Reviews for Mangos Cafe and Specialty Store in Temple Terrace, FL

Soooo good! I went with 5 friends for brunch and every meal was amazing! We were stuffed. This will definitely be our Brunch... place. I can?t wait for their Haitian menu during the week! Read more

The jerk chicken + yellow rice + cornbread is delicious. The green machine smoothie is really good too. My friend had a... golden-colored smoothie, which is a little more tart than my green drink, she loved it. Amazing service! Didi told us about thesplit menu concept and I really like the variety of food that they have to offer. I?d like to try the brunch next time. Read more

I normally don?t travel to Tampa, but I?m so glad that I did!! Because I came across this little gem! I stopped in with my... husband today and we both were greeted by 2 lady?s (both lady?s were extremely friendly) and they went into detail about whatthey offer. We each got a soul food platter and I?m so glad that we did because I was able to try a few things off the menu andeverything was exquisite. They also talked to us about their Sunday brunches and now I can?t wait to return for some waffles andchicken. Read more

Home away from home! My first experience at this restaurant for Sunday brunch and I would definitely return! The food was... excellent, seasoned well and the rum punch definitely had a ?punch? to it. The staff was extremely kind and courteous. Theydon?t know it, but we have adopted them as our extended family because they truly made us feel welcome. Our group really enjoyedourselves. Will have to make it back closer to opening hours to try the lobster and conch fritters! Read more

Today was only my second time here, but it?s 10/10 perfection like always. The staff is nice and everything is freshly made by... hand. I?m for sure going to make sure to come back more often. The foods too good not to! Read more

I?m in love. First I must say the customer service is phenomenal. You would think your walking into your Aunti Kitchen. Just so... welcoming and warm. The food is just as great as the staff. My daughter is obsessed with the bake Mac and cheese. Just allaround great. Read more

I found this restaurant on a whim and I?m truly glad I decided to go in. I ordered the mac & cheese, yellow rice, honey chicken... with a side of yams. Everything was delicious! My favorite had to be the yams! It was cooked with love. I enjoyed my time there& will DEFINITELY be back. Mangos I?m grateful for your addition to the community ???? Read more

Mangos Ambiance-B+ This spot is the epitome of work with what you got.  They hit the nail on the head of originality and... professional decor.   This is how you start business. And the music sets the mood for an enjoyable dine in experience my onlyknock was that it was pretty hot in the restaurant. It was explained by the owner that the AC went out over night and that theywere in the process of getting it fixed. Cleanliness-A Great attention to cleanliness, even the bathroom isinviting. Appearance of food-A When food looks vibrant with an expectation of flavors to follow, it doesn't get better thanthat. I especially liked how the ribs and cajun riced looked. Taste-B I had the bourbon ribs, dirty rice, yams and collardgreens with their special drink. The ribs were tender, easy to eat but lacked any real seasoning except the sauce on it...theywere a lil sweet for my liking. The collards were nice and complimentary to the yams. The collards had a spice that was oh sonice, good flavor but they were missing the pot liquor flavor that you usually get from well cooked greens.....but good none theless. Those yams were the truth, not overly sweet but sweet enough to let you know that they were yams. They also had abeautiful fresh spices feel to them. The star of the show was the cajun dirty rice, man oh man...just get it and be thankfulyou did. That rice made everything around it better, it was the QB of the meal. I also had a peice of there fried honeychicken, the crispy was light, and the came through, but a lil more seasoning could have made the honey more appreciated in thisitem. And their paradise drink was a great addition to the entire meal. Just a great overall flavor combo when the food is eatentogether. Pricing-B The meal with drink ran me about 18.00. Great lunch spot and even take home dinner option for the price. The overall flavor and and quality make this price point suitable. Overall grade-B+ Im a firm believer in supporting a Read more
