The order that stands out in diner feedback at Mambo’s Cheesesteak Grill isn’t a cheesesteak. It’s the lomo saltado sandwich, a Peruvian option that puts grilled sirloin and fries together on bread at this Wholesale District lunch-and-dinner spot.

A diner’s account describes lettuce, tomatoes and red onions joining the sirloin, with the fries cooked with the steak before going into the sandwich. Two sauces accompany the substantial stack; the green one earns particular praise. The appeal is straightforward: steak, vegetables and fries in the same bite rather than divided between sandwich and side.

Mambo’s Cheesesteak Grill serves lunch and dinner at 125 S Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis. Takeout is available.
