Cafe Mambo

Cafe Mambo Review

Paia is one of Maui's most interesting food towns, and this Mediterranean-inspired joint is right in the thick of it. It's kind of frenetic in every way, from the menu to the decor and to the service. But the food is good, well priced, and the people-watching is fascinating. The husband-and-wife owners, from England and Spain respectively, decorated the place with Moroccan clay pieces; teak and coconut-wood tables are set in the middle of benches with Middle Eastern pillows. The menu goes all over the place, too, with all-American burgers, island fish, Moroccan tagines, Spanish tapas and paella.
