We celebrated Cinco de Mayo here, but we really came for the Honduran and Salvadoran food more than…read moreMexican. We got way too much food and I'm still in a food coma. We ordered a pork and cheese Pupusa, Baleada #5, chorizo tacos, the Salvadoran steak, tres leches, and horchata. For $6 I thought the Baleada would be small, but it was huge. It could have been my whole meal. It was all fantastic. My favorite thing was the Pupusa followed very closely by the Baleada. The tacos were great, but they didn't stand out as much to me since I don't see baleadas and pupusas on as many menus around. The sweet treats were great. I loved both the tres leches and the horchata. I think the tres leches was the best I've had. They aren't doing curbside right now, so you'll need to order over the phone and go inside to pick it up. They also can't take payment over the phone, so you have to pay inside. These weren't the best for social distancing, but luckily no one was inside when we were there. There are a lot of comments in reviews about them not speaking English well, but that was not a problem for me. The Batch Maker recommended this for Honduran food and I'm so glad she did. We loved it and it's not something you see much around Charlotte!

We went on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and attentive service. Our meal was excellent as it has consistently been, especially since the changes have been made to the restaurant. I want to make sure that I mention the cleanliness of the women's bathroom. This is the second time in a row that I've used it and it is very well maintained. It's large, clean and odorless. It gives me an overall positive feeling about the restaurant, which adds to my comfort when we eat here. We love coming here. The prices are reasonable, the portion sizes are just right, and the servers are attentive and friendly. A great experience!!

After my last visit to this restaurant, I've reached the conclusion that Mabi Tropical has stopped…read moretrying and given up. When I initially visited (in their first couple of months after opening) I was super in love with this place. Unfortunately every experience after that has been super inconsistent. I've ordered their seafood sancocho three times and every single time I've gotten a different dish. The last time I ordered it - it was more so vegetables with 2 teaspoons of broth, some rice and old fried yucca. If you look at the photo - I believe you can tell the yucca looks like it'd been in the fridge for days and they just threw it in there for good measure. The waiter didn't smile and generally looked miserable to have to deal with me. I asked for hot sauce that never came. Just overall, really disappointed in my last experience here and unfortunately won't be retuning due to how inconsistent my last few visits have been. You might get something that tastes decent, you might not.

The salad and banana were good but nothing to ooo about. I got the Steak, Chicken, and Shrimp plate with beans and rice, salad and some fried plantain. The steak was deliciously cooked to a medium and had great flavor. I don't know what kind of seasoning they used on the shrimp, but it was amazing. As for the chicken, it was alright, it had good flavor, but not my favorite. The salad was good. The beans and rice were okay, and the banana was delicious. Not pictured is a Baleada Sencilla that I got with Avocado, that was amazing! The tortilla was fresh and tasted home made like if it was right from Honduras! We also got Horchata and Jamaica juice, both were excellent. This will honestly be my go to for Latin American food for the foreseeable future. They also let me know they have Karaoke on the weekends and had a bar available for drinks too. Great place, great food, great ambiance.

It's the perfect spot for date night or quiet night to eat by yourself. The service is nice and quick with the plates coming out quick after each other. We started with French 75 - they were a little tart / stronger than expected . The first plate to come out was the Duck Confit Taco- nothing really to grab my attention; the larger pieces of Duck on top were cold however it had chunks of Duck within the taco. Next few plates were the Sea Scallops and Firecracker shrimp - they were our favorite of the night ! 10/10 for both dishes ; seasoned really well and the flavor on the rice was so tasty as well as the scallops cooked perfectly. The crispy firecracker shrimp were a great size and plenty to share . The Crab Spring Roll and Crab Burrito - the burrito was our least favorite with no true flavor to it. The crab spring roll had a really great crispy wrap , the interior of it reminded me of crab Rangoon mix which was different. Overall decent experience with a few highlights of the night ! I would come and visit again to try the different seasonal items that come on the menu next!

These weren't bad, and they offered multiple juice options to mix it up. The food is fantastic. Between the flavor and presentation, you can tell they take pride in what they're serving. The server was very friendly and the place is nice and clean. We'll be back.
