I had high expectations after hearing such good things, but wasn't overly impressed…read more The pasta was okay and I wasn't the biggest fan of the meat. I did enjoy the pisco sour that I drank. The service was quick and the server was kind. There was only 2 other tables seated at the same time as us, so that definitely helped. I would be open to trying again because of their kindness, but it was an expensive meal that didn't leave me very satisfied.

Excellent Food truck cuisine…read more I just finished my 2nd El Mambo lunch. First was at Tailspin Ale Fest earlier this year. This time they came by my office park. I have had the chicken and the steak sandwiches as well as empanada and plantains. Great taste. everything was freshly made for me and quickly. and so much food! I didn't eat it all when I got it both times, but it made great leftovers too. I highly recommend giving them a try when you see them around.

A new great food truck to add to my favorites list!…read more I spied Mambo Cocina Cubana at Kentucky Shakespeare in Central Park. I thought I had seen all of Louisville's trucks, though new ones join the fleet all of the time. One of the fellas in the truck told me they have been around for about four months. I was excited to see something new! I also love the movie, "Chef." (Have you not seen it? Go do it now! I think it's still on Netflix.) And since watching this foodporn of a movie, I've been craving a Cubano sandwich by way of a food truck window and preferably by way of Jon Favreau. Mambo satisfies one of those. I ordered the Cubano, which comes with roasted pork, sweet ham, pickles and mustard. And I went ahead and got the "meal" option, which includes plantains and congris (black beans and rice). Altogether, this cost $12. The wait wasn't too bad at less than five minutes. I imagined the chef gingerly assembling my sandwich and pressing it on the grill. (Seriously, go see "Chef"!) And for $12, this was quite the meal. I could only eat about half of the sandwich, and the other half made for a great midnight snack. You could taste each ingredient in the sandwich; the tanginess of the pickles and mustard complimented the protein. And the bread was perfected toasted -- crusty on the outside and soft underneath. The congris was a great surprise. The salsa on top provided a bit of bite right at the beginning but subsided quickly. My complaint with most black beans and rice is that they are typically mushy and flavorless. That wasn't the case with this congris. Plantains are my fave. And that's the only part of this dish that I felt could use a little more work. These are served fried, like chips, and are savory. It was great to eat these with my hands, but I wish they had a bit more flavor to them. All in all, though, Mambo delivered a dinner that I'm still thinking about a day later. Can't wait to find them out and about.

I am not the expert on Peruvian food given my limited experience and tastings but what I do know is…read morethat this was an awesome experience! I was invited by some relatives for late lunch and even at 2pm, the place was packed so I already knew it had to be good. It was also intimate with chic decor and vibrant accents pieces so very fun and Instagram worthy decor happening here. As far as food goes, the servers were friendly enough to help me navigate the menu and land on the seafood options. I had the Arroz con Mariscos and it was presented beautifully, was sizable, and most importantly had incredible flavor. The calamari was a highlight of the dish. It was cooked perfectly. My family enjoyed their food as well and cleared their plates. Though I can't recall what they ordered, I know it was delicious. I stole bites. The plantain side dish also stands out in my mind as a must! I don't live particularly close by and it was a hike coming out but I have it book marked for a future pop in!

The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because of the space. It's a bit small, with no high chair for children. Favorites: - Seco de chivo (sorry mom but this was better than yours!!!) - Caldo de Bola (you can ask for lime wedges on the side) - Encebollado - Cazuela (order this if you love peanut butter. you can add onions to taste but i don't think it needs it!)

I paid almost $23 for my pernil plate with white rice and mofongo. I don't speak Spanish and did not want to argue so I just accepted it and walked out. What they might not know is that I have been here many times before and have never received a random upcharge like this before. I went on DoorDash and mock ordered what I would have ordered and it turned out to be less than what I actually paid at the restaurant. Prices are practically never cheaper on DoorDash! I absolutely feel like I was swindled today. I won't be coming back.
