I love a good cheesesteak and if you do too, you should come on down! I came on a slow day for the AMP, so my food came out quickly. The staff were also very friendly. Being in the AMP, there's nowhere to sit immediately by the restaurant so I recommend staying close to there while you wait for your food. My cheesesteak was quite filling and it was nice to get the fries alongside for a very delicious and heartwarming meal on a very wintry day! read more

Mambos Cheesesteak Grill - 1. Original - Combo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I think this was maybe my second time eating here. I always heard good things. While I was there I ordered a cheesesteak sandwich and fries with cheese. The staff wasn't very friendly at all. I asked for several sauces of which they had none. When I got my food, the sandwich fell completely apart. There literally was no bottom because it was so soggy. It wasnt like I took it home, it was right to the table. The cheese sauce I ordered was non existent. The food tasted pretty good despite everything. It was hot and fresh. The restaurant was clean and orderly. The ambiance was average. I would probably ve back if the staff was more friendly, however as it stands. ....I dont know. Maybe. read more

So good!! The cheesesteaks? A must. They have 10 different types to choose from including a veggie option. The staff is always so friendly when we come here, and the owner is very kind as well. If you're in The AMP, add this place to your list! read more

Stopped at the Amp after a morning at the State Museum. We decided on Mambo's. We got a Porko, and a Chivito plus a burger for my son. Sandwiches were really good - the bread bun was perfect - and like the Latin spin on the sandwiches. Fries were decent. Service was excellent read more

I used to live on the East Coast, and I get a hankering for cheesestakes fairly regularly. However, I don't eat a lot of red meat. Usually, that leaves me with chicken cheese steaks. But not at Mambo's. Mambo's has mushroom cheese stakes. And darn good ones. The friendly staff were more than happy to give me the best veggie cheesestake I've probably ever had. I'd definitely check them out if you're at Amp for a concert or other event. read more

We really like the whole garage food concept. Everyone can choose the kind of food they want and or try menu options from several different places. So we headed back to The Amp today. After checking out the menus of a couple new places since my last visit we decided to try Mambos. I had the Deluxe Cheesesteak with onions, green peppers and provolone cheese. It comes with mushrooms too but I had mine not added. I asked for the combo and that included fries and a drink. The total was about $12. The sandwich was good and the fries were even better. My wife had the Teriyaki Chicken Steak combo with onions, bell peppers, cheese and lettuce. Also served with fries. She loved it. She said the bread was soft and absorbed the teriyaki juice from the chicken as she ate it. They had a couple containers of ketchup buried under the fries which was a nice surprise. We both liked that the food is prepared while you wait, served fresh and hot. Once the meats or chicken are cooked, cheese melted and the sandwich built, then they ask you for your preferences on lettuce, tomato, mayo and seasoning for your fries. The servers were friendly and even though the place was packed, we got our food in about 10 minutes or less. Great service. The only complaint we had was the soda machines are shared so no matter where you order from if you get a fountain soda, the set up is to the north end and you serve yourself. Today wasn't a good day to get a soda. The machine was out of syrup or not calibrated right so the drinks were awful. Not sure who is responsible to keep an eye on that. read more

First time at the AMP. What a fun place. Service was very good. I ordered a cheesesteak combo which included a huge sandwich filled with steak, fries and a medium drink for $12. I really liked the roll and the sandwich was jam packed with steak and some peppers and onions. Fries were nice and hot and good. My only complaint was lack of cheese. We watched them cook it and it looks like they had the cheese on the flat top with the food rather than cooking the meat and veggies and then putting the cheese on top. So it was good but cheese would have elevated it to a 4 star- after all it was supposed to be a cheesesteak sandwich. read more

I have been to to the downtown Mambos location in the CIty Market on a few occasions. So, I saw this one a decided to give it a go. Getting free parking here can be somewhat challenging, but not impossible during non peak times. I would not give up and pay for parking. Keep trying. They have different types of cheese steaks and burgers. But who would come to a cheese steak joint to get a burger? I ordered the Porko Steak and Cheese combo which came with fries. It did not take long for me to get my meal. I would say like five minutes or so and it was made fresh. I sat in the AMP Food Court area and ate my meal. It was a lot of food. It was ok. My steak and Cheese was a bit salty, which don't get me wrong, I like seasoning on my food as much as the next guy, but this was a bit too much. The fries were pretty good, but it is hard to mess those up. I remember the other location's steak and cheese being much better. Oh well, It was not the worse that I have had. read more

I'm so happy to see that the AMP has a place like Mambos that adds even more diversity to the place! It was Monday and unfortunately many tenants were closed, and the place I wanted to go to was one of them... BUT this made me try something new which turned out to be just great. mambos is awesome, because it has lomo saltado on their menu!! In case you don't know what it is, according to Wikipedia, "Lomo saltado is a popular, traditional Peruvian dish, a stir fry that typically combines marinated strips of sirloin (or other beef steak) with onions, tomatoes, french fries, and other ingredients" So the menu said lomo saltado so i orders it not knowing it is actually a sandwich. But okay, it was *D-E-L-I-S-H* I chose a salad as a side and it made a perfect lunch. The food was ready in about five minutes too. Guys were friendly. Thank you for having Peruvian food on the menu. read more

I really like this place! First, I love the amp food hall and think everyone should go. Mambos is so good!! I love their steak and it's flavored so well.

