My husband and I visited Mambo's for the first time today after searching Yelp for quality local cuisine. We are both big fans of Dominican/Ecuadorian/Peruvian/Colombian/Puerto Rican food and have enjoyed it all over the world. I must say we were quite impressed! The atmosphere was pleasant, with one Latin hit after another making us dance in our seats. Everything looked to be very clean, which is very important to me. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. I can't remember her name... Everyone there seemed very nice! And above all, the food was hands down to die for!!!
I enjoyed the salmon with Moro (rice and beans)... The fish was cooked just right with delicious flavor and the Moro was yummy too! My husband had the "Mambo Platter" (pork, fried chicken, and Tostones) and I kept stealing bites from his plate! It's listed as the first appetizer on the menu, but was certainly more than enough for a full meal. We shared a cheese Empeñada and it hit the spot! The Tostones (salty fried plantains) and the Maduros (sweet fried plantains, which are my absolute favorites) were some of the best I've ever had (and I've enjoyed them in places like Quito and San Juan)!! Even the salsa for my green salad and the salsas that accompanied the dishes were excellent! To top it off, the Naranja (orange juice) was just perfect... Not too sweet or bitter. My husband enjoyed a couple of the Mojitos, which looked delicious to me!
I am currently expecting and I anticipate returning to this spot often to fulfill some of the crazy cravings I've been having, Lol! I HIGHLY recommend this little mom n' pop shop and will gladly be returning very soon!! Two thumbs WAY up!!! Que riquísimo!!
