After chatting with one of the lovely ladies that works at the Salon de Beaute across the street, she told me that she loved going to Mango's for lunch and they had great food. She said she is picky about her Mexican food since she is from Mexico and a lot of her family lives south of the border so I had to check it out!
This little Mexican restaurant has great ambiance, with its cute decorations and lively, brightly colored walls. The menu has all your standard favorites such as tacos, enchiladas, and burros to name a few. I like how they offer chile rellenos with different meat fillings, not just cheese. They have freshly made aguas frescas off to the side and Coke products with diet Dr. Pepper as well as diet Coke. Note that the horchata is one of those premixed drinks that come from a separate soda fountain.
I had the al pastor burro ($5.50) to go. It only took a few short minutes and was packaged in a small brown paper bag with an enormous serving of tortilla chips, 2 salsa cups, a lime wedge, and napkins. The whole bag was nearly bursting at the seams and it was hard to carry it without tearing the bag unless I was holding it from the bottom but I don't mind, I'm definitely not going to complain about people giving me too much food! :)
The burro was pretty basic, just meat and tortilla. The meat had good flavor, having a salty, rich taste with some bits of pineapple. The chips were decent, and the salsa went well with both the chips and burro.
Service was friendly and the festive decor makes you feel a little like you're in a tropical cafe instead of the dry desert.
I'll be back to try more on their menu. The lovely beauty expert I talked to said she loved their enchiladas and tortas so I will try that next!
