I forgot to mention that seating for this dinner is limited to about 60-70, so make reservations to me as soon as you can; we're more than half full already!

Just 4 more days, kiddies, to reserve for this classic Puerto Rican repast.

And remember, bring your dancing shoes!

how was dinner last night?

[herbacidal]

quite good. unfortunately, we didn't get to dance.

everything was tasty, from the bistec to the pernil to the seafood soup.

the house and hot sauces were both very tasty on top of the rice, pernil, garlic knots, and mofongo.

i was thinking about trying it next weekend 5-7th. there is a rib fest right down the street at the arena.

Dinner at Mambo's was very good and this is the real deal when it comes to Latino food. The seafood soup was excellent, the empanidillas very good, the pernil unreal, and the steak and chicken very good as well. The owner and his svelte wife can surely cut the rug and are as smooth as it gets! Now, my favorite Latino restaurants (each for different reasons but each similar in a way) are: Tierra Colombiana in North Philly, Diaz in Avon-by-the-sea, and Mambo's in Trenton. Each serve authentic home-cooked food that is incredibly cheap in a very nice family atmosphere.
