Food is OK, with vegan and GF options available. Some food items, especially the sides can be hit or miss. Ive had the cole slaw and house salad and they were not on my favorites list. I'd say, personally since I enjoy a good breakfast, the options for brunch are best.

He always gets the same order the K1- Shrimp and Pork Egg Rolls to start and the P1- Pho Way Combo which has Oxtail, Raw Steak, flank, brisket, tendon, and tripe. The egg rolls are very small here, I don't think I have ever seen smaller. They are pretty much the size of Filipino lumpia. They are tasty but not worth the cost $5.95 for 4 little pieces. As far as the Pho he enjoys it. I don't particularly like to eat Pho so I always find something else to order. Here I always get a Vermicelli rice noodle bowl. On this day I got the B6- which has Grilled pork, Grilled shrimp, and Egg rolls. It was just ok for me. The pork was very thin and was dry, I prefer pork to be a thicker cut so it's a little fatty and juicy. I tried to doctor it up with some hoisin sauce but I still didn't like it so I just ate the few shrimp and egg rolls and then asked for a to go box. I figured I could make something of it at home. The service here is very fast and friendly and we were checked on frequently to see if we needed anything and our waters were refilled often.

(I've eaten at the Harrison location multiple times and have always enjoyed my experience there, but this Union location is noticeably larger while delivering the same great food and hospitality. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either location.) The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a colorful, lively atmosphere that immediately sets the tone. The centerpiece of the entryway is a rare 1920s classic blue automobile that commands attention and makes for a memorable first impression. The restaurant buzzes with energy, and despite how busy it can get, the service is friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. We started with several appetizers, and every one of them was a hit! The Canoas de Plátano featured sweet plantains stuffed with flavorful Creole ground beef and topped with perfectly caramelized cheese, creating an excellent balance of sweet and savory. The Tostones Montaditos were equally impressive. I tried both the skirt steak and smoked salmon versions, each served on crispy plantains with cilantro crema and fresh cilantro. Both were outstanding, but each offered its own unique flavor profile. The Queso Frito con Salsa de Guayaba was another standout, with the salty, crispy fried cheese pairing beautifully with the sweet guava sauce. For my entrée, I ordered the Ropa Vieja, a classic Cuban dish featuring tender shredded beef simmered in a rich Cuban Creole sauce. The beef was incredibly flavorful and comforting, exactly what you'd hope for from a traditional preparation. Alongside it, I enjoyed maduros, which were perfectly sweet and caramelized, as well as white rice and black beans that tied the entire meal together. From the vibrant atmosphere and impressive décor to the excellent food and top-notch service, Mambo's continues to prove why it's one of my favorite Cuban restaurants in New Jersey. If you're wondering if I'll be back? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
