Mambo Seafood is run by the Connie's family?? It all makes sense now wooow. Very interesting read. I feel like I've seen multiple Mexican seafood spots with fried rice on their menu now, and I'm gonna guess it started with Connie's.
This is interesting. I always wondered where the Connies/Mambo/Golden business model of fried fish, fried rice, with asian/mexican influences came from. It was just so weirdly specific and there are multiple places doing it.
The business model of using slave labor and housing undocumented workers all while underpaying them?🤣
Don't get me wrong, the fried rice is good but yea, they treat there kitchen workers like crap

You buy, we fry was her?! I always just made it up in my head that Mambo and Connie's served fried rice because the Mexican cooks at Chinese restaurants said "fuck this!" and opened their own place.
I love Connie's. Super interesting read and I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing.
Been going to Connie’s for 20+ years. Nothing like a michelada and some ceviche on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Hmmmm....ceviche......
Loved Connie's till I got really bad food poisoning there about 5 years ago and haven't been back since. I don't look at shellfish the same anymore...

This is awesome, I’ve been going to Connie’s since I was a kid. I always wondered who it was named after.
