I wanted to get a picture of the wonderful sangria but somehow my glass was always empty ;) Nice little patio out front which is wonderful when the wreathed is great. Food was diverse and good for kids as well as adults. The salsa is excellent.

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!

Very nice little restaurant in Glendale. I had the Mambo cari-bean salad with pulled pork and it was delicious. The restaurant is nice and clean and the employees were very friendly.

Authentic Cuban food in Burbank. Address says Glendale but it's on the edge so close to Burbank that I consider it Burbank. Food was great, as good as what I've had at Versailles, the most well known Cuban restaurant in Los Angeles. Service was friendly and accommodating. They have a parking lot out front that had plenty of spaces when we got there at noon on Sunday. Highly recommend.

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….

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!

Amazing Cuban food! I had the Tostones Rellenos (curtesy of DDD ;) ). They give you complimentary Cuban bread with an awesome dipping sauce while you wait for your meal.

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 🥰.

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.

🇨🇺 CUBA Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles: The parking lot and patio fill up for quick meals [during lunch]. The owner knows a lot of the customers by name and greetings for locals are in abundance. But walking in for the first time is also like walking into a friend's home, each customer is treated like a long-time regular.

I ordered one of their recommendations: mambo chicken and loved it! Chicken was tender, rice was lightly seasoned and fluffy, fried banana was yummy! Beer was served in a nice freezer chilled mug. The servers were nice and friendly. Good vibe! I would definitely go back when I get a chance to be in the area.

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!

I visited this location after the recommendation of some co-workers. I was pleasantly impressed, especially because I'm Cuban myself. Everything was like abuela used to make, but my favorite food was the tostones. So good!

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.

Came for lunch hoping to have a great experience and be wow’d by the food. I had the Cubano sandwich and the avocado salad. By all appearances the sandwich seemed yummy, however I found it lacking in flavor and very dry. The avocado salad as you can see is half an avocado on a bed of tomatoes and onions. Service was good and place was clean …just sad the food was lacking😞

Not as good as I remember. Definitely not Versailles worthy or Porto's. I enjoy Cuban cuisine and the roasted pork was dry and the Mambos chicken was dry. When you see pieces of meat that look like jerk along the edge you can realize this. The rice was salty. One plate if maduros was hard and sweet(caramelized) the other plate the maduros we're soft and not sweet. Sorry I love Cuban food and I use to go here a very long time ago but things change.

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

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.
