Mr Mambo Restaurant & Cantina

On a Saturday evening (May 4th, 2024) around 6pm, I stopped by this restaurant with 6 others while celebrating my cousin's birthday. We just finished the escape room / axe-throwing venue across the street. Apparently, this restaurant has been on her list to visit so we all figured why not.It was a good weather day but surprisingly the restaurant wasn't as busy as I would've expected. The interior was spacious and there were plenty of staff members available. I liked the upscale appeal of the interior - the tables were made of a marble-type surface with wooden edging, the chairs were fashionable yet comfortable, and there was great lighting throughout. It was windy so we decided to sit inside. Also, the staff were all dressed etiquette, all black presentation (which is something that many industries have done away with). We were sat toward the front, the hosts and server(s) added a table to one of the booths to seat us all. The service was immediate. As we sat, the server handed out waters and menus for the table while asking if we wanted drinks. As we browsed the large menu, we were nowhere near close to ordering but he checked back with us a couple of times until we ordered drinks. I ordered a large frozen mango margarita while three others ordered 3 similar drinks. After we finished scaling the menu, I initially wanted the Steak Don Jose but someone else ordered before me (and I'm a fan of trying different things) so I ended up asking for the Quesedilla Azteca, one with chicken and one with ground beef. When the food arrived, everything instantly looked fantastic. The plates themselves were huge and each had "devour me" written all over them. To my surprise, the two quesedillas were enormous, taking up most of the entire plate. They were barely closed as they were stuffed with cheese and meat then smothered with more cheese. Each bite was instantly satiating, filling me up but still wanting more. As much as I tried finishing both, I had to ask a to-go box for the rest. By the end, everyone was stuffed. The service was very consistent! When we were done, to-go boxes were brought as plates were being picked up. Though we were a party of 7, the checks were divided appropriately with no issue.I'm not normally in Broken Arrow but I was overwhelmed with joy that I was able to eat at Mr. Mambo's while I was there. The service was very attentive from start to finish. The drink was generous, almost never-ending. Great ambiance as well! But the food really is what you want from a Mexican restaurant. The portion size does not compromise the quality. I would enjoy visiting during sundown next time. I would highly recommend this establishment for a stop-in, with a friend or family, lunch or dinner.

This is my husband and I's go to Mexican spot because of the margaritas and the proximity to our house. We are probably here at least once a week. The blue margarita is my favorite margarita anywhere and is consistently strong and delicious. Service is quick, and food is consistent. Love their queso!

we were dining this evening when the power went out. We remained seated for an hour hoping the power would come back on while eating our food. We had finished our meal and our waiter asked if we had cash. unfortunately we did not. He sent the manager over he requested we place our card information on paper. I truly did not feel comfortable doing that and he then became snarky and nasty to us practically dismissing us. We were loyal customers until that unruly service. Do not recommend.

I drained an entire salsa bowl amount of water from my salad plate. I got the Shrimp salad and it was so soggy.My husbands nachos were cold and greasy.Server was attentive.Due to quality of food, we will not go back.

Overcharging my card for additional tip means I won't be back. Food means nothing at this point. I've had this happen in Broken Arrow on more than one occasion and at this point it takes less time and effort to just leave a bad review. Pay attention and do better!

The sauce on my street tacos was mostly mayo. The meat was dry. The best thing I ordered was water and rice. Waiter never refilled our drinks that were empty half way through our meal. My husband said his chimichanga was just okay. He wouldn't try my tacos after seeing them and the look on my face.

This is a good Mexican restaurant. Nice decor and good staff. Food is always good and so is the service.

Today's container of salsa was less than 1/2 the size of what we were receiving earlier in the year... which, in turn, was only half the size of what Mambo was providing in their takeout bags 3 or 4 years ago. It's just gotten ridiculous. I like to spread the salsa on my enchiladas, beans, and rice. There was barely enough in this itty bitty container for that, let alone any for a second person or to eat with chips.

Another favorite Mexican. We share the pablano dinner (it's quite large). The prices are great and always have great service!

My favorite guacamole & the best chicken tortilla soup!! Refresh on exterior has improved your presence at 101st & Elm. However, please clean your interior. Do a deep clean. Windows & wall decor is covered in a layer of dust. Take a hard look at floor, menus and all interior presentations. Remove dead plants from patio. I hope to return and enjoy the meal without seeing dust and dirt on the surfaces.
