Our family of four has varied palates with two of us vegetarians and one extremely picky eater so finding a restaurant that we all can enjoy is always a challenge. We chose this place as 3 of us could find something on the menu to eat and the picky eater agreed to compromise. In the end we all loved our... More

Seems like the rating option is average or very good had to go with average as a few tweaks would set you apart from the run of the mill same old same old eateries and put you up there with very good. We ordered fish fajitas which were very good the only thing that spoils it for me is that... More

Stopped here prior to going back to airport from stay in Maui. Server wasn't real engaging but she was quick with water and drinks. Had the Crispy Duck Burger (think pulled pork fried crispy on a flat top, only its duck), VERY good. Wife had Aloha Burger, she loved it. $30 for the two of us for lunch with sodas,... More

Went for lunch with friends, which took 40 minutes to order and have our food served. Two of my friends got sick and I only ate half of my food. I would describe my food as sloppy, at best. Another day, I ordered a bagel w/ cream cheese and a latte. Fair enough if they can't take 30 seconds to... More

Funky and inviting. The cafe is filled with colorful local art and friendly staff. I enjoyed the crispy duck salad, except for the limp lifeless greens, same for the pulled pork salad. The burgers were cooked to order and the fries crispy, but on the cool side. Service was prompt and friendly. I will give them another try, in years... More

Loved this little place. The duck fajita and pork salad were great. Staff was attentive. Good drinks, cold beer. Funky little place in a great beach town--just what it should be.

There is nothing really special about Mambo, but it has good food, very good service, reasonably prices and a fun place with abundant draft beer selections. What is not to like?
