Mägo, a charming restaurant in Oakland, offers a unique dining experience with its creative menu and warm ambiance. The restaurant's decor features a cozy, intimate feel with soft lighting, perfect for a quiet dinner.
The menu at Mägo presents a mix of flavors, with most dishes receiving positive reviews. The jicama, rhubarb, feta bunuelo, and radicchio starter dish showcases intriguing flavors, although the execution was a bit disjointed. The ling cod, maitake "ajiaco", capers, and avocado dish was praised for its perfectly cooked ling cod and the earthy depth of the maitake mushrooms. However, the beef carne asada was a bit of a letdown, with some pieces being a bit dry.
The standout dishes at Mägo include the pan de coco with plantain butter, which was a delightful combination of sweet bread and creamy plantain, and the torta de zanahoria (carrot cake) with rum raisin and cinnamon, which delivered a classic carrot cake flavor with a boozy twist.
While the service was reported to be a bit slow at times due to staff shortages and high customer volume, the overall ambiance and creative menu offerings make Mägo a worthwhile dining destination. The restaurant's versatile seating options, including a charming back patio with heated lamps, add to the overall experience.
