Omg best empanadas around!!! We enjoyed every bite of our food and the service was great. I can't wait to go back and try the breakfast menu. We enjoyed our empanadas so much that we ordered a half dozen to go! Check out their baked goods as well :)

The food was very delicious. The place are hardy. I definitely would return back to this restaurant. Feel like Colombian or Latin food this is a hit. The empanadas were delicious and full of meat.If you like sweets this is also the place for you. There's a great bakery when you first walked in. He started eating with your eyes before you got to taste any of the baked goods.

My family loves Mambo Cafe. It always satisfies us with both their savory and sweet menu items. My husband is from Elizabeth and we were happy to find a great Colombian restaurant close to our home in EHT. Some of our favs are Bandeja Paisa, Lomo Saltado, Ropa Vieja, tostones amd the Colombian empanadas. Always great food, extremely clean, and even better wait staff.

Very good spanish food. My family and I had an American, Dominican and a Colombia breakfast all at the same time. My family loved this place so much that the next morning we returned to have breakfast again. The second day I had a traditional Honduran breakfast. It was really good.

Mambo Cafe emerged as our spontaneous favorite for pickup, revealing a hidden treasure trove—their dazzling bakery. The empanada symphony, starring chicken and cheese, chicken, beef, and the dynamic duo of beef and cheese, delivered a culinary crescendo that left us convinced they're the reigning champs in Atlantic County!We ordered la bandeja paisa, and it was more than enough food to split the order which was a match made in foodie heaven, each bite an ode to delectable delight. Kudos to Mambo Cafe for making our takeout date feel like a five-star dining experience.However, DoorDash , while convenient, left us with a tinge of sorrow—no access to Mambo Cafes amazing baked goods via delivery .Mambo Cafe isn't just a restaurant; it's a culinary utopia with a dazzling ensemble of hot dishes, sweet treats , freshly baked breads, and desserts that could make the angels weep. The staff's professionalism and charm were the cherry on top of our delightful experience. Consider this a public service announcement: Mambo Cafe has secured a permanent spot in our hearts and taste buds.It's not just a place; it's a lifestyle, a haven for all-day indulgence and gastronomic excellence that I can't wait to brag about to anyone with elevated taste buds and a penchant for foodie joy
