The food was absolutely incredible....we had the Ropa Vieja, bistec a la Parilla and pernil a la parilla. All of it was amazing, the service... More

An extra $20 was added to our bill for the live entertainment. That wasn't apparent in any add nor on the menu. The alcohol is over priced so is the food. The steaks (Fillet Mignion and New York) were too chewy. The Tuna steak was too greasy. The prices do not match the quality. The music and the ambiance was... More

This was my 4th time at Mambo's Lounge and I don't live anywhere near Toronto! Every single time I am in Toronto though, I always make sure to stop here for an amazing meal and authentic ambiance. Food, drinks, staff and music are top notch here. You are treated like family. Mambo Lounge is a little bit of Cuba right... More

Following the reviews from trip advisor, I decided to host my husband's surprise birthday party. The food, service and atmosphere was exceptional. I have nothing else but great things to say about this experience. I totally recommend visiting this restuarant. The music was a great addition. More

Had the tapas.... very good...lots of food. Our authentically Cuban server was very friendly and provided great service. At $100 for two (including 2 mojitos and a glass of wine) it might be considered a tad (just a tad) on the expensive side (there was also a $5 per person entertainment fee for the piano player, who was ok, but...

Mambo Restaurant is a true gem. It has everything a great restaurant should have - good location, great food, great drinks, great ambiance and amazing staff. I am a regular customer and have had the pleasure of trying most of the dishes on the menu and none have disappointed me. The cocktails, especially the mojitos are definately better than what...

It's a small restaurant but the food is simply delicious and the owner and staffs are very friendly and wonderful people. If you want to feel like you're in Cuba go here they also have live music and also a sort of carnival that they do in the summer because they've a huge patio in the back. I'll be going... More

We (8 of us) went to the Mambo Lounge to celebrate my husbands birthday. Having returned from our first trip to Cuba, I was hoping to re-create the Cuban experience. We definitely weren't disappointed! The place is relatively small, but does not fall short on several levels. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by our server who... More
