I have been going to Tango Mango for over 20 years, at least twice a month, because the food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. The same team has been there forever, wrapping burritos at lightning speed while keeping everything consistently delicious.
And about those people complaining about paying extra for pickled onions… let’s be real. These are made in-house, not scooped out of a jar. If that extra dollar hurts, there are plenty of chains nearby that will gladly serve you a canned version with zero soul.
This is Newton Centre, not a strip mall. Quality costs money, and it’s worth every bite. I am not a millionaire, just someone who appreciates hard-working small businesses that keep doing things right. Bring back the pickled onions and corn, please. Some of us know good food when we taste it.

I come here fairly often and am really pleased with the vegan options. The staff are great about avoiding cross contamination and the vibe is really great inside. Highly recommend!

Definitely over priced for the amount of food you get. I’ve never been charged for toppings at a taqueria before. Also haven’t been to a taqueria where they don’t have hot sauce at tables you have to pay for it behind the counter

Small portions made to cut costs and overpriced. There are many great other spots in Newton for a burrito go to somebody who knows what they are doing and workers who actually serve you with a smile on there face these guys made it seem like it was inconvenient for them I was there.

The best burritos in the area.

Burritos are on point, the carnitas never misses

Tango mango is a place everybody loves, the food here always hits the spot, but for the portion sizes they provide the prices do not match. I’ve gone to tango mango for years and I can tell that they like to tax you for every single topping and sometimes change it. It’s almost like they type in what they want to… Their nachos are listed for 6.50 and it ends up being 11.75. Their “medium” burrito is no larger than a soda can and they charge 13$ for it. It’s just unacceptable to charge this much for food, even if the food is decent.

I came here about a week ago and have a few things to share. First, to my disappointment, they do not serve any crispy shell tacos. As I wanted "crunchy", I ordered the nachos, although admittedly going in I was not thrilled by the description: chips, guac, corn, pickled onions, sour cream and jalapenos with choice of meat. The based price being $14.50; with beef add (btw, you cannot get ground beef, only steak) they upcharge you another I think $3.50 or close to that so you now are paying $17.50 for a inexpensive items, i.e, chips and the other items noted. But, I was hungry so got it. Although the creative attempt to redefine nachos is there, I found it overall to be unsatifying. The pickled onion I ended up taking off and not eating, too much corn, leaving mostly chips sauces and steak. Also, when I asked for accompanying salsa for dipping sauce they said they did not provide that, but put the tomato on the chips. Bummer. I can't say it was bad, but certainly not my definition of nachos (beef, cheese, chips, black olives, beans, and a side of salsa and/or guac and sour cream) and overpriced. Again, my choice to try but won't get again.
Horrible experience. Bland and he didn’t put all the ingredients that were supposed to be on it. Ate there and asked them what was the reason they didn’t give me the tortillas he said everybody says they don’t want it. I was hungry today and this was not satisfying unfortunately.

Rude employees, food is less than okay, over price and bad service? Go to Amelia's taqueria 5 minutes away. Way better and cheaper
HUGE fan of their mushroom quesadilla!!
