hi, she was adorable. It's a goal of mine to support family owned local businesses and this one is one I want to support, they seem to be working hard to provide a great product and service to match. Now to the arepas: the owner said it would take 10 minutes so we knew they were being made fresh. By the time we got home they were still piping hot. The Reina Pepiada was good, flavorful, and the arepa had a nice crunch on the outside. But the Pabellon arepa was the standout. The plantains were caramelized nicely and had a crispy exterior. The amount of cheese was generous and gave that extra savory flavor. The beans and meat were seasoned nicely. I will definitely return for this one! They're open until 10pm which is great for late night meals and way better for you than fast food joints. Keep in mind this is inside the Circle K gas station so there is no signage for the restaurant, you have to walk into the gas station and the order kiosk is on the left side next to the register. They also have daily and weekly specials! Please give this place a shot!

We sat ourselves but got attended right away. It's a small place with not a lot of space but has a good vibe and the music is what you would expect for a Latin restaurant. I only say that because some people said it was too loud. They have a banquet hall which we did NOT do but the music was fine and good. The food was DELICIOUS. Is it the best Colombiano food I've ever had? No, but it was very good. The empanadas and the papá rellena was delicious. I had the Bistec Encebollado and it was delicious. Their picante is so good. The food was delicious and priced well. Everyone saying it's too expensive is crazy. McDonald's costs more than this place and the food is no where near as much or good. Would definitely eat here again.
