Mambos is a mixture of coming home as a kid to the best home cooked Cuban food and the best live music. The vibe is always nurturing and comforting. Every time I eat here I almost want to nap because it feels like home. What keeps me from sleeping is the contagious music and full filing vibes. I enjoy playing percussion and dining. The best of both worlds. All the staff is like family. So close to home.
The food was great and the staff was nice - we had plantains that were caramalzed beautifully, the Cuban sandwich was good -overall the food was solid

Mambos rocks! I've been going there for more than 10 years. Everyone there is very friendly. Cuban food is my absolute favorite, and I am a transplant from Florida where there is a great Cuban food to be found everywhere! I consider myself to be quite picky, and Mambos reminds me of the food you might find in your Cuban grandma's kitchen. Very tasty - absolutely excellent!
Not only does Mambos have the best Cuban Food in town, (the ropa vieja is to die for), but it also has the friendliest staff. It always feels like your hanging with Latin family. And the live musical ensembles they book are fantastic.
We went at 4:30 on Friday afternoon. Only a hand full of people there. We each had salmon. His was with peppers on top mine was with garlic. Served with asparagus, rice and plantains. Very tasty!!!
I'd like to go when the music is rockin the house! Someday we will�
Best place, EVER. Fantastic food, great music, staff is excellent. You can't ask for anything better.
I have never had Cuban food. I loved it!! Where have you been all my life? Wish I could take you with me back to Spokane WA. But I'll be back one more time before I got home. And you will be come a traditional stop every year I come down!!!
Just tried your place. Very good food. Great service. Will have to come back and try something else.
Cozy, Jazzy, DELICIOUS! Very friendly& welcoming atmosphere..highly recommend
My excellent mechanic at I Tech, as well as the wonderful gentlemen at the smog test are on the same corner as Mambo's, so I get to stop in for a quick meal from time to time. The service is always exceptionally friendly! I don't know any of the people who work there, but they give the impression of being a family-owned business and that the family takes great pride in doing a wonderful job! The food is always mouth-wateringly delicious! And as a personal aside, it always makes me think of Yasiel Puig whenever I go in there.
Love this place come here often with my mom the midnight sandwich is the shizz
I haven't been here in a number of years and not for dinner. Today we brought a friend and we all loved the food. We started with the Tostones rellenos with shrimp - very good. I had the Mambos chicken and it was very good. Our friend had the steak. It was good but she had to take half home as it was a large steak. My wife had the Toston steak sandwich. Also very tasty. I especially liked the flavor of the black beans. We finished it off by sharing a flan. We shuffled out with full stomachs and a smile on our faces.

Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:
The parking lot and patio fill up for quick meals [during lunch]. The owner knows a lot of the customers by name and greetings for locals are in abundance. But walking in for the first time is also like walking into a friend's home, each customer is treated like a long-time regular.
I was hot and tired of your trip to the zoo. And Mambo's was nearby and it was time for a bite to eat and a cold drink. I've been wanting to try this place I had seen it on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. Today I got a mango iced tea and a tuna salad with grilled vegetables very good. I don't know what the sauce was on the grilled veggies but I enjoyed it you. They are open for Dine-in and they also have outside seating.
This restaurant has very good food and drinks. They taste so fresh and the first time I went here I was blown away! They do custom orders very well, and the staff is very kind. If I could rate is restaurant better, I would.

Good food at a reasonable price. Plus, takeout orders, outside patio dining and inside dining
The food was awesome and delisious. The service left me wanting. The server must have been having a bad day because he was not very friendly or attentive. So, I will give him the benefit of a doubt. The place is really nice and I would go back for more of that great food.
