I had the pleasure of trying several dishes during my visit, and I can confidently say that everything was a perfect 10/10. Each plate was a delightful explosion of flavor, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to quality and creativity. The menu offers a diverse selection, but you can’t go wrong with their honey fried chicken and the catfish which was made to order was literally perfect!

But it’s not just the food that makes Mango’s Cafe stand out. The customer service was exemplary. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and attentive.

If you’re a newcomer, don’t be deterred by the line outside(and inside)—trust me, the food is absolutely worth the wait! The buzz of excited patrons only adds to the vibrant atmosphere, and once you take your first bite, you’ll understand why so many people are eager to get in.

Excitingly, with a new location opening soon, there will be plenty of deliciousness to go around! Whether you're a local or just visiting Tampa, make sure to add Mango’s Cafe to your must-try list. You won’t regret it!“

“I would have liked to given 5 stars. The doubles were the best I've had in Florida. I craved a decent doubles and haven't had any good ones since moving from NY. I ordered the curry duck, and she did warn it was spicy. I'm a pepper freak I eat the hottest pepper sauce and cook with heavy pepper so I was cool to try it. This was made to hurt people seriously. There's no way you can sell that curry NO ONE can eat it if I can't. I also didn't like the sesame oil steam veg all over the top of it where I couldn't see exactly what I was eating. The decor was hilarious I loved the sarcastic signage and quotes all over the restaurant. My grams Grace and grandfather Mike sent me there. They send their regards to your daughter and miss your mom dearly. Thanks for the meal, please lower that pepper!!“

“Place is really close to home so that's convenient. Good food. Best for takeout, not eating in. They don't speak much English so point to tell them what you want and they'll take care of you. I ordered the vegetable tray, since I'm not eating meat right now. It was seasoned to perfection and perfectly crispy brown. I didn't miss meat at all.“

“We flew from New York for my sister-in-law funeral. We were looking for somewhere to catered for the repass. We try several Jamaican restaurant until we get to the Island jerk shack there was nothing compared to this place. They cater for us. The food was spectacular everyone at the repass. enjoy it on complemented it I’m telling you if you ever need somewhere to eat are catered for your function this is the place I recommended. The food was good and I am from New York and if we say the food is good, the food is damn good 100%“

“This is such a nice hidden gem. I had a short time for lunch on a weekday and wanted something good to eat. Looked up some places by me and this one came up. When I got there it doesn't look like a restaurant style but it is such a good place to eat. You can grab something already made and the selection is incredible or you can get something that requires some extra love. The food was delicious and a lot. Highly recommend.“
