Overall a nice restaurant to dine and spend time with friends. Service was great. The food that I ordered was about average.

Caribbean Barbecued Salmon
The salmon was pretty good, but the barbecue sauce was a bit much. The sauce made the whole dish very salty.

not bad the first time...
after seeing mixed reviews on multiple review sites, i was a bit hesitant about mambo grill, but the reviews were more good than bad so we went ahead and tried it anyways. the food came out nicely and colorfully presented, but seemed somewhat hit-or-miss as far as flavors. prices are also on the higher side. redeeming factors were the casual, but cozy & festive ambiance and stellar friendly service.
parking is something of a pain in the area, but there’s a parking lot across the street ($16 flat rate) and valet is offered fri/sat nights.
-
Traditional Chips and Salsa
crispy tri-color chips with an offering of three dips: fresh guacamole, diced tomato salsa, and super spicy salsa. the guacamole was my favorite— very good.
-
Mambo Combo Paella
3.5 stars. i got the veggie paella, which tasted healthy w/all the colorful bell pepper squares, but was a dud for my tastebuds. i’m sure i could’ve enjoyed the paella more if i had gotten the seafood one. oh well.
-
Bacardi Coconut Colada
it wasn’t quite as sweet or slushy-like as what i’ve usually had, but i still enjoyed it.
