Don't let the outside deter you since it's in a corner of a plaza and the outside isn't anything to write home about. The menu is plentiful and all our food turned out great. This is what we ordered below. - Ropa vieja - Stewy beef -Masitas- fried pork chunks served with a masa side. The pork was on the dry side but the masa with pork cracklings were food. - Kid's chirassco steak- A lot of food here from the kids menu - Guava and cheese empanada - the BEST empanada I've ever had. The crust was amazing with a generous amount of guava jam inside the guava had a very nice flavor. - Sangria - filled with lots of fruit in a large glass, $9.99. They apparently have a food truck that sells the empanada under their restaurant name. I highly recommend finding where they will be and check them out. Next time I'm going to try the Cuban sandwich. I bet this would be awesome.

Light, flakey pastry with plenty of meat and peppers inside. The croquettes were just ok. I go to Miami regularly so maybe I'm a little biased.

Cali N Tito's is an Athens classic, so while I was in town for the weekend, I had to stop by. It…read morehad been a couple of years since my last visit, and I was glad to see the service was still just as fast and friendly as I remembered. It's counter service--you order at the register, find a seat (there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating), and they'll bring your food out. I ordered the fish taco combo, which came with two fish tacos, yuca fries, and a canned drink. The tacos were good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the menu changes. Everything is a combo now, and I was told I couldn't order the tacos by themselves. I wish they'd bring back the à la carte option because I'd rather try a few different things than be locked into one meal. The yuca fry portion was also smaller than I expected--I only got about five fries. Overall, it's still a spot I'd recommend if you're visiting Athens since it's been a local favorite for so long. I just left a little less impressed than I remember being the last time I was here.

They also have some of the best Peruvian drinks in the area, making the meal even better. The service was warm and welcoming, the portions were generous, and the overall experience was excellent. If you're looking for authentic Peruvian flavors, Mambo's Cafe is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back!

Why in the world is Mambo's Café so far away? I need this restaurant to be right across the street…read morefrom my house so I could go every day. Let's talk about it. LOL Mambo's Cafe is located in Buford, Ga which is Northeast of Atlanta. When we entered the restaurant after our 5k, we were seated immediately and I will say Im glad we showed up when we did, because when we left people were everywhere waiting to be seated. So, Our waitress was amazing, she didnt miss a beat all the questions we had, she answered! We started off a complementary garlic bread with a Verde sauce. It was green with a pinch of spicy, but it was very good. Next, we ordered the beef empanadas and they cut them up for us so that everybody could sample them. They were so good. I had to get an order to go to take them home to my husband. For my drink, I ordered a pink lemonade. It was almost like I needed some sugar and I knew that would hit the eight spot even though it was carbonated it still was good. For the main train I went with ANGUS CHURRASCO STEAK!! Medium well of course! Wowwwwww!! This steak was top-tier. I enjoyed every bit of it, and what I could eat. Of course, I had to take the rest of them. It came with an option of beans I went with black beans plantains in a Spanish rice, which was amazing. The chimichurri sauce that came on the steak was was flavorful yeah, I even asked for some to take home and verde sauce as well. Lol The steak was tender outside skirt steak grilled and topped with our famous chimichurri sauce (garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil). $28 My entire bill with $58 including the takeout empanadas I will most definitely be going back. I enjoyed every minute of this restaurant.

We had a great experience here…read more We decided to check this place out because of the high reviews in google. They did not disappoint. They make you feel welcome when you come in. Everyone was really nice. Our server Ruby, was nice and was knowledgeable about the menu. I decided to try the oxtails. They were really good. But for $26.00 dollars I expected more that 4 oxtails. We also tried the chicken and beef empanadas. They we good and the sauce made them even better. I noticed as we were leaving they were starting their live music. I bet this place really comes to life after 8p. I will have to return to check it out. Overall a great experience.

I got the lemon pepper wings. They are dry rubbed. They were crispy, well seasoned, and juicy. I've made them at home and now I don't have to. My husband got the Katie's special flavor wings. They were wet. It was a mixture of garlic and buffalo and something else. He liked it a lot. The wings were served with celery and wet wipes. We got ranch dressing cause we don't care for blue cheese. Mike did a great job. Drinks: we ordered the pineapple upside down cocktail as a shot x 2 delicious both times. Tasted just like a pineapple upside down cake. We ordered the Piña colada: Delicious. The Havana Breeze: Delicious. The Café Con Leche Martini: Delicious. This is because Kaitlyn is a great bartender. Attentive. The bathrooms are clean. They are still cramped but that's the space constraints not fault of Katie's. The floors are not greasy and slippery. The place is clean and the staff are friendly. The music is perfect volume. They were hosting poker night and it was a decent crowd. Not loud. Everything was just nice. And these days nice is wonderful. It was a great upgrade from our experience 1 year ago and a welcomed change. Thanks Adam for convincing us to try this hometown gem. We will be back.

My husband ordered oxtail. See photos. I ordered Churasco. The receipt said medium well. No one ever asked how I wanted the steak cooked.

I did not receive the extra steak. The oxtail lacked flavor and so did the steak. We won't be back! See photos!
