We stopped in to eat at Cafe Mambo after a day of exploring and prior to catching our evening flight for home. Very casual atmosphere and nice food selection. My husband and I both chose items from their special of the day menu. I the pork plate and my husband a fish. Very nicely prepared and a good value. My... more

I split 3 tapas dishes with my wife and we loved every one. We had hummus, cheese fondue and nachos, and all were excellent. Also, the place had a great atmosphere - quirky art on the walls, nice music made for an excellent night. more

We visited our friends for a couple of weeks and they were right when they said you dont need to spend hundreds of dollars to eat a fantastic meal on Maui. They recommended us Cafe Mambo for their fajitas and I would add that their burgers are scrumptious too. The fajitas are huge and everything tasted so fresh. The burger... more

Get the duck fajitas! Comes with basket of tortillas, guacamole, black beans, salsa, sour creme & salad! One portion feeds two. I want to like the paella (since they r the only restaurant i know of that has it on a reg. menu) but it's kind of tasteless. Great cafe with window seats and they show movies on Sat nights. more

We ate at the Cafe Mambo in Paia while on a two week trip to Hawaii and without question it was the best tasting food we had anywhere. Our only problem was that we only had 3 days left when we found it and could only go back twice more! The duck fajitas were incredible and my husband had a... more

We had breakfast at Cafe Mambo. Great breakfast for two for under $20. I had the breakfast burrito - so filling that I didn't even eat lunch. The pancakes were very tasty too! more

We stopped in here for dinner after driving "The Road to Hana." The restaurant is decorated with colorful paintings and they play island music that's loud enough to hear but not loud enough to be annoying. Everything we ordered was fresh, well-prepared, nicely-seasoned and beautifully presented. My only criticism was that our server was not exactly on the ball, which... more

While staying in Haiku, we ate at a number of Paia restaurants, and Cafe Mambo was one we went back to a second time. Had great pork fajitas, with all kinds of goodies to put on top, and a great side salad. One order was enough for both my husband and I. Also I had a great drink made with... more
