Cafe Mambo Hierbas?
- Thread starter Fraz
- Start date
I see from the facebook photos that they are serving their own brand of Hierbas this year and no longer dishing up the Mari Mayan's to everyone.

My guess is that it is the same as Mari Mayan's but put in their own bottle.

It´s different from Mari Mayans and made locally in San Antonio.

It was only a few years ago you could walk up an hour or so before sunset and get a waterside table. Now they are all reserved with those minimum spend type people. You can't even just sit down and have a drink anymore you have to eat. I now just sit on the rocks with my drink. Better view and about 90% cheaper.

Aye did the same when I was out there, right out on the rocks where you weren't crowded by people and could enjoy it in relative peace. Had a drink at the waterside during the day and the view was nothing special either.
table for sunset dining at mambo is between 60-110 euros min spend per person
I ate there last week with no reservation, just turned up about an hour before sunset and waited 10 mins with a drink. There was no min spend. In fact the bill came to about 80 euros for 2 people.

It means you have to spend that much per person on food and drinks when you're there.
It's the same with Savannah - if there's a table free you can rock up and spend what you like. It's only those people who MUST have a table at a fixed place and INSIST on knowing it's all booked for them who get done for the minimum spend thing. If you just take the view that if it's full you'll go somewhere else you'd be amazed how often you get in to a decent place. This Season the over-capacity thing is nowhere near as bad as it usually is in August so the fleecing is definitely contained, if you're a bit flexible about things and are prepared to try your luck a bit.

The longest I've spent in Mambos over the last couple of years is last year, when I was walking along the promenade from Calo d'es Moro. The DJ was playing "Don't leave me this way" by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes 8) and I had to just sit and take in the moment, it was just perfect for that brief duration.
Don't think I've been in the night since radio 1 left there.

Its in a very similar bottle to the Can Rich brand
Checked the drinks menu when I was in Mambo earlier this week. Its available at 90€ a bottle
I will settle for the usual Mari Mayans or Can Rich thank you very much
The bottles were custom designed in italy. So im not sure how you think they look like the can rich bottles. Maybe listening to too many other peoples small talk?
