    Upon opening the take out container, the food wasn't pleasing to the eye, it was warm and thrown together. The fish was very small in size, not big enough to place on a slice of bread. I ordered a side of grill veggies and received only a palm full and they put it in the same container as the Elotes corn😡😡.

    We had a very large table so service took a while which it to be expected especially on a Sunday. But all our food orders were correct. I ordered Mambo fried rice to go home, I love the fried rice that has everything and all the meats, I put it in the frig when we got home and went to grab it for my lunch the next day, I figured I could eat off that for atleast 3 days. I put it in my lunch bag and put it on the table went about getting my stuff to leave and I kept thinking what is that smell. I'm looking around trying to figure out what the smell was??? Well when I picked up my lunch, that was it!!! My rice that I bought for my lunch had gone bad over night? It smelled spoiled, I was so disappointed, I threw it straight into the trash! I've never taken leftovers home from mambos before and it went bad the very next day. And I didn't even eat off the rice I bought it to take home, disappointing... spoiled rice the next day 😞

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Mambo Seafood was truly disappointing. From the moment we sat down, the service was terrible. We barely saw our server the entire time — we had to flag down other staff members just to get basic things like drinks and silverware. When our food finally came, several items were either missing or completely wrong. No one checked on us, and we had to keep asking different people to fix mistakes that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. It felt like we were being ignored the whole time. The food itself might have been fine under better circumstances, but the lack of attention and poor service ruined the experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this location based on how unorganized and inattentive the staff was during our visit.
