Mambo in Union is a regular go-to for me. Excellent food at fair prices, great sangria, and solid appetizers. The tostones montados con churrasco and mofongo were both delicious. Service is elite and the ambience is transformative. Highly recommended.

This place was amazing, a little pricey, but food was delicious eventhoughit took longer than usual to be prepared. For date night is a great place, they do have lunch special for a certain time. For birthdays they sing.
