Mango Mexican Restaurant

Entrees are large to very large servings. All Mexican style dishes. Fajitas are not bad at all, esp chicken or shrimp. But the «goes with» for every entrée is the same: re-​fried beans, Mexican rice, and chopped lettuce with dollops of guac and sour cream. Wish they have more variety; on repeat visits, the servings eventually all taste alike. Some appetizers and soups are available. To get some variety, I ordered a steak quesadilla appetizer, which does not include sides. The taste was very good, good size, but the «steak» was chopped and had many pieces of hard gristle in it. Try the chicken or other versions. The food is not spicy.
Normally service is good, but on one visit we didn’t get a water refill even after a couple of acknowledged reminders. Bar and food are reasonably priced.
The current owners have steadily upgraded the run-​down place they bought a few years ago. Med size hard tile dance floor. Have great ballroom/​swing/​Latin band on Thurs ($ 10 cover), and live or DJ Mex programs Fri, Sat and Sun. Full bar. Res recommended if you want a table.

Ay, Carumba! This place is bad for dinner! We went on a Friday night at 7:30 and WE WERE THE ONLY DINERS THERE ALL EVENING ! T. hat should tell you something… Despite that, drink service was slow, with no water being served until we asked. Their pitchers of Margaritas were very weak… maybe they were saving the
tequila for the dance customers later. I agree with the other reviewers– stay away from the steak!. My friend liked her red snapper, and the guacamole was decent, so maybe the rest of us just ordered the wrong things.(ie, typical Mexican food!)
As we left at 10:30, the owner of the pool hall next door told us he was nice not to tow us, since we parked in front if his business. There was no sign, and it’s a strip mall! .
I guess you could say the perfect ending to a depressing evening!

Been to this place numerous times. Music is not so great, they have bad reviews for a reason. If i could give a 0 star they would receive it. The owner is a gigantic b i t c h. When confronted about her POS business in a cordial manner she starts to act very unprofessionally and threatens to call the police instead of putting the customers first. This place is very discriminatory. The staff at the night club are rude and unprofessional. I do NOT recommend this place, if youre looking for good music and night life go elsewhere! Trust me these ppl do not give a damn about customers first they just want your money because they obviously desperately need it to maintain their doors open. I refuse to ever go back and give them a dime. They need to get closed because any place that cant accept fault for their lack of good service is a dump! Unless they switch owner and get a completely new staff this wont stay open long. I hope the owner (s) read this and crinch in their seats.

I went here with my family and friends and had a horrible experience. My order was really easy too. I got the chile rellenos and a mango smoothie. After getting my food I asked when will I get my smoothie. The waitress said it was coming right up. 10 mins later and nothing. When she came back to refill my water I asked a 2^nd time and she apologized and said she will get it right away. Another 10 mins pass and this time my food was already done. As she was collecting my plates I was clearly frustrated and told her I never got my smoothie. She then said «Oh we ran out of mangoes» Now how can you call your restaurant Mango and then run out of mangoes? Its like walking into a KFC and the employee saying they ran out of chicken. She asked if I would like something else so I ended up going with a strawberry smoothie. I would not recommend this place to anyone and just from reading other reviewers negative experiences this place should be shut down.

Wow. What a disaster this place is and it’s clear that without the live music and other entertainment driven events this place hosts, it would almost certainly be out of business. If a rating of zero was an option on Unilocal,this place would more than fit the bill.
We came on Wednesday night which happened to be «big band’ night. The live 17 piece band was excellent, too bad the food was putrid and the service completely lacking. They offer a $ 12 dinner menu on these nights and you get to choose a soup or salad, one appetizer and one entrée for this price. We ordered the guacamole and calamari for appetizers and the carne asada and chiles rellenos for entrees. We also had the «Mango Salad’ and chicken soup.
Here’s the skinny:
Chicken soup: salty, dirty tasting and mangled pieces of chicken.
«Mango Salad»: lots of finely chopped iceberg, a few pieces of tomato and a lonely, dry piece of mango. Not good.
Guacamole: looked grey with tints of green with little flavor of avocado. There seemed to be a lot of mayo and salt in there…
Calamari: super chewy, fishy tasting and very oily.
Carne Asada: poor quality skirt steak that was excessively salty and cooked to leather like quality despite being requested medium.
Chiles Rellenos: one single chile for the entire entrée. It was liquefied and looked like someone had stepped on it.
Service:
When taking our order, our waitress criticized us for ordering out of sequence. We initially asked for our entrees, appetizers and soup/​salad. Our waitress informed us that we had to start over because we ordered «backwards.» No water was provided until well into our dinner despite multiple requests. We requested our check and it took over 15 minutes to get it… an eternity as we could not get out of there fast enough.
Avoid this place.

Ok — We’ve been here several times over the last few years (never great but for the opening month) but today was an all time low. Thought it would be good on Cinco de Mayo — service was slow 60 minutes to get food and not all at once. Was never asked for a second round of drinks. Waitress never asked us how our food was, but she was the ONLY server in the place of ⁵⁄₅???
Place was filled with older people who came to dance for the Big Band music (how weird is it to have old swing dancers while you are trying to enjoy a margarita).
Food is becoming more and more bland! I’ve tasted better fast food Mexican. Waitress told us she was charging us for more chips — one basket for 5 adults???
I will not go again. We suggested this place as it is also on American Airlines dining miles. I’d rather go to Taco Bell.
I wish they would have stuck with being the Sphinx and the Mediterranean food as that was really good.

Really, a terrible place. Service, food, etc — all bad.
As soon as our server saw the
coupon, which we had used as incentive to try the place, her mood changed. No free chip refills, no checking on how the food was, checking on other tables while walking by ours, etc. We had 7 people including 2 children — 2 of the orders were completely wrong, even though she wrote them down and repeated them to us.
We also saw the waitress talking on her cell phone and eating cheetos behind the bar. Shortly after, she was filling a to-​go bag of tortilla chips for someone using her bare hands. Really gross place. She brought our food out immediately after her cheetos snack.
Foodwise — everyone hated what they ate. I got the chimichanga which was burnt dark brown and the steak tasted like a microwave burrito filling. My son’s hamburger was so greasy there was a puddle on the plate. He ate none of it.
I rarely hope that places go out of business, but this restaurant has to go.

This is funny. I believe we came here the same night as the initial reviewer. Sorry if my review sounds redundant.
The place was pretty empty, but the music was bumping. Came here with sister and cousin, and we split the chicken nachos. Was pretty disappointed with the nachos. It was a decent sized plate, but the chicken was a little dry, the guac didn’t taste fresh, and the refried beans weren’t smashed to a smooth consistency
Had a margarita, and it wasn’t good at all. Barely tasted like mango, more like straight rubbing alcohol. Gross
The staff here was very nice. But i wish i could base it on the food, as Sarah M had
