“ We had reservations, but didn't really need them. It wasn't too busy. We were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in. Plenty of parking outside, and definitely plenty of room inside. A play save for the kids. Patio seating, and a bar. We had a mango margarita, very good. I couldn't taste any liquor, but it was delicious. Also ordered the calamari, plenty on the plate to share. Maria ordered the classic number 7, grilled octopus and mambo rice. She loved it, it has good flavor and not too spicy. I had the fried crawfish, which came two pieces of fried fish, and about 4-5 fried shrimp. The best part of the plate, for me, was the stuffed shrimp. Wish the plate had more than one. Ernest had the special rice, and it was a lot, rice with pork chicken and shrimp. Of course you can customize the rice with your choice of protein. Service was really good. Waiter kept checking on us, and even the manager spent time talking to us. Very polite staff. We spoke about the food and how I am staying away from too spicy food, and want some flavorful food. He brought us the Diabla sauce, and I need some help trying to figure out what is in the sauce. I smelled the sauce and I could smell the peppers, so I was worried was going to be too spicy, boy I was so wrong. You can taste the peppers, but not the heat. Don't get me wrong, it has heat, but no so much that you start sweating or you nose starts running, or maybe that's just me. And the prices are a hit. Definitely going back. ”

“ Right when I walked in I noticed it was pretty empty. I was greeted right away and was assisted. I was here for a Yelp Event. So I was treated to some good food, and a margarita. I ordered the fried calamari, fish tacos, and a frozen mango margarita. All of it was amazingly delish. "Abel" was my waiter and the next time I visit, I will be sure to ask for that guy. He was very professional, polite, and helpful. I also met the Manager "Lupe". He was also very courteous and knowledgeable about the ingredients of the drink, to which he told me that the margarita was not made with tequila...it was made with agave wine? That explained why it was so dangerously smooth. I would order this pool or beach side all day long. The calamari was superb. ”

“ Lets begin with the rice!! Wow so delicious and comforting! While visiting our old stomping grounds we stumbled upon this delicious restaurant called Mambos and we were so delighted! The food was great and so were the drinks! I had a cucumber frozen mixed drink with chamoy. I also had the fried fish and shrimp plate that was delicious. The service was great and on top of things. The looks to the was restaurant was clean and well organized with great decor. The assistant manager came up to us and asked if everything was good and we let him know it was excellent! I definitely recommend. ”

“ Came here for Culinaria Week because they had the best lunch specials of all the restaurants we checked out. This is a bit of a drive for us because we live in Selma, about 25 minutes and it was well worth the drive. The environment is very bright, open, and clean. I thought the restaurant was brand new and was surprised to hear they've been open for a year. We were greeted quickly by our server Nautical. She was really nice and did a fantastic job assisting us even though it was just her 4th day on the job. We order the empanadas and mambo style shrimp for our appetizers. The empanadas had a nice crust and filling was tasty. The mambo shrimp is you peel em but the GM stated you can also order them already peeled. The sauce that is served over the shrimp is DELICIOUS! Even more incredible when you pour it over rice. The GM stopped by our table to check on our experience, which is rare nowadays, as we were sampling our appetizers. Thankful for the added effort on his part. For our mains we ordered the Mambo #1 (fish and shrimp) of which my pic is missing 5 because I ate them before the pic. Batter was nice and light and zero grease. Cooked to perfection! My wife had the grilled Monterey chicken and it has a nice Smokey taste to it. Equally as impressive as my meal. We were stuffed partway through our mains so we asked for to go boxes and dessert to go as well. Both the tres leches cake and chocolate cake are very good. The value, quality of food, and attentiveness of staff were all outstanding. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! ”

“ From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. Every meal is made to order, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The margaritas are refreshing and the perfect start to the meal. I absolutely loved the crispy empanadas--so flavorful and the perfect size to kick off the feast. The new seasonal fideo soup was like a warm hug on a chilly day--comforting and packed with flavor. If you love a little heat, the La Diabla plate is a must-try, and don't even get me started on the Mas Mambo Rice--it's a game changer. Whether you're here for a casual bite or a full-on seafood feast, Mambo Seafood has you covered. Highly recommend ”

“ I was at the restaurant yesterday and i ordered a whole red snapper. I instead of a whole fish I was expecting I received a fish missing the lower half of fillet. When i ask if this is the way the fish is prepared, I was told it was. I was very disappointed as the menu description states a whole red snapper . I feel I order a whole fish and I didn't get a whole fish . DISREGARD WRONG RESTURANT .WAS RFERRING TO SW SIDE OF TOWN ”

“ This place has really good lunch specials for $10. They serve you a full plate of food. The service is amazing. Their drinks are pretty good for $6.99. It's a must try if you haven't already. It's the old Joe's Crab Shack location off 410/Callaghan. ”

“ First timer and I was pleasantly surprised. Came during lunch and the restaurant was very clean and super spacious. Bathrooms were clean and smelled great! Keep it up! The server was training and is not only being taught well but is super friendly and helpful. Very surprised to have seen the fish market area with all fish looking very fresh and on ice. They have a very large bar area too. Playground is a plus if you have kiddos! We had the #7 special and fish tacos. The taste of food is very fresh and has great spice! Can use some plating help but that was probably the only issue. Great seafood for the pricing. ”