This place is the SPOT! I absolutely love the atmosphere in the AMP and have enjoyed getting to know the workers at Mambos. I recommend everyone to stop by, specifically at the AMP location. Their food is always so fresh and served so quick. I have tried multiple things on their menu, though the cheese fries will always hold a special place in my heart. I am an intern at 16 Tech/The Amp and I know Mambos always welcomes feedback and reviews. It has been a joy to promote them on social media. Be sure to check out their menu, as they have added a few new items! read more

Our burger and cheese fries at Mambos were fine. I am glad that they are a location at The Amp, because my kids really wanted burgers and fries when we visited The Amp, and lo and behold, this was the only restaurant in the food hall that offered what my children were after. The serving of cheese fries was very large -- it easily satisfied an adult and two skinny children. The cheese sauce comes in a little cup on the side, so you can dip your fries as you go. The cheeseburger satisfied the role of a cheeseburger, if you know what I mean. I think if I were to visit Mambos again at this location, I would try a cheesesteak, because the word "cheesesteak" is literally in their name, so I'm thinking their cheesesteaks must be good. read more

I was delighted to see a vegetarian cheesesteak on the menu and let me tell you, that sandwich was LEGIT. I checked more than once to make sure I wasn't eating meat but whatever they do to those mushrooms is magic. I got my sandwich fully loaded with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and banana peppers, and it was a bit of a gut buster but very delicious. Fries were good too. I will definitely be back! read more

Mambos Cheesesteak Grill - Friend sandwich, fully loaded, with fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

A friend and I visited the AMP for dinner on a Saturday night and I chose to try Mambo's. Many food shops were closed for the day, so my choice was mostly out of necessity, but I'm glad I tried Mambo's. I ordered their chicken salad and was pleased. The portion size was huge and the ingredients were tasty. I liked the combo of the mambo sauce and banana peppers. One small critique: the salad dressings come in Kraft packets. I'd prefer at least an attempt to disguise that it's a mass-produced dressing by putting in a container, but that's just me being picky. The two gentlemen working were super friendly. The cashier greeted me and helped me pick my order. He quickly worked with the cook to get my order to me in minutes. My husband loves cheesesteaks, so I would definitely return with him! read more

Are you looking for a hangover cure? Maybe a cheat meal? Or you just like indulging in heavy food like me... if so, then the mambos Loaded Steak Fries are for you. At first I was a bit skeptical because I'm not a big shoestring fry guy, but they were fried perfectly - crispy outside but not overly done, and the were fresh out of the fryer. I didn't try any of the sandwiches or burgers, but would at a minimum recommend Mambos as a place to get a side of loaded fries, or make it a meal if you get the large (see my picture)! read more

The breakfast burrito at Mambo's was so good! Made fresh to order you could pick between 3 types of wraps as well as 3 types of meat. You can order just the burrito or add sliced potatoes on the side. They give you a ton of potatoes and you can have them add seasoning to them as well. I would definitely order the burrito again. It was packed with eggs, sausage, cheese, jalapeños, peppers and onions. They sell coffee also! They have a lot of other breakfast items as well. The quesadillas they have I'm sure are just as good. That will be next time. I have had the chimichuri steak sandwich at the Yelp event at the AMP and it was great! Until next time Mambo's! read more

Still awesome Chicken Saltado. You get a lot for your money. They now have fountain drinks available but only water if you are looking for sugar free artificial sweetener free drink. An event was going on today making it really hard to hear the young lady behind the counter and for her to hear me. Please suggest owners put in some kind of sound dampening soft surfaces. read more

Mambos Cheesesteak Grill - Chicken Saltado and fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Inside AMP, the latest foodhall/retail space, Mambos is situated against the back wall. These cheesesteaks really hit the spot, and the service was great. They have a few variations of cheesesteaks to choose from. After the cook up your cheesesteak, you get to pick a variety of toppings and sauces (lettuce, tomato, red onion, banana peppers, jalepenos). Right now their drink options are limited, which were cans of Pepsi, diet Pepsi, mountain dew and bottled water. I don't want to be too much of a snob but I do wish they had fountain drinks - the cans of soda were not very cold. If you want a mean cheesesteak, this will not disappoint! read more

This place is goooood! There's a few things I might change, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve this rating. I have had the chimichuri with both sauces twice now, and I've fallen in love with the flavors. The shoestring fries are also good too. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend the Chimichuri sandwich, it would be hard to regret it. The only thing I would change is instead of one piece of meat, I'd chop it and if you could sub cilantro for lettuce. Though these aren't deal breakers for me. The thought of the buttered grilled roll and the sauces make my mouth water. read more

