Ive been staying in Glendale for work. Im always hopeful for authentic foods. Mabos cafe did not disappoint! I ordered mambos chicken with a side of tostones. Everything was super flavorful. Would definitely come here again if I ever find my self back in this part of LA. Definitely worth a try!

I haven’t been here in a number of years and not for dinner. Today we brought a friend and we all loved the food. We started with the Tostones rellenos with shrimp – very good. I had the Mambos chicken and it was very good. Our friend had the steak. It was good but she had to take half home as it was a large steak. My wife had the Toston steak sandwich. Also very tasty. I especially liked the flavor of the black beans. We finished it off by sharing a flan. We shuffled out with full stomachs and a smile on our faces.

Came across this spot …. So glad we did. The food has the flavor, the dishes provided are big so get ready to share, and the coffee …. Brings me back to Cuba…. Worth the time and drive getting here from the OC. Definitely coming back with the friends….

Love the roasted pork plate! The garlic sauce (fresh garlic, white wine…?) is deadly good!! 🙂
I’ve been here a dozen times over the last few years. Everyone is super great. The nicest staff and the best Cuban food!

This place is a Glendale staple! Very tasty Cuban food, impeccable hospitality (thank you Ralph!) I hadn’t been here in many years; when I drove by it on my way to IKEA I busted a B without thinking twice and was so glad that I did! We ordered “el trio” appetizer, mambo chicken plate, and the avocado salad. The food was just as delicious as I remembered it! Our server Camila was also very warm and attentive. We’ll definitely be back very soon!

I was hot and tired of your trip to the zoo. And Mambo’s was nearby and it was time for a bite to eat and a cold drink. I’ve been wanting to try this place I had seen it on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. Today I got a mango iced tea and a tuna salad with grilled vegetables very good. I don’t know what the sauce was on the grilled veggies but I enjoyed it you. They are open for Dine-in and they also have outside seating.

Good Authentic food. Comes hot out of the kitchen. Plantains were a bit salty, and iced coffee was not exactly as we thought it’d be. With that being said, they were good, but not what we were expecting.
The Mojo sauce was definitely different from what we’ve had elsewhere. We’ll go back for sure, service was Excellent, food was Great.

The food is not good. I’ve been here two times and was very unimpressed. The second time I came I had a really bad sandwich and when I told the server about it he was rude. Service is also terrible. After they took my order and brought my food, I never saw the server again. Do not recommend.

Very delicious! Highly recommend…the tostón sandwich was fire and the empanada de picadillo was also really good. My bf is Cuban and he said this place gave him a home feeling .

Looks like a great place. Got there a solid half hour before close to do a takeout order, but kitchen is already shut down. I get it – everybody wants to go home at the end of the day but change the hours to be when you stop taking orders… Wasted a long drive over. Friendly staff up front
