“The tuna tostada stack is amazing but definitely does not travel well. I took some home for my son to eat and the tostadas were soggy in areas but even still he loved the flavors and the tuna tasted really fresh in general. My daughter got the coconut shrimp which wasn't really worth the cost in our opinion because it was just okay and she didn't like the sauce at all. I got the mahi mahi tacos which would have been amazing if it wasn't for the shell being so tough and chewy. Everything inside was delicious, the fish was seasoned perfectly but yeah I almost wanted to dump out the tacos and ditch the shells which was a little upsetting. I got the yellow rice and beans on the side which was seasoned really well and definitely hit the spot. The service was quick and efficient. There wasn't anything special about the atmosphere but we also didn't go when they had live music and such. We definitely wouldn't go back very often because of the prices of everything but we would be willing to again maybe when it's not in-between lunch and dinner and when there is live music“

“We are so thrilled that Hey Mon opened up within WALKING distance of our house. We will definitely become regulars. Our whole family loves their Puff Bread . The Roti Bread is OUT OF THIS WORLD! The sauces are delicious! We haven’t even begun to try the dinners but we’ll be back!!! My goal is to make my way through the entire menu by the end of the summer. We go to the Caribbean every year for Spring Break. What a way to have the islands here all year round!“

“Mango’s Cafe is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside the inviting atmosphere sets the perfect backdrop for what is sure to be a fantastic meal.

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!“

“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.
