Mambos Latin kitchen is a small and cozy restaurant. The food is delicious and worth the price. I never had a mofongo filled with meat the way they served it. (Good thing). The sauce of the mofongo was garlicky, thick, flavorful, and just delicious. The service from the blonde girl was on point and the dishes came in a timely manner.

I’ve been to this restaurant several times over the past few months, and it’s quickly become a favorite whenever I’m in the area. Every dish bursts with flavor, but the Lomo Steak Montaditos is a personal favorite. If you’re anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place never misses.

★★★★★ 5.0 Edily Rodriguez · Mar 2026

Came here with my family right before the kitchen closed and they took us in. It was an amazing experience. The food, atmosphere, and the attention. Everyone was friendly. The food was great and worth the price! Love it, would definitely be coming back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Christina Lynn · Mar 2026

I absolutely love Mambo Empanadas! The atmosphere is always clean, cozy, and fun, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I usually see Linda and EJ when I go, and they are amazing — they always take great care of me and make the experience even better. The food is delicious across the board, but my favorite is the pastelón empanada. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you definitely should!

Ordered Sweet Plantains / Maduros with  Arroz Chaufa - Peruvian Style Fried Rice. This hit the spot 😋 👌 🙌 such a different flavor and taste to it. Wish I Ordered a large side but this portion was a medium size since they have the option of small, medium and large. Pick up time was quick and easy, great customer service at the front 👍 highly recommend this spot please! You will continue to go back like myself.
