    Make sure to go in with an idea of what you want to eat and drink. Once the waiter initially greets you it’ll be a while to until they are back. Busy restaurant but a bit more staff would solve this. Good cooks in the back and delicious food, portions have good value.

    The food was good but our waiter was beyond awful - completely rushed us through the entire dinner - our entrees were served halfway through our salads and NEVER checked back with us until we were done - and only then did he ask if we wanted another bottle of wine . And if you employ a waiter that has such a unintelligible accent please have the nightly specials written down - such a shame that what was supposed to be an relaxing enjoyable night out with friends was ruined by this waiter - never again

    Mambo has great food and offers a nice casual dining experience. We had to wait a few extra minutes for our table to be ready, and the owner sent us a complimentary appetizer as we sat down for our table. Enjoyed dining here!
