Family Style - Original Airdate 11/02/09
Guy Fieri rolls in for real family cooking. In Providence, Rhode Island, an old family place where a couple of brothers are putting a spin on the family tradition, like stuffing Dad's ravioli with barbequed chicken. In Houston, Texas, a joint in a strip mall where a couple of guys from Bosnia are serving the classics their moms made them; And in Glendale, California, a joint where one family's making their own Cuban favorites, from pork to ceviche.

Hmm, just got a bad review at http://www.flavortownusa.com/mambos-cafe.aspx for Mambo's Cafe. I wonder if it's just someone steaming or if it's true.
If anyone has been there let me know...
You can't hate on Mambo's. Service gets busy, but **DAMN** the food is TIGHT.
Mambo's was one of my favorite out of the 12 I've been to in the LA basin. I met Raul Jr. and Raul Sr. while I was there--both were as nice as can be. The civeche was awesome. I hate flan but my friend talked my into trying the flan at Mambos--it was awesome. I would go back there in a nanosecond. I'm sorry that someone had a bad experience there, but I REALLY like the place.
