Mango's Cafe - Mount Laurel

I have been wanting to try this place for about 3 months. Found a dinner date for today, who cancelled out on me before I left work. I called an order in for Spanish rice with steak veggies and 2 papa Rellenas before I left work, and picked up on way home. I had stopped ordering out a few years ago because I'm tired of paying for bad food. Well....let me state loud enough for the people in the back....I WILL BE ORDERING EVERY SATURDAY. The ordering was great, the service was great, the food is GREAT. This is a hidden gem, and I highly recommend.

Food was very very good!!! Quick service and portions are very filling. My family and myself enjoyed our dinning experience!!

Today we went for the first time and we loved it, from the place to the food, everything was very delicious, I recommend it ? Kid-friendliness: It's a family atmosphere

I feel like the reviews for this place were very deceptive. To make a long story short, it wasn’t worth the drive or the price. If you’re used to good, authentic peruvian food- this place comes dead last. The ceviche was warm, lacked salt and the sweet potato was sour. The chupe de camarones- shrimp soup, was underwhelming and wasn’t a chupe of camarones at all. It was missing all the key components of what that soup is. I personally ordered ahí de gallina and a jalea de mariscos- fried seafood. There are some things you can’t mess up on because of how easy they are to make and ahi de gallina is one of them. Unfortunately, one of my favorite dishes tasted like it was made with a salty seafood broth. The white rice was salty and just didn’t pair well with the actual entree. As for the jalea, it was just shrimp, what i’m assuming is tilapia, and yuca. The breading had no real flavor and what saved the dish was the green creamy hot sauce that came with it. The restaurant itself is nice, clean and well decorate and the customer service wasn’t as bad as the reviews made it seem. I wouldn’t come back. The best peruvian restaurant in central jersey is Don Pepe’s in Freehold Jamesburg, everything else is in North Jersey but obviously it’s out the way. I know people will take this review with a grain of salt but as someone who has enjoyed truly delicious peruvian food- this is not it. The food is probably good to others who don’t know have a basis of what they’re eating but it wasn’t wasn’t good, disappointing even. Sorry if this was harsh but it had to be said.

Peruvian food, who knew and didn't tell me? So good! The purple corn drink is surprisingly good. It's an Incan recipe. Check this place out if you're in the Mt Laurel area. You won't be disappointed.
