Best Cuban food in NJ

Mambo is an amazing restaurant that is truly a hidden gem in NJ. The food is so delicious and flavorful. Service is prompt and friendly. The prices are very reasonable and portion sizes are generous. Would highly recommend Mambo and we will definitely be coming back!

We came in for lunch after Sunday service. Coming into the restaurant, we were greeted with a smile by a group of employees. The place was inviting with its lively Cuban music. Juliana, our waitress was the sweetest. She was knowledgeable in the different foods choices and helped us make a decision on the food choices and desert. The place is clean and the ambiance is beautiful with Cuban arts and history. I am definitely coming back. Thank you Juliana.

Visited on a Saturday around 4:00pm, upon arrival, they offered to valet park our car (there’s no fee for it however a tip is appreciated as they work on tips). Upon entering the restaurant, I realize it’s broken up into 2-3 sections on the main floor as well as there’s a downstairs for events. We were waited on by Jason who was very welcoming and also gave us some recommendations. I ordered the Pargo which is a fried red snapper with a side of white rice, red beans (has pork in it) and a side of fried sweet plantains. My wife ordered shrimp in creole sauce. We also ordered the fried pork bites for our appetizer. We enjoy every bit of our meal and will definitely revisit.
