Mambo's Cuban Cafe on Beach boulevard in Jacksonville is a fantastic Cuban restaurant. We had the Cuban sandwich which was delicious as well as a pork sandwich. Both were really good though they were all too much to finish in one sitting. We were fortunate enough to be able to take some home!

I've been here twice in one week just for thier Arroz Con Pollo and Cuban Sandwich. Both DELICIOUS! Great hospitality and service in this restaurant and you definitely get what you pay for. The food is great and see myself coming right back lol. I definitely recommend eating here, it's family oriented and great for a lunch/dinner date.

The staff were so helpful. The place was cozy and the food was so beautiful & delicious. They got the black beans and white rice perfect. I love me some coconut shrimp. Once I i was finished, I though I was going to order one more - but nope - I had to eat the whole black beans and rice and got stuffed. My girl's order had the black beans and rice. I tried it and got a side for me, that's how I got my portion. Song through Mambos. You'll love it!

We recently hired Mambos for a very special wedding and they definitely stepped up to the plate! Raul and his crew not only provided excellent food and wait staff services, but he exceeded the expectations of the bride and groom and the wedding planners. Thank you Raul for everything! You and your crew are truly outstanding! See you in November!

We went tonight for an early dinner! It was amazing all three of us ordered the Vaca Frita. It was incredible!!!! I think this might be my new favorite restaurant. Unfortunately I can’t spend 19 every time I go out but just wow!!!

My family and I had a wonderful dinner here the other day. The food was incredible and the service made it that much better. Luis was wonderful! He helped with suggested my Cuban born husband loved it all! It wasn’t our first choice for dinner but I’m sure glad we came. Everyone really enjoyed their food including the kids! The Cuban sandwich was huge! I highly recommend Mambos! The only complaint I have is it was close to closing and they started sweeping the floor as we were finished up eat. Not our waiter but someone else. They also turned off the music 10 minutes before closing. We were really enjoying ourselves.

Have eaten at Mambo’s for several years now at both locations (Georgia & Jax) We’ve never been disappointed with our food or service. Generous portions at reasonable prices. One of the few Cuban restaurants near Jax beach area.
