Cuban sandwich & fries (+ a side of Maduros)
Rachel P.

We took the gamble on a new place tonight and are so glad we did! Mambo is excellent! The space is beautiful, the food is delicious and the service is excellent. We ordered the empanadas, Ropa Vieja & Cuban sandwich and everything was delicious. Give Mambo a try, and definitely order the empanadas for the table!

Tres empanadas

Ordered an appetizer and waited half and hour to get it. The appetizers were not anything special, there was nothing to make it unique to this restaurant. The waiters there were kind. They also do not have Apple Pay, not a huge deal but I happened to lose my debit card.

Buffet plate

The most amazing-tasting buffet I've ever been to! I have been to lots of places to eat in the Bay Area so when I came to visit Utah I didn't think it would live up to the restaurants in Cali- I was so wrong! This place was absolutely delicious and even better than a lot of Caribbean restaurants that I went to in the bay. Iris the chef was so kind and sweet and informed us how everything is fresh and how she cooked it all on her own, which I found so awesome. Customer service was awesome as well. Anyone would make a great choice coming here and I recommend it 100%!

The food was good and the environment was well designed. Our waitress was very friendly and welcoming. This is a straightforward, nothing fancy, type of place. The service is clumsy snd slow, so don't come in a hurry;)

Tropical bread pudding

I logged in from the wrong account so my review is hidden and I wanted to make sure everyone can see it. What a cute place. I was served by a sweet young girl. The shrimp risotto was delicious. And of course had to get dessert! Omg so good! The owner/chef came out and chatted with me. Super nice man. The vibe of this place is awesome. Salsa and bachata music made me want to dance. You need to check this place out.

Went again! Got the Pernil and oh wow, it was amazing. My friend got the churrasco and I stole a few bites. Nothing is subpar at Mambo. Also! The tropical bread pudding was delicious.

City of South Salt Lake

If you want to experience rich flavor, come here. If you're looking for a cozy, warm, home-style…read moreexperience filled with delicious, authentic food, then this is the place! Si quieres experimentar sabores increíbles, ven aquí. Si lo que buscas es una experiencia acogedora y cálida, como en casa, llena de comida auténtica y deliciosa, ¡este es el lugar!

This was my second time eating here, and the experience was sadly lacking…read more I hate giving mom-and-pop shops lower ratings, so I will emphasize that this experience happened at 7:30pm on a Monday (the day before they close for two days). We placed an order through their preferred app. The food prices online are definitely (and expectedly) inflated. It will be cheaper to order in the restaurant. Our total for two sandwiches and two sides of rice and beans was $54.72 (including a tip). When we arrived at the time our food was supposed to be ready, we were told that they had not started cooking the meal. Then, we were told that they only had enough lettuce for one of the two sandwiches, so we chose one sandwich to have lettuce and the other without. They brought out our food 15 minutes later, and they gave us a complementary dessert to make up for the trouble, but the issues did not end there. When we opened the box to eat the sandwich, there was barely any lettuce on it--the sandwich would have been better if they omitted the lettuce completely. Additionally, the chicken sandwich was, unfortunately, dry. I had to put sauce on it at home to make it edible because of how dry it was. Sadly, it will be a little while until I try this place again.

They're currently having a pop up shop in City Hall (451 S State Street) and I'm loving it!…read more I've been there a few times already and I definitely have to recommend the Mafe Poutine. The owner is super friendly and came out to ask us how the food was personally. The decor is super cute too. Definitely check them out.

I called Balabe a few weeks in advance to inquire on catering services for my work place…read more Communication with Ibou was really smooth and he was able to provide different options the employees could have such making the food gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian. On the day of the catering event, Ibou came and had to go boxes labeled with each employees name on it. This took out any guesswork for me which made me appreciate the small details he put into the catering service. He provided a bottle of dressing for the salad and 2 chili oil bottles for the food if people dared to eat spicy. The plate that I got was called Yassa which was chicken in lemony onion sauce with rice and salad. The Yassa plate was super flavorful and easy to eat and the dressing was to die for! I would highly recommend trying out Balabe if you're in town. Follow them on social media and find out where they're at with their food truck. If there's something I can dock points away is how expensive it was to cater. If I were to add up the total price of tax, tip, and delivery, the total came out to be about $26 per person just for a plate.