We stumbled upon Mambos Cheesesteak at AMP in what only can be described as a fortuitous accident! I went in for a cup of coffee at Tinker and something about Mambos started calling my name! Like the Sirens from Ancient Greece the smells were singing their song as they wafted over the tables. I did my best to practice what the fitness people call self control but alas, it wasn't for me! I approached them to order and asked him what on his menu was going to "change my life for the better" - without missing a beat he gently pointed me toward the Chivito. Now I wasn't sure but decided that he gets paid the big bucks to help me make these kinds of life decisions! And let me tell you, I was changed! The flavor profile was unbelievable. It was balanced with each bite. I was caught in this terrible tension of never wanted the experience to end and wanting to quickly take another bite to go right back into the flavor! Totally worth the price! My only disappointment at the end was that a) it was over and b) I wish I had a few more fries to prolong the moment! Would encourage anyone hanging around AMP to listen for their own Siren call! I know I'll be back! read more

My wife and I decided to try some of the new restaurants inside the AMP for our lunch. She was leaning towards getting a Philly Cheese steak, but when she got there some of the breakfast sandwiches caught her attention. But when she tried to order one, she was told they were only doing lunch sandwiches. None of the signage indicated limited hours on the breakfast foods and she didn't ask the manager even though it wasn't noon yet. Some of the breakfast options sounded tasty, so she left disappointed. Not sure how much she missed the cutoff by, but if you are going to have the breakfast foods listed in the middle of your display, there should be some indication of when they are available. She was still hungry, so instead of a cheese steak, she went with bacon double cheeseburger instead. She ate about half and I finished it off for her. She immediately remarked it didn't taste like bacon, but like a burger and a sausage. I tried my first bite and thought it tasted like a burger and sliced ham. Not what either of us expected. Not sure if there was an east coast spin on the flavor or what, but it just didn't taste like a bacon cheeseburger. The sandwich was double pattied, so there was plenty there and I know there was bacon, but it didn't look like bacon I'm used to seeing. So another disappointed customer. Hopefully they will figure out to put times on their menu board if they are going to limit the selections (or better yet, let the customer order what they want!) I have read good things about their cheesesteaks (even enjoyed one at the City Market location. but our visit to try this location left us filled, but not satisfied. Review #3935 read more

My fiancee and I went to the AMP during opening week and while we had a hard time deciding where to get our dinner from, we ended up landing on Mambo's. My fiancee got the Lomo Saltado sandwich, I got the Steak Suizo sandwich and we shared some bacon cheese fries! Everything was delicious! For the sandwiches I saw them throw fresh meat on the grill top along with fresh veggies which is always good to see! For the loaded fries we were offered our choice of nacho cheese or shredded. We went with the nacho and it was quite tasty! A generous amount of cheese and bacon on well cooked french fries. If you're craving a good cheesesteak, check them out! The staff were very friendly and answered our questions and we cannot wait to go back and try something else! Sadly, we were too hungry to take pictures of our food before we devoured it! read more

I got a couple of promotional tickets to spend at The Amp, which I had not head of before. It is a food hall with a lot of different vendors, kind of like City Market, but much newer and updated. When I got the The Amp, I wasn't super hungry, so it was really hard for me to choose between all of the different vendors. I eventually stumbled upon Mambos and was so excited when something stood out and sounded good. I ordered the Teriyaki Cheesesteak, which is topped with grilled chicken, onions, green peppers, house teriyaki, and American cheese and came with a side of fries. The sandwich was phenomenal. It was so flavorful and honestly just what I needed. The bread was great too. Their fries were pretty good. You have the option of adding extra seasoning to the fries and I would highly recommend that. It's a salty, maybe a little cajun-y type seasoning. Even though I wasn't really hungry when I came, I ended up eating everything! That's how good it was. I would highly recommend this sandwich. read more

ik it's really expensive but get #11 from mambo's twist menu (lomo saltado)... it's worth it it's so good

The AMP is a great place to go and check out multiple foodie startups. My mood today was for a cheesesteak and Mambo's delivered. I give extra credit for lack of Philly authenticity: it wasn't dripping in Cheezwhiz (thank you), but rather a higher quality cheese and my choice of toppings. They have a number of different meats and combinations to choose from. If you're craving a freshly made, hot cheesesteak on a very fresh bakery roll, then this is the place to go. read more

Excellent food and at a great price. We loved the location inside of the AMP foodcourt.

Went to the amp for an event and grabbed the single cheeseburger combo with a drink and fries after. The burger was very tasty and the fries had the perfect balance of salt. They gave us a cup of cheese on the side as well for dipping. The soda cup was massive and has plenty of fountain drink options. read more

I love Mambos. I've said before they have the best sandwich I've ever had on their menu. I order the lomo saltado and it is super flavorful. No need to order fries with it, they come in the sandwich. Pro tip: like many other places in the Amp they serve breakfast on weekends. But their breakfast items are about $3 or $4 cheaper than the other vendors. I got a really good and big breakfast burrito for $7 on a Saturday morning and was full all day. read more
