DMV Folks..

There are so many versions of it. I hope the one you got is one of the good ones. I prefer mine sweet rather than spicy. You can put it on anything but I keep it simple. Wings, CFA chicken sandwiches and fries.

Good lookin out! those crab fries sound good af! I figured there are different variations of sauces, but I live on the other side of the land, so I won’t get a chance to try them variations out unless I visit DC.

I think it is a great condiment for wings, fries or fried seafood, if that is your thing..

I am always open to trying out different things that isn’t pork based..

Different cooks...different ingredients...some are spicier than others cuz of pepper or hot sauce...them crab fries the truth tho..u get with chicken fingers in em too...Capital city just beat ppl to the punch basically as far as bottling and selling it...that shyt free anytime u buy food ova here..that's why nobody was really moving it like that

I honestly only know of one kind. I am not from the DMV, so I have little to no knowledge of the sauce. But, the one I have is fairly decent, although I wouldn’t say that I would want to eat it as a regular condiment.

I really think that I would have to go out to DC and try the spots y’all recommend to really get a feel for what is like. I am learning..One thing Inhave learned is that living out this way, I am limited on a lot of things food related! But, I guess there are some things out my way that y’all may not be up on..

Thanks for the insight..

That makes sense. I mean, it’s a DC staple, so y’all can probably get homemade sauce that may shyt all over Capital City..

But, I am glad that I have at least had something similar to what y’all get on the regular.

Sorry about that! It just seem like y’all got a slept on food culture out there. I was just curious..

Imma get some wings and fries with mambo sauce all over from Howard China and post the pic for OP later today @Commish I ain't been there in a hot minute even tho my barbershop is right by it, gotta get a cut today.

My personal opinion is Mambo Sauce is overrated. I'm not a big fan of sugary anything these days so I'm biased. But if you insist the brand most people insist is Capital City Mambo Sauce. For the most part the darker the sauce the better. There's some carryouts that sell a lighter pinkish/red mambo sauce and we call that huff sauce

Capital City™ mambo sauce | The famous Washington DC wing sauce

You don't like it cuz you from Murland.
Mumbo Sauce is DC only.

If you gonna order some mambo sauce online, you might as well order some Pineapple or fruit punch Rock Creek Soda to make it a proper meal when you eat it with your wings

Who got the best sauce in the city?

I vote for the spot down the block from Eastern, tho they gentrified and took down the plexi glass the sauce still on point

I know that y’all are up on Mambo sauce and there are different kinds of it..It’s y’all staple condiment..

I am from Southern California, an E/S one @ that, so I don’t know much about the food culture out y’alls way..

One day, I was on YouTube watching some videos about Mambo sauce and some brehs and brehettes were lacin the video with the history and significance of the sauce. It really made me curious, so I went online to see how a I can buy a bottle of it..

Found one brand and ordered it.

It came to me SEALED(thank goodness!) and I put some of it on some chicken! Not bad! Yes, I know I didn’t get the real deal Holyfield like y’all get, but at think it may be close to what y’all may get out y’all way..

Now, I ordered the sweet hot version and I think it would go great on some Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets or spicy chicken sammich from CFA!

Perhaps, y’all could put me up on game about your opinions of the condiment and how it should be properly used?

Oh, to my Chicago brehs/brehettes, perhaps y’all can shed light on mild sauce? I saw some YouTube videos about y’all staple condiment as well. I am curious in knowing more about it..

Much respect!

Just go to Yum's and make sure you get it in the little small lid covered container.... yeah its sweet....I dabble with it a little...but not much.... indeed a local tradition..enjoy!

Breh, our here, we have those jsnky ass strip mall fast food Chinese joints or your regular Chinese restaurants...

But, lemme ask you this...

Do you think Mambo sauce would taste good on Wingstop dryrub flavored wings?

If you like the taste of the sauce, it will taste good wherever you eat it
