Guy Fieri will be talking about this place on Triple D and they will get a lot of new business. Good for them however. Never been there so can't comment otherwise. Figure must be worth 5 stars to get on the show. more

I haven't been to Mambo's in years, but I used to go often and I still remember that the food was pretty good. more

Freshly cooked Cuban Home Style Cooking. It is always fresh and hot, if you are familiar with Cuban food, you will not be disappointed. It's as if your Mom cooked it; ) She probably did. This Mom and Pop shop also has great tropical fruit shakes. Of all the Cuban Restaurants in the Valley, this is number 1! Try it,... more

If you haven’t already been, this place is a “must go”. The food is excellent as is the service and it won’t break your wallet. Most of the staff is Cuban and are very willing to talk about their heritage. I go there very, very (did I mention very) often and the food is always good. You can order anything... more

Looks like and old gas station, but it's kinda fun. Food is a bit dry and they do love their pickles. more

Great place for lunch. Friendly atmosphere, good food, usually fast service. Pan con lechon or the roast pork plate with rice, black beans and maduros... scrumptious! more

Have been to Mambo's several times. The food is good, though the beans are usually cold before you get half-way through them...remarkable because black beans are my favorite and I like to finish them first! Drinks vary in strength. A bit of an odd location as it is next door to a mechanic shop, but don't let that deter you.... more
